I’m thinking that double checking is slightly faster than doing the research yourself.

As opposed to Google searching manually, which always has accurate outputs and never outputs falsehoods as fact. 🙂

As long as you double check the source of an answer I don’t see an issue.

Count me in that 30%

Russia’s invasion was wrong, but it goes back to the Euromaiden government upheaval and that should be considered. Russia isn’t just a crazy warband of orcs that wanted to restart the Tsar’s empire for no reason. What’s brainwashed about that?

A bunch of other countries, like China, which had 75% of people polled stating that the Russia/Ukraine conflict was good for China.

It kinda is in some ways because it’s basically left China as Russia’s only option for a lot of import/export, so China gets a ton of leverage in determining prices. It’s also solidifying China as a regional hegemon and opens up a lot of opportunities for China diplomatically.

I wouldn’t go as far as to say the conflict is good, but there are benefits and it’s not as simple as “people are brainwashed”

It won’t (my personal totally empty prediction). To get humidity in larger scale it means getting air flow. Air flow in sufficient numbers doesn’t come out of no where. Usually with this kind of stuff one quickly finds one needs just insane amount of flow to scale meaning big blower fans and then you find you spend all the energy you produce running the fans and other needed ancillary equipment.

It’s possible to use direct mechanical power harvested from renewables to turn the fans, though depending on the effiency it might make more sense to just convert that mechanical power directly into electricity. But, for example, a windmill (as opposed to a wind turbine) could harvest large scale natural air flow and then mechanically leverage that to move humid air at a smaller scale. Same with dams.

I guess? But like, if the Independent State Legislature of California decided to go along with the decision and become the People’s Republic of California then the Court could just say “no but not like that tho” and then ban California from doing that. They must still care somewhat about credibility/legitimacy, but I guess they just couldn’t help themselves when the chance to attack The Gays was available.

I just don’t want to have a car, but alas this is America…

If you live in the city and are able bodied there’s no reason to not replace your car with an ebike.

I live in the countryside and I’ve used that thing to do 40 mile round trips for appointments and groceries. If I didn’t have to deal with snow I’d ditch my car entirely.

Just be sure to wear sunscreen lol

You think new gas powered cars are affordable?

One thing gamers are notorious for: physical outdoor activity

I’m actually surprised, I thought the reason they were reluctant to endorse the so-called Independent State Legislature Theory because they didn’t want to erode their already fragile credibility in light of the seemingly endless corruption scandals. Then they go and basically ignore the entire concept of standing and make a ruling based on literally nothing! I think I need to reexamine how smart I think they are…

You don’t actually know that, though to be fair, an actually principled stance would be to refuse to serve all Republicans and not specifically Trump supporters. In some ways Trump is becoming the lesser evil of the Party when compared to some of the other monsters running against him.

Actually! There was no website. It was all made up.

Can you imagine having principles that are more important than profitability?
