A plan or program to accomplish a goal is a scheme, whether it's beneficial or not.

Handing out flyers that properly define what socialism and communism are with the intent of educating people that they aren't the boogeyman is still passing out propaganda, even if it's beneficial and correct.

So yes, scheme is appropriate.

This is such a weird comment, full of "NiCd batteries aren't good enough so solar/wind are useless because we can't store the power" energy.

It's a test reactor, it's meant to be smaller than the "big boys", and in a few years it'll be smaller and more efficient.

Sure, it's not going to singlehandedly power an entire country, but distributed power is better than localized. 1000 small reactors placed all over means less likelihood of system wide failure than a handful of large ones.

Don't judge until you try some ghost dick for yourself.

That's why I specified or wingtip vortex.

In some situations you can see a trail behind a wingtip that can persist. although doesn't leave the huge vapor cloud that lingers for hours, I have heard plenty of ~~people~~ conspiracy nuts refer to them as "Chem trails" right along with the actual contrail. Living near an airport, you get all kinds of crazy.

If the state decides to ignore any kind of court telling them otherwise, then I would imagine Florida would no longer have flyovers from any airline, and any aircraft capable of producing a contrail or wingtip vortex would no longer operate in the state.

Goodbye florida airports, I guess.

Well, I know what other video I'm never watching.

And people wonder why I don't like being around any vehicle that carries things...

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 18 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

If it's what I'm thinking of, camera footage of a vehicle interior.

Driving down the highway, going under an overpass when a brick gets tossed by some kids and goes through the window.

Passenger hit, husband is driving and screams.

You know that scream they mention in The Princess Bride? That "only someone experiencing ultimate suffering" can make?

If you know, you know.

That's how I've been pronouncing it in my head when I read it.

I still say "Twitter" though because that and the gulf of Mexico are the only things I feel are okay to deadname.

I tried being a moderator on a forum once, and after alerting admins and the FBI about csam less than a week in, I decided I was done being a moderator.

It was a forum for RC stuff, mostly diy rc planes.

Unfortunately, therapy only helps you cope, it doesn't let you forget.

Even IF we are ALLOWED to vote next year and beyond, and IF we manage to pull our heads out of our asses, we will be fixing this mistake for decades.

And if we aren't allowed to vote.... Well, I hope we remember the cure for fascism soon. Actually strike that, it implies I'm willing to wait 1-3 years to find out, I want the people to remember the cure now.

I can only imagine what bullshit I'm going to hear over the next few years about why the US isn't doing well but the EU and Canada are.

When someone informs him it's named after a person he will demand that this domestic terrorist be brought in for impeachment and deported, not understanding why none of that makes sense

Hi, gender is a spectrum and while I fully identify as male and straight*, I had long hair as a child. If my school had tried to cut my hair by force, I would have absolutely thrown hands, and I was not a small child. Apparently I pushed a teacher into a wall as a first grader but I have no memory of doing so.

Hair is not "gender conforming" unless you're the most vanilla, thinks-flour-is-spicy, "mayonnaise has too much flavor" basic bitch in the universe. If you really think hair has two genders "long and short" then you are just the saddest sack of shit.

Hair is whatever the fuck you want it to be. I decided I didn't want long hair anymore, so I started getting it cut short. I even had it around 1/4in at one point just because of how easy it was to be done with. Now it's long because before I got married, my now-wife said she liked when it was longer, so I'm growing it out again until we decide it's long enough or I get tired of it again. If I wanted to shave most of it right now, I can do that. Nobody controls my hair but me, and nobody has any say in how I keep it, short of safety concerns. (protip: hair ties and a hair net when working with rotary tools, once you've seen a video you never want it to happen to you)

Get the fuck out of here with this weak ass bullshit policing children's hair.

They won't be happy until everyone is a straight white silent and obedient clone of each other.

*It's a spectrum, sometimes I want to feel pretty so if you had to stick me in a hole I'd say I'm straight but I'm sure someone could make a convincing argument that I'm at least a little fluid.
