The "refuses to elaborate" is simple, Mathew 25 31-46.

It quite clearly says that you are to welcome the immigrant, feed the poor, care for the sick, and visit the prisoners.

Failure to do any of that is a straight shot to hell, no matter how much you claim to love god, you actually have to do the work, or it's off to hell.

Fun fact, Mathew 25 is the only place in the bible that references sending ordinary people to hell. All that fire and brimstone, it's actually in that one passage. Nowhere else does hell show up for normal people, just fallen angles and shit.

It was one of the reasons I switched. That and my favorite mod manager is working on a Linux native version. It's not done yet, but it's good to play other games from time to time.

Valheim is pretty brutal, but also highly moddable.

And the second they get it, they reinvent IP law, but in an even more restricted form.

Pretty much the exact same except that Hitler was a hardened war veteran, and Trump has been a conman all his life. Most of Trump's cons were stupid and failed, but never quite hard enough for him to ever see consequences.

Hitler also went to prison for his coup attempt. It was a daycare style prison, but he still went.

Other than that, the similarities are striking. Likely because the only book that Trump in known to have read, is a copy of all of Hitler's speeches.

It's officially published. Look up the School of the Americas.

My reading of history is that Hitler failed because he was Hitler.

He was a powerful orator, and also a narcissistic man baby, high on his own self importance long before he was high on meth/cocaine/heroin/etc.

He was too paranoid to trust anyone more competent than he was, and he was fucking incompetent.

I could go on, but in short, Hitler was a conman who tapped into that special hatred that some people have in place of their hearts.

Wind and solar cannot set grid frequency.

They just can't. You need a turbine to set frequency.

And yes, the grid frequency matters.

So yes, we will always need a base load. And what better way than a small modular reactor, keeping the grid local and modular.

Or we can build out so much wind and solar that we have to have massive transmission lines running across the country, and then we would still need to curtail that power during peak supply, while also not getting enough generation when solar and wind fail.

And then you still need a turbine to set the grid frequency.

2040 huh?

My prediction is a record number of new plants going online in 2040.

Especially as there are literal factories being built to specifically crank out Small Modular Reactors.

We're looking at a future where every small town can have their own reactor, providing enough power for that town but not large enough to ever melt down.

If you need an egg stand in, there's the cheap plastic eggs. Which are available everywhere. So I too, doubt this story.

Funny you bring up that couple, because the lack of standards has a through line here.

A man named Roy Cohn was the prosecutor, and he wheeled and dealed to make sure that both Rosenbergs got the death penalty, even if the evidence was a bit weak, especially the evidence against Ethel. Cohn got witnesses to change their story so that he could push to kill Ethel.

Cohn then went on to help Joseph McCarthy run the Red, and Lavender Scares.

And then, later still, Roy Cohn would tutor Donald Trump in the art of personally attacking anyone who tried to enforce the law against him.

The piece of shit finally died of HIV,

The Marquis de Condorcet wrote about the evils of Christianity back in the 1790s.

He wrote about how it was a tool of oppression, not just of the person, but of the mind and spirit.

And nothing has changed in the last 200 years.

I watched the video. The wall would not fool a human with object permanence.

Anyone who is fooled, is likely impaired enough that they are not legal to drive.
