@Ivorythumper said in It’s fireworks season again. Let’s be careful out there:

That needs to be set to the 1812 Overture.

Do y'all remember Jeff Foxworthy? "If you store your box of fireworks under the gas tank to keep them out of the sun, you might be a redneck."

So, maybe the conspiracies are real.

I'll believe it when I see the Chinese border guards on the moon.

So it is.

Her donors would pay that out of their pocket change, hence the thread title.

LMAO!

You got a union pension?

Common human decency?

There is no such thing.

Hmmm ... maybe you can blame that rather unfortunate omission on whoever or whatever created the humans, if you are the sort who believe that humans were created.

BTW, if you believe Genesis, Adam and Eve were created as immortal beings, free from sin...I suppose that will fit your definition of decency. For how lack of decency began, I invite you to read Genesis. It is the beginning, after all...

If we're going to take things literally, you'd really think somebody with all that power would have better things to do than make up arbitrary rules about fruit.

@xenon said in The world is returning to coal:

I still don’t understand the aversion to nuclear… if you wanna throw money at something - there’s something that had a proven outcome.

Nuclear's a bit scary, I think. There's this worry that you happily live somewhere for 20 years, and then suddenly everybody gets cancer.

With coal, at least you can see the slag-heap as it falls on top of your village.

They really wanted him gone. And he did too.

And then the murders began.

Well, it wouldn't be quite down to 500M, but it's a good start....

Why would you want it?

I’m happy to let the private companies and individuals move or stay as they wish.

Why would you want to stop the mass migration of companies and individuals within the USA?

Californication.

Houston is pretty metropolitan. Get out of town aways, they're out there.

I've got an old friend in Buna up near Beaumont. Old and bed-bound now, in his day he was quite a critter. Like a lot of small cattlemen, he worked a day job and raised cows on the side. He had a hundred acres of pasture interspersed with pecan trees.

Mike was born and raised about a mile and half from me. Raised a cattleman, married a cattleman's daughter. Probably born bowlegged and so thin if he turned sideways, you'd lose sight of him. Made a heckuva sight bouncing around his place in a ratty old pickup with his running buddy, a black jaguar. May have been born in Louisiana, but he'll die pure Texas. Which won't be too long.

That's the bad thing about getting older. Older you get, the less friends you got.

Well I hope the guy doesn’t go to prison for that. No sense in wasting another life over that.

@Jolly

I was well aware of the Scots who served under the Tsars. I even knew a Russian with the family name Gordon from, at the time, Leningrad- now St. Petersburg (again). Yes she was a descendent.

We had a Curtis Mathes about that size...

I hear the train a’coming.

LOL, and the greenies still won't acknowledge that this is a far more dangerous way to transport it than a pipeline.

But...the ENVIRONMENT!

Sounds great. Also, cool that you name your trees.
