Crime statistics plainly show that the immigrant community is objectively one of the least likely groups to commit any crime, let alone violent crimes.

The vast majority of immigrants fear any interaction with police that could jeopardize their path to citizenship, even before trump took office and made everything way worse. These people just want to work and go home to their families. They’re unfortunately a perfect target for fascists like Trump because they are under represented, decent people who aren’t likely to fight back at first. Remember that fascism requires a nebulous “enemy” to rally people towards. You need a group that is simultaneously “evil” and capable of great harm to the government and people, but also easily handled by “security” measures. This allows the dictator to convince the public that all these sweeping powers that are being demanded are for their own safety. And unfortunately the vast majority of people just believe the first thing they hear, and we end up in this situation.

Probably buy RD-180 tech package or just the engines from the Russians.

The RD-180 is one of the most robust and reliable rocket engines ever made. Slap that baby on the bottom of a couple fuel and oxidizer tanks, and you can reach just about anywhere in the world in 30 minutes or less. The North Koreans stole the plans for it and now they have ICBMs, the Iranians could do something similar.

The selection of produce is already getting worse, and has been for months.

In a year we’re going to be in a famine because of this nonsense.

Stock up now while you can still get semi-affordable foods. I started gardening even though I’ve never done it before.

The average global temperature has been rising steadily with greenhouse gas emissions, for over 50 years, but sure we’ll just ignore that and say it’s impossible to know.

We only have the one planet, sometimes you can’t get multiple data sets. But you can certainly study the things that are happening and make predictions based on that.

You’re right, it’s a nazi problem.

Buildings used to belong to an Aryan Nations gang. Guess a nazi got butthurt that their buildings are now being used to train actually useful members of society.

“It’s hard to link changes in climate to climate change”

Is the author stupid?

Let me address your concerns.

Leaving their hand and going into mine is about as instant as it gets.

Excel and open source equivalents exists.

Buy a safe and keep your damn mouth shut.

Don’t be a criminal, or don’t do 2 crimes at once.

Production cost is irrelevant to how fast the currency goes from person to person.

Any currency will have a lag for economic stimulus. That’s not a currency issue it’s a human emotion and thought issue.

I can go to the next state and pull out a thousand dollars in cash, come back, pay for my stuff, and now it is practically impossible to tell who has what bill, when they got it, what it was used for, or anything else about it after it left the bank. Your mechanic and grocery store don’t catalog the serial number on every bill they get for every transaction.

Cash is instant. It leaves their hand and goes into mine.

Well it’s been like 5 months and we’re already here, so maybe another 6 months to a year?

At what point in arresting a 6 year old should a normal person realize they’re doing something wrong?

That’s but how math works, doesn’t matter if you use the American or metric formula

It’s just as likely that they accidentally dropped an entire functional refinery.

How did you hear negative chirps?

Can I learn this power?

If it is UL listed, and installed properly: yes.

Installed properly means that the wire feeding it is sized properly and all connections are torqued to spec.

If listed receptacles weren’t designed for use at their rated amperage, then there’s no point of getting it tested and listed by an independent laboratory, and there would be many more electrical fires in factories than there are.

The problem is that most people will just slap the absolute cheapest shit they can find together however they feel.

Nothing a jumper wire can’t fix

That what I’ve told all my girlfriends. They’ve all said I have beautiful eyelashes and they want to know if I do anything to them.

I have literally never touched an eyelash besides wiping one out of my eye.

When I had shoulder length hair, I washed it with head and shoulders every other day and never got split ends.

Now some of that is probably genetics, but also I do think that so many beauty products that women are sold is designed to keep them buying shit to “fix” things that their body will eventually fix on its own. Humans didn’t evolve washing their hair with 3 different soaps every day. Hair just kind of takes care of itself, and the only thing that might need fixing is dandruff.

Or, and hear me out, make a list.

My wife shops like you, and it drives me fucking nuts.

I make a list organized by type of food. Bread and pasta are often close to each other in stores. Canned fruits are all in the same aisle. Produce is all together. What ever we need from each section is organized. I can buy food for both of us for a week in 45 minutes, and that includes waiting in the line.

My wife has the compulsion to look at everything, regardless of the list we made. She also has ADHD and time blindness, and will not acknowledge that we cannot go to 5 different stores and shop her way at each one, and go home and make dinner, and play a game together, and do chores. I love her to death but sometimes it can be exhausting.

The safety is built in.

A 50 amp circuit should only be loaded to 80% of its rated load for continuous use (the NEC defines this as anything longer than 3 hours). So 50X0.8=40A is safe to draw for longer than 3 hours. The 20% buffer is there to account for load increases like the inrush current from a dryer heating element kicking on and off, or the motor starting and stopping.

Any receptacle rated for a 50 Amp circuit will also meet this requirement if installed properly. If you’re doing this shit, but a fucking torque wrench, because this shit does have torque requirements.

How does it feel to be objectively wrong?

I have a golden retriever puppy, a Labrador, and 2 cats.

When I hear loud unexpected noises, I wait until I’m mentally prepared for seeing whatever they fucked up. Sometimes that means it will wait for an hour or more if I didn’t hear any glass. The puppy is getting better at not rough housing inside, but she’s still very young and energetic.

My house could be haunted as shit and I’d still blame the animals. Anyone who immediately thinks “Ghost!” Or “Robber!” Clearly has never owned pets.
