It works well the bolognese or other particularly saucey sauces, not sure how it could work with something like carbonara. Also, weird thing, you can put pasta sauce on things other than pasta (?!?!) such as potatoes or eggs.
Make your own junk food that isn’t actually junk, like, I make a bunch of bean burritos and freeze them, or fill an ice cube tray with pasta sauce and pop out and nuke the cubes to add to some pasta.
So fun fact about the Supreme Court, no where in the constitution does it say they have the right to strike down laws for being “un-constitutional” they just kind of have them selves that right.
KSP with the realism overhaul mod and realistic progression 1.
I just never get over the beauty of seeing a dual centaur upper stage gently drift away from an atlas booster before lighting up those stunning twin blue flames, careening deep in to the abyss of space.
I don’t believe in restricting who can vote or who can run. Doesn’t matter how qualified or unqualified someone might be, if voters choose them, then then that is that.
The real issue here is that our voting systems are so broken and corrupted that the preference of voters is nearly never actually relevant to the outcome. Banning older people from running or putting in term limits won’t change that.
Term limits are particularly harmful because they exaggerate the “revolving door” problem, a legislator that know they don’t have to run again has no reason to listen to the public in their final term, instead their incentive is to line up another job for when it is over, such as with companies that are lobbying them.
Green representatives are also extremely prone to being manipulated by experienced lobbyists as well, and term limits on legislators will drastically increase the amount of green legislators.
Age limits and term limits are both bad ideas, but people who are in terminal mental decline should not be legislators, but it is up for their constituents to make that call.
Yah I think we should, it was literally just put in place because some people realized that a genuinely popular president could make serious positive changes that undermined extant power structures.
If a totalitarian president were to take control of the government enough to continuously win elections without popular support, they could certainly ignore a term limit, so all it really does is prevent the public from re-electing presidents they legitimately like.
I’d say we need to go one further than ranked choice to multi member districts with ranked choice voting, that way even those groups who aren’t a majority still get represented but larger groups get a roughly proportional amount of representation.
I don’t think putting age limits on public officials would fix the underlying problems with US politics, the fact that he can keep winning despite his incompetence and policy being anathema to the interest of his voters suggest much larger issues in the news and voting systems.
Even if we banned everyone over the age of 70 from being a legislator, we’d just have younger fecal stains getting elected by the same broken systems and pushing the same bad policy.
Oh yah, much heavier, and lower max thrust to, but the whole package is still much lighter considering the huge fuel savings which are most of the mass of the vehicle anyways.
Generally they are mainly intended for longer range missions or where a lot of big maneuvers need to be made. So something that needs to ferry cargo to the moon and back would be an excellent use case.
You can have people in power and have them not abuse it assuming that the public in turn has the power and information to remove or reprimand them them when they do so.
Obviously that can be difficult to implement well but it is far from impossible.
There are plenty of older politicians who have good stances on those issues, and plenty of younger politicians with abhorrent views.
Sure, older politicians are more likely to have outdated views, but if the voters oppose those views than they should vote them out.
The issue of so many politicians being old and out of touch with the values of the citizens is merely a symptom of large problems in the electoral process and those issues would persist even if all the legislators had to be young.
Frankly, I oppose term limits as well, if people want to keep electing a politician they like, they should be able to, and it’s really anti-democracy to insist they have to pick someone new after an arbitrary amount of time.
The issues with bad politicians are not coming from them being allowed to keep running, it’s that the systems around elections are so broken that bad politicians can keep winning.
The funny thing is, the “term limits for legislators” and “age limits for legislators” did not come out of left wing theorists or even social liberal theorist, they came from Koch funded think tanks like the heritage foundation! It’s another example of how effective astroturfing and targeted political “advertising” can be at manipulating both side of the political spectrum.
Eh, frankly, I’m not a big fan of age limits or term limits, I think they’re fundamentally undemocratic. If people in a state keep electing someone then it is their right to do so.
Banning people over a certain age or who have served a certain amount of terms doesn’t solve the core issue in such circumstances, that being gerrymandering, voter suppression, and wide spread misinformation and disinformation spread by bad actors. There are plenty of old representatives and senators who I have endless respect and trust for, and it would really be a shame if they were forced to leave office just because they hit some arbitrary number of years or terms.
These kinds of engines get about double the exhaust velocity of high efficiency conventional rockets. (A hydrolox engine like that used on the space shuttle or the centaur upper stage getting an exhaust velocity of about 4500 m/s and a nuclear thermal getting about 8000m/s)
Personally I’m a big fan of the nuclear salt water rocket, because nothing says exhaust velocity like a continuous Chernobyl accident out the back of a rocket nozzle.
I mean, you will always need a propellant, E=MC^2 after all, even if you’re Pushing with light, you’re still losing mass as you expel that out the back, no matter how you cut it.
The real question is how much work you’re getting out of each unit of mass you toss out they back, and that depends on how fast you toss it. These kinds of engines (nuclear thermal engines) get about expel their reaction mass at about 8000 meters per second, the most efficient conventional engine pushes exhaust out at about 4500 meters per second. So, you’re getting a. It less than twice as much change in the crafts speed per unit of mass used for these kinds of engines.
That may not seem like a game changer, but a 50% increase in efficiency rapidly compounds since most of the mass you’re trying to move with propellant is… well other propellant.
