Some detail from a local PA news station in October The Democratic party’s progressive wing has pushed for a ban on fracking because of the environmental damage drilling caused in some areas, including Pennsylvania. But a president cannot ban fracking on private land — only Congress can do that. And the vast majority of fracking in Pennsylvania takes place on private and state land. The state leases about 11 percent of its land — 251,233 acres — to gas drillers. What Biden says he wants to do — as part of his larger plan to tackle climate change — is stop leasing any new oil and gas rights on federal land. But Pennsylvania has very little federal land. The only place where federal leases exist are in the Allegheny National Forest, where there are three oil and gas leases that span about 855 acres.

@jodi said in I’m done.: @bachophile what are the ranges, high, vs medium vs low, do you know? Trying to figure out where our recent levels are on this scale (after having the disease) I really don’t know how to quantify it because I think each serology kit has its own reference values My result was 32 S/CO whatever that means with a big boldface positive after it.

Reform sounds fine to me. If the wrong people are let loose and hide however I am concerned that people in their own community suffer most. That’s where most the crime occurs.

@loki THey're not ending pre-trial detention in all cases though. It would just be more severe, like denial of bail today. (I presume)

Yes, interesting. Oddly enough, currently the Vikings (well, one of them) rule the chess world once again, if not much else.

I've been looking forward to seeing some retrospective reviews of the administration. That's a good one.

@axtremus said in 400,000: @jolly said in 400,000: Exposure. Hard to be exposed when you do not leave your basement. Shows Biden being careful and responsible with good strategic acumen. Not leaving your basement was the smart strategy in the midst of a pandemic. Yes, the results speak for themselves.

Wonder why they waited until yesterday? LOL

@taiwan_girl It was “Bitter Orange Tart” before midnight GMT

@loki said in UK to make millions of HK residents eligible for visas: The UK imperative is easy to understand, and probably was contemplated in the original deal - if and when China took over. It was. I believe that when the China handover in 1997, the residents at that time were offered to either take a UK passport, or the special HK passport. Most took the special HK passport, as they had "roots" there and did not want to give that up.

Not only will it have windows, you may even be able to rearrange all the windows with a simple gesture.

@andyd said in Censored ?: I can't believe Melania didn't take her chance to speak out on the departure podium and repeat her tweet that the Capitol rioters are patriots You are definitely a low-life, classless piece of shit, aren't you? Larry was right...

@lufins-dad said in Day One's Exective Orders: A masking challenge? How fun! People will do anything when it’s a challenge! Ice Buckets, Tide Pods, Spoonfuls of Cinnamon, and wearing masks! How about a 100 Day Colorblind Challenge! No referencing somebody’s race for political gain for 100 Days? Or the corruption challenge! No Biden accepts payment to work in industries that they have no experience or qualifications for? It’s fun! CNN can run a little countdown on their scroll! WHO? Seriously? After the crap they pulled last year? After it became obvious how corrupt that group is? Makes perfect sense... Does this extend for ANY reason or just failure to pay? If somebody’s trashing the joint is the landlord no longer able to evict? Are the landlords being taken care of in the meantime if a tenant isn’t paying? When the moratorium ends do we expect that the tenant will be able to suddenly pay the 18 months of back rent they couldn’t pay before? Hell, 18 months of rent would make a pretty decent down payment. If someone had more brains than honor they could really abuse this. Landlords are screwed no matter what. Do you realize we’ve made more climate progress without the accord than we did in it?Doesn’t matter, though. There’s a lot of money passing hands in the accord... 8&9 Oh no! He’s failing the Colorblind Challenge already! It's all about the benjamins. Joe's family has to eat....

But rise again harder and stronger

Just the best Nobel winner who never got a concept.

Cool. And now I’ve got Huey in my head.
