The minimum liability insurance isn’t a scam. If you hit someone and cripple them you’ll be glad for insurance to pay their medical etc…
Comprehensive is absolutely a scam. Just take the money and save it, maybe buy some bonds. Then when it’s time to buy a new car (or when you get your car totaled) you’re already half way to a new car.
But don’t stay TOO far away, otherwise you can still be a victim of arrows. There is in ideal distance to THAT GUY to minimize your arrow related risks.

Genuinely: magic mushrooms. That’s what it feels like after a trip. All the bullshit is cleaned out, the depressive recurring thoughts, unhelpful beliefs… Just a clean brain ready to get demolished again by our cruel capitalist neoliberal world.

Let’s not paradox of tolerance this place into a Nazi bar
The energy math doesn’t make sense for grid scale applications with solid objects.
However if you can get water between two places it can work quite well. You need to live close to a big change in altitude and do a bit of geoengineering to create the upper and lower reservoirs, which can be destructive to local ecology, but not as much as a dam.

You can also use pumped air underwater with higher energy losses than pumped storage hydro because of compatibility of air.
At home both of those are invalid. You close the lid before you flush so you don’t spread particles everywhere (among many other benefits)
Everyone opens the lid/seat to the desired level. Everyone does their business. Everyone closes the lid. Everyone flushes and washes their hands.
True gender equality!
7·1 month agoI think that free speech laws are what stopped us from being proactive against these intolerant fascist views.
They turn tolerance from a social contract into a “paradox” where we have to tolerate the intolerant until they take over.
If we didn’t have such strict free speech laws, we could have deplatformed and jailed these people back when they were at the “protest with confederate and Nazi flags” stage and not had to deal with the neo-fascist government stage.
To put it another way punching Nazis should be legal. A Nazi is a direct existential threat to Jewish people and other minorities. Parading with Nazi paraphernalia in public is violence towards others and punching Nazis is valid self defense. American free speech and self defense laws were written to exclude “inducement” of violence, but that’s been whittled away by the supreme Court, including a ruling that walking around with Nazi flags in a Jewish neighborhood wasn’t bad enough to permit the residents to retaliate in any way because of “free speech”.
I do not feel bad for his family. They’re better off. Here is what he said about his (future) 10 year old daughter getting raped www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/charlie-kirks-hardline-abortion-views-resurface-after-his-killing-in-utah-viral-video-101757562999575.html
This guy is an irredeemable ghoul. I’d rather have no dad than a dad that forces me to carry to term and raise a rape baby at 10 years old.
Yes, but we live in a patriarchy. When a grifter grifts millions of us, both as workers and consumers, to become rich they’re “a visionary, amazing, self made man”. But when a woman grifts a single one of these assholes and gets some of their money she’s a “gold digger”.
Human spiral sees one country invading another country, stealing their children, stealing their land, stealing their resources:
“The invaders are the good guys, the victim is actually the bad one. I can’t explain because it’s really complicated. If you see the victim as a victim then you’re just being childish”
Good grief!
As long as we all raise our kids this way, they won’t be out of touch with their peers!
summitsystems.co.uk/adiabatic-coolers-vs-cooling-towers/
There are many solutions to this problem. Evaporative cooling is just the cheapest. But it’s only cheap because we don’t charge these water users market rates for water. If they’re threatening drinking water or agricultural water we should just charge them for water usage the same as you pay for drinking water at home. That’s fundamentally what they’re taking when they drain the rivers dry. That way they compete directly on the water market instead of bypassing it.
They’ll install adiabatic coolers in no time.
“If we try to make the world a better place, the conservatives will use that as a pretext to do what they’re already doing”
There was an onion article about almost exactly that lol. https://theonion.com/protesters-urged-not-to-give-trump-administration-pretext-for-what-it-already-doing/
They’re already saying our plan to tackle climate change is going to hurt the economy. But we know that doing nothing will hurt the economy worse. Being scared of them saying what they’re already saying is weak and cowardly. Toughen up and do the right thing.
10·2 months agoOh, is Doug Ford in Paris? Because this is literally what happened in a beautiful transit connected beach in Ontario. The Ontario premier overruled the city Mayor and built a 3500 spot car park and said the car park would become the main tourist destination of the area.
You watch, it’ll probably be the No. 1 place where people will take pictures
Oh yeah I’ll drop it… With my NO ARMS … you insensitive piece of poop
