Thanks, this was a really well-thought-out post.

On a planet with a surface ~3/4 covered in water, I've always just assumed since I was young that hotter weather would just mean more intense water cycles. Anywhere not landlocked on the wrong side of a watershed could stand to benefit from the extra humidity. Hopefully California can actually make use of this. There was recent rainfall the past couple years, but they have a long way to come in terms of infrastructure and also dealing with their eco laws at arms with building more reservoirs and other means of avoiding the fluctuating seasons of dry and wet.

It reminded me constantly of John Steinbeck on the drought cycle in the Salinas Valley, “During the dry years, the people forgot about the rich years, and when the wet years returned, they lost all memory of the dry years. It was always that way.”

For anyone who hasn't, I highly recommend checking out the drone footage of the Oroville dam. The scale of destruction was massive, and rumor has it even sparked a tiny gold rush after so much bedrock and sediment was churned up.

Get your facts outta here. Can't you see people are trying to force a perceived threat based on their feelings here?

Check out Exegesis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Exegesis_of_Philip_K._Dick Pretty far out there though. He sort of went insane.

Or someone is seeking to force a narrative but can't quite decide how to do that while actually making sense and not backpedaling on accusations.

He goes on to say get as close as you can to the truth by dissecting the raw data for yourself. It's one more sentence, read it buddy. You can do it.

Only if the status quo you are referring to is the political, which was the same as TPTB, and not the social. This country did not want more of the old administration and took option B.

We're about to see a new piece of ice cleave off about the size of Delaware in Antartica. As ridiculous as that is, I think the most worrisome part is that it will further destabilize the ice shelf and the rate of it falling apart is only supposed to increase by this.

Ignorance does seem to be the willful plight of the further-leaning left at the moment, so I have to somewhat agree with him. But I get your point.

Just speculation here, but last I looked into it, video cards were worthless when it comes to ROI compared to the specialized mining hardware used nowadays, which is continuing to advance.

Debatable. Take these sites with grains of salt, but leave with the idea that the results of each in combination taken with salt still skew the results ALOT.

Potentially millions of Illegals voted. (potentially) http://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/trump-is-right-...

Here's one illegal that voted FIVE times. http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Trial-Begins-in-Alleged-Ill...

AND the DHS supposedly under Obama administration tried to hack electronic voting polls for six states. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-12-08/georgia-accuses-hom...

EDIT: I only said supposedly on the third because SIX is the supposed number, but the Georgia one DID happen.
