It's not gonna explode though, it'll slowly grow until it reaches out to the outer planets, then collapse into a white dwarf that will slowly cool for eons.

Do they still teach that?

Nobody talks like that and they(singular) has been common since the 1300s.

It's the thing you use to create a local copy of the main code base, and then merge your changes back in.

OP hasn't done anything, and there's 7 conflicts between his code and main. Presumably because someone else merged their changes in the time between when OP pulled his local copy and tried to push his (non-existent) changes.

Those other entries are all insane.

Like OK I can understand stealing a loose hair, kinda creepy but w/e, but her shoe? Is this some kind of gaslight where she thinks nobody would steal only one shoe, so it must be around somewhere, then a week later you can be like "Hey, I found this shoe, it looks alot like your old shoes? btw, why do you keep rubarb in your shoes?" and "What/who are you getting 9 units of fresh blood from?"

Any kind of "no u" clapback isn't productive.

Rather it's better to point out that tankies are absolutely vindicated by history because we've seen what counterrevolutions look like in Indonesia, Chile, and Korea.

If they squirm around with "actually tankie means that you support AUTHORITARIAN states like RUZZIA", it just gives you more opportunities to dunk on them for lying about what MLs actually believe, and for implicitly supporting NATO by pointing at what every single place NATO has defensively bombed looked like before and after.

Of course, always remember the person calling you a tankie doesn't actually care about the content of your arguments. You're not trying to change that person's view, you're trying to show everyone else how bloodthirsty and ignorant they are.

That's a cop-out. Why else would the companies agree to a fine for every bulb that exceeded a certain lifespan?

America's rail is almost all low-speed or higher-speed (125-150 mph, but much lower average speeds)

For comparison, China has built ~20,000 miles of HSR, much of which goes up to 220, some lines averaging 200 mph.

Wait until you find out why the lifespan was so low in Africa during that time

1923, virtually every capitalist country in the world had just invaded the USSR 5 years ago, Japan only pulled out in 1922.

The USSR being gone only becomes shocking post WWII when they went from an agrarian nation wracked by civil war and famine, with zero tractor factories to sending 100,000 tanks into Germany 20 years later to putting a man in space 20 years after that.

A company tried that in 1999/2000, just before the dot com bust.

You got a $500 PC for free, but were locked into a contract with an ISP and had to spend 10 hours a week on the PC, and 1/3 of the screen was ads at all times.

We're moving in that direction, but nothing is free.

We mostly don't, neither do you.

Caliber is decimalized inches

Gauge is 1.67 over the cube root of the diameter in inches. Technically it's derived from lbs since the number refers to the number of lead balls the width of the barrel you'd need to equal 1 lb. Eg, a 12 gauge is the width of a 1/12th lb ball of lead.

Supposedly the temperature salt freezes at, but it's off by quite a bit. I'm not sure if it has any implications for staying warm in cold weather.

It's based on how humans react to the heat, you need active cooling such as sweat, moving air isn't enough above 100 degrees. 100% hot out is just a silly way of putting it.

Percent of how close it is to 100% hot out.

But in seriousness, 100 was supposed to be based on the human body temperature. When it's above 100, it's harder to cool yourself off.

It has never been literally boiling outside (except for when you're in the middle of a forest fire or next to a lava flow).

Besides, Fahrenheit is more scientific because it translates 1:1 to Rankine, where 0 is absolute zero.

If it's 0 F, it's 0% hot out. If it's 50 F, it's 50% hot out, if it's 100F, it's 100% hot out.

It's a more human measurement. Who the hell knows how long a kilometer or meter is? Everyone knows what a football field looks like and a yard is 1/100th of it.

Europeans acting smug like knowing how close to boiling the temperature is is more important than knowing how close to 100% hot out the temperature is.

They've got blast chillers, that are like air fryers/convection ovens, but cold.

If they didn't want to be gaslit, they wouldn't be using insight with 2 wis.

Fascists are incapable of objectively evaluating their enemies. Confront any pro-nato redditor with production stats or history and they will invent some shit about how the american military has secret wunderwaffen or american soldiers are just built different or they're lying about the results of their own war games or they didn't really lose every war since WWII.
