Instead they went with the stupidest and most cruel option. Make sure there’s no ventilation on the mask, and that it had a tight seal before turning on the gas. A gas they were treating like a deadly poison.
And since there was no ventilation at all, there was no gas flow. There was no oxygen displacement. Just the CO2 buildup.
A big part of it was scientific illiteracy. There was talk at the time about “protecting the prison officers from exposure to the gas”.
They were treating it like a poison.
Which adds stupidity to the malice.
Hydrogen fuel cells actually show quite a bit of promise. Mostly for large trucks. Batteries have a scaling issue. A battery powered 18-wheeler needs a much larger battery for a much shorter range.
Adding more load means you need more battery, and that larger battery is just more load that you need to haul.
This is sort of true with everything, but the important note is that a full battery and empty battery weigh the same.
Anyway. Commercial use is where it makes sense. There are actually a few other technologies that make sense in the commercial transportation space. Like ammonia.
Keeping these rather dangerous fuels commercial also allows for more strict safety standards.
It depends heavily on what sub you’re in for the mods and users,
But yes, the admin team is very right leaning.
I’ll say that I sort of despise Fairvote.
They lie about RCV pretty much all the time.
The system has more problems than First Past the Post, and still doesn’t fix the third party problem.
No, a far better system is STAR. It actually fixes the problems that it sets out to fix.
Being dominated in a consensual way, takes a sort of self awareness and acceptance of your own weaknesses.
Trump lacks any self awareness, and has likely never been part of consensual domination.
For this year at least, it’s too late to replace Trump on the ticket. Unless they replace Trump with Vance. That would comply with the rules. Sort of. Trump’s name would still be on the ticket. But Vance would take lead, and would pick a running mate.
There are two major factors that would keep this from becoming a reality. First is Trump will never step aside in favor of someone else.
Second is that Vance has negative charisma.
It actually is thanks to the permanent apportionment act of 1929.
The size of Congress needs to increase with the increase in population. But it’s been fixed at 435 for over 100 years even as the population has more than tripled and we’ve added two states.
Are those houses then listed as corporate rentals? Because that’s super common.
Republicans cannot replace Trump. He’s got the party by the balls. His daughter in law is the chair of the party.
He’s also funneling all donations to the party into his own pocket.
When Trump loses, the Republican party will implode under all the fraud. I’m all for it.
We don’t need an amendment. We just need to get rid of a few openly corrupt supreme court justices.
Because as has been shown, precedent can be ignored.
There was a write up from one of the writers who worked on the series.
This was written after he and most of the team left Valve.
Carter was pre-Reagan. This was before the neoliberals took over the Democratic Party.
Clinton mostly accepted Republican framing of the economy, that taxes on the rich need to be low for… Reasons.
The main argument of the neoliberals is that while conservatives are “right” about a bunch of their policies and shit, they’re just bad at running everything.
Carter was before that shit. Back when we said that conservative policy was heartless and evil.
Some in the Democratic Party are coming back to this simple idea.
It’s already happened once.
The Big Mike banana was super popular until the 1950s, when a fungal infection basically wiped them out. (they’re still grown in a few places, but are super susceptible to infection)
So, the banana growers switched over to the Cavendish banana. It was resistant to the fungus.
But the days of the Cavendish were always numbered because of how they’re grown. A seedless banana can only grow via cuttings. Which is how they’ve been grown since the beginning. Every single banana on the shelf at your local supermarket is genetically identical. They’ve been identical since the 50s, and the fungus has adapted to them. Worse still, the particular fungus that’s now attacking the Cavendish cultivar is extremely resistant to fungicides.
So yeah, without some sort of massive shift in genetic diversity, the Banana will no longer be a thing in Central America. Do note, that the banana is not a native plant in the Americas, and is cultivated widely in Southeast Asia. So yeah, the Banana will not go extinct, but it will vanish from American and European stores.
Lithium fires need to be doused in salt to put out. Or, technically you can put out a metal fire with gasoline.
You go from a class D fire to a class B fire, and then you can put that out as normal. But yeah, salt is better.
Water is the last thing you want to use on class D fires, followed by CO2. Both have the oxygen ripped off by the burning metal, making the fire burn hotter.
Just after Elden Ring came out, Musk tweeted out his build. Internet sleuths figured out he would have needed to play about 12 hours a day to have that build, and that it was kind of shit.
The scale is likely the Kinsey scale. A 0-6 scale of sexuality. Zero is completely straight and six is completely gay.
Most people find themselves somewhere in the middle, even if they don’t admit it.
I’m somewhere in the range of 1–1.5
I’m firmly attracted to the opposite gender, but might make an exception if the person had a personality that was super compatible with my own. But it’s not something I’m going to seek out.
It’s a legally gray area at best. Which is why ACT BLUE, the organization donated to, does not accept donations from people under 18.
And he likely also has a certain idea of who the criminals are.
