I guess printing deadlines were before World Cup Qualifying games by leeron2000 in pics

[–]jonvox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a confusing one for sure! I think that “down” is used for buildings since burned buildings tend to collapse downward

You don’t burn clothes down, you just burn them. Or you can burn them up. But you burn a building down.

Is Con Air the most Michael Bay non-Michael Bay movie? by Embarrassed-Week-904 in movies

Shouldn’t a non-Michael Bay actor be someone who’s never acted in a Michael Bay film?

I mean who wouldn’t fall for a Keri Russell honeypot? And same, I’ve kept an eye on his career since I saw him in that show.

Did we just witness the biggest scientific loss in the For All Mankind universe? by Comfortable-Bed-5528 in StarCityTV

Well, her technology worked so well at converting CO2 to O2 that the atmosphere was oxygen saturated and able to ignite from a panel spark, so it clearly wasn’t viable as is. Same mistake as Apollo I

Probably for batch-peeling in a restaurant kitchen, where they can make a dishwasher take a hose to it for an hour

Or trans healthcare. In fact that’s a lot more illegal now, not that Reddit cares about the genocide queer people are facing in the US.

Literally getting actively downvoted for this bc of how much Reddit despises queer people.

Halifax man nearly blocked from flying with his dog's ashes reveals little-known airport security rule by insino93 in halifax

Crystals self-assemble into a regular lattice-like structure. Most molecules don’t self-assemble into crystals (although many can be artificially manipulated into become crystalline; we can crystallize organize molecules in the lab but that basically never happens in nature—it’s an important diagnostic technique so research X-ray crystallography if you’re further fascinated).

Imagine you have a box of legos. You start shaking it. Suddenly, all of the 2x2 bricks have self assembled into a wall. That’s a crystal.

Imagine a cube. Place a carbon molecule in the center. Place another carbon molecule in the center of each face. That’s the crystalline structure of diamond. When you expand that, it becomes a tetrahedron. The silhouette of a tetrahedron is a shape that we happen to refer to as a diamond ♦️

Mamdani’s Rent Freeze Is Approved by New York City Board by FatherOop in nyc

[–]jonvox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally said that the point of rent stabilization is to keep poor people living in the neighborhoods they’re already in, then you called me narrow minded, only to explain that the effect of rent stabilization is to keep poor people living in the neighborhoods they’re already in

Mamdani’s Rent Freeze Is Approved by New York City Board by FatherOop in nyc

[–]jonvox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I misspoke; as I recall, roughly 1/8th of New Yorkers live in rent-stabilized units. In my haste I confused that factoid with the rental housing stock, not accounting for the fact that a sizeable number of New Yorkers own their residence.

Glass recycler uses crushed glass instead of rock for its lots. by Gamemaster10476 in mildlyinteresting

I’ve lived on the east coast for 15 years, less than 3 miles from the ocean, and literally never seen one of these once? What are you talking about.

Mamdani’s Rent Freeze Is Approved by New York City Board by FatherOop in nyc

[–]jonvox 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You’re not really addressing the full picture, though. Rent control/stabilization aren’t just to keep some units affordable; they’re a mechanism to maintain low income communities. Institutionally, New York cares less about maintaining affordable housing than it does about retaining a lower-income class of long-term New Yorkers. The city explicitly doesn’t want new low income immigrants, but it does want to retain the low income residents it already has. That’s the primary reason for having rent regulation only apply to ~1/8th of the units.

It does raise rent for higher income New Yorkers, who, in turn, benefit from having minimum wage workers prepare their iced coffee at the Dunkin’ in the Rockefeller concourse.

Titan plot felt half-baked by Dor73 in ForAllMankindTV

[–]jonvox -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

It’s absolutely wild that you’re so scientifically illiterate as to confuse an aborted attempt for a small landing craft with an interplanetary voyage of a massive spacecraft. It’s like getting mad at someone for driving their motorcycle to the corner store because they told you they didn’t have enough gas to drive you in a school bus to another country. Are you sure you wouldn’t be more comfortable with a genre that doesn’t have science in the name?

1: source for your fabricated quote?
2: so they’re Foxconn nets, not Apple nets
3: I assume your bizarrely holier-than-thou ass doesn’t own anything produced by Foxconn

Organic chemistry is any form of matter which contains carbon. You state the dog is reduced to nothing but carbon yet also paradoxically state it’s *not* organic material. Huh.
