Me neither! Looks like I’m adding another service to my repertoire

I think it is more specifically electric planes as large as commercial airline passenger planes are impossible. It has a lot to do with battery mass to energy content ratio. Kerosine is about 46.4 MJ (megajoules) per kilogram. Lithium-air batteries, for example, only have about 6.12 MJ/kg.

So, that means you need 7 times as much battery (in mass) to have the same energy content of kerosine fuel. Naively, we can maybe say that means electric planes only have 1/6 of the range of an equivalent kerosine plane.[^]

Interestingly, lithium-air batteries theoretically have the largest possible energy density for any battery at 40.1 MJ/kg.

^ The calculations are really basic and probably only slightly reflect reality (since there are many other important factors. For example, Hydrogen has a lot more energy per kilogram than kerosine, but because it is much less dense, it has much less energy per m^3 than kerosine. This has made hydrogen gas very impractical for either internal-combustion engines, or planes), but I think it gives an idea of what the problem is.

It’s stupid. Sure, one could argue that nationwide injunctions are overreach, but they are necessary to limit the otherwise unlimited executive order power. The real overreach that needs to be removed is the executive order power. Nationwide injunctions would not be as necessary if laws were actually created and voted on by congress.

Also, the opposite is true. Israel is a big threat to Iran. Would Iran have been justified in bombing Israel first?

The article fucked it up. The bill (first version) says: "Section 8 of this bill establishes the maximum ratios for the number of patients that may be assigned to a direct care nurse at one time in certain hospitals in a county … ".

It is true, it seems, that Nicotine treats ADHD. There is at least one study that showed nicotine patches (18h and 24h ones) provide a mild to moderate relief for ADHD in people that do not use nicotine otherwise (e.g. nonsmokers). So, it doesn’t just treat the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Cigarette smoke is known to contain a clinically significant amount of MAO inhibiters that are not nicotine. MAO inhibiters are regularly used to treat depression and anxiety, and theoretically could treat ADHD since MAOI’s generally prevent breakdown of dopamine. There is some nuance here.*

• For example, there are different types of MAO (monoamine oxidase - an enzyme that breaks down monoamines. Dopamine is an example of a monoamine), like MAO-A vs MAO-B, which break down different monoamines, and MAOI’s (MAO Inhibitors) differ on whether they inhibit A, B or both. Furthermore, there are reversible vs irreversible MAOI.

Aside from the deputy’s fucked up actions, this man had to save $3500 for dental work, money that could have helped in many other crucial ways, like renting a home. It is fucked up that urgent dental care is not free or at least much cheaper.

It is accessible, but it is made for people with accessibility issues?

I think this misrepresents the conversation that actually happened. Paraphrasing, it was something like this:

R: The constitution says you cannot deport people without due process. Do you agree? Trump: No, I’m not sure… R: It says so in the Fifth. Trump: I don’t know, I’m not a lawyer. R: Do you agree that you have to follow the constitution? Trump: I don’t know, I’m not a lawyer. Due process for millions of people does not sound possible.

While it could be taken from that convo that Trump did say he doesn’t know if he should follow the constitution, I think that it is clear that he was probably saying something like “I don’t know where the Constitution stands on due process.”

I’ll say though, it is crazy for him to say he doesn’t know what the Constitution says. I know he probably does that for legal reasons. Anyway, for a president who swore to follow the constitution seemingly not knowing anything about the constitution is preposterous, to say the least.

The extremism is from one side, but there is a risk that, to protect against that extremism, a polar opposite comes (Liberals most probably). Also, maybe im misunserstanding the word “polarisation”, but i understand it to mean “two polar opposites”, neither of which is necessarily extremist. For instance, I would argue that the US is polarised, but only the Republicans are the extremists, while Democrats are a defensive response to the Republicans.

Omg thats hilarious.

““We should have expected something like this,” said one Trump ally who would only speak off the record as she’s currently the premier of a western Canadian province.”

Hahaha

Yep, it was really perfect for the liberals. I wonder if choosing Carney was a calculated choice to benefit from the turmoil in the US, or if it is just ridiculously good luck.

Yep!

Yes, they are. There is also an instinct giant awawa.

It is most likely a false-flag, because the criticisms in the document all are clearly insane, and each question makes the actual Conservative policies appear saner in comparison.

Is this possible in Canada? I mean, is it as easy to do that in Canada?

Genuinely asking.

I think FPTP keeps fringe or unpopular ideas out. Assuming its a 2-party dominated system, it will keep extremists out only if the extremists are fringe.

This is a shallow analysis.

I dont think so, but I would love one

No, we don’t use machines in Canada, nor is there a plan to introduce them.

I had to double check myself, but seems the statement was correct. Elections Canada says that (see Voting Technology section in the link):

Elections Canada does not use automatic ballot-counting machines to count ballots or tabulate results in Canadian federal elections.

There are no plans to introduce Internet voting or ballot-counting technology for federal elections.

Not gravy. Op was talkng about gravy tea.
