It makes sense. Their only real opposition to solar power has been the fact that it’s not a fossil fuel, and the fossil fuel industry had enough money to keep the republicans in their pocket. Now that solar companies have some money, they can afford to buy some Republicans.
Solar power fits the conservative mindset a lot better than wind (or honestly even coal). You probably aren’t going to power your own house on wind or coal, but you absolutely could on solar. Solar works better collectively, but it’s still pretty easy to set up a house as your own personal fiefdom. Once you have assured that you will never run out of power, you can start undermining collectivised energy infrastructure.
The hate on offshore wind i think is literally just rich people not wanting them in their sight.
That’s why there’s always the argument that the country should not be called “America”. English speaking countries split North and South America as separate continents, so America the country does not get confused with America the continent. In Spanish (might be regional), it’s all one continent, so someone saying that they are from “America” doesnt narrow it down to a country.
I think it’s fine to just have different conventions in different languages. If you want country names to be 100% unambiguous in all languages, you basically have to change the name of half of the countries out there. E.g., “Deutschland” could refer to all germanic-speaking countries, but everyone recognizes that it just means Germany.
Podcasting. He has a trivia-type show called “lateral”.
In addition to the leather stuff the other commenter mentioned, foam gets compressed during usage (especially running shoes with a lot of foam). It can take several days for the foam to recover. If you run in the same shoes every day, you aren’t getting the full benefit of the foam, and you are basically beating it while it’s already down.
There are a couple things that others haven’t pointed out. First, Erdoğan has more power in turkiye than the president has in America (for now).
Second, individual states are not subordinate to the federal government; they have their own powers. Anything not specifically granted to the federal government is controlled at the state level. Healthcare is one of those things. There are some hooks the federal government can use to control parts of healthcare, but not the whole system.
There are some states with much better healthcare systems than others (like Massachusetts). Massachusetts is a fun example because their health care system was established by a Republican governor, and then a watered down version was implemented at the federal level as Obamacare, to the ire of the Republicans.
“Freedom from” as opposed to “freedom to” is not something the American mind can comprehend.
There was buycott. I dont think it’s been developed for 10 years now.
Flying is not low likelihood of death. Commercial passenger aviation is.
Private planes crash and kill their occupants fairly often.
Commercial flight is safe just because there are so many regulations that are (were?) strictly followed. If you really wanted to reduce auto deaths, you could absolutely regulate it down to the same risk as commercial aviation, but that would nerf the purpose of a car to the point that no one would actually use them.
Broadly speaking, the way regulations are written is according to our appetite for risk of death in that medium. Modes where you have some appearance of like cars and bikes see high acceptance of risk while modes where you are strictly “along for the ride” see low acceptance.
Soup is about just throwing in whatever you have. Generally, if there’s some kind of a meat/bones, gelatin will give the broth body. If it’s more of a bean or potato situation, you may need to pull a portion out, mash it up, and add it back in to give body. You could also temper some eggs and add them in.
If you dont have gelatin or something starchy, you can add a cornstarch slurry to thicken it. If you have a really thin broth, it won’t taste right even if it would otherwise be really tasty. Taste is an amalgamation of senses, and texture is part of that.
Acidity definitely helps soups. Brothy beans are great with a little vinegar, some soups are good with lemon, etc.
