How often have you walked around in 120+ degree heat, wearing body armor and a field pack?Oh, the AC is for the equipment? The offices aren't air conditioned?Eisenhower didn't have to deal with keeping modern electronics working!
Never?
Then how about you shut the fuck up?
Who gutted NASA, again?The ITT guys were in Incirlik, Türkiye.Really. Then why did you mention the ITT guys in Kuwait once? I believe it was on Neutral Underground.I've never claimed I was in Kuwait. For the Middle East, I was in Türkiye, Egypt, Morocco, Israel. And I was told I was standing in Syria, but I don't believe it.
Nevertheless, you know it's hot in the Middle East. So why don't you give a shit about our troops?
Edit to add: yeah, it's hot in southern Türkiye, too.
When I was in Croatia in 1993(?) we were in tents - no AC. Just blower fans.
I'm just asking about priorities, when NASA has been gutted, and more people are being denied basic services.
Indeed. So why do you want to deny a bit of relief from the heat to our troops?How often have you walked around in 120+ degree heat, wearing body armor and a field pack?Oh, the AC is for the equipment? The offices aren't air conditioned?
Never?
Then how about you shut the fuck up?
Oh, so the AC is for outside?
Yes, dave, I have been in 120 heat. In Sharm el Sheik, Egypt, and in Panama City, Panama.
When you come inside to a 80-90 degree room from the 120 outside, it feels rather cool.
Either the money appropriated by the Republican House, or it's not.Who gutted NASA, again?The ITT guys were in Incirlik, Türkiye.Really. Then why did you mention the ITT guys in Kuwait once? I believe it was on Neutral Underground.

I have a problem with paying for the quartering and maintenance of troops (and armed "contractors") whose presence in Iraq serves the interests of the oil industry -- which should be paying the bills for that service. We had no business invading that country in the first place.Synth,
What is purpose of this thread?
Do you have a problem with troops in the desert having Air Conditioning in their living areas or what?
And this is where reality rears its ugly head.Either the money appropriated by the Republican House, or it's not.Who gutted NASA, again?The ITT guys were in Incirlik, Türkiye.

Oh, yeah -- Obama.
Obama has no funds at his disposal.
All he can do is urge the Republican House to fund it.
I thought you said you'd been to hot places?No. Un-air-conditioned offices are 80-90 degrees.Indeed. So why do you want to deny a bit of relief from the heat to our troops?Oh, so the AC is for outside?

I guarantee you that if the Democrats take back the House in 2014, this will be scrapped.And this is where reality rears its ugly head.Either the money appropriated by the Republican House, or it's not.Who gutted NASA, again?

Planetary Scientists Protest 'Disastrous' 2014 NASA Budget Cuts | Space.com
The Obama administration unveiled the budget plan April 10, requesting $17.7 billion for NASA $50 million less than the agency got in 2012. The budget must be approved by Congress before it becomes official. Under the budget proposal, planetary science would receive $1.217 billion in 2014. Discounting the $50 million earmarked for producing plutonium-238, which fuels deep space vehicles (this used to be paid for by the Department of Energy), and $20 million for asteroid detection in service of a future manned asteroid mission, this represents a $268 million cut from planetary science funding levels approved by Congress for 2013, advocates said.
This was Obama's idea. There is no rational way to blame Republicans for this one.
But that doesn't mean you won't stop doing it.
Not true. The buildings native to these places are designed to maximize airflow and temperature.I thought you said you'd been to hot places?No. Un-air-conditioned offices are 80-90 degrees.Indeed. So why do you want to deny a bit of relief from the heat to our troops?
Un-air conditioned shelters, like those you want to see in Afghanistan, are HOTTER than outside temperatures.
To claim otherwise is asinine.
Yup, I called it:I guarantee you that if the Democrats take back the House in 2014, this will be scrapped.And this is where reality rears its ugly head.Either the money appropriated by the Republican House, or it's not.

Obama knows how to prioritize, also, and if he is going to have to choose between NASA in his budget and people getting food and shelter, he is not going to pick NASA.
But the president's budget is nothing but a starting point for negotiations with Congress. You should know that.
You you think this Republican House will fund NASA? Of course not. So why should Obama include it, knowing who he is dealing with?

This thread is yet another of a seemingly endless series of Synthia fail.
