By “wet bulb event” do you mean when the wet bulb temperature exceeds around 94 F and you will literally eventually die without air conditioning? Because, yeah, that’s incredibly scary.

We had a couple of those days in Texas this summer.

Dearborn, I hope your lives work out ok. You’ve really fucked up.

Dearborn, MI did not decide this election.

Also within this very hypothetical scenario, the act of seeking a third term is after the hypothetical amendment, so there is no ex post facto in any case.

This time America voted for the felon to become a dictator

No, they just voted for the term that runs 2025-1-20 to 2029-1-20. The dictator thing might end up happening, but it’s not what was voted on.

Any trip to Mars is going to involve massive amounts of personal suffering and privation.

Minimum mission duration of 3 years. Living space no larger than a small RV. All the food is freeze dried. Can you imagine the smell that will develop? If anything breaks, it’s on you to fix it, and there is no trip down to the hardware store, and no United Rentals to bail you out. Any medical complication? There’s no ER, just whatever you’ve got in the kit.

And that’s not even starting on the chronic radiation hazard for which there is no viable option to deploy shielding. And a freak solar flare can cook you with acute radiation that will kill you at any time.

Seriously, we’re talking about an adventure that would be way more epic than Shackleton.

Aka “Windows subsystem for Linux”

Printer stopped working, or it got misaligned to the paper, and just the allergen message was cut off. Perhaps.

80,000 pounds is slightly over two tractor trailers’ worth. For the whole country, that’s not a big deal.

Also this classic xkcd

Oh no. Are you telling me that an xkcd numbered in the 2000s is a “classic” now? Yikes

Read your physics textbook. There were so many S tier German physicists in the first part of the twentieth century. They remade physics in their own image.

And a whole bunch of them left in the 30s. Quite a few ended up working on the Manhattan project. Werner Heisenberg didn’t leave, and eventually headed up the Nazi nuclear weapons program.

Fine.

Although the tenth does end with

…are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Once upon a time, straight outta school, I wrote up solutions to problems from the Serway physics book. For Chegg. $5 per problem.

Fuck Chegg.

Yeah. He’s just wearing some kind of standard Bajoran civilian uniform, right?

(And the military Bajoran uniform is red)

This can also be ordered as “well done” fries.

Also works with the onions on the burgers.

The court affirmed migrants’ right to interstate travel,

Fun fact: this is an unenumerated right of the people that courts have consistently recognized. The tenth amendment promises that the people retain their natural rights, even if they’re not explicitly listed in the Constitution.

This is exactly the same category as the right to privacy that was postulated in Roe v. Wade and overturned in Dobbs.

Ice cream is always about churning air into cream. But nowadays the air ratio has definitely gone up. Seemingly across the board.

And that assumes that you’re not buying a brand that has gotten into the fakery.

Well, they ain’t starting from scratch, cause they designed a bunch of nukes for the USSR.

They almost certainly have workable designs in a file drawer, and the old facilities are all in Ukraine too. It’s a question of how much decommissioning those got in the nineties, and how long it takes to enrich the uranium.

The democratic election was just one step in a long multi step process. This was true for the Nazis, and it is true for Trump.

To actually do all the stuff he wants to do, Trump will require people to cooperate with him. Do not give any cooperation from your end.

If he does something that’s illegal, litigate it in court. If he wants to pass an enabling act, filibuster that s***. If he wants to ban books, circumvent those book bans. Do not give up a single inch of ground willingly. For every person that is rounded up into a camp, some other fairly normal person had to choose to do that. Don’t. Trump can’t run these camps all by himself.

Here’s what I want say about that.

We’ve got a defense system against fascism here in the US of A called checks and balances, and another one called minority rights. And I think reasonable people should lean on those as hard as we can for as long as they remain viable options.

Fascism is something that comes to pass because people allow it to happen. Even now it is not yet inevitable. For example, Proud Boys and the other paramilitaries are not unified and they don’t control the streets. The best course of action is to resist at every opportunity.
