Fuck those type of people. Not much worse than the people who think they’re better than everyone else, yet objectively are shit.

After learning about the chef, it becomes impossible to not see him anymore when looking at the states.

I’ve never heard of Hydro power boiling water. Usually hydro power is natural or pumped storage.

You’re just taking water from an upper reservoir and dropping it to a downstream river. Either a naturally-filled reservoir/lake, or a pumped storage reservoir where you use other cheap power during low usage periods to pump that water to a higher reservoir to utilize later. The pump doesn’t heat the water, it just moves it uphill to utilize later, like the Taum Sauk Hydroelectric Power Station in Missouri.

Nearly all power generation comes down to boiling water to steam which spins a turbine.

I can only think of two common exceptions off the top of my head. Solar is an exception and Hydro power is an exception ironically, that usually uses the vertical difference and gravity to spin the turbine.

And then you’re stuck constantly reminding every family member which app to use on which device when they come to you because they’re getting ads or something isn’t working right.

For a single power use that’s fine, for a family with kids, it’s nearly impossible without going crazy and killing them.

Just needs a Pyramid Head cosplayer in the distance.

Huh, wonder why I thought they came back already on a Dragon.

Nah we’ve had astronauts in space much longer than they were. This is something different.

The only thing I can think of is some issue with differences or incompatibilities between the Starliner suits and the Dragon capsule that either weren’t accounted for or more likely had no alternative given the situation.

Astronaut suits are custom made for each individual, and each manufacturer has their own system. They accomplish the same task, but in slightly different ways.

SpaceX will for sure be exempt. Justification will probably be national defense, which is a decent justification to be honest.

Tesla, probably lumped in there because there is a lot of cross-work between Tesla and SpaceX with battery tech, electric motors, engineering, etc.

It won’t affect them at all.

The simple fact is a LOT of Americans don’t have the time to do real research. They are entirely reliant on media to break down the complex issues into small chunks. And we know that no longer exists.

Do we expect someone that has to work 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet now and an hour or two helping their children with homework, to also spend hours researching current events and political stances beyond what they can get in 30 or 60 minutes from the TV before they have to go to bed and do it all over tomorrow?

With a regular drip coffee maker, a lot of people prep it before bed. Take a couple minutes to put the filter, coffee grounds, and water in the tank and set the timer so it is ready to go when they walk into the kitchen in the morning. Saves a couple minutes in the morning and can get that caffeine addiction hit right out the gate.

Whatever happened to that Wu Tang album? I remember reading it was sold to cover debt and the buyer planned for a wider release but never saw any update anywhere.

And something about Shkreli livestreaming it at some point and a lawsuit about that.

America officially switched to the metric system decades ago. We just don’t use it on a daily basis, but officially the US is metric.

In 1988 Congress passed the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act, which made the metric system the preferred system of weights and measures for U.S. trade and commerce.

In 1991 President Bush issued Executive Order 12770, which mandated the transition to metric measurement for all federal agencies.

It can scream into the void for as long as it wants.
