I would immediately vote for this if they managed to get it on as a ballot initiative. Voting in a democracy is a right, not a privilege.

Otherwise known as: boomers wanting to downsize are making a whole bunch of cash with which to do it and are finally paying a fair portion of their net worth.

Asphalt is pretty amazing given the amount of wear it goes through. It’s basically infinitely recyclable, very flexible, goes down fast, and is relatively easy to work with.

It is entirely natural to want to not die. It’s pretty unfair to blame the victim (even a victim guilty of a terrible crime) for the suffering caused by a process they didn’t consent to.

Highly recommend meowwolf. I did the Vegas one on a work trip and it was a blast.

Observation is all we have. There’s no indication that anything outside the solar system is different from the things inside of it. Some stars have a light spectrum very similar to our sun, which implies they are stars in similar places in their life. Others have a light spectrum that is very different.

We can use different parallax angles to determine that some stars are much further away than others. Parallax works the same at 10 miles as it does at 10 light years.

Is there some particular observation you don’t understand?

People have actually become more unhinged: https://www.iata.org/en/pressroom/2023-releases/2023-06-04-02/

In my wood stove, at least, it would drip though into the ash catch, which is a much thinner metal than the cast iron stove body and not really meant to have something actively burning in it. Kerosene also likely burns hotter than wood.

So you’d have a too hot fire burning in all the wrong places in the stove, it might be ok and it might burn a hole through something and start a fire.

Aren’t traditional satellite providers download only via satellite and use phone line for upload?

Same process in the United States

There are quite a few creators who are primarily funded off patreon and release content to YouTube. I imagine a group like MCDM (Matt Colville) who has patreon, merch, crowdfunding, and products doesn’t really care about ad revenue.

On top of the many other reasons here, there’s also a pretty distinct difference between countries without a US extradition treaty and countries that won’t extradite to the US. Many countries without formal treaties will still happily hand over a US citizen trying to hide in their country. It might be a different story if he had dual citizenship somewhere but anywhere he tried to flee he’d be immigrating illegally.

A large portion of people on one side are looking to bring about a world ending apocalypse so they can be raptured. American evangelicals don’t care about the world, and are ideologically incapable of civil debate and compromise. When your side is god and the other side is the devil you can’t possibly meet in the middle.

What if she works hard and gets promoted?

The justice system will have actually succeeded in rehabilitating someone.

I’m the only one on my instance and I’m talking to you.

All renewable energy comes from the sun, which is a giant fusion reactor. Seems like it might be a good idea to study and understand the concept.

This is probably related to NY recently changing their rules regarding civil suits for sexual assault. The same change that prompted the Trump case.

I’m sure for a 17 year old in 2003, going after someone so wealthy and powerful seemed insurmountable. But the rule change seems to be allowing some victims to finally get some form of resitution.

Heat doesn’t really exist at an individual particle level, it only describes the average kinetic energy of a large number of particles. “Normal” evaporation occurs because all the water molecules are jiggling around fast enough that sometimes some get knocked off at the top and fly away. The theory from this paper says that light can strike a single water molecule just right that it breaks off without help from the others.

Saying this is “without heat” means that the light isn’t simply increasing the average kinetic energy at the top of the water and speeding up the rate of “normal” evaporation. They think it’s specifically acting on a single molecule at a time.

I host this instance just for myself. I use bans locally to curate my all feed. I don’t really need problematic people getting alerts about what I do.

It’s literally the same argument. A virus exists that disproportionately affects a group of people. That group is uninteresting to me so instead of just saying I don’t give a shit I call it a force of nature.

We are a little special because we can conceptualize how our actions will affect the spreas of a disease. A world leader is a little more special in that regard because they can enact policy to curb disease on a wide scale.

Having the knowledge and power to help and not doing anything is a moral failing. Blaming it on nature is covering that failing with nonsense.
