partial_accumen , to politics in Gay Louisiana doctor says he’s leaving the state over its ‘discriminatory’ legislation

We’re not in the dystopian future yet I was describing. We’re at possibly the middle point between what was, and what will be. The “what will be” would be when that utopia exists.

There are lots of dystopian futures where the healthy and technologically advanced separated themselves from the unwashed, uneducated, and violent masses. Elysium is a popular film that uses this trope. We always assumed that the healthy and technologically advanced people created their utopia and pushed out the masses. In these fictional stories, I never considered the possibility that the masses would push out the healthy and technologically advanced people to their utopia and the masses were left to wallow in their own filth by their own choice.

I’m interested in hearing from all 9 justices why they believe the Supreme Court should be immune to the same Code of Ethics that all Federal Judges are bound. A number of the Justices used to be Federal Judges I believe. What did they see that was so horrible about the Code of Ethics that they believe the USA is better off without Justices being bound by this well tested and established Code of Ethics?

partial_accumen , to news in We’re now finding out the damaging results of the mandated return to the office–and it’s worse than we thought

Unispace found that nearly half (42%) of companies with return-to-office mandates witnessed a higher level of employee attrition than they had anticipated.

One aspect these articles don’t usually address beyond the attrition rate, is the quality of those leave is usually the highest. So its a double whammy. Not only are you losing workers, you’re losing your best workers. Those best workers have mobility because they are in demand for their skills or ability to execute. So what an employer is left with is even worse, many of those remaining that are lower skilled or less ambitious so their can’t leave or choose not to because they aren’t interested in high achievement at work.

The company’s most valuable asset is their workers. Return-to-office is a loud screaming message to all the company’s workers that “butts in seats” or extraction of the worker’s dollars for corporate tax cuts from municipalities are more important that the worker’s comfort and preference. That leads to the death of companies.

Right? They didn’t pay the rabbit tax.

partial_accumen , to world in Ship sailing from Israel becomes the first to break Russia’s grain blockade

If something happens it will just monitor the status as I thought those didn’t even have weapons.

Poseidon would be able to say: “right before the Israeli grain ship was struck, exploded and sunk, we tracked an alpha class sub that entered from X direction a Y speed. We saw it discharge 2 torpedoes and seconds later the grain ship exploded. We then tracked the sub as it turned back to Sevastopol. Here you can see in the pictures as it surfaced before entering the harbor.”

Russia would have attacked a civilian transport of Israel live on camera. Countries take action with things like that.

Lots of undeveloped land exists in Montana today. According the above meme, I would be in my rights to just set up shop on a bunch of empty undeveloped land and start setting up industry and civilization. If ownership of the Algonquian tribes didn’t apply to early American ancestors, then surely the same rules apply to some one else in Montana that claims to have a deed in an office somewhere else in the state.

partial_accumen , to world in NASA hears ‘heartbeat’ of Voyager 2 after losing communication | CNN

“History records a small previously unknown town and school outside London was decimated in 2053 when NASA space probe Voyager 2 inexorably changed course doing a U-turn beyond the Termination Shock of our Solar system and started accelerating quickly back toward Earth. At the time of impact Voyager 2 was traveling faster that 35,000 miles per hour.”

“While scientists continue to argue over what principle was at play here even calling into question a number of established cosmological models, witnesses say that 50 years prior a young man was seen pointing a stick at the sky and yelling ‘Accio Voyager 2!’. This has been dismissed as coincidence as the world still came to terms with the loss of so many lives. Prime Minister and our Dark Lord Voldemort, may he live forever, was unavailable for comment.”

Its even amazing to understand that it is one of only two man made object that are no longer in our Solar System. Both passed beyond our sun’s solar winds years ago.

partial_accumen , to news in For the Love of God, Stop Microwaving Plastic

It boils down to “don’t microwave plastics that aren’t microwave safe” What a fucking revelation

The main plastic the article calls into question is polypropylene. I’ve got bad news for you. Its used frequently in microwavable food products and sold as “microwave safe”. Polypropylene is recycle symbol #5.

Here’s a perfect example. That cup of rice is #5 plastic, polypropylene. You can see the package says right on it “Microwave for one minute”. This isn’t the only product I’ve seen with a polypropylene container. Here’s another one for BBQ pulled porkyou can even see on the package itself in the bottom right hand corner at the recycling symbol it says its polypropylene. And if you look at the preparation instructions it gives microwave directions.

I can’t speak to the science in the article, but it certainly is talking about a plastic that consumers are regularly told is safe to microwave.

partial_accumen , to technology in Limitless ‘white’ hydrogen under our feet may soon shatter all energy assumptions

Hydrogen is a pretty complicated gas to deal with. The flame is nearly invisible in daylight meaning you could be standing in a Hydrogen fire and only tell because your skin is burning off. The molecule is so small that its hard to contain it because seals leak. Storage of hydrogen is also a problem. The density is also very very low in both gaseous and cryogenic liquid form which means you have to have very large containers compared to most other fuels.

The article proposes to graduate hydrogen to a utility grade fuel, which isn’t impossible, its just really really hard, and other alternatives are much easier to accomplish the same goal.

One approach may be to located hydrogen combustion or hydrogen fuel cells very close to the point of extraction turning it into electricity as soon as possible. That would bypass most of the storage challenges at least. However, this idea comes with its own challenges as hydrogen extraction points may not be near utility grade power lines for transport of the electricity produced.

partial_accumen , to worldnews in Dead EV batteries turn to gold with US incentives

But my question is why even make the qualifier ‘US made’ if foreign made batteries qualify? Don’t lie, just say they’re battery recycling regardless of origin.

The for the tax credit rule is:

  • New batteries manufactured in the USA
  • New batteries manufactured in the USA or outside the USA, but recycled in the USA

The reason “Batteries manufactured outside of the USA” doesn’t count is because it does nothing to incentives battery manufacturing or recycling in the USA.

I think your complaint is really with the wording the author of the article chose. Here’s straight from the US Treasury department on the Inflation Reduction Act:

“To meet the critical mineral requirement and be eligible for a $3,750 credit, the applicable percentage of the value of the critical minerals contained in the battery must be extracted or processed in the United States or a country with which the United States has a free trade agreement, or be recycled in North America—as mandated by the Inflation Reduction Act.”

No ambiguity in that wording.
