A number of famous Hollywood big mouths and race baiters have threatened to leave the country if Trump is elected.
I seem to remember it was some of the very same celebrity big mouths that threatened to leave if Bush won in 2000.
While I'm standing firm against Trump, getting Sharpton and that idiot from pMSNBC out of the country is very tempting.

This is really in appropriate. People are giving this kid high 5s and congratulating him for getting together with a str8 p0rn star.
On the other hand a 14 year old hooked up with a gay p0rn Star in the US using a gay hookup app.
see: http://www.gaystarnews.com/article/gay-porn-star-found-guilty-for-raping-14-year-old-boy
That is considered rape even when the boy initiated to encounter.
Please take note of the really ugly double standard.

I don't mind speaking ill of the dead.
Scalia was a huge Catholic bigot.
He never missed an opportunity and went out of his way, to shit on gay people.
He compared gay people to criminals: http://www.bustle.com/articles/124856-antonin-scalia-compares-gay-americans-to-criminals-again-he-seriously-needs-to-stop
And of course he compared us to pedophiles and used the old straw man argument that if we have gay rights that equals pedophile rights. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/scalia-gay-people-pedophiles
He was an all around asshole. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/06/gay-marriage-supreme-court-scalia-dissent
This is one mutt that improved the lot of America by dropping dead and good riddance.
Now if Obama is smart, he'll pick a moderate that will piss off everybody and serve as a voice of common sense between the 4 designated liberal and 4 designated conservative judges.
He won't.

So I contacted Amazon for an osmium flow generator and they didn't have it in stock! There goes that idea.
C
You would have to build it. Osmium is a platinum group metal and is capable of withstanding great heat without expanding, contracting or melting. All of the platinum group metals are rarer than gold and very expensive. They don't have many applications but I think this one is the best fit.
This story implies that it should be possible to build a self-sustaining reaction by containing the energy and using that energy to trigger the fusion of other hydrogen atoms. I also noticed the combination of lasers and superconducting magnetic fields, when it's usually one or the other (using lasers to implode pellets to trigger fusion, or use magnetic fields to squeeze the plasma until it fuses. I hope a young (ie. not set in their ways) nuclear scientist is paying attention!
Where they fail is plasma density and pressure- like the sun. If you can keep enough plasma in the containment bottle, you can have a self-sustaining reaction because the energy release has to be reabsorbed into the plasma raising the energy level to the point where the reaction sustains itself.
Another key is the frequencies of the laser must change as the hydrogen ionizes to produce the necessary quantum harmonic in the plasma as reaches its maximum ionization potential. I didn't want to go there but that would be a really cool laser emitter.
We're going to do this and we're going to do it soon- we being humanity.
When we do, it will change the world.
(That or you've already built one in your basement and this is a truly clever announcement!)
I wish!

First Light
It is stern work, it is perilous work, to thrust your hand in the sun
And pull out a spark of immortal flame to warm the hearts of men-Joyce Kilmer
Cape Verde, Oregon
2019 July 04
1300 PSTWhat had once been on old barn was completely unrecognizable. Scientific instruments of all descriptions surrounded a concrete vault called the pit.
The pit contained the equipment to make the experiment work. It also protected the human participants in the experiment with a foot of lead and six feet of hardened concrete. Once it was sealed, it could only be viewed by remote cameras in the control room above.
The vapor of condensation washed over the pit as liquid nitrogen flowed through the pipes bringing the superconducting coils to their optimal temperature.
Dr. Victor Keller looked at the checklist on his clipboard and gave the order, "Begin charging the containment field."
Keller's assistant manning the containment control console Michael Brenner, a 16 year old junior at Cape Verde High, started the program that begin building the magnetic bottle to contain the reaction. After thirty seconds he said, "Mag field is at thirty percent and building."
Bruce Fields, a writer for the small towns paper asked, "Dr. Keller, if you could do this in an old barn, why isn't someone else doing it?"
Keller answered, "They don't want to. This will change the world Bruce and everyone is invested in the old world. We've had the tech to do it since the nineties. The tough part was the superconductors and I built those myself."
Keller looked at his clipboard and said, "Where are we Mikie?"
Brenner replied, "Sixty-two percent and building fast."
Keller said, "OK Sal, start charging the laser capacitors and prepare for a full burn."
The young lady at the Firestarter console began the sequence to bring the laser system to full power and answered curtly, "Charging now. Expect full power in two minutes."
Brenner went down his checklist and said, "Hydrogen injection."
Brenner's son Matt replied, "Injectors to standby. Ready to prime the reactor."
"Lasers at full power on standby."
"Containment field is at 120% and I can run it higher for you if you think we need it."
Brenner said, "This is it. Begin hydrogen injection."
Down in the pit a thin stream of liquid hydrogen gas began flowing past the osmium flow regulator and flashed to gas in the vacuum of the containment field.
Brenner said, "Building... building ok, slow to one third. Partial pressure is nominal. Begin firing the laser."
The lasers light emitting diodes flashed a stream of coherent light at exactly the right wavelength to be absorbed by the hydrogen and the temperature began rising sharply in the reaction chamber.
Brenner said, "Chamber temperature is at 1000 degrees kelvin and rising fast. 1500. Hydrogen is fully ionized. 2000. 3000. We have plasma. Fusion reaction detected. Reaction is coming up, smartly. Cut injection to 5% and hold."
The team watched the purple fire of the reaction in the monitors as humanity's first self sustaining hydrogen fusion reaction took hold. There was not a single word save the hum of machinery.
Brenner said, "F+ 30 seconds and containment is nominal."
Keller said, "It's working. Reaction yield is holding at thirty-two mega-joules per second. Call it, all stations."
"Containment is nominal."
"Lasers off and retracted."
"Injection is off. There's enough plasma to drive the reaction for an hour."
Keller said, "Remember this guys. We were here for history. Thermal transfer to heat sinks.Bruce- if this were a production reactor, we would be using that heat to drive steam turbines."
"OK let it ride. The reaction should last an hour on the fuel in the containment vessel. Then we vent our plasma, write up our results and publish."
And once again, the world changed because a few geeks in a garage figured out how to do what "they" said couldn't be done.

In something that I'm reading now, the boss scowls, the dog scowls, Mary Sue scowls- everybody scowls.
No one is pensive. No one is thoughtful. No one is worried. They just scowl.
Do you ever see this or catch yourself doing it??? I mean over doing it with a dialogue descriptors, not scowling.

He inherited an economic disaster from Bush and now has unemployment back under 5%. Was it ever that low when Bush was in office? If we're going to blame everything bad that's happened on Obama, then we should give him some credit for the good things, too, right? Seems only fair.
C
Actually I was talking about Bush. Misunderestimate is a famous Bushism.
You assumed I was talking about Obama because... let's be honest... he sucks.
Employment is being spurred by lower energy prices. Obama's solution? Tax the shit out of domestic oil. Wonderful idea.
Of the 300 million people in America, you would think we could come up with someone better.
Our choices since 2000 have been sub-standard.

This may be silly, but it has me wondering. Can anyone tell me why we say, 'a pair of underwear'?
I mean, it's one item, whether it's a pair, ahem, of boxer shorts or briefs. So, why a pair? A pair of socks, sure. But briefs? Why?
C
Because there are two legs and two balls so the pair of underwear is just an extension of the theme.

People think I'm a militarist because I insist on a President that has military experience and, preferably combat experience.
It's NOT because I am a militarist .
I want a chief executive that knows and understands the consequences of pulling the trigger and NOT an impulsive blowhard who feels the need to prove that he has a pair.
