Food is not taxed in the US. At least in my state.
Especially considering the community already fractured with onehindrednintysix being formed
Your nation provides 90% of the electricity we consume
That is completely false. In 2023 the US generated 4257 TWh compared to Canada's 615 TWh. The US only had a net import of 19 TWh
We have both sugar free and full sugar. I want to say the sugar free is more popular but I don't pay that much attention.
I think it's important to point out as well that there is a mesiarble difference between between the permittivity of free space and air. But to your point the difference is quite small: e_r air is 1.0006 whereas e_r freespace is 1.
While temperature and pressure do have an effect on e_r air I don't know enough to say that net movement of the particles in one direction would have a measurable effect. My instinct is no.
Looks like lukewarm_ozone proved me wrong. https://lemmy.today/comment/13053868
A quick Google search shows birdshot has an effective rang on the order of 40 - 50 yards. Now, you still have to be competant with a shotgun, but the public perception of shotguns is generally skewed. They have a much tighter spread and longer range than movies and games would have one believe.
More give doctors the right to treat their patients
Mildly fitting though. "Ecological collapse is imminent; please buy more products."
Exactly. It's the apithetic and doomer non-voters that are the real issue in US elections. Voter turn out is usually abhorrently low.
People can have all the fights they want about third party votes for president and other high offices, but third parties have great potential to make local/regional change. Sometimes it feels like people forget there is more than just a president in this country.
Not all leftists are tankies. This is a pretty standard take on the failures of capitalism.
I'm very skeptical of the actual benefit of something like this.
The 6GW system would be made up of pairs of cables stretching about 3,500km across the North Atlantic.
I don't see much benefit unless this becomes cheaper than the cost of building and running the equivalent generation (about two large plants.) Ohio's data center load alone is projected to increase by about 4.5 GW by 2030.
If security was your top priority, surely decentralized microgrids with widely dispersed battery grid storage would be much more effective?
I'd say so, and it seemed like that was the way the industry was trending about 10 years ago but it seems like the large data center demand stalled that considering some of the facilities could use their own generation plant. Plus, the United States already has a precedent of substations being taken down by gun toting idiots.
Are there any better alternatives? Ace hardware doesn't participate in the Coporate Equality Index either, and TrueValue only has a score of 50 while Home Depot is 45.
