I sailed from Norfolk, Virginia, to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. When we were in the Bermuda triangle, our ship's compass starting veering to one side, then made complete 360 degree turns, then started spinning. We were passing a magnetic anomaly marked on the chart. Fortunately, over time, the compass corrected itself. If we had been in an aircraft with limited time and fuel, I don't know if the compass correction would have occurred in time for the aircraft to resume course and land.

Why was he even on the board to begin with?

He is a economist who served as the Secretary of Treasury, as the president of Harvard University, and as director of the National Economic Council. Seems like he would be able to give them some good advice.

Given the recent changes to American policy I know people with American passports who are worried they can't even go back into the United States.

Reducing 9 regional offices to 5, laying off 10% of employees, and cutting the budget by 34%, is "dismantling"? The article fails to mention the U.S. Forest Service's budget has doubled in the last 6 years from $4.7 billion in 2018 to $9.3 billion in 2024.

I live in a large suburban home. I spend $1,000/mo on landscaping services and $1,000/mo on maid services. If I could buy a $10,000 robot that could do those things, as well as have apps for doing dinner dishes, laundry, making the bed, and feeding the pets, I would do it in a second.

Good for them. No groundwater for data centers! Data centers should be run closed loop, if they can't, they shouldn't exist. AZ should also make them generate at least 70% of their power onsite.

It was going to use 1% of the available recycled water. That's about the equivalent usage of a medium size farm.

It's a nasty little tool that became huge during the 1980's cut-all-budgets-but-war-on-drugs era.

The public LOVED it because it was used to nail all those drug kingpins... (remember all the ferraris and speedboats the undercover cops had on Miami Vice. It wasn't fiction)

joshuaheard · 4 months ago
Exactly. Now that the War on Drugs is thankfully over, this tool is being used on everyday Americans who are not criminals. It should be outlawed.
