Just piss on rep. Mace’s desk instead. Problem solved.

Pretty sure it’s 100% efficient (100% energy consumed is emitted as heat) meaning it’s exactly as efficient as a space heater. Only way to get more efficient is a heat pump.

Finnish people are fucking crazy (non-derogatory)

Wish it was mastodon; this feels like kicking the can down the road rather than actually solving any problems. Whatever, it’s still better than twitter

I’m not sure how much these endorsements actually matter… Lord knows Liz Cheney’s endorsing Kamala didn’t tip the scales.

Would establishment libs support a leftist? Maybe not. But that doesn’t mean that voters would necessarily follow suit.

Probably. People tend to vote for their team - regardless of the actual underlying policy

No promises, though.

Short of congress changing the law or a successful coup, neither of which are necessarily off the table, yes these next four years will be Trump’s last in office. Who knows what either party will have to offer in 2028.

I suspect they’re privately owned and chartered by the state. You’d get (and I assume lose) lawsuits over it.

If I get to keep my memories and personality from now… Maybe.

It would trivialize most of the coursework and I’d be a lot more confident in general… But

It would be difficult to be an adult trapped in a child’s body. People would notice how much of a complete weirdo you are. I think at most I’d go back to my freshman year of college.

I’m no expert, but I would guess a constitutional crisis and then bad stuff (i.e. nobody knows, it’s not supposed to happen).

Conceivably there could be military intervention; the national guard was called to intervene after many schools refused to comply with the ruling of Brown v. Board of Education.

From December 18 to January 1, Today in Energy will feature some of our favorite articles from 2023. Today’s article was originally published on August 1.

It’s been online for several months.

I love how half this thread is solely comments making unit conversions.

Also 77°F/25°C is pretty mild. A crisp mid-spring day. -American Southerner

Depends entirely on where you live. Surprising what people will accept as normal when their gas/electric bill is on the line.

Why not? Most people only meaningfully engage with temperature scales when checking weather forecasts. It’s all pretty subjective.

If course there’s a need for Celsius or Kelvin in scientific applications, but that’s not for the overwhelming majority of people.

There are many people (particularly in northern regions) who would consider 50° to be quite mild/pleasant

Isn’t basing a temperature scale on the freezing and boiling points of water a bit arbitrary in and of itself?

The reason they are arbitrary numbers in Fahrenheit is because they weren’t considerations when the scale was made.

Or to stop doing business in Japan entirely

They’re pointing out how obviously ridiculous the court’s claim is. There’s no room or need for an intelligent rebuttal because the Michigan Sup. Court’s opinion was not intelligently made.

It’s probably just the code without any assets (textures, 3d models, etc.). Code really doesn’t take much space. You’d have a hard time actually building it to something playable as is, but this is still useful to modders.

Voters, hopefully.

If not them, then no.
