- Comment on How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now? 1 week ago:
Honestly, if we’re taking the stance of 'lets run the government like a business*,
It’s just good marketing.
It makes people in other countries that little bit more likely to buy something made in the USA, or to visit as tourists or to volunteer to help during a natural disaster.
The example you’re referring to isn’t even in the millions - it was around $70K! Ireland spent $163 Billion on Amercian services because of a good, long standing relationship between the two countries.

Contributions to global organisations is what is known as “soft power” - for example, the only time NATO article 5 has been invoked is by the USA after 9/11
And guess what - every other country stood up and came to America’s defence. In the grand scheme of things, it’s a pretty good deal to spend a few million for the billions you get back in cooperative agreements with the rest of the world.

Thanks for being honest. What is Trumps actual plan?

Since this is a science community, can I ask what studies directly link these microplastics to the specific adverse affects?
I see a lot of “BPA microplastics are hormone disruptors” and “microplastics found in placentas!” Etc … ok, but are they the same microplastics in these studies?
It sounds like when everyone puts scarequotes around “chemicasl”…

I assume just normal credit card payments online? PayPal started because people were scared to use their card online, but now you get all the same buyer protections and insurance.

- Comment on I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07. 8 months ago:
The slap was because you were blaming the person who actually contributed more to the driver.
The correct response is: Wow! The delivery fee was only 3.49! How do they expect someone to work for such a pathetic wage!

NO! I don’t think you understood at all!
Someone else hired a person and paid them 3.49 to drive hot food around.
Then a customer, who also paid the first person paid them more than their employer did.
If I could slap you over the internet right now I would.
- Comment on Why would the NA beer industry standardize on a bottle shape that's grotesquely inconvenient, topples with minimal force, and doubles the required volume to ship? 9 months ago:
There’s no plastic in an aluminum can. Both glass and aluminum are almost totally recycled into their base materials. Aluminum is lighter to transport to and from the recycling facility.

I think that’s the gimmick - it’s like a spot the difference once you’ve done the puzzle and are still in Minnesota with nothing else to do.
- Comment on What produced the old dead channel tv static audiovisuals on tvs? 11 months ago:
That is a good question, but I suspect if you tried this in real life it would still show static.
- The waves are amplified with a circuit that attempts to find a signal even if it’s very weak (so you can get a picture even if you’re close or very far from the tv station)
- At a certain point, the electromagnetic field from the running TV itself would start to get picked up
I suspect a better though experiment would be if you just disconnected the input and amplification circuit entirely from the CRT tube, in which case you would probably just get white as the electron beam scans back and forth without any modulation.

- Comment on Removed from sale: Peter Molyneux's Godus and Godus Wars, never finished 1 year ago:
I remember reading those Dev journals too, but I feel like they helped me to get more out of B&W than most other people.
Yes, it was all about building hype, but it meant that I played more in a “find-your-own-fun-and-set-your-own-goals” way, which I think was what the original intent was.
Everyone’s biggest complaint was that the missions were half-baked and felt like they were thrown in right at the end. And they were right.

- Comment on The Chinese calendar is 4721 years old. Did it have the same problem as the Julian calendar with an imprecise number of days per year? 1 year ago:
I’m not an expert on the subject, but at least one of the calenders you’re thinking of is a Lunar calendar.
So not 365.242374 days but a variety of other synchronisation problems.
