Yeah! Why should political parties have to earn your vote in a democracy? Democracy is when you are coerced into voting by a party rather than the party earning your vote by doing things you want.

The difference in relative acceleration implied by the meme is on the order of tens of yoctometres (10⁻²³ m) per second per second.

It's a difference so small that it would be overshadowed by the fact that you're holding one object femtometres (10⁻¹⁵ m) higher or lower than the other in the gravitational field.

Additional sources of error to consider at this scale might be the heat radiation from the surroundings providing radiation pressure on the object, the sloshing of Earth's core causing time-dependent variations in the gravitational field, the location-dependent variations in the Earth's gravitational field, and the difference in centrifugal (yes, centrifugal in this reference frame) force due to latitude differences of one micrometre, and also due to natural variations in the rate of Earth's rotation over time.

An embargo would imply its just America that can't trade with Cuba. In reality, almost nobody can trade with Cuba, because any ship that does cannot enter American ports to trade with America.

It may not be a blockade by the dictionary definition, but it's certainly not just an embargo.

I am also aware that they are spelled the same, but I consciously use a U only for the organism.

For what it's worth, I'm Canadian, so nobody would bat an eye here at using either the American or British spelling of things.

Nuclear is too expensive to run in the short term. Nuclear plants only start being profitable after like 10 years. But then they're really fucking profitable. So it makes sense a company could go bankrupt when you're 10 years in the red.

Also, on the topic of flexibility, this is only true for, like, 70s era nuclear. France has had load-following nuclear for some time now. Does it follow second-to-second variations? No, but it can load follow on the scale of the daily variations in demand.

One. I was tired of their posts never loading for whatever reason and they were a prominent poster in a community.

I've heard that newer generations are becoming less tech literate on average than previous generations. They don't try to fix their device, they just expect it to work. When it doesn't, they don't have the troubleshooting skills to fix it. They never had the opportunity to learn them.

You act like your argument is infallible lmao the SCOTUS is so important and yet the Democrats refuse to pack the courts because it's not the right thing to do according to some bullshit idea of playing by the rules.

The Roe v Wade decision and the Chevron decision literally happened under Biden, a democrat. Before you butter up the Democrats as the second coming of Christ, consider that the Democrats are literally in power and have been for the last four fucking years of hell. It's not that those decisions don't matter, it's that the venn diagram of what your vote can possibly do, and the ways to reverse those decisions, it looks like this: O O
