OzoneTom replied to the topic 4 Ships, including 2 Saudi Oil Tankers, Targeted in Sabotage Attacks Off UAE's Fujairah Port in the forum Latest Breaking News 3 years ago
“I expect there will be further incidents leading up to the invasion of Iran. It may even be that the US is assisting in Yemen in exchange for Saudi assistance there.”
Which would mean that an inability to halt American complicity in the Yemen disaster meant missing a chance to stop or delay full-scale war.

Wind is created by trees waving back and forth.
Honestly, I have seen it many times.
Also to some degree, tall grasses waving back and forth can stir-up breezes!

OzoneTom replied to the topic Jeff Bezo's Washingturd Post – Joe Biden's Support is Way OUT OF PROPORTION to What 13% Looks Like in the forum General Discussion 3 years ago
That recent DK graph was the first thing that I thought of! Graphs are used to visualize and better understand data. This one is clearly intended to mislead.
All of the bars are of an identical visual style, which in a graph indicates that they are of the same data series. In this graph the (apparently only) series is “votes”. A series is a…[Read more]

OzoneTom replied to the topic US Navy SEAL officers attempted to cover up evidence of war crimes in the forum Latest Breaking News 3 years ago
Thanks, from your lips to dogs ear.
I just did a quick search and it looks like the Uniform Code article 77 is what I was thinking of.
There’s also Article 78, “accessory after the fact.” That would be it’s own separate offense, presumably a lesser one — but I’d still be (happily) surprised to see it applied to any in the chain-of-command in…[Read more]

OzoneTom started the topic JPR 404 page "homepage" link destination (bug-minor) in the forum Help and Q & A 3 years ago
The 404 page, displayed when a non-existent page on the site is requested, contains a link “homepage” having the same destination as the requested and non-existent page.
It should go to the actual JPR home/landing page.
This is a minor defect as there is a work-around using menu-bar “Home” link.

“…systematically protected by his SEAL superiors for a year”
I believe that under some sections in the U.S. Code of Military Justice, those who aid and abet a crime might be prosecutable as a Principal for the actual crime as well.
Wonder if that applies here. Not that I will be holding my breath for others to be charged for this any more t…[Read more]

OzoneTom replied to the topic Bernie Adviser Nina Turner Blasts Audience From Black Women’s Forum for Booing Senator’s MLK Comments in the forum General Discussion 3 years ago
The reason? My suspicion is that there are a lot of people in the crowd who are still “with Her” and detest Senator Sanders. They certainly seemed primed and eager to demonstrate this and didn’t really care what he was saying.
There is time for the Senator to persuade them.

OzoneTom replied to the topic What time is it? in the forum Help and Q & A 3 years ago
There were a couple of discussions on this issue in the “Help and Q&A” forum a while back.
All times are GMT and it would break something if that is changed.
In the last thread I see OB commented with the offset to apply for U.S. “We’re using universal time, or Greenwich Mean Time. Subtract 4 hours for Eastern, 7 for Pacific.”
Hopefully th…[Read more]

OzoneTom replied to the topic 2020 Democrats confronting debate over letting felons vote in the forum General Discussion 3 years ago
I think that Senator Sanders would be wise to incorporate @AOC perspective into the discussion:
To avoid looking completely + utterly out of touch w/ the reality our prison system:
Instead of asking, “Should the Boston Bomber have the right to vote?”
Try, “Should a nonviolent person stopped w/ a dime bag LOSE the right to vote?”
Bc that question reflects WAY more people.

On South America’s largest solar farm, Chinese power radiates
Local officials said they had sought help at home, the United States and Europe without success. Potential lenders and partners, they said, were spooked by the project’s size and the fiscal woes of Jujuy province, one of the poorest in the country.

A system holding persons against their will is to a large degree responsible for the safety of their conditions.

I watched him in the Warren MI livestream. He was continuously pounding one thing after another — very impressive, no one works harder.

OzoneTom replied to the topic Wikileaks File Dump in the forum Latest Breaking News 3 years ago
As mentioned above and in other posts, Rep. Gabbard is providing great leadership on Assange. I don’t believe that Sen. Sanders is strongly driven to put himself in the center of every discussion when he has competent allies.

OzoneTom replied to the topic Enough collusion talk. It's time to focus on Trump's corruption in the forum General Discussion 3 years ago
Corruption is well-distributed across the political spectrum. The types of corruption as well as the size have no preferred political orientation.
The trouble with starting to pull threads is that it is difficult to stop the unraveling at your convenience.

In the aughts I recall having the small company I was working for change the health insurance providers three times in three years because of large increases in premium costs.
They paid 100% of the cost for employees and were able to find comparable offerings while reducing the increased costs to the company.

Yep, if one is trying to persuade others and repeats easily-disproven charges, it only reduces their own credibility.
