Evidence Suggests Updated Timeline Towards Yellowstone's Supervolcano Eruption - Slashdot

Evidence Suggests Updated Timeline Towards Yellowstone's Supervolcano Eruption - Slashdot: "Camel Pilot writes:
Geologist have been aware of fresh magma moving in the Yellowstone's super volcano system.
Previously this was thought to precede an eruption by thousands of years.
Recent evidence by Hannah Shamloo, a graduate student at Arizona State University, demonstrates that perhaps the timeline from the underground basin filling to eruption is more on the scale of decades. 
A super volcano eruption has the power to alter life's story on this earth and even destroy all life on a continent.
In light of this, it seems like a good time to invest some effort and resources into finding ways to prepare, delay or deflect the potential threat.
The research was presented at the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI) 2017 conference in Portland, Oregon."

Op-Ed: With fewer ships and more missions, the Navy is forced to keep ships at sea longer in the Pacific | American Military News

Op-Ed: With fewer ships and more missions, the Navy is forced to keep ships at sea longer in the Pacific | American Military News:
"...With fewer ships, the Navy has been forced to curtail maintenance and training for Japan-based ships for years to meet operational commitments in the region.
As a result, ships like the USS Fitzgerald and USS John S. McCain went to sea with expired training certifications and operated on waivers granted through the chain-of-command, as many ships of the Japan-based 7th Fleet had done for years.
...And this is a large part of not only the Navy’s problem, but the American military’s problem, as well.
The current U.S. Navy fleet is 20 percent percent smaller than it was two decades earlier, yet the ships are being deployed at the same rate, and often for longer periods.
These continuous deployments are especially true for forward based warships like the those assigned to the 7th Fleet.
...As it stands now, the only way to reduce the stress on the Navy is to reduce its operational commitments.  
However, doing so in an era of increased North Korean tensions, Chinese naval expansion and a steadily assertive Russia is not an optimal choice..."

Frank Gaffney: Trump Must Not Fall for ‘Bait and Switch’ of Decertifying Iran Nuclear Deal Without Killing It

Frank Gaffney: Trump Must Not Fall for ‘Bait and Switch’ of Decertifying Iran Nuclear Deal Without Killing It:

"“The Iranians are pursuing nuclear weapons as we speak, no question about it, and they’re engaged in a whole host of other activities – some of which are made possible by the $150 billion Barack Obama transferred to them, and that’s not even the money that he gave them for hostages. It’s funding now terrorism, it’s funding now ballistic missile programs, it’s funding now regional instability, and on and on,” he charged.

Gaffney said President Trump’s campaign criticism of the Iran nuclear deal as “the worst deal ever” has been validated and expressed confidence the president still wishes to decertify the deal and withdraw from it."

Behold Our Betters - Kurt Schlichter

Behold Our Betters - Kurt Schlichter
" To be a normal American is to constantly be scolded, to be lectured, to be treated as a morally bankrupt simpleton in need of the guidance and direction provided by an urban elite ruling class notable for its empty academic credentials, its track record of incompetence, and its idolization of people who erotically abuse the foliage.
If we are to have betters, is it so wrong for us to demand that they actually be better?
Superiors should be distinguished by their superiority – if you presume to take charge shouldn’t you demonstrate tactical, technical, and moral mastery?
 So what has our ruling class mastered lately?
What is the skill set that sets the smart set apart?
Are they our betters because of the degrees they hang on the walls of their over-priced, open-floor plan townhouses?
...Where are the elite’s achievements? 
Our betters have been running things and yet they are the ones crying loudest about how awful things are. It’s another scam, of course.
Things are awful, but not for them
...That action is to direct more money and power to the ruling class. 
That’s the answer to every policy question.
Yeah, they’ve failed, but if you reward them, well, then they’ll totally start succeeding..."

This Is What The Sonic Weapon Used On U.S. Officials In Cuba Sounded Like (Video) | The Daily Sheeple

This Is What The Sonic Weapon Used On U.S. Officials In Cuba Sounded Like (Video) | The Daily Sheeple:

"Late last year, reports began surfacing that US diplomatic personnel in Cuba were beginning to experience strange and inexplicable symptoms including dizziness, nausea, memory lapses, difficulty hearing and loss of balance.

