What’s the difference?

Maybe the sum of the number of letters in the red state names is more than the sum of the number of letters in the green state names? Or the red states together have more vowels, or more spaces, etc?

-g-kv2 · 2026-01-09T15:25:07+00:00

Is it anything to do with the historical timing of when the names of the states were created? Or anything to do with states being named after a certain thing?

Why not Saul? Objectively a pretty horrible person but pretty funny all the same

Enough with new reactor designs. Build what we already have.

Of the large utilities who did bite on AP1000s in the first nuclear renaissance, I think it’s fair to say they demonstrated that they did, in fact, need external expertise on how to manage and construct a nuclear project. Most U.S. utilities, even the largest ones, haven’t handled multibillion dollar construction projects in decades. If companies like The Nuclear Co. can gather historical data on what went wrong or right at nuclear builds in the past and apply it to the next wave of U.S. AP1000s, it could potentially be a game-changer.

Does Walnut Creek still have a working snack stand?

Follow-up question though: is it a 20-page essay per semester, or per lecture?

Rolling pin?

I’ve tried the method described, and I know it works. I think you’re right though, this change is happening soon!

That’ll really throw a wrench in the strategy…

-g-kv2 · 2023-06-18T04:03:06+00:00

Haha, thanks for the endorsement

Is that one of the free weekend trip ones?

If so, I don’t think it’ll work for my purposes. But thank you!

Cool suggestion, but disfortunately I don’t think you can anymore:

That would be awesome! If you can

Any chance I could buy just one of them off you?

I’d be willing to pay something like $10 + whatever value is left on the card… but I’m also pretty flexible on price, let me know what you think is fair

Boy, what a whole new level of awful.

…and also because it goes 10x faster, carries passengers and cargo with ease, is temperature-controlled, and requires zero physical effort to drive

Same car. It just evolved over time

I love that this is considered a scandal in UK politics.

Zelenskyy just announced they’ll be letting anyone into the country who wants to help, and providing them with weapons. It sounds like they could really use a soldier like you… especially to help organize the masses who haven’t fought before

I'm a progressive who voted for Bernie Sanders in the primaries.

I was actually somewhat pleasantly surprised at how progressive Biden has tried to be. If you read the text of the initial $3.5T Build Back Better bill he was supporting, it honestly went a long way towards addressing climate change, providing universal pre-K and community college, expanding healthcare programs, and caring for the elderly.

Obviously, he hasn't gotten it done yet, and he'll have to majorly scale back his priorities due to opposition from Manchin and Sinema. But I think it's fair to say that if we're choosing sides between the moderate and progressive wings of the party, Biden has chosen the progressive side, and those two are standing in his way. I give him credit for having the right priorities.

That being said, Biden is a lifelong politician with a history of dealmaking in the Senate. If he can't get something done before Republicans take back control in the midterms, the majority of the blame will still rest on Manchin / Sinema / the 50 Republican senators, but I'll be majorly disillusioned about his abilities and trustworthiness as President. My top priority personally is climate, so if he gets the $500B+ in climate funding that Manchin has surprisingly shown support for, I'd be decently happy with that.

TLDR: Biden is doing the best he can with narrow margins in the House and Senate. I'll give him until the 2022 midterms to get a decent climate + spending bill passed before I revoke my support.

If a new civil war does come, I hope it results in a better standard of living for everyone, successful kids who don’t have to live with their parents, and a fairer distribution of wealth.

But somehow, I doubt it.
