To your point, Ukraine lacks resources for both Ice cream and bbbrrrrrtttt.

They are fighting for their freedom.

If the USAF doesn’t want to deal with the A-10s supply chain, there’s a good chance Ukraine doesn’t either.

The only thing that keeps the A-10 flying is Congressional mandates from a few jobs-oriented congressmen.

Billie is no Jenna Coleman, but she’s still cute.

I took several post-grad classes in theology from a college affiliated with a specific denomination.

What are your hobbies, OP?

Start a car detailing business. Use the water to wash the cars.

Use the money from new, low-overhead business to do anything you want.

Malta, then *poof*

Windows is not a serious OS anymore.

Simply mentioning china or any ethnicity at all is seen as racism to them because grounding reality in anything other than communist propaganda is seen as a threat.

Marx encouraged fascist dictatorships as a method to bring about the proletariat revolution.

And this is why dictators love the, “give me just a little more power and once it’s secured I’ll hand it all back to the people, pinky swear” schtick.

You can’t just rant about java.

You have to pick a timeslot, get at least 5 signups, get a building assignment, get department signoff from the department head, write a syllabus, assign a TA…

Thats right, even a rant about java has to be a class.

I disagree that the culture currents have changed that fast.

If the economy recovered and gave much better prospects for young people and housing was cheaper, they’d still be expected to move out on their own.

I think people understand the realities of our current situation, but usually multigenerational housing is still not considered an ideal situation.

I assume you are American, and probably not Hispanic?

Because these assumptions are extremely cultural.

Anyways, for white Americans “Self-sufficiency” (or Self-reliance as Ralph Waldo Emmerson called an extreme version of it) is an old Puritan value, like hardwork and lifelong monogamy.

Every conspiracy theory comes back to covering for oil money and the political party they run (Republicans).

Watergate proven to happen? “Yeah, but aliens…” worked so well to distract and muddle the public that Reagan was elected in another landslide six years later.

Measuring dry ingredients by volume is about as accurate as most kitchen scales, lol.

Honest question, have you ever measured anything for cooking?

You really can’t measure solids in the liquid cup and you can’t really measure liquids in the solid cups.

On-demand (or surge) power generation like this is much different then base power generation like you get from solar, wind or nuclear (or theoretically fusion).

Long story short, any functional power grid needs both because generation has to match demand, and demand is uneven and wonky.

The most common surge power source is small natural gas plants. This is a replacement for those.

It presumes there will be extra electricity.

There’s always extra electricity. Eg. Solar generates power during the day, charges this “battery” and then powers lighting at night when demand is higher and people need to be able to see.

Macbook? Chromebook?

Honestly, anything is better than Windows. But don’t switch to Linux unless you are actually interested in Linux.

Longtime Linux user, here…

Gish is a transcendental album that created the genre that dominated the next 20 years: alternative rock.

Everything after Gish might have been more popular or well known, but none of it will ever approach being as influential.
