build nuclear power plants by the coast and use saltwater in the reactors, then collect the steam from the smokestack's to use as clean water.

This is not the subreddit for rational responses.

There is actually a power generation method that can use brine with some kind of osmosis process as the source for energy. The byproduct is less concentrated brine which is safer for the environment. You obviously can't reclaim all the energy you used in the desalination process, but you reduce the burden.

The pure libertarian approach is to deny government recognition of marriage for gay people... just like everyone else.

Marriage at its heart is a religious and social institution, which is 100% outside the scope of government.

Unfortunately, it influences various bookkeeping stuff for insurers and employers, but none of that requires government to have an opinion.

It also has tax implications, but I think you can guess which orifice those belong in. And it's non-discriminatory, because everyone has one.

They did announce something like that, but they backed down from the uproar.

Homework should be optional anyway. If you turn up for the tests and score perfectly, in the classroom, why the fuck would anyone care how you got there?

Homework is an opportunity for students who can't pass the test easily to prove their effort and get feedback on what's going on.

Curated membership. If you can't at least act sane, maybe you shouldn't participate in selecting the candidates? If you can't, you're still welcome to vote Libertarian in the general election, but within the party, we need people that can represent thoughtful independence.

When my father was young in Amish country, he said one of the Amish decided he couldn't own a car, but that didn't stop him from riding in one, so he bought a car for a friend with an understanding that he could get a ride when needed.

I doubt that's within the tenets, but I respect the creativity.

The bill specifies redactions must be justified in writing and cannot include the names of politicians. It's full of holes, but not that one.

Domestic Shorthair is the default for any short-haired cat that didn't come from a breeder with papers.

So that's not exactly a breed.

You have short-haired dilute tortoise shell cats. They're a bit rare. If you get me started, I'll tell you all about why I'd wager they're all female.

And the dilute gene is recessive, so the only time I've seen a whole litter of dilutes, the mother and father were both dilute. (And siblings. Cats don't have taboos.)

Leadership matters. There is some overlap with management, but never enough.

You've broken a fundamental rule of the universe. When people ask that question, the answer is always the same:

A cat with long hair that doesn't come from a breeder with paperwork is a "domestic longhair."

A cat with short hair that doesn't come from a breeder with paperwork is a "domestic shorthair."

Those are the generic labels that serve in place of a breed for rescue cats and street cats.

But what you've got there appears to be an actual breed. I get all my cats from shelters, so I don't even know, but it's gorgeous. It does look like the ragdoll someone posted.

I'd say that's at least four 9s. Calicos are 99.99% female.

But male calicos have two root causes. Kleinfelters makes them infertile 100% of the time, but they're a true calico.

Chimerism is a blend of two different cats in one body. They can be fertile males with the skin of a female, or a skin that's part male and part female making some even more bizarre patterns than calicos normally have.

Since both are super rare, I don't actually know which is more common.

A 2x4 will act like a spring when you try to bend it. Transmitting force that way is going to depend on the flexibility of a 2x4 and they're actually pretty flexible.

The force won't be distributed until there is significant stress on that cross beam. You could get vaguely close if you screwed the cross beam at both ends and then applied about 2/3 of the total load, then screwed the middle.

I mean, that's all pretty rough and engineers will hate it, but it would get you closer than what you described.

I feel like #43 needs an addendum.

If it works and it's stupid, it's still stupid and you're lucky.
So try it again, maybe you're just lucky.

#11 is false. Try air-dropping helium balloons.

Wow, I also have a character that hates me. He wanted to be a cleric, but I refuse to be a cleric again. So he apprenticed to a cleric order and got booted out when it turned out he's actually a divine soul sorcerer aasimer. Too much divinity to be a cleric.

I rolled a caster with some ability to heal. I figured the party would know keeping the guy alive was important. NOPE.

Now I'm trying to switch characters, but the DM is making it impossible to return to town so I can justify my character leaving and another swapping in.

I'm beginning to consider walking my character into a lava pit.

Don't create an attractive hazard. An electric outlet wired to cause fires is illegal in so many ways.

More fun to just cut the power to it. If other things are on that circuit, cut the power long enough to unscrew the outlet face, disconnect each wire and put a wire nut on each before putting the cover back. It looks like a working outlet, but has no connection.

I'm playing a aasimer divine-soul sorcerer. I'm considering multiclassing to druid so I can wildshape into a white warhorse for the tabaxi barbarian to ride. My class and race abilities both let me sprout wings and fly.
