Yeah, to flip the switch now, all at once would be incredibly disruptive. But we knew this was going to happen over 40 years ago. Shit, all elected officials in the US had to do was follow the plan that Jimmy Carter laid out.

I also seriously question the numbers saying that tidal, solar, and wind power can’t provide enough to sustain the status quo. Yeah, powering a ship across the ocean can be hard… But you also have an essentially unlimited supply of wind and tidal power for a ship out on the ocean and quite a bit of solar power although it’s not as reliable.

I mean it may take a little bit longer for the overall journey but you could pause and just bob up and down in the ocean to recharge the batteries in a cargo ship or move the slower speed while you recharge. That’s not even exploring options like hybrid sail / battery powered ships

The entire concept of fracking is that you drill into a fissure, then blast it full of a dangerous chemical slurry so that it eventually forces natural gas out of the fissure. Then when all the natural gas is gone, they pack up and leave with their money. The chemical slurry stays in the ground forever, leaching into water tables, public waterways, potentially contaminating soil used for live stock and agriculture.

We literally have a visible ball of unlimited fusion energy in the fucking sky, and natural tides that can power tidal generators, but no, let’s just poison the shit out of everyone for a slightly better profit margin…

So another way to look at it is that by eliminating a few thousand parasites, we can reshape our political landscape…

Can we just take a moment to appreciate that they’re called Ass Ram missiles?

The main reason is that if we stop being the biggest shark in the tank, the next two biggest sharks (China and Russia) can’t be trusted to not feast on the smaller sharks. And if they do feast, they will become too large for the American shark to deal with.

Or things like gourds

The title alone sounds like some antivax bullshit.

I’ll be honest… Not very well. Pretty much squeeze my loofa at the top of my back so the suds run down, then rinse. No backne or any other issues though

So if we’re being real, a jet engine is basically a super high rpm propeller that’s enclosed in a cowling. If anything the stress it’s under makes it more prone to failure. I could see avoiding single prop aircraft, which for pretty much all passenger flights would be propeller driven. But honestly any aircraft would be fine for me provided it has an experienced human pilot and at least 2 engines.

It’s never going to stop until you’ve shown Putin what his insides look like.

Could be zinc, it potassium deficiency, also how big is your pot? Are the roots getting crowded? May need to repot. Also could be too close to the light

Also, if you’re growing in dirt, look into getting a 5 gallon bucket hydroponic setup. Super cheap and easy, just make sure your pump stays going 24/7

Good

Short answer, without trying to use political adversaries to try and provoke an unfounded fear response, no they absolutely can’t. Their entire ideology is that government is out of control, it takes too much, spends too much, and doesn’t give enough. But then the first thing they do when they gain power is entrench government power, control, and overreach, while they simultaneously strip citizens of their rights, and means to acquire enough wealth to make significant changes and contributions from a financial perspective.

If you want the TLDR, conservatives hate our government, and by extension, our country. unless they, and only they can wield it’s power to the full extent, and gain all of its benefits, at the expense of people they disagree with, or view as ‘less’ than them. When they cannot do that, they will claim that the government takes too much, and has no accountability, and exceeds its means. When they are in control however, their only concern is that the ‘bad people’ are trying to constrain their power, and force accountability.

They exist because they create a political environment that’s dysfunctional, blame the other side for the dysfunction, then Everytime they gain power, they entrench bullshit that will further perpetuate political and societal dysfunction.

Wait, so are you now arguing that only binary options exist?

I never actually criticized people for supporting trans rights. I just pointed out that the topic can be divisive in American culture, and that is someone wanted to sow division, an easy way to do it would be to talk too much about that one very narrow topic, when we should be focusing on broader cooperative efforts at the moment. It doesn’t mean trans people deserve any more or less than anyone else.

You must be an active mod on one of the tankie instances with that kind of thinking.

Everyone is a piece of shit in their own respect. It’s our jobs to find common ground in spite of that

When you define anything that involves trans people and something you don’t agree with as transphobic then you’re not going to be able to take three steps out of your door in the morning without encountering something transphobic.

Everyone deserves basic human rights and the dignity that comes with them. And someone can feel like they are whatever they think they are, absolutely fine. And others may fundamentally disagree with what you think, which is also completely fine.

The fact of the matter is that the majority of the people in the world, don’t give a shit what bathroom someone uses, or what an adult decides to believe or do with their own body. They never did. So by putting such focus on an issue that impacts hardly anyone directly, one which many people fundamentally disagree with, you’re just making more division.

everyone in the country had their civil rights suspended, so try and think a bit larger than just one microcosm.

I pointed out that constantly posting about ‘trans rights’ was just a way sow division with a topic that directly impacts a very small portion of the population, but gaslights a large portion of the remainder. Got banned.

It depends on where you are. I just drove thru a college campus the other day for the first time in years, and for it being one of the first really nice days, I have to say the student body was… Underwhelming

My issue is typically also with Android Auto. The sound fidelity, especially low end, is much better with a good cable, and when the cable starts to go bad it will default to just Bluetooth for audio which is noticable
