How am I supposed to compete with forehead teeth? Forever alone.

Putting small children to work in stores is shameful.

Weird science.

You don’t even have to know what he looks like to see it’s not him in the photo. You just have to know he’s over 90.

Returning to this thread long after everyone has moved on.

How do you get enough net energy out of mixing brine from desalination with fresh water to use to separate saltwater into brine and fresh water? Especially when the energy producing method is already known to have poor efficiency?

This seems like this is just terrible at converting treated wastewater into drinking water. Must have something to do with government subsidies instead.

This seems like a terrible use, since these plants work by mixing fresh water with seawater (or in this case the brine leftover from desalination). I guess the catch is they can use treated wastewater instead of potable water.

This method gains very little net energy compared to other renewables.

“While energy is released when the salt water is mixed with fresh water, a lot of energy is lost in pumping the two streams into the power plant and from the frictional loss across the membranes. This means that the net energy that can be gained is small,” said Kentish.

This is a tangent, but I’m curious how many people who uncritically supported Kennedy’s environmental efforts are rethinking the accuracy of his claims based on what they know is wrong about his public health claims.

What’s the difference between evil pharma pushing deadly vaccines and evil chemical companies polluting our environment? There are historically proven incidents of both (if we expand vaccine to medical treatments in general), but how many of the specific cases he made against companies were contrived bullshit pushed by cranks? Take fluoridation for a less controversial example among educated people.

As long as the drones are fully autonomous but still use WiFi with the factory default password, it should be OK.

Ah, yes. Ask Grok to come up with a secure password that only you and everyone else know.

Nurse: I’m torn between feeling very sorry for you and finding you terribly attractive.

When something is too “on the nose,” for example, it’s written in exactly the way that would induce the most cheering and virality because it appeals so much to one group of people, it’s worth considering it may have been written to provoke exactly that reaction.

A mole of moles would wipe out insects in the area, but also make it dangerous to walk anywhere off of pavement.

It’s a completely different sentiment. For one thing, it’s actually doing something that impacts Meta’s bottom line.

It’s not a “leak” when state-run media makes public a video they have in their possession and aligns with the desires of the government.

Yeah, I agree. But the article linked failed to cite any part of the ruling which would make it a crime to burn the flag. In fact, discrimination itself is not a crime until it involves some kind of business relationship.

I shouldn’t have to download and read the whole ruling to see if the claim made in the article is supported. If they’re going to quote the judge, they should take quotes that substantiate their conclusion.

Did anyone read the article?

First, Quds News Network? That’s who I go to when I want to read about NY judge rulings. A more comprehensive article which also worries about the ruling is this one.

Second:

Purposefully yanking on an Israeli flag tied around a Jewish person’s neck is direct evidence of racial discrimination,” McFadden wrote.

Your free speech and ability to burn the Israeli flag is intact. Maybe keep your hands off other people, though.

You guys are the heroes we don’t deserve nor need.

They’re very different. I’ve been in both.

I think we should normalize saying scandalous shit without the /s and letting people hit us with a few “did you justs” before we have to actually specify that we’re kidding

I just assume some get the joke but hate the Democrats enough to downvote me for only dissing them satirically.

Just look at the replies that essentially agree with the both sides mentality.
