Manifest Destiny is pretty much that. The US fought Mexico, Spain, and British Canada, exploited the political situation in Europe to buy a huge chunk of land from France, and displaced or killed hundreds of thousands of native people. The US is the 4th largest country by area. Having that much contiguous land is insanely valuable and powerful. By the time the US would have even had to think about colonizing like the Europeans it was going out of style.

But also mate which is hot, caffeinated, leaf juice, is a-ok and totally not tea.

I tried for a while fighting in my local facebook groups, but it just served to make me mad and didn’t put a dent in the constant barrage of nonsense. I started blocking them all and finally just stopped using facebook entirely.

It’s sad since those are really the only online groups for my town. I just have no interest in engaging in the local community now.

It’s a form of parasocial relationship. It can trigger the same feelings as if you were in a room with some friends chatting. You get to “know” the people’s personalities, you can anticipate their reactions to things, you get invested in their personal relationships.

The helicopter example sounds like it would make for a great What If?. There’s so many good things in there I want answered.

The prime minister went to the scene to talk to reporters, they certainly seem to consider it a big deal.

They sold laptops with this feature at one time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5M0TwnkWUM&list=PLec1d3OBbZ8IBeFODHXLy0m0okuZhqJnT

And if you overthrew the ruling class, you’d still want to know how the new system was affecting various demographics. All systems have biases and the only way to account for them is to know about them.

These types of figures are still important to know. You want to see if certain populations are being affected disproportionately and have a baseline to work from when seeing how policy changes are working.

If you make a policy change and see recovery overall but you’re still getting 52% of Latinos reporting insecurity, you’ve done something wrong and you have data to back it up.

However, if butter is left out at room temperature for several days, the flavor can turn rancid so it’s best to leave out whatever you can use within a day or two.

Assholes think everyone is ignoring them because they don’t mince words, but actually everyone ignores them because they’re not as smart as they think they are.

I don’t see it as hypocritical at all. Public comments are, for me at least, put out for the public good. The same reason someone might license open source code with the MIT license. My issue with Reddit is that they restricted who can obtain the data and then privately sold them to only the highest bidder. They should be freely available to all who want to view them without restrictions on money or power.

Apparently they weren’t redundant if you needed them to make the expansion…

Even better, a community ground source heat pump. It can be impractical for a single household to invest in drilling deep wells or digging up a whole yard, but a community together could do so and get serious efficiency improvements from it.

A fire? At a Sea Parks?

In the US we generally use fiberglass to mean both. But specifying glass wool would be more clear tbh.
