The current predicted end of the world is still 4 days away.

Major hurricane destruction and more on the way.
Earthquake

Trump saying he may have no choice to completely destroy N. Korea. (sounds like a nuclear strike to me) Minimum 100k dead, probably more and that's if it's the best result of the attack. If there is a successful counterstrike or some other destabilization, even worse.


At least this end of the world prediction has some elements to it. Usually nothing except a date.

Russian or Chinese interference with US ICBMs -- going off course, one blowing up in China or elsewhere instead? Just looking at the possibility.

Very likely more.

Leaving aside the massive loss of life involved, I wonder if the Orange Caligula has any notion what large-scale damage to South Korea would do to the global economy.

The Ohio firefighter's job is based upon his performance not his values.
As long as he rescues the 'n's' first and then rescues the mutt, he is performing his job, even if he values only the mutt.

What's the difference?

Maybe he voted for Hillary, given her praise for former KKK leaders?

Climate change not as threatening to planet as previously thought, new research suggests

"They also condemned the “overreaction” to the US’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord, announced by Donald Trump in June, saying it is unlikely to make a significant difference."

Like we keep saying, GW is a scam.

A submarine used by Germany during World War I was found basically intact and with bodies of 23 people inside off the coast of Belgium.

Authorities said the UB II-type diver was found on the floor of the North Sea at about a 45 degree angle, between 82 to 98 feet below the surface. The boat is 88 feet long and nearly 20 feet wide.


If there are bodies inside, does that mean the interior likely didn't flood?

Might be skeletons. Might be loss of compressed air to blow ballast tanks or damage to diving planes that prevented surfacing.
