Well, let’s be fair and honest here.
Yes, Trump and his vice president ranted about the Haitians’ eating Ohioans’ dogs and cats, but the reason they did wasn’t because they were insane; it was a) their understanding that truth is irrelevant today, and b) that their supporters are stupid enough to believe anything that comes out of their mouths.
It’s disgusting, but it’s not entirely Trump’s fault.
Well, it’s real. It’s call piezoelectricity.
It’s the phenomenon where certain materials generate an electric charge when subjected to mechanical stress. Now, of course, the stress caused by falling raindrops is extremely small, so we’re talking about amounts of electrical energy that are of very little practical consequence when significant amounts of power are required.
But consider the microphone, whose duty is to turn sound vibrations into a few milliwatts. That’s where this excels, and it’s been in use for many decades.
So, is the claim here a lie? No. Is it misleading? Of course.
My son noticed that our neighborhood has fewer Trump signs than it did a few months ago.
I explained that it’s because the election is over, but that his supporters are just as hateful and ignorant as they were when they had Trump banners all over their front yards. I went on to observe that none of this stupidity would have happened when I was a little boy.
I’m trying to remember when, in elementary school, we learned about the three co-equal branches of the U.S. government, and I’m going to say it was somewhere around 5th grade.
The meme here is total BS. How do I know?
CO2 is one of the products (stuff on the right side of the arrow) in CH4 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O + energy, the combustion of methane, which is what happens on your gas stovetop. You get energy out of this process, in order to, say, boil water to make tea, which means you’re going to have to add energy if you want to have any chance of reversing it.
Coincidentally, a lady asked me just yesterday if, in our lifetimes, we’ll be able to use water as a fuel for cars. I said no, not in ours nor in anyone else’s lifetime, because water is a chemical that is the product of hydrogen coming into contact with oxygen.
This is what happens in a hydrogen fuel cell: you use energy to separate the hydrogen from the oxygen in water in a process called electrolysis. Then, the hydrogen atoms want to join the oxygen atoms to make water, so the hydrogen atoms spit out their electrons, which go through an electrical circuit, doing work of some kind, e.g. powering a car. The product is water, which drips out of the back of the car.
Think of fireplace logs and the ashes they leave. You burn logs, which contain chemical energy to, say, warm your home. You can’t burn ashes, since the energy has already been removed from them.
It’s so hard to be a self-respecting American with garbage like this happening on a day-to-day basis.
The hat shown here expresses a wish that most of us support, but one that seems unattainable at this point.
The concept of a “lying politician” has been around at least since the days of ancient Greece, but no one had cornered the market on the practice until Trump came along and told more than 30,000 falsehoods in his first term alone.
All this stupidity is not sustainable. It’s hard to know exactly when it will end, but slashing $1 from the federal budget to cut into a revenue stream 17 times larger and alienate tens of millions of people will not last forever.
The top brass of the U.S. military has an extremely negative viewpoint on the president and his personal character, which raises the question why his supporters don’t seem to care.
The author of the meme here posits that narcissism is required to be an anti-vaxxer, because without it, people would simply listen to the scientists who have spent their lives studying the subject.
True. But the same could be said about any area of inquiry. The reason I don’t believe that humans and dinosaurs were here on Earth at the same time is not that I’ve studied this subject personally; it’s that I’m content to listen to the paleontologists.
