  • Yeah, you're acting in bad faith here too.

    The numbers of votes clearly show over 24 million people sat out 2024 vs 2020.

    Undecided doesn't mean they'll make a decision on voting day.

    I know of several people who willingly sat out because the state they're in was always decided and they didn't feel it would matter.

  • I agree, optics matter to the public and media.

    The media has sane washed an insane old person, while negatively spinning or outright ignoring any Biden accomplishment.

    The fact is, in this system, we're trying to convince a small group of undecided folks in a few swing states to get involved and make a choice.

    The majority of the public is too tired and busy to bother to review the facts, and happy to watch an opinion of the matter - whether it's true or not.

    If it fits into their world-view there's no need to challenge it.

  • I'm partially agreeing, I want to point out that they did get 7 days allotted.

    Not all 7 of those are from sick time, so you've got a point.

    I find it a reach to say the administration gets no credit when it's definitely been assigned to them on multiple fronts for the effort.

    Congress was involved here too. Do you think our president should be a despot?

    Were you directly involved in negotiations?

    The people who were directly involved, gave the Biden administration credit for an assist.

  • It has its uses.
    Like most bespoke items they're good at some things, not everything.

    It's nice if you're trying to keep an indoor living space warm for a longer period, like overnight.

    They typically have a thermostat setting on it to maintain the temperature.

    It doesn't make the same noise as a blowing space heater, as there's usually not a fan. I've heard creaks and such from them.

    As noted, the radiative effect can last for a few hours depending on energy loss in the space.

  • Basically yes.

    It adds some efficiency because once you have a radiator full of hot oil in the radiator it tends to release the heat for a long while after the electric is shut-off.

    Most electric space heaters send a plume of hot air arcing upwards.

    You end up with a nice heat storage device to radiate warmth at the level you want to use it for longer than a normal resistive space heater using the same energy.

  • If you're asking in good faith.... Most of lemmy.ml is a tankie echo chamber that silences or outright bans any dissenting discussion.

    Try bringing up the facts surrounding Russia, China, Cuba, or North Korea...

    Only lies and good vibes for tankies are permitted.

  • If you're in an area that doesn't freeze you can keep the house cold and heat one room with an electric oil filled radiator very inexpensively.

    If you're in a place that freezes you need to keep the house warm enough to avoid freezing the water pipes.

    Otherwise have fun, heat one room and bundle up everywhere else.

  • Watch it. It's really there. Starts shortly after 44:34 (39:00) on the timestamp. That should be enough context.

    I searched for "One Rough Hour" in the transcript to find the section.

    *edit: A Clip that I found the quote directly from: https://x.com/Acyn/status/1840483582433009711

    *edit 2: I hate this speech. I hate C-Span's Text Links to Video Anchors. They're horrible. Another point at 39:00 exactly he says "See we have to let the police do their job, and if they have to be extraordinarily rough...

    <Crowd Applause>

    " *edit 3: At 41:00: "One Rough Hour.."

  • It's that I've been in schools with after school activities in the last year.

    Kids were popping chip bags and nobody drew weapons or jumped because of a loud pop that sounds nothing like a normal gunshot.

    I was in school before columbine ever happened.

    I don't think violence in is ok in most situations. I think America has a mental health and gun issue.

    I like the Capri Sun mylar things from a nostalgic perspective.

  • I was responding to you Coggy.

    There were drills where you were taught what to do in the event of a life threatening emergency.

    There were talks about nuclear events and preparation for scary things.

    There were school shootings before columbine.

    People didn't have national and international news poured into their faces as easily before.

    I mocked the confidently incorrect assumptions of American school history and celebration of personally enforced ignorance.
