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.

Asks the fucking developer of lemmy if they’re lost. fucking lmao

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

A couple of the “mistakes” are actually just normal. The winglets one, the angle is maybe a little extreme, but planes have upturned winglets. The asymmetric engines, that’s one way to transport a jet engine, just bolt it onto the wing of a plane.

Any mention of Baltimore.

FUCK YOU, BALTIMORE!

That I’ll get food lodged in my throat and my survival will be determined by how well I can thrust myself onto the back side of a chair before I pass out. A tough ask when you’re short.

The fact that dialects of AAVE can convey meaning in a more complex manner than other dialects of English would never cross this genius’ mind.

No, any differences exhibited in AAVE must be incorrect and spoken by the daft /s

You’re ascribing traits common to AAVE as being associated with lesser intelligence. Think about what that says about you. And that’s not even my dialect, dipshit.

“Proper spelling and grammar” according to whom? Is the example you gave incorrect, or just a different dialect of English? AAVE, for example, often gets delegitimized because black people are supposedly less educated, can’t speak “properly”, whatever. But the thing about that is AAVE has its own unique grammar quirks, like habitual “be” as in “I be working”.

As well, my own dialect has quirks that sound wrong to American ears, (such as the very start of this sentence) but if you try and correct me on them I will politely tell you to fuck an icicle.

The person who downvoted you thinks genocide is good.

You also don’t need a payment terminal. Even adoption of card payment in the West has never been fully ubiquitous (though it’s pretty close now) because of the need for a payment terminal.

If you’re a fan of customization and getting your home screen just how you like it, KLWP and Nova Prime.

Nova Prime is a launcher with a bunch of customization options for how your app drawer works, how apps are laid out, how big they are, how folders look, etc. I use it for the fact that i can set folders to have the icon of the first app inside, and a gesture so that tapping them opens that app, while swiping up opens the folder.

KLWP is essentially Rainmeter for Android.

YMMV depending on your phone manufacturer (or, really, the OS). Some are too locked down to use Tasker, or need annoying workarounds to let it always run.

I don’t speak Spanish, but is there a reason this works well as a mnemonic? Like is there a reason you can’t misremember it as la izquierda oprime y la derecha libera? Because the English phrase works by alliteration.

Edit: i guess if you think of it in terms of politics that helps

It’s easier to just remember a few key values and estimate based on those. I know the conversions for every ten degrees Celsius from -10 to 30
