If ATCs strike right now, what could they even do? They can’t possibly bring on enough scabs to do the job. If they tried, it’d be a disaster and ensure US air travel dies.
Hey, Air Traffic Controllers! You have immense power right now!
It’s neat to think about what units an alien civilization would come up with independently. Like the Plank Distance is fundamental to physics, so they’d probably have something for that.
Degrees Celsius is based on freezing and boiling point of water, so if they came up with a base 10 numbering system and water is key to their biology, then they’d probably come up with that.
A calorie is the energy needed to increase the temperature of 1L of water by 1C. A liter is a volume of a cube 0.1m on each side. The meter was originally ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and north pole (and subsequent redefinitions are based on that original measurement). They wouldn’t come up with the meter, and they wouldn’t come up with liters or calories, either.
Speed of Causality is the absolute maximum speed. It’s the theoretical maximum that any cause could propagate an effect. Speed of Light in a (perfect) vacuum happens to be equal to the Speed of Causality.
Doesn’t matter.
He’s holding together the whole GOP by merely existing. Without him as a unifying point, they can’t even agree on a Speaker of the House. They’ll tear themselves apart. This is very obvious if you know how cults of personality actually work beyond pop culture.
Sure, there will be MAGA Hatters for a long time. They’ll mostly be stewing in their basement with a bunch of Nazi paraphernalia and bitching. They won’t be a meaningful political force.
He’s always been more than a little petite bourgeoisie. Among all his spats with the city of New York, I’m sure you can find something where he was at fault, but we generally only get his side of things. Still, I think he’s been mostly a good advocate. FUTO is not the right place to do that.
Can you vacation there without trying to pay a Yakuza pimp in Pokemon cards?
Not really. This thing isn’t going to outlive Trump, and he’s very old and not in good health.
They’ll all pretend they were never MAGA, why are you still going on about Trump, we’re trying to look forward, etc.
This is exactly how the GOP disowned the Bush II Administration with the Tea Party.
Most of the time, we consider heat output to be inefficient. It only works here because heat happens to be its purpose.
You could say it’s 0% efficient.
The only thing that saves the Xbox brand at this point might be firing the entire executive staff.
Strange that two years ago, there was worry that Xbox would take over everything after the Activision-Blizzard merger. Sony once again manages to take advantage of its competitor’s mistakes by mostly sitting and watching.
Right, so, not enough.
Per the edit, range will probably be fine. Na batts are already reaching the energy density of Li batts in EVs right now. It just takes a while for a new battery on an assembly line to get into actual car models. We’re not really waiting on any breakthroughs anymore.
Also, considering that modern cars are considered totaled by basically any accident, it’s not going to be the limiting factor on the car’s lifetime. It’s mostly a talking point by ICE advocates who stealthily imply million km cars are typical.
And it’s wasted on plants, who just spread their cum around the whole damn planet and make me sneeze.
I dunno what he’s paid, but it isn’t enough.
Is there anyone arguing against dinosaurs being birds anymore? This was still a relatively new thought to the general public when Jurassic Park came out, but IIRC, it was pretty well accepted among paleontologists even back then. More people try to badly argue that Pluto is a planet than try to say dinosaurs aren’t birds.
Why? It’s leaving out a very important third option. We should not be beholden to the definitions set by people who have limited understanding.
No, that’s demonstrably untrue. The way smart thermostats can make better decisions about temperature management does lower energy usage even on traditional setups. They’re essential on heat pumps in colder climates.
Which caused domino effects that are still being felt. They can’t do that again. There simply isn’t anybody they can hire.
