Oh I’m not talking about desalination of GSL. I’m talking about California doing desalination and not using the Colorado river for water anymore. If they stopped using water from the Colorado, there would be more water for Utah to take from

Here’s your daily reminder that desalination can provide as much water as we need. Nuclear power + desalination would solve all our water AND energy problems in a carbon-free way. Israel gets over 55% of their water from desalination. http

Exactly. Additionally, the US is NOT at war. Congress has the power to declare war and it has not done so. No civilian should be forced to help kill people and start wars on the other side of the globe if they don’t want to. The US governme

They are not only arguing in favor of neoclassical architecture, I have met plenty of people who believe that Bauhaus is the only standard of beauty and that every space should look and feel like an Apple Store.

Hopefully the turnaround is quick. Starship is literally sitting on the pad waiting for the bureaucrats to give the okay to launch. Presumably they have already addressed all the concerns in the doc that the article is talking about. https

n=3 for me. It's also "featured". And the featured one is an example of what I'm talking about.

"threesome" is an interesting one. Men are always black and the women are always white. I wonder where it learned that..

Really well done, this same narrative would also make a good Youtube video.

This is a fundamental change in a core value of western academia. For the entire history of academia in the US, open-mindedness and fostering debate has been central.

Wow that's insane. If China did that same thing today, we would be up in arms.

Decades of propaganda has lead to a large portion of the population believing that the world will end soon if climate change isn’t fixed.

California could solve their water problem if they wanted. Desalination is a proven technology that could alleviate all of California's problems. Israel gets over 50% of their water from it. https://www.scientificamerican.co

This is the link to the actual source: https://californiaforever.com/ This article, and its publisher, is garbage.

These models are notoriously bad, there were tons of predictions that California would be under water by now.

I am not saying that it has always been perfectly implemented, right leaning politicians have been guilty in myriad ways of censorship over the years. But the ideal that we define as a culture is what I stated, and if we all agree that&#x27

I disagree with the metaphor. In the past freedom of speech meant absolute free speech with a small blacklist of specific situations in which it would cause immediate, physical, danger to others. Everything else was okay, even if it hurts o

Whether you agree with it or not, the left broadly labels things it disagrees with as "racist" "bigoted", or anything "phobic". Anyone or anything attached with one of those labels, regardless of its veracity,

"Group of people kept track of public information" is not really a story, especially in the age of constant surveillance by the federal government on all of our private communications.

Well my point with the examples was not the ".78" part, it was the "7" vs "17". In your counter example, I would just round the imperial units to 5 feet 11 inches or 6 feet in everyday conversation. My point is

I get what you are saying and I’m not really disagreeing, but I would say that subjectively it’s a little easier to reason about single digits instead of double or triple digits for most normal people. Like saying “he is 6 feet tall” is sli

Pretty well done video, he sort of belabors the “imperial is so stupid and illogical” stuff. I think most people are aware of it already. Growing up in the US I have had so many teachers at every single layer of schooling launch into a spee
