    @LuFins-Dad said in DeSantis Doubles Down: It’s stupid on DeSantis’ part. Disney doesn’t pay the tolls, the consumers will pay the tolls. Ultimately Disney won’t pay the taxes, consumers will pay the taxes. If you do this will it also affect Universal, Busch Gardens, LegoLand, Sea World, and the myriad other resorts and parks in the Orlando area? I get removing the special exemption, but this is crossing the line, IMO. Rather than the stick, it’s time for the carrot. I was thinking the same thing. LOL

    It is amazing how some of the ancient structures were built.

    I agree with Ax on this. The decrease in the "life" of the product is probably NOT because of increased efficiency. I think they are two different subjects.

    @Jolly you said "Is Garland senile, out of touch or a raging liar?" It's possible to be both, isn't it?

    @Copper You should notify those institutions in any case. After all they may not be woke to the facts like you. While you’re at it, by all means do notify the Israeli Embassy in Washington. They too will thank you.

    @Jolly said in "Damaging a book.": I don't like it. If the kid wants to bring a Koran to school, it's his business. Just as if some other kid had brought a Bible. As long as the kid is not evangelizing or disrupting a class, leave them alone. OTOH, I don't like suspending kids for a pretty minor infraction. A public apology, a joint meeting with the local Imam on why the book is sacred to Muslims, then get your ass back in class and don't let it happen again... +1 As there was no ill intent, I would not even insist on a public apology or a meeting with an imam.

    Next, they should throw away all their electric appliances. And all their electronic devices. And all their electric cars.

    @George-K said in New Isotope: uranium-241 likely has a half-life of just 40 minutes. This got me thinking and googling I found this, mildly interesting Lasers could cut lifespan of nuclear waste from “a million years to 30 minutes,” says Nobel laureate https://bigthink.com/the-present/laser-nuclear-waste/#:~:text=It is made up of,million years to 30 minutes!
