But is that gender affirming care or is that just care?
It feels like otherwise the definition is to vague, like using lotion, getting braces, or even getting a tattoo would be gender affirming care under that definition
Those aren’t really to affirm one’s gender as they are gender neutral actions
Like a person shaving their body hair to appear less masculine makes sense but a person shaving their body hair for swimming doesn’t make sense
Are hair loss drugs really gender “affirming” care?like what man out there is going bald and thinking “this looks too feminine”
I guess it could be gender affirming care for women
Independence doesn’t really work because they need a ton of earth infrastructure to survive at least for the foreseeable future before it can be self sufficient
Exploration kind of makes sense but the moon is barren and we have it mapped
Resource extraction is hard because the moon isn’t known for being resource rich besides helium
But even a 10C rise on earth still makes earth more hospitable than the moon
I would argue schrodingers cat is more annoying because most people don’t understand it at all and think it was an actual thought experiment vs a critique on the ridiculousness of superposition
Reduce military from 2.1m to under 500k
Audit veterans disability for fraud
The amount of people who are 100% disabled while living and working entirely normal lives says something is wrong with the system
Veterans affairs will be able to be cut within a few years
My information is based on installing 3 dishwashers in the US that all said to either connect to cold water or give an option for cold water or hot water
Voltage doesn’t matter for heating what matters is overall power. 1500W at 120V and 1500W at 450V both heat at the same rate. The advantage of higher voltage home systems is they usually allow higher power since current is generally the limiting factor but they make higher current breakers for 120V
I was off on my conversions and did calories instead of joules. Either way it takes 4 minutes to get from 60 to 160 which is still trivial on a multi hour cycle
Here is one that allows either connection but emphasizes increased efficiency with hooking up to cold water. I admitted I was wrong on my conversions will you admit you are wrong that they have to hook up to hot water?
The military budget isn’t even the whole story because it doesn’t include the hundreds of billions that go to DHS and the hundreds of billions that’s go to veterans affairs which only exists because of the military budget
Many modern dishwashers only have a cold water inlet so it literally does not get water from the hot water tank.
120V really doesn’t matter that much as they are commonly on their own 20A breaker. At 1500W of power it can heat 1.5L of water from 60F to 168F in 1 minute.
Isn’t the stereotype more about selling intentionally inferior products, not that it’s low tech?
Like using cheaper materials and then adding a weight to make it seem less cheap
It’s a diagnostic/priority question why does it bother you so much? If you took your car to a mechanic and said it doesn’t work would you be insulted if they asked you if it turned on?
Nitrogen can be very dangerous as you don’t feel the reduction in oxygen and just get sleepy until you pass out unlike CO2 which your body can sense
Isn’t 0.08 around 3 beers for the average person?
While I wouldn’t drive at that level that is definitely not “pretty fucking drunk”
Wouldn’t you just need a police officer to go to court and say they are accusing you based on said evidence and then you still face the accuser
The huge invasions of privacy seem like a much bigger issue but I am also not a legal expert
I put livable wage in quotation marks because it wouldn’t actually be a livable wage. The pay would likely be 1-2x minimum wage which is still not livable in most places
The presence of a livable wage doesn’t affect any of those though?
The employer still pays FICA on tipped revenue, and paying for insurance has nothing to do with their wage
Best service I received was in Japan without tipping
Servers don’t want the system to change as they make more money with tips than they would from a “livable wage”
A paper from around a decade ago talked about using WiFi to identify key strokes so with large data models we have today I would assume they could get pretty good fidelity on a person. Maybe not enough for “beyond a reasonable doubt” but probably enough where your WiFi company is selling your data on what you do at home
There are plenty of reasons to take one out,
They could be doing non destructive testing on it
They could have a hypothesis on how some phenonomen works and want to do a test on an already built product vs spending billions on a new product
They could be working on a similar design and the original drawings (hand drawn) have an inconsistency that they want to compare to the real product
it’s not like they are sending it on spy missions again, it’s nasa wanting to see it and it’s also possible they don’t even NEED the blackbird but a bunch of aerospace nerds found an excuse to pull out a plane that’s considered one of the coolest planes of all time
