  - The benefits are - Reagen May 10, 12:09
  - It is easier to get people to pay for their own little plants than to get them to collective agree to fund the one big one -- nm - JD May 10, 12:06 1
    - You could also argue the opposite, it's easier to get people behind a project when they don't really have to sign the check themselves - Guigue May 10, 12:08
- Of course, it's the cost of a roof and a solar system, not just a solar system. - Reagen May 10, 12:02 1

“atrocities” -- (link) - mud May 10, 11:18 4

  - It would be significant if a man was breastfeeding. -- nm - jnine May 10, 11:04

- Did he know who Kissinger before an aide whispered in his ear before the Scrum? -- nm - Archer May 10, 10:51
Do you think Trump ever played chess (hell, or checkers)? He doesn't seem to grasp that every move will mean the opposition moves in response. -- nm - Andie May 10, 10:42 8

  - Nobody knew that being president was so complicated. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 May 10, 11:12

- unfortunately, all this talk about what Dwayne thinks doesn't mention what Alexandra thinks -- nm - crash davis May 10, 10:41 2
  - Vice President obviously. - ty97 May 10, 10:42 1

Judge Dredd: Mega-City One TV series 'in development' -- (link) - LMS May 10, 10:10 4

        I avoid all the cartoons. Perhaps including this one. -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 10:23 3
