It’s interesting watching the discussion in this thread evolving and polarizing. Yesterday the discussion started as ‘nuclear is one solution in a portfolio of solutions to combat climate change. vs. nuclear is always bad.’ and developed into ‘nuclear is good and you’re dumb. vs. nuclear is bad and you’re evil’.
It’s really easy actually, the difficult part is cooking them.
Hard to say, I’ve never seen a heat affected zone look like that. I also haven’t foraged a sword.
Scientist are stupid removed because they’re liars, Sometimes. Gravity is a complete scam! Ask a scientist, any scientist to explain gravity to you. They can’t. Newton thought he could, but then Einstein came and proved he was a liar and a little removed. Einstein thought he could, but then some other scientist proved he was a liar and a removed. So how do we know they’re all not lieing removed. /S
I’m not a financial expert, so someone who is please step in and correct anything that I say is wrong. I need to learn too.
It’s because the government’s debt is also a surplus. Government debt isn’t like personal debt because the government debt is mostly through selling bonds that the government issues. Most of that debt is owned by American citizens, in one way or another, who buy those bonds. Most of that $34 trillion is money the government owes it’s people, or at least the Americans who hold those bonds.
It’s not really money you owe but it’s money that is owed to you. Well actually the billionaire class who can actually afford to buy these bonds but hey, that’s Capitalism baby.
Canada couldn’t afford it, their monopoly money is worth almost nothing.
Playing our hidden games on the school’s network. Good times. Back then if you knew a few lines of code you could give your session administrator privileges. That was when internet security existed because so few people knew how to use a computer, let alone a local network or the internet. An entire computer lab playing against another entire computer lab in whatever those games were called. The most popular was light cycles, an open source Tron clone.
It really reminds me of all those static and velocity pressure calculations I had to do in undergrad, until I got the degree.
I’ve thought about this for a while to be sure I’m not just being reactive. I wouldn’t ask you to stop, in fact I encourage you to post more. I can’t find the time to write such well written replies. Your post is the type of content I like to see and I’m sure others do too.
I’m giving you an unsolicited critique of your comments. If you intend to communicate with laymen about scientific concepts from my experience you’re going to have a lot more success approaching it as if you’re a supportive teacher rather than trying to prove someone wrong. If you try to be more like Ms. Frizzle than Sheldon Cooper you might reach more people, which is the ultimate goal of communicating science to laymen.
You are actually very good at it, and I encourage you to practice and find what works and what doesn’t. Proving someone wrong just makes them defensive, teaching someone or communicating with the public shouldn’t make them feel the need to be defensive.
The pot said to the kettle. Your reply to this thread is much better presented, you how to communicate science. I think you need to think a bit more about your audience. Lemmy isn’t an academic institution, it’s removed posts all the way down.
Give it a few more months and ads will be back. They dropped us in boiling water and expected us to just accept it. Microsoft will just slowly boil us next time.
I would too if I had to teach people’s snot nosed kids all day then get harassed all evening by their parents calling me a groomer. The students hate you, the parents hate you, the school board hands down ridiculous requirements without any of the resources required to fulfill that, and everyone blames you for things you have absolutely no control over. Your benefits have been slashed, your pay is laughable, but you’re going to feel fulfilment in your work. Right? If I was a public teacher I’d drink too.
While that is generally the rule, I found this one to be the exception. There are a few things New York city is known for, let alone every other major city in the world.
Those same farmers I was talking about before have absolutely put down their own animals. They’ve shot their dogs when they’re old and it’s time. One family in particular let their cats “rejoin with nature” aka, just leaving it outside until a predator gets it. I think that’s crewl but I can accept those cats are farm cats, not house cats and had lived ‘in nature’ their whole lives. I’ve even heard about culling day when they plan to shoot the less useful animals. They get the right ammo, carts, make plans for what they will do with the carcass.
What they don’t do is shoot a young dog because it’s not what they hate it, then follow up with shooting a goat too and are pleased with themselves. That’s a bright red flag for anti-social or psychopathic behavior, I can never remember which is which. The farmers I know see culling their livestock as a task or a burden, but I’ve never heard a farmer tell me they take pleasure from it like Governor Noem did in her book. Unprompted I must add.
Someone with one brain cell and a shred of morality would re-home the dog first. At least try too. Growing up near farmers it wasn’t uncommon for them to give someone else a dog when that dog was a bad farm dog but could be a family dog. I’ve known farmers and they don’t act like Governor Noem.
This guy here is like, guilty your honor. Like, he talks like a total removed. (Great movie)
I never thought of it like that, well written.
