She doesn't really have an official policy yet. Not surprising given the number of issues she needs positions on and how quickly this campaign needed to spin up. She basically went straight into campaign events. Presumably she'll have a platform by the DNC

That seems like a bad policy.

If you are serious about losing weight, what I would suggest you do is start recording what you are eating in detail to see where the calories are actually coming from. Make a spreadsheet and track it. Also if you aren't already active, pick up some activity to become less sedentary. Doesn't need to be working out, could be a sport, could be going for more walks.

Can you give an example of what you currently eat? I.. doubt you aren't losing weight if you are really eating 900 calories a day.

This is what most hacking is.

Sure of the first point I guess? I'm not some huge advocate of this technology, I'm just saying it's not an apples to apples comparison where you can simply say its 4x worse.

On the second point, no. It takes 10s or 100s of millions of years for coal/oil to form. And most of the stuff we mine/drill for was formed from trees before bacteria/fungus evolved ways to break down cellulose, so dead trees just piled up. Its plausible that its never removed from the carbon cycle unless we are the ones to put it back where we got it from. It will certainly not happen on human time scales.

Eeeh. Its reasonably to try I guess, but looking at the examples, its cherry picked promotional materials where the words jump and dive were used as swimming related puns for going to the museum. None of them were literal advertisements about jumping into the sprinkle pool.

The way its currently operating seems highly inefficient, but the point about biopower stations is that they aren't introducing more carbon into the carbon cycle. These trees would have died eventually and returned to the carbon cycle naturally, they are just controlling the process for human power. Imagine if it was running off of a tree farm that was geographically next to the power plant, for instance.

Look at the winter games and the home advantage in Vancouver might be the highest on the whole thing.

Plenty of latino people identify as white. Another group have fled to the US from socialist countries like Cuba, and don't like the left. Yet another have gone through the immigration process properly and resent the idea of others being able to bypass what they had to go through. (obviously there is some heavy overlap in these groups). When you add them all together its not an insubstantial % of latinos.

Trans-Equity is apparently a real estate brokerage in Florida. Maybe a backup of their website?

Northern Ireland is on the Isle of Ireland, but part of the UK. Ireland has a fraught history with the UK. Look into "the troubles" if thats a new term to you.
