Why do you think a war was started for no reason

95% of domestic manufacturing that remains is military shit. Can’t have China do the injection molding and machining for your top secret bombs meant to do genocide

This is specifically an optics move because they can’t pass it. Make headlines about this and a few other progressive moves in the run up to November and gain votes from the “fell for it again” neolib crowd. Then “whoops, 1-3 democrat senators are just real sticks in the mud and won’t go for it so I guess we give up”. Then frustration from the base and they eventually kill whatever momentum because they prove that when it comes to action they almost always cave. Then the gop sweeps up and regresses as much as possible.

Lieberman, sinema, manchin, now its fetterman. who will be the next “this 1-3 person group personally stops any and all progress in America for like a decade”. The ones that give those dumb neolibs ammo, because of course the party would do so much if it wasn’t for them and you just have to vote more so that the 1-3 person group can become a 3-5 person group

Right wing violence (which includes neo Nazis, fundamentalist Christians bombing abortion clinics, etc) and fundamentalist Islam attacks make up the overwhelming majority of political violence in the USA but left wing violence exists. And of that left wing violence the majority is what they call “ecoterrorism”

It’s not obscenely common (tbf no political violence is “extremely common” in America, statistically still very unlikely) but it does happen. It’s just far less publicized because “some people bombed an oil transport line/hummer dealership at night/etc” is not nearly as clickbaity as “weird scumbag with a manifesto about great replacement theory posted to 8chan shot 35 people”

Adding green energy at 8x the rate of the USA with a total of 3.89 terawatts, which is 3x larger than the entire USA energy grid, and accounting over 30% of the worlds spending towards green energy while the USA has less than 25% of the grid as green energy

Essentially ending homelessness

A notably lower prison population than the USA despite like 6x the population

A minimum wage set by provinces who are heavily encouraged to give increases every few years tied to inflation and cost of living

Actually working to shift a fee for service healthcare system to a socialized model with significant progress occurring

No airstrikes, bombings of another country, or declared wars since 1979. Even in terms of proxy wars post 1979 has been far more about economic support and diplomacy than shipping weapons

Etc etc but yes Xi and Trump are equivalent because they have a social credit score and government surveillance. That’s definitely not like the America, who has just normal credit scores, palantir, and a large chunk of your tax money funding proxy wars (and now actual war) instead of maintaining critical infrastructure or any quality of life improvements for its people.

In this photo it’s simply saying if you need 12v on the right dont use this power supply because it’ll go into the 5v side of whatever you’re powering. Keep in mind these are just standard din connectors. They’re not tied to a standard pinout and are used for all kinds of things

WRT your op it’s about current capacity of the connector. If I have a device that needs 12v at 8 amps but each pin is rated for max 5a I can deliver 12v at 4-5 amps through two pins and tie them both to the power rail on the pcb to get a full 8a capacity

It means do you sit or lie around most of the day. Do you have an office job where you sit at a computer all day then go home and play on your phone or whatever until you go to bed? That’s sedentary. If you exercise that’s good but if it’s something like a radiculopathy you’d benefit from seeing a physical therapist who can target the section of the back that is impacted (though you may need to start with primary care or orthopedic and mri). If it’s the other stuff treatment is generally medications and varies from stuff like NSAIDs or proton pump inhibitors (though if it’s gerd and you treat with NSAIDs that may worsen things)

Basically go see a doctor

Pleurisy, costochondritis, gerd, or referred pain from radiculopathy, maybe. Especially if you have a sedentary lifestyle or back trauma

That’s finasteride (blocking dht). Minoxidil is a vasodilator that increases follicle size. Otherwise what you wrote is basically correct

When I’ve worked with older trans clients spironolactone seems to be what really kickstarts hair growth, especially if they get it in before alopecia really sets in and miniaturizes follicles in a way that can’t be reversed (at least with current medications, and barring surgical intervention). Estrogen too. Either way you’re reducing the amount of androgens. As a result it can be much more effective than rogaine, which works as a vasodilator to enlarge hair follicles (probably, mechanism isn’t fully understood) or finasteride/propecia, which works by blocking androgen DHT rather than reducing it.

I’m not familiar with research on efficacy for this purpose but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was more effective. While some people have dramatic responses to minoxidil and finasteride many have a more minor response or none at all, even.

This thought process is basically what killed Michael Jackson

I will just give yoko taro my money if he does something, basically

Although imo replicant was better, albeit more tedious to get to the end. He really has a disdain for the people that consume his media and I love it

Ghost kitchens/fb marketplace food/etc are libertarian tech bros flouting government regulation regarding food safety by being like “oh well I don’t actually sell the food” and they 100% get away with it even though stopping the facilitation would be stupidly easy.

They’re testing the waters imo. How long until you can get unlicensed and untrained mental health care, physical health care, etc?

I genuinely wonder what the rate of food poisoning looks like with the rise of shit like doordash and uber eats
