Old Man Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Yeah. That's one of the two "tells" for this Congress. First, any research into gun violence may not be federally funded. Second, while lots of lip service is given to "just enforce the laws we already have on the books", in point of fact the BATF is deliberately underfunded by the current and last Congress.

Cancer Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I recommend reading the NOAA ENSO Advisory which represents the official and most recent Climate Prediction Center opinion on this subject. In its latest update (September 10th, 2015), El Niño conditions were diagnosed, and are expected to continue through the winter of 2015-16 with a 95% chance. I see no reason to disagree with this assessment.(source as viewed today) We seem to be heading into the strongest El Niño since 1997-8. To make that clear, that one and the one of 1982-3 are called "super El Nino's" in this racket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched four hurricanes whiz past this year already, and there's still two months left in the season. Californioids better get their umbrellas and sandbags ready.

Lucius Alexander I mean, if I die in a traffic accident tomorrow is someone going to blame the palindromedary? It's called temporal association. This thing happened, and then that that thing happened, therefore this thing caused that. Humans are great at pattern recognition, not so good at analysis, and the vast bulk of people operate as much (or more) on gut instinct and superstition as logic. I'd weep, if I wasn't so busy laughing. Sigh. It's a serial problem in my own speciality field of vaccination - we call it the "What else could it be?" problem. cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd equate it to passing out mood altering drugs and hoping nothing bad happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd want to see much better evidence before I assume any linkage with subseqent deaths, though. cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
