Well, to be honest wind from the North is often the most cruel. I try to lose all cruelty, but I'm not as successful at it as I want to be.

It's possible that the Frump will be impeached. Sadly, that will leave us with a new pres (Pence) that the Republicans LOVE far more than his orange majesty. Seems we are screwed no matter what. It shocks me that some people can be SO evil. T'ain't right I tells ya.

Haven't seen a deed of any wind, ever. We own the wind? Surely you jest good sir? Seems more likely that the wind owns us. Just saying.

Eep. The truth does hurt now and again.

Thank you very much for doing the sleuthing, Dan!

Ignorant me, I thought it was a quote from the Bible.

Puerto Rico to Peru--must be very smart balloons indeed. All seriousness aside for a moment, who's head will fit in that gigantic safety helmet?

Well said, Dan. "Oh God, pride of man--broken in the dust again." Lyrics in "Quicksilver Messenger Service's" probably most popular song.

Solar sails have always seemed very fragile to me. I don't know if "maneuvering" out of the way of "really fast stuff" is possible for spacecraft of any size. The movie "Gravity" seems to say that you have to know something is coming long before it does. Solar cells would seem a great idea for...

Returning to the original subject of this thread for a moment, it looks like I may have to change to an AMD processor machine as soon as is possible. Intel has proven itself to be a pawn of the Evil Ones--and irredeemably so.

Gosh knows we are squarely on target for human extinction and in less than fifty years, imho. We are SO fortunate that the Galumph administration sees this so clearly. All I can do is to live frugally and not add to our pace of self extinction. I'm not doing this very well. I live small but can...

Solar sails are only anchored to the spacecraft they pull. I dunno whether solar sails are practical for light loads--they have to be huge to sail on the solar wind.

I wish the Airlander the very best of luck. Perhaps the pessimism of my nature raises danger higher than it should be. Maybe you aren't so much of a fan as you seem to be and are really looking at this realistically. The missile defense is a very good feature.

LOL! There really is a movie about "sharknados," how nuts can Hollywood get? Thank goodness for helium. Airplanes are almost proof against lightning, which is wonderful because there's so much of it. Dunno why a helium filled "balloon" should be less safe, but I don't genuinely know.

Maybe I expect too much from the Democrats. I don't really mind doing that, I lean Left. The leadership of the Democratic party sure as hell doesn't. Rightists of all stripes don't agree with me. In case you haven't noticed, the Dems have leaned HARD right for the last thirty or forty years. The...

Yes, but ships don't need to lose altitude safely before they are safe on the "ground." Gosh knows they are slow, but still the most economical way to move large loads. I'm not bad mouthing airships but they are more subject to bad weather than are ships on the oceans--just because what goes up...

This Mr Ossof that the Dems are pushing for in Georgia said he was not in favor of single payer. A good Blue Dog, that's what he is. I don't support any Blue Dog Dems. In fact, the entire Dem Party is stinking like old fish. Yes, they aren't quite as cruel as the Republicans are, but they try to...

It certainly would. Yet inflatables have always been subject to weather caused problems.

Mercy (yeah, sure we'll see it) we are being whipped with dangling bits of sharpened metal. It feels bad. Allegedly, most of those that voted for Trump the Destroyer are happy with their choice. Yes Virginia, Americans tend to be stupid as bricks.

LOL! Sausage in all forms is bad for the eater. Perhaps Kim yadda just can't get enough? That yellow color is truly nauseating.
