[06:57]	IsambardPrince	NPR promotes the fictional "international law".
[06:57]	IsambardPrince	There is no such thing as it pertains to the United States, or any sovereign country.
[06:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	it also pro0motes bill gates
[06:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	who flew pedo planes
[06:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	and "it's ok"
[06:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	because "air space"
[06:57]	IsambardPrince	There are treaties where it has agreed to something, but there's no penalties for a treaty violation other than the treaty might be suspended by the other side too.
[06:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	just trafffic girls through a plane
[06:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	and do it in cabins
[06:58]	IsambardPrince	The people who talk about "international laws" don't notice that they don't apply to the United States.
[06:58]	IsambardPrince	Treaties are considered to be as binding as federal law.
[06:58]	IsambardPrince	That is to say, if they are unconstitutional, then that part is without effect as if we had never agreed to it.
[06:58]	IsambardPrince	It would be the federal courts that decide that.
[06:59]	IsambardPrince	For example, if the government passed a treaty requiring it to disarm the American public, that would be unconstiutional.
[06:59]	IsambardPrince	So it would be without effect.

[07:00]	IsambardPrince	It cannot agree to anything that violates the Constitution.

[07:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	it's like writing an article about wwhether the meal given to 9/11 plotters was "balanced enough"
[07:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	i think the exploding pagers are terrib
[07:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	cruel
[07:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	i don't condone them

[07:03]	schestowitz[TR2]	and other weapons
[07:03]	IsambardPrince	Treaties that the US agrees to are like any federal law.
[07:03]	schestowitz[TR2]	some say those estimates are exaggerated
[07:03]	IsambardPrince	It's not self-executing.
[07:03]	schestowitz[TR2]	so say even 50,000
[07:03]	IsambardPrince	They're subject to signing statements.

[07:03]	schestowitz[TR2]	cutting off fingers, communication devices and eyesight of the people who operate the launchers is something the US too would do
[07:04]	schestowitz[TR2]	Hebollah is even more cruel than hamas
[07:04]	IsambardPrince	Signing statements don't carry any legal weight in our system, but executive orders do.
[07:04]	schestowitz[TR2]	*hez
[07:04]	IsambardPrince	Signing statements are published in the Federal Register, but they're more like footnotes.
[07:04]	IsambardPrince	Like the administration is commenting on how it plans to interpret that part.

[07:06]	schestowitz[TR2]	anyway though, back to tech

[07:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	yes, very imprecide
[07:11]	IsambardPrince	The United States (as well as many countries) can arrest and try acts of piracy.
[07:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	given the total number of these, maybe the main injured people looked at the message
[07:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	and lost fingers//eyes
[07:11]	IsambardPrince	It doesn't matter whether they were committing the piracy against an American-flagged vessel.
[07:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	and the rest are bystanders with lesser injuries
[07:11]	IsambardPrince	We can arrest and try pirates in American courts, period.
[07:12]	IsambardPrince	As long as we can catch them.
[07:12]	schestowitz[TR2]	cluster bombs and land mines are issues because they explode a lot later

[13:43]	MinceR	21 070645 < schestowitz[TR2]> MinceR: orban should demand the sacking of the weatherman
[13:44]	MinceR	well, last time Met didn't say what he liked on the 20th of august, he dissolved Met and had HungaroMet established
[13:44]	MinceR	so every time the weather doesn't go his way, he can have a new organization founded and tack on another "Hungaro" on the name
[13:44]	MinceR	it's a very mature way of dealing with the weather, about as mature as cursing a fig tree for not being in fruiting season

[22:01]	IsambardPrince	I've had a fouled injector before, on this car.
[22:01]	IsambardPrince	Thankfully there are some fuel additives that can clean them out, but dirty injectors still can happen.
[22:02]	IsambardPrince	Those openings are very small. Just a tiny amount of deposit can make them start spraying wrong or make them unable to close fully.

