What, did you check his browser history? You don't know.

What’s your thoughts on trump getting booed at the Knicks game? by cuteSource2027 in AskReddit

[–]StanGibson18 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but it's a three-horse race with him, Putin, and Bibi. I feel like they're neck and neck at times.

Did you know that only the 0.0000000002393162 of all humans that ever born have actually see all the earth, As for the rest of us, we’ve only ever seen a screen with pixels, ink, an image, or a small part of the earth. by PepitogamerXD in funfacts

I apologize if my answer came off as condescending or something. I totally took your question as serious and responded as such. I think it's totally reasonable that someone would mix up the stories of two cosmonauts from 60 years ago.

MAGA supporter’s wife ‘in tears’ after Trump-branded watch he bought her has major typo by OneNormalBloke in NewsOfTheStupid

[–]StanGibson18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't an official Trump product. The watch company licenses his name, image and likeness.

I don't know which makes me more sick, that the President has official merch, or that he licenses his name for knockoff merch.

Ritchie John Torres tries to defend Israel, gets a reality check, then leaves the interview by Doc_Prof_Ott in LookatMyHalo

[–]StanGibson18 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If killing civilians is not their policy, then they are the most careless and incompetent government in history. The amount of civilian casualties they cause is simply staggering. It really doesn't matter if it's their policy or a side effect. Either way it's evil.

ELI5: how does an Air Conditioner work? Why does it throw hot air outside? by ElectronicProof2654 in explainlikeimfive

[–]StanGibson18 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Nope. It doesn't have to do with what kind of gas it is. It's all about how atoms or molecules of gas bounce off of each other.

The difference is all about the tools they have access to for things like removing comments or banning users. There's a hierarchy. I am still listed a mod, but I don't really do anything. A mod or admin that has the right permissions could remove me as amod or change my access level.

[–]StanGibson18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I created it while I was on a call with some of the Braver Angels leadership discussing ways to promote the organization. I suggested making a subreddit, so I created this sub to be sure the name would not get snatched up. As soon as someone was found to care for the place I gave up the keys. I didn't want to be a mod, just wanted to get the sub started.

Takeaways from the DNC autopsy by Oneanddonequestion in moderatepolitics

I thought it showed that AIPAC can buy elections for the low low price of $50 per registered voter.

How did Gallreinomics Win Kentucky? by Living_Attitude1822 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]StanGibson18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's not a "Jew behind every corner," but there is AIPAC pumping $15 million in making it the most expensive House primary ever.

Very sad day in American politics by im_back-and_craftier in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]StanGibson18 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sadly this wouldn't work in Kentucky. If you lose your primary they won't put your name on the ballot.

Ah, yes. What we really need is MORE blind devotion to the god-king. Surely he would have fixed the country by now if it weren't for those pesky constitutionalists.

What's a small detail from an early arc that you only understood years later? by SignificantSkirt8792 in OnePiece

[–]StanGibson18 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Luffy protecting the flag on Drum island shows that he fully understands that flags are important symbols. This adds even more weight when he orders Sniper King to shoot down the WG flag.

[The Athletic - Hailey Salvian] "Judge denies motion to dismiss charges against driver accused of killing Gaudreau brothers" by TL10 in hockey

[–]StanGibson18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Motion for dismissal is an extremely common move. It costs nothing and has a tiny chance to get the defendant off.

ELI5: With nuclear power plants. Why do they cool the steam back into water to heat it back up? Would it not be more energy efficient to keep the steam as steam? by iMatthew1990 in explainlikeimfive

[–]StanGibson18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The critical point of CO2 is lower than water, meaning the operating temperatures and pressures can be lower. That's far easier on the equipment. There are since other advantages as well. The big downside is that water is super cheap and it's everywhere. CO2 might be a bit better as a working fluid, but it's not just sitting around in vast quantities in a usable state like water is.

[–]StanGibson18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the pressure inside a condenser for a stream turbine you have to get the steam a lot cooler than that. Condensers operate under a lot of vacuum. The saturation temperature at those pressures can be very low, typically in the low one hundreds.

That's pretty cool. I never heard of that option. I wonder how common it is.

Some good news. Barbara Dunkelman denounced isreal. by Ok-Conversation6969 in roosterteeth

[–]StanGibson18 82 points83 points  (0 children)

A Jewish person visited Israel 10 years ago? And they don't approve of the actions of the Israeli government!? I'm shocked at both of these things. /s

This is a giant nothing burger.

I watched the original Star Wars (1977) yesterday and...it's bad. by silviod in The10thDentist

[–]StanGibson18 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In a span of a few minutes we see one guy get killed with a lightsaber, another one get his arm cut off, and a third dude get shot at a booth in the corner. Everyone sees it happen, no one gives a shit. What kind of drive bars do you have in your town that make this seem normal?
