Has anyone ever found anything, any artifact, any drawings, any sculptures...anything that would have been powered by this said powerplant?

Neither is there any historical indications that they were tombs or edifices built for any ruler or Pharaoh. The best explanation I've heard that made any sense was that they were used to manufacture certain chemicals with ammonia being the most produced by quantity.

Simply put, human beings of that time, did not have the ability to go build infrastructure TWO MILES below the Earth's surface.

It's 2 km, not two miles. It's a tad under a mile-and-a-quarter - a little over 6,500 feet. But back to your statement that humans of that time did not have the ability to build two [kilometers] underground... By all reckoning, they didn't have the ability to build those structure out of cut and shaped rocks that weighed over 20 tons each, yet the evidence is standing right there staring all our sophisticated, modern homo sapiens sapiens right there in the face and essentially tea-bagging our whole species.

The federal government can create programs for education and the states can decide whether they want the money or not with all the stipulations taking the money entails. Let us be honest: what the GOP states want is the federal government money with little or no stipulations.

---

1) Please show me in the Constitution where the federal government has any authority to spend federal monies on education. Education falls entirely and exclusively under the purview of the several states.

2) What the Dems wanted (and got) was to make money available to schools as long as the states and municipalities would kow-tow to whatever the federal government said to do. It was a power grab by the federal government using federal funds as a carrot. To be fair, the Republicans have proven no better in this regard.

3) The federal government does not have the authority to simply create whatever programs they feel like creating. Federal programs are notorious for exceptionally high costs and pitifully poor performance. Name ONE federal program that provided a real benefit at a reasonable cost. Just one.

Once rather cute and attractive. Still quite attractive, but nowhere near the level she was a few years ago. The decline is evident. And, in a few more years she'll have dropped down to an OT 3 rating at best.

Liberalism espouses hatred of people and ideas rather than fostering love for anything or anyone. That poison inevitably circulates in a person's soul and has a marked effect on their physical appearance over time. It's an interesting phenomenon that is readily observable.

three co-equal branches of government

---

I'm beginning to think that you and many others have the belief that co-equal means that two out of three have to agree on every little issue that arises. Do you understand that each branch performs a separate function? The executive branch has the authority to issue visas and to revoke visas. The judicial branch has no say in the matter. If foreign agents are in the United States without a visa they are here illegally and it is the responsibility of the executive branch to remedy that.

To hear you tell it, one would believe that a jury trial would be required prior to the commencement of every operation on a battlefield to ensure that the rights of the enemy were protected while they were shooting at us.

It would be great in a Louisiana marsh! It drafts about four to six inches of water depending on how you have it loaded, it's stable as heck so there's no fear at all of tipping when you walk up and down the deck, and it's pretty easy to pole from the poling platform.

25HP 2-stroke pushes me nearly 30MPH.

It's fiberglass, so I'm a bit cautious around the rocks on the Chattahoochee. but I don't think there are three rocks exposed on the surface of the ground in the entire state of Louisiana, so you should be good.

The 13-foot Highsider is rated for 5HP...
15'-4" Highsider is rated for 10 HP...
There's also a Super 16 model but I don't know the HP rating for it. I've seen a couple running with 40's on the stern.

The sister company, Custom Gheenoe, makes the LT (Low Tide) models.

Depending on which model you can find of the discontinued LT15, it'll be rated for 25HP on the first year's models (2007) and dropped to 15HP rating on the later models. It's 15'-10" in length with a 52" beam.
There was no change in the design, only a different Coast Guard inspector the second time around who wouldn't budge on the width-to-transom ratio and forced the manufacturer to change the rating to 15HP.

The LT25 is 16'-0" and rated for 25HP. I believe it has a 58" beam.

There's also the LT10 that looks a lot like the a cross between a Highsider and the LT15. It has a 10HP rating and is stable as well.

I'd recommend any of them for heading into the marshes. I started with a 15'-4" HIghsider and an 8HP tiller outboard that moved it around 20MPH. Moved to the LT15 for a little extra room and a center console set-up.

What the hell is going on with the Veterans? did Trump fire too many Veterans

it's a talking point on social media, I have no clue what the heck they are talking about

Trump loves the Veterans, so what am I missing?

Only thing I can think of is that the transgenders are being discharged from military service. I don't believe they're getting slapped with dishonorable discharges, but I believe it'll be either medical or "other than honorable." More than likely "medical" will be recorded on their DD-214s.

angelle - Your link regarding Hunter's SS detail was written back in April 2022. The most recent item I can find anywhere regarding Hunter having an SS detail is from late 2024.

Can you point me to a more recent source please?