Initial reports attributed the symptoms to an “acoustic attack,” but failed to provide any details about the specific nature of the attacks, or – more importantly – who was responsible. The Cuban government denied any knowledge of the attacks.

Since then, the attacks have reportedly caused at least 22 US embassy personnel to suffer traumatic brain injuries, as well as damage to their central nervous systems.

Now, a recording of what some US Embassy workers heard in Havana has been released:

Detroit's Black Firefighters Back White Recruit Fired over 'Racially Insensitive' Watermelon - Breitbart

Detroit's Black Firefighters Back White Recruit Fired over 'Racially Insensitive' Watermelon - Breitbart:

"A group of black firefighters from Detroit are backing their white colleague after he was fired on his first day for bringing a “racially insensitive” watermelon to work.
Robert Pattinson, 41, was fired after introducing himself to his fellow firefighters by bringing in a watermelon with a pink bow on top as part of workplace tradition of new recruits bringing in a gift for fellow employees on their first day on the job."

Kmele Foster Gets Shouted Down by Black Lives Matter Activists After Pointing out That MLK Used Free Speech Protections—Wait, What? - Hit & Run : Reason.com
"So the "Unsafe Space" campus speaking tour sponsored by Spiked (and hosted at least once so far in an emergency backup way by Reason) continues to generate interesting collisions between libertarian commentators and the angry campus progressives who seek to shout them down. 
One recent incident...caught my attention because it involved old pal Kmele Foster, and my favorite piece of writing by Martin Luther King.

Foster (see video below) had just sat through a series of emotional audience harangues defending identity politics and speech-sensitivity as necessary pushbacks against a racist power structure, when he attempted to make a case familiar to Reason readers—that free-speech protections are crucial precisely for minority populations' struggles against the majority:

For so many years in this country, and I'm pointing to the 1960s in particular, speech protections were used by minority groups who were fighting for civil rights, and it was essential for them to be able to secure those rights, in order to advocate. The reason why Martin Luther King, for example, wrote his Letter from a Birmingham Jail from a Birmingham jail was because he was imprisoned for effectively violating speech codes—handing out flyers in the wrong spot, all of these various things. I think this is something that we don't necessarily understand.

It was at that precise moment—the whole speech-codes-hurt-comparatively-powerless-black-people moment—when activists started shouting "Black lives matter! Black lives matter! Black lives matter!" as if, uh, there was any suggestion to the contrary? 

Thus began several minutes of barky audience non-sequiturs such as "WHO controls the facts? WHO controls the facts? It's the system!" 

Eventually Foster was able to complete his point. 

You can read more about it over at Campus Reform (with a corrective follow-up tweet from Kmele) and watch the exchange below:

Congress warned North Korean EMP attack would kill '90% of all Americans'

Congress warned North Korean EMP attack would kill '90% of all Americans':
"Congress was warned Thursday that North Korea is capable of attacking the U.S. today with a nuclear EMP bomb that could indefinitely shut down the electric power grid and kill 90 percent of "all Americans" within a year.
At a House hearing, experts said that North Korea could easily employ the "doomsday scenario" to turn parts of the U.S. to ashes.
In calling on the Pentagon and President Trump to move quickly to protect the grid, the experts testified that an explosion of a high-altitude nuclear bomb delivered by a missile or satellite "could be to shut down the U.S. electric power grid for an indefinite period, leading to the death within a year of up to 90 percent of all Americans..."

Driverless Cars Are Giving Engineers a Fuel Economy Headache - Slashdot

Driverless Cars Are Giving Engineers a Fuel Economy Headache - Slashdot:
"schwit1 shares a report from Bloomberg:
Judging from General Motors' test cars and Elon Musk's predictions, the world is headed toward a future that's both driverless and all-electric.
In reality, autonomy and battery power could end up being at odds.
That's because self-driving technology is a huge power drain.
Some of today's prototypes for fully autonomous systems consume two to four kilowatts of electricity -- the equivalent of having 50 to 100 laptops continuously running in the trunk, according to BorgWarner Inc.
The supplier of vehicle propulsion systems expects the first autonomous cars -- likely robotaxis that are constantly on the road -- will be too energy-hungry to run on battery power alone..."
