Ok, but scientists are human right? Do you think the majority of them are going to dedicate their lives to a field and say "ah, hard to say, who knows?". I'm in the window business, it's not like we say, ah hell, our newest product isn't measurably different in real world applications than the previous model. Look man, the world has unquestionably gotten warmer. But I think we overestimate ourselves when we think we have it all figured out as to the how, why, and what are the ramifications. I have a 10 year old debate with BR running over faith, which is basically the flip side of the same coin. He thinks it is unequivocally hogwash, I think we don't know. People a hundred or thousand years ago were just as sure of their facts as we are of our facts. And half their facts turned out to be bullsh. Who's to say half our facts won't be wrong? Paper or plastic? Florescent or incandescent? Which is greener? It depends on how you look at it. And just saying well, "the scientists say" is a classic logical fallacy.

Bobcats and coyotes are two of my favorite mammals. Freaking survivors.

Are Koalas like possums here, or are they endangered. I could google it, but I'm trying to make conversation.

Where did HR go?

I think that's a good post. Only thing I would add is "hottest on record" is a very small sample size. Climate change dates to antiquity, and even that is a small sample size. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_ancient_Rome

Aussies need to do more controlled burns and fuel control. There is quite a bit of info on that out there. Greenies and many homeowners hate controlled burns, they are deniers. They deny the reality that sooner or late that fuel has to burn and release CO2.

It is bizarre listening to him talk. He loves very simple words, and he loves superlatives

Yah I think you might be on to something there. If the Iranians intended to kill a lot of people, they could. Hell they could send some old woman to a Starbucks with a bomb and kill a bunch of people whenever they want. If they didn't kill anybody, maybe we should let it go.

Biden will sweep the South and become inevitable as the race grinds on unless he loses his dominance of the black vote.

Politics yes. But there are a lot of good people out there, especially in our country. Don't ever forget that.

This is sad news. I'm sorry to lose him as a poster and my condolences to his family. He was definitely a core member of the OT board, and gave it a lot of its vigor.

Where do you come up with this crap? Of course companies take care of themselves, it's your +++++ing job to take care of yourself and your family

You need a million bucks in 401k and or IRA money to retire. Unless you have a pension, which very few private sector people have now. A million bucks should give you the ability to consume about 80 grand a year. That's not as much as it sounds like if you are a dual income family.

The graph clearly shows household debt has declined significantly in recent years. Granted that is from very high levels of household debt following the Great Recession, but it is going in the right direction. As for the all the new jobs are lousy argument... https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/low-wage-workers-are-getting-bigger-raises-than-bosses/
