This may sound good, but what does it actually mean?
In truth, there is no Russian politics. There is no party, no opposition party, no political opponent.
There is one man, Putin, whose will is the only element in what could be called “Russian politics.” If he wants it, it happens.
The video below covers the pros and cons of hydrogen as a carrier of energy in a fair and honest fashion, and that’s not something that can be said about every attempt to address the subject.
As a quick reminder:
Grey hydrogen = the steam reformation of methane, producing CO2 that is released into the atmosphere. (more…)
Sorry, I can’t edit the meme so as to adjust the grammar, i.e., the agreement of subject and verb, but what Browder said is worth considering nonetheless.
We’re totally surrounded by moral atrocities, starting with treason here at home. Moreover, what Putin is doing is not the only example of war criminality in our lifetimes.
Yet it’s hard to know what we should have been done about Bosnia & Herzegovina, Kosovo, Rwanda, Yemen, Cambodia, and the others.
Here, however, it’s crystal clear that every single one of us should be doing whatever we can to weaken Russia. That means all American companies should cease doing business with the world genocide capital.
From this:
New text messages obtained by the January 6 committee show Trump’s closest circle was strategizing to overturn the 2020 election before the votes were even counted.
Wait a second. Isn’t attempting to overthrow the United States government a crime?
When we were young, our history books made it fairly clear that treason was a crime whose criminal penalties were equal to that of murder.
Now, this is totally nebulous. Is it OK, as long as you have enough political support?
I have to think we’re very close here.
There are no interpretations of what they did that don’t include the commission of numerous felonies.
I can only imagine the look on her parents’ faces when their pretty, young, college-educated daughter brings this thing home to meet mom and dad for the first time.
Regarding the meme here, a reader notes:
Let’s start by admitting the obvious: Thomas Paine was a great thinker, but he never held any high public office .
Having said that, consider how few of those who rise in American politics today think like this. The precise opposite could be argued, i.e., that making progress in political life absolutely requires one to pander for approval.
It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that there actually are leaders of countries that are fairly inconsequential on the global scene, say New Zealand or Iceland, who live lives according to this principle. Voters in these countries are generally intelligent and kind people, and the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people leave them alone.
But where there’s a great deal of money at stake, self-interest can’t be far behind.
From this:
It’s not like you can make food out of thin air. Well…it turns out you can. A company from Finland, Solar Foods, is planning to bring to market a new protein powder, Solein, made out of CO₂, water and electricity. It’s a high-protein, flour-like ingredient that contains 50 percent protein content, 5–10 percent fat, and 20–25 percent carbs. It reportedly looks and tastes like wheat flour, and could become an ingredient in a wide variety of food products after its initial launch in 2021.
There is no reason this can’t happen, but there is certainly a reason it won’t, and that is the cost of energy.
Just like all the various concepts for synthetic fuels, if you rearrange the atoms in CO2 and water, you have the potential to wind up with hydrocarbons and carbohydrates. Add in nitrogen, which composes 78% of our atmosphere, and it’s theoretically possible to build proteins.
The issue, again, is that all these processes are highly endothermic, meaning that huge amounts of energy are required to make them happen.
Concepts like lab-grown meat (aka “meat without slaughter”) are far more feasible, in that they start with actual animal proteins.
It’s funny, I had a premonition when I first heard the word “woke” that it was going to be co-opted by people who use the term “libtard,” i.e., hateful morons.
It has had the same fate as “fake news,” that originally referred to things like Fox News and other sources of “news” that have little or no basis in fact. Within a few weeks, Trump was calling the mainstream media “fake news,” and there was no way to recover the term.
