Wheaties

This works by a process called resistive heating, whereby heat is generated through the friction created when an electrical current passes through any material that is not a superconductor. The hot air is then circulated in the container through a heat exchanger.

The sand can store heat at around 500C for several days to even months, providing a valuable store of cheaper energy during the winter. When needed, the battery discharges the hot air - warming water in the district heating network. Homes, offices and even the local swimming pool all benefit in Kankaanpää, for example.

that doesn't sound like it should work

I think the new deal policies that improved people's living and working conditions could still work without global dominance or racial exclusions. Weather or not the US or whatever succeeds it can be pushed to do that is another matter...

And I don't really think of chuds as outright fascists. They hold conservatives beliefs, but when you only look at their actions, they become indistinguishable from liberals (or any other broad group of americans). Yes, there's potential for them to be radicalized into fascism (and that's where a lot of the selective pressure currently is) but they're not necessarily there yet. It's why I'm pushing back against this "Round up the chuds!" narrative. People who actually hold and act on violent positions on race, sexuality, and/or gender are another matter altogether.

That's the grand irony of chuds; giving them what they want is exactly the sort of thing that exacerbates the stressors and raises the temperature on stochastic terrorism.

For the US specifically, try and get them to pin down when exactly we were "great" and they inevitably point to a time when New Deal policies were stronger, despite being vehemently against those policies.

bit of a "beatings continue until moral improves", isn't it? You don't fix terrorism by fighting terrorists, you fix terrorism by relieving the pressures that push people to terrorism.

I do gotta admit, I kinda respect him for when he said that as a communist you should have no compunction taking capitalists money when they offer it, because one day you will get to say, "Stupid capitalist, why did you give me that money?"*

gotta do whacha gotta do

the only thing its missing is

"I have not actually watched this Loony Tunes, but from only the cultural reaction to it I feel confident in my analysis of it."

damn, robjonrob69 is playing Jonathan Blow's The Witness in real life

Maybe the weirdest sign of getting old is being surprised by something only to realize barely a moment latter that, no, actually you recognize and remember it.

[Got a post, but feels like I should wait for the new mega]
