Diesel prices are at an all-time high. But so are exports. We exported 1.9 MBPD last month. This is almost 40% of the US production of 5 MBPD. If Trump banned/capped exports there would be an immediate increase in US supply and drop in prices. Putin does this for Russia. Why not Trump?

To escape the heat of about 100° near Petaluma we drove to the coast. Only about 20 miles away. It is 25° cooler and we got beautiful views of bodega Bay and a beautiful sunset.

Anyone who wants the Federal Government poking into our voting records must LOVE Flock cameras. Both are unwarranted government intrusions.

Trump just wants chaos for November voting. That way Mike Johnson can refuse to seat winners because of uncertainties in the election. It will be tied up in courts for years. Here’s what Johnson is doing to protect GOP control now. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Mike Johnson cancels final weeks of House votes amid panic over midterm elections
The House will only work four days before the midterm elections after it took a month-long recess — on the heels of the summer break

He is so eager to get this war over so that he can start a war on Cuba . He’ll give the Iranians whatever they want.

Do Slime Molds sleep? Jellyfish sleep and while they don’t have brains they have neurons. But what about slime molds? One might simulate night by using a red light or very little light. Record motion and compare day and night. I don’t keep them but others in this group do. 🧪 #mycology

Ukrainian interceptors are designed for low-speed, low-altitude interception of small, slow targets which travel at roughly 115 mph. They are not capable of targeting high-speed, high-altitude commercial airliners. Takeoff and landing are a different issue. New versions are possible.

The curvature of the CMB is zero within experimental error. The diameter of the observe universe is 92BLY. At the error limit, the total universe is 90 TLY. So 80 billion observable universes can fit in the total universe. If the CMB is flat then it is infinite.

The curvature of space at the CMB is zero within experimental error. The diameter of the observable universe is 92BLY. At the max error the dia of the total universe is 400TLY. So 80 billion observable universes would fit in the total. If curvature is zero, it’s infinite.

First day of Trump’s forever war. Lies for justification, vague and unachievable goals, no exit strategy. Saying people should rise up would lead to an Iranian civil war. We should have to back our side. Perhaps this is what Trump wants. Will Barron sign up?

The DOJ can “investigate” Trump and fiends on child abuse and keep it under wraps. They slow walk the investigations and then declare them inconclusive. They can delete all records of inconclusive investigations in cases of child abuse. Trump signed the “disclosure” act - he knew he was safe.
