Somewhat, but not nearly as quickly or to the extent of something like gasoline, acetone or even d-limonene/orange oil (which is what I use to dissolve styrofoam packaging for repurposing, because it smells the best and is less flammable).
This video is someone dissolving polystyrene in kerosene, and as you can see it is a very slow process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1yDdIanTEA
I think they meant the overwhelming majority of people who have/use them, not of people in general.
That’s literally what I was saying/implying, so I’m not sure “no” is a particularly valid response. I think you misread.
The comment chain went like this:
However, Marx (and most other communist philosophers) would agree, however.
Because it’s economic philosophy concept, not necessarily a literal term. The German form of the term is about 100 years old refers to the form of capitalism that took root post-WWI; the English translation didn’t really take off until about 50 years ago and typically refers to capitalist forms that rose after WWII.
did anybody notice that the hundreds of thousands of deaths attributed to the opioid epidemic included heroin?
This is because of two main things, AFAIK.
The number of heroin and other opiate addicts that got that way because of prescription opioids. This is a period of time where a significant majority of opiate/opioid addicts started on legally prescribed pills, were kept on them too long and weren’t properly tapered off. Many then sought street versions of the drugs to avoid withdrawals and fell further into addiction.
Adulteration of other drugs. It has long been common to adulterate drugs by adding cheaper but stronger drugs and filler to the mix so that most users know something is happening but remain unaware they paid more for a mix of dubious efficacy. Incomplete mixing, higher tolerance to the advertised drug than the additive one, or are in some way compounding in the mixed drugs cause many more overdose deaths than those of known and consistent effects.
And when both aspects combine, it can prove to be a particularly deadly combo.
Unfortunately, they are people. Evil, narcissistic, sociopathic, detestable people. Dehumanizing them is easy because of how inhumane they are, but it jumpstarts one of the more verified slippery slopes that ends up “justifying” atrocities.
That being said, I’m all for them being stripped of every possession and asset they’ve ever had, sending every participant family member and associate put in a different high security prison for life, and possibly sentencing them under 13th amendment slavery rules with all revenue going to addiction treatment.
Because they’re people. And they deserve all of the things our judicial system has to offer. As people. Evil, shitty, greedy, people.
A captured justice system that has been corrupted by twisted, mutant late stage capitalism, mostly.
The French made some attempts at making metric time a thing, but no one really liked it.
A significant number of his best investments were based upon fuckery that the rest of us aren’t really able to enact, so “spite buy entire companies” or whatever isn’t really any sort of opinion I’d listen to, either.
If we can’t even hold the nation hostage, what’s the point of authoritarian control?!
Upvoted you, but they frequently fly out of smaller/private airports that don’t have direct ATC control anyway, so it’s unlikely that’s a significant contributor to a solution. Though I definitely agree it should be done at whatever scale it can be to improve general conditions.
TBF, an investor could make a thousand good investments and I’d still regard their opinion as worthless (here’s lookin’ at you, Buffet.) Being “good” at figuring out which stocks and companies you can exploit the most from the actually productive economy doesn’t make you smart or in anyway good.
Ding Dong the Dick is dead, the wicked Dick. Which old Dick? The wicked Dick.
He’s gone below where the goblins go.
TBF, they’ve left that mercury tomb in China sort of alone.
The whole trinity concept (god is jesus and the holy spirit etc) is distinctly Catholicism, (maybe a couple others, not sure).
It’s definitely not just a couple others. The vast majority of modern denominations believe in the trinity. The list of sects that reject the trinity is much shorter.
Not that I’m aware of, unfortunately. They seem to be trying to pretend they aren’t even doing it, so telling us why they obviously are modifying content doesn’t seem likely until they’re backed in to a corner by popular outrage.
Yeah, I should have said that there is no basis for the executive branch moving elections under any circumstances (including any precedent or statute for cancelling elections under the Insurrection Act).
At some point that doesn’t matter, though. The constitution is just ink on parchment at the end of the day.
I’ve only had 1 without a removable battery and decided never again. Can recommend Fairphone, or maybe Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro.
The Fairphone is particularly repairable and more sustainably and ethically produced than pretty much any other phone FWIW. Almost any component can be replaced in minutes, including the screen and camera($106), as well as microphones, speakers, usb ports, etc ($20~40). It uses de-Googled android and has a variety of built in security and privacy features other phones lack. They’re a good company trying to improve the industry, so I think more people should be aware of them.
The Galaxy XCover Pro is the best of the very limited number of removable battery phones from major well known brands, IMO.
