Overnight Open Thread (10 Mar 2017)

I guess Spring has been put on hold with the wintry weather we have now and coming next week. Stuff was already blooming around here. Could be some crop issues based on how far the cold will go next week.

Fukushima

Well, not quite Godzilla yet. Baby steps. Toxic wild boars reportedly stalk Fukushima residents.

Artillery

I don't know about this. Wouldn't it be easier to send in a drone with a larger payload? US Army looking to resupply troops via mortar bombardment.

Infrastructure Spending

Trump promised $1T for infrastructure, but the estimated need is $4.5T. How come with all this talk about infrastructure spending, have we not addressed where the last two Presidents spent their ginormous amounts of infrastructure spending on? Obama had around $1T to spend on infrastructure but a lot of it get redirected to stuff other than public works (Solyndra, etc.). Bush had around $750B. Why are we still talking about fixing things that were an issue over 10 years ago and should've been addressed already?

Irony

Irony is truly dead. Nancy Pelosi: American people have a right to now what's in a healthcare bill before it passes.

Resurrection

Resurrecting dead people using stem cells given the green light.

Vaping

Boy I hope some sanity shows up in the e-cig discussion. Why President Trump could be good for the e-cig community. I think Big Pharma is part of the problem, if not more than Big Tobacco, in regard to the e-cig. E-cigs are more effective than the patch which is depressing their sales.

Shitty Comedians

They don't make comedians like they used to. Samantha Bee called young man a Nazi. Then apologized. Kinda. Entertainers today make it so easy for me to save my money.

Nerf Gear

Oh man, I'm gonna have to do this. Nerf mod lets you fire for an eternity. I'm gonna own the guys at work with this thing not to mention that I'll be able to wreck my son and his friends all by my lonesome.
