Dumb question: Who is that?

Not a fan, but happy for the cubs, really enjoyed watching game 7.

I'm not comfortable with a 2pt handicap based on UK politics. Though the idea does have reasonable merit. The impact of the Bradley Effect is not new and should be controlled for by pollsters. How much it is impacting our election is unknown. I could just as well say that some people who are...

That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about photosynthesis to dispute it.

Kicking the can 2000 years down the road is about as good as a permanent solution in my mind. What kind of crazy problems are we going to have with the environment in 2000 years, and what kind of crazy solutions we will be able to come up? I feel like it'll make our carbon dioxide problem look...

Fuck off of my algae, I'm trying to sink it, not let you burn it up and put it back in the environment you monster.

Better yet:

Who cares about the fish in the middle of the pacific? There's not even that many that live near the surface in the middle of the ocean, right?

I'm still comfortable with my no choice, but I think it'll be a lot closer. I give it a 35% chance of Trump victory. Last week was at 20%.

Oh, and how viable is the idea of genetically engineering massive-algae farms in the ocean that grow like mad and shed excess mass to the bottom of the ocean? I'm talking a Texas sized clump of algae that we'll eventually have to nuke to stop it from stripping out atmosphere completely of carbon...

Difference between solar shingles and solar roadways is I don't need to drive a fully loaded 18 wheeler on top of my roof, and I don't have dickheads throwing garbage on my roof.

With magical nanotech, won't we be able to easily identify virus elements and separate them from other stuff in ways we can't now? Such that we aren't squinting with cumbersome tools, but are identifying very small structures with precision far beyond what we have now?

I like the idea of the Senate and Congress being 1000 people each. Each state gets 20 senators, and an amount of housemembers based on their population. Create a big stadium with stadium style uncomfortable chairs for them to meet in. Reduce the amount of time they can talk to be minimal. Have...

I don't see how this can be done with the current SCOTUS upholding the first amendment. I mean, if this is a fantasy land we can rewrite the meaning behind the constitution, make big money's influence in federal elections minimal and have state sponsored campaigns. Make it such that the only...

Thinking about term limits, I wonder if this would have the downside of making politicians less powerful and less able to stand against big money. If you're a 20 year incumbent housemember of a fairly happy district, your chances for re-election are so high and your campaign costs are so low...