[22:04]	IsambardPrince	Gasoline is cheaper than a new car.
[22:04]	IsambardPrince	So it may be an acceptable trade-off to drive a gas guzzler to avoid a car loan.
[22:05]	IsambardPrince	The same thing is happening with these old nuclear plants. In the short term it's cheaper to extend the license 30 years and keep pouring more reactor fuel in.
[22:05]	IsambardPrince	You would never design something like this now, but it's already built so it's the "we're stuck with it" effect.

[22:11]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], You sign an ARM, you have no idea what will happen in 5 or 7 years, depending on whether it's a 5/1 or a 7/1. 5/1 is more likely.

[22:16]	IsambardPrince	Russia went terribly wrong because it was essentially privatized overnight at criminally low prices, to criminals, with few of the Russian citizens getting any benefit.
[22:16]	TR News	OpenEarth Foundation Watch: Update to California Legislation SB-253 gemini://gemini.patatas.ca/posts/open-earth-foundation-ca-legislation-update.gmi
[22:16]	IsambardPrince	Industrial output declined rapidly, they stopped having children and started killing themselves or drinking themselves to death.
[22:17]	IsambardPrince	The same sort of thing is happening in the US right now.
[22:17]	IsambardPrince	Same effect.
[22:17]	IsambardPrince	Different causes.
[22:18]	IsambardPrince	The US started going really wrong because without the threat of Communist uprisings if things got too bad here, the criminals which already owned the means of production in the US were emboldened to do things that they could only dream of before.
[22:18]	IsambardPrince	They gutted the US industry, destroyed labor unions, plundered pension funds, outsourced and offshored, and started allowing illegal aliens into our country in droves to destroy social cohesion and drive down labor cost.
[22:19]	IsambardPrince	Over the last thirty years or so, what was a relatively unified, English-speaking country has been dismantled.
[22:20]	IsambardPrince	And replaced with people who don't speak a word of English and are ready to do jobs too cheaply for the American workers to even compete with, with any sort of living standard we used to have.
[22:20]	IsambardPrince	Instead of integrating, they bring their own weird customs and rituals into the country they invaded while the Border Patrol was told to stand down.
[22:21]	IsambardPrince	The US is now this bizarre thing that resembles Mexico and post-Soviet 90s/2000s Russia.
[22:21]	IsambardPrince	One reaction to this is that Trump has a following because he's correctly identified one reason the country is breaking apart.
[22:23]	IsambardPrince	Mexicans and Venezuelans are Catholics, but different.
[22:23]	IsambardPrince	The US was never a Catholic nation, in fact most States have anti-Catholic clauses in their Constitutions. The Catholics got into the Supreme Court like cockroaches and nullified it recently.
[22:24]	IsambardPrince	Very few Midwesterners, myself included, want more Catholics here.
[22:24]	IsambardPrince	It's been tolerated to the extent that we had to and there were always relatively few of them.
[22:24]	IsambardPrince	But the Catholic church has been financing the invasion because it brings in Catholics.
[22:25]	IsambardPrince	One thing they seem to have in common with American Catholics is the level of sin and vice throughout the week, followed by Confession.
[22:25]	IsambardPrince	My mother was talking about a nurse's aid she worked with who got pregnant by a 16 year old illegal immigrant who was beating her.
[22:26]	IsambardPrince	He was a migrant farm worker, and on the weekends they'd all get drunk and pass around the same whore to entertain themselves.
[22:26]	IsambardPrince	They were probably in Confession every week too.
[22:26]	IsambardPrince	Catholics, you know I hate em.
[22:27]	IsambardPrince	If you wonder why all of the really disgusting venereal diseases and Measles and all sorts of shit are spreading again, look at the trash and filth that's coming here.
[22:28]	IsambardPrince	None of them are vaccinated for anything.
[22:30]	IsambardPrince	The Catholic Church is nothing more than a manure spreader.
[22:30]	IsambardPrince	Ruining every country it goes to, its only goal is more Catholics.
[22:30]	IsambardPrince	It's a disease.
[22:35]	IsambardPrince	Anyway, there's a lot of reasons why the US feels like Post-Soviet Russia now.
[22:35]	IsambardPrince	People overdosing on Chinese narcotics everywhere is probably one of them.
