Yeah very interesting how Euros get real fucking pissed when I point out that the far right party is primed to win the next election over their useless neoliberal party that is currently running their country into the ground. It’s happening in the UK, it is happening in France, it’s happening in Germany, and it’s already happened in Italy.
I don’t know how you can give them any benefit of the doubt when they combined the dog whistle symbols with the actual SS symbols.
I remember listening to a Bowling For Soup album a few years ago and every other song was basically “I hate my girlfriend, but I stay with her so people don’t think I’m gay” and I suddenly understood why they were a one hit winder
The difference is that the US has almost no manufacturing capabilities anymore.
China has some brutal winters and they have been continuously been one of the largest civilizations throughout all of history
I mean, the first successful communist revolution happened in a country famous for it’s brutal winters.
The whole student loan system is about to collapse. Almost no one can repay them, and sure they don’t go away in bankruptcy, but the millions of people in default have no assets, other debts, and the wage garnishments are not equivalent to their required monthly payments.
Dark matter just makes voids more isolated from each other. Our void is still within the greater Laniakea Supercluster, but our immediate area is very sparse. The only galactic merger that the Milky Way will experience is with Andromeda in 1.5 billion years, and maybe with Traingulum a bit after. But there will be a ton happening in the Virgo Cluster next door as those galaxies are all close enough to each other that gravity is the predominant force in the region. But the galaxies in the middle of the cluster will gather towards their gravitational center, while the galaxies at the periphery of the cluster will form a “shell” of sorts. Voids are just the bubbles that remain from the gathering of clusters.
I had TouchTunes demanding that I do age verification last week. How would that ever even be necessary that I have to verify my age just to play music at a bar? Immediately deleted the app and found it funny when the bartender said she just had her phone hooked up to the speakers anyway.
Also beef, coffee, and mining are the 3 main reasons that Brazil has rampant deforestation in the first place.
What’s brilliant about this meme is you have both ends of Ohio covered. Cincinnati down south and Cedar Point on the lake.
In astronomy, Galaxy clusters are just areas where the density of galaxies is above average and voids are areas where the density is below average. Galaxies attract each other, so the material for Galaxy clusters has to come from somewhere, and that somewhere is voids.
The electorate don’t know shit. They just know when someone is offering an actual change (doesn’t matter what change) that will punish someone. Far Right parties say that minorities are taking everything and they will be punished. “Left” parties like Labour (UK/Aus), Liberals (Can) or the Dems have been saying everything is fine and refuse to control billionaires and corporations and just handwave away the material concerns of the voters.
Why would these companies lower their token costs knowing that all these Fortune 500 companies are run by morons who just fired all their staff? That’s like saying telephone calls would get cheaper once we replaced all the telegraph lines
That’s still resources they could have spent doing actually useful shit. Instead they are burning billions a quarter on something that is absolutely useless.
Any app that you are using to track your medical information is 100% saving that data and selling it off. I don’t know why people are shocked to discover this.
The barges were just a little less than a few meters wide. The manpower to build a 100km long canal that is 2.5-3 meters wide is substantially less than what it takes to dig one 8 meters wide in the era before steam shovels.
Seeing as 96% of Canadian oil exports go to the US because no one else wants bitumen since it is the lowest quality oil and is a giant pain in the ass to refine. India and China have some capacity to refine it, but the current oil crisis is pushing those countries to find suitable replacements so they don’t have to rely on foreign affairs to keep the lights on. It will take a decade to get the infrastructure in place to get any meaningful amount of bitumen from Alberta to across the Pacific. This is just throwing whatever left remains in the Liberal party under the buss to placate Alberta oil companies.
Not really. Most of these old canals were only a couple yards/meters wide and dried up 100 years ago.
We all know how much the US military loves to crash helicopters into other flying vehicles over bodies of water
