Earth's "Big Freeze" Looms As Sun Remains Devoid Of Sunspots For Most Of 2018

Where's algore when you need him to warm the planet?

Earth's "Big Freeze" Looms As Sun Remains Devoid Of Sunspots For Most Of 2018

"Scientists believe that  Earth could experience a “big freeze”  as the sun goes through what’s known as  “solar minimum.”During this time, sunspots are minimal and the globe could be in for a wicked cold snap.

Scientists are reporting that the sun has been free of sunspots for a total of 133 days this year,  according to The Express UK. With only 241 days of 2018 passing, that means the sun has been blank for the majority of the year. Experts continue to warn that this is a sign that the solar minimum is on its way. ...."

No, the South African Government Has Not Actually Stopped Its Plans to Steal Farmers' Land

The only reason I've not been posting Styx videos is since a Windows update the sound of certain videos ... his videos and a couple others I subscribe to ... does not play. Sound does work on my phone so a Windows issue. 

Great discussion, but language warning.

Facebook Engineer's Stunning Admission: "We Tear Down Posters Welcoming Trump Supporters"

Facebook Engineer's Stunning Admission: "We Tear Down Posters Welcoming Trump Supporters"

"The scathing indictment of Facebook's liberal "mono-culture" continues:

We do this so consistently that employees are afraid to say anything when they disagree with what’s around them  politically.?  HR has told me that this is not a rare concern, and I’ve personally gotten over a hundred messages to that effect. Your colleagues are afraid because they know that they — not their ideas — will be attacked.  They know that all the talk of “openness to different perspectives” does not apply to causes of “social justice,” immigration, “diversity”, and “equality.” On this issues, you can either keep quiet or sacrifice your reputation and career.

"These are not fears without cause" Amerige writes, and continues the stunning disclosure of the company's biased culture, "Because we tear down posters welcoming Trump supporters.  We regularly propose removing Thiel from our board because he supported Trump. We’re quick to suggest firing people who turn out to be misunderstood, and even quicker to conclude our colleagues are bigots. We have made “All Lives Matter” a fireable offense.  We put Palmer Luckey through a witch hunt because he paid for anti-Hillary ads.  We write each other ad-hoc feedback in the PSC tool for having “offensive” ideas. We ask HR to investigate those who dare to criticize Islam’s human rights record for creating a “non inclusive environment.” And they called me a transphobe when I called out our corporate art for being politically radical.

Amerige wasn't alone in his criticism of Silicon Valley's liberal bias, and as the NYT reports, since the post went up,  "more than 100 Facebook employees have joined Mr. Amerige to form an online group called FB’ers for Political Diversity."  The aim of the initiative, according to Mr. Amerige’s memo, is to create a space for ideological diversity within the company. ...."
