To me it seemed like the Democrats changed, not the blue collar workers. A lot of it is race, Democrats started essentially calling all White people racist, i.e. blaming all white people for generational racism. Tons of people who were not

And Republicans used to have way more college educated. Both parties seem to have swapped some people.

I listen to both NPR and Fox news summary every day, and both of them are virtually identical in how they cover things. Every once in a while you'll hear a slant in how they will frame something, like the context or who they chose to q

We should sanction China, and the US is considering it: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/08/yellen-us-ready-to-sanction-... It will be painful though, people in the US enjoy the low prices of goods from China.

Actually wood is stronger in tensile: "tensile strength of soft- woods parallel to grain at 12% moisture content generally ranges between 70 to 140MPa. The compression strength is lower and is usually in the range 30 to 60 MPa." S

Quoting Wikipedia doesn't actually change the nature of the chemical at hand. Would it help if I edited Wikipedia to clarify things? PTFE is inert, it is not chemically active like a PFAS. The fact that it has a related chemical struct

by ars 3y ago
That's not true. Teflon is not a PFAS because it's missing the "tail" that makes it active. Teflon's predecessor PFOA is a PFAS, but there's not normally any remaining in the final produce. There is a valid con

The distance doesn't matter, the additional cable would be at the same voltage as the one adjacent to it.

Possibly a stupid question, but is it possible to add a new wire in addition to the old one, on the same holder? Are wires that heavy that the structure that holds them is always maxed out?

You'd be surprised. A lot of programmers want complex tools because they are more interesting. They also tend to write unnecessarily complex code. For example instead of just doing something there are multiple levels of indirection and

Yes, reddit would be limited, unless they made a mode that ordered submissions and conversions chronologically and removed all voting. Forums have existed before reddit that didn't have those things, and those forums worked just fine -

And that's why people look down on it - it's the same as how movie reviewers don't like regular movies, or book reviewers only like complex barely-readable books. The simple stuff is just too boring once you are an expert in

One way this happened is that schools are including all sorts of useless, but expensive, frivolities. Why do school have ultra fancy sports areas? Why do they need 15 different restaurants? Go visit a college - they are basically little res

This is why I'm so against the government forgiving education loans. All that will happen is the money will go to colleges, and they'll raise tuition. Instead put the schools on the hook for the loans - if someone doesn't pay

It's not the stolen identity that's the issue - it's the real person who actually has that identity. If he had stolen an identity from someone dead we'd probably all just kinda shrug.

I would be much more OK with what he did (at some point the stolen identity IS his identity), but not when there's a living person who also has that identity!!

It's the age old debate: Do people change? I think that most people do not. Teenagers get calmer when they get older, so I can accept ignoring minor misdeeds that can be attributed to not thinking, but not anything more serious. You se

Theoretically possible, sure, but the range is only around 10 feet, so you would need a receiver on the side of the lane you want to track. Possibly to do in a single area, impractical to deploy widely. Your EzPass has better range, and is

I replied to this. The bad weather, etc, amounts to an 11% reduction in crop. Cocoa is very elastic, so an 11% reduction in crop should not lead to a 300% increase in prices. The normal thing instead would for people to eat less chocolate u

Very cute. But my point is I believe the prices changes are driven by speculation, and not caused by supply fundamentals.

I have a hard time believing that cocoa is so in-elastic that an 11% drop in supply translates to a 300% increase in price. Cocoa is a treat, with prices that high demand should plummet.
