You’re thinking of Italians. While some ‘german’ ethnicities were indeed swarthy whites along side Nordic countries in the 1700s, nearly all were included in the white umbrella by the start of the 1800s. Italians, Irish, and Mediterranean whites took well into the 20th century to be white.
Almonds are the single most wasteful crops in terms of water usage, regardless of how you measure it. Less water is wasted on the entirety of pig and chicken farming combined, than is wasted on almonds.
Alfalfa is awful, almonds are pointlessly, ridiculously bad.
Good. Alfalfa is right up there with almonds as one of the most wasteful crops in existence.
That would be wonderful if it were true, getting aipac out of the dem party would be one of the best things to have ever happened in US politics, that’s simply not the case.
Netanyahu’s favourite in France, Marine Le pen, is now permanently barred from government. The far right in France, in general, is failing. This is simply fascist consolidation of liberals. The same thing always happens as fascism approaches being accepted widely. Liberals are exclusively the ones with the will and power to hand over the keys of power to fascists.
That’s a matter of changing the PID compensations, it’s not a difficult problem. Do you think all drones can do a barrel roll? There are nonagile drones in operation right now, in swarm configurations. Not as large as a car, but again, that’s a matter of tweaking the PID, nothing more or less.
To put it another way you don’t restart learning how to drive a car each time you drive a new car. You tweak your internal pids to that of the new car. The difference is humans are stupid, slow, and have terrible coordination that can’t be immediately transferred over a fleet.
And they communicate in real time while individually checking their collision sensors for non swarm obstacles. The technology is 100% there, the flight capabilities do not matter nor the fact it’s a passenger vehicle; we have the algorithm and sensor packages right now to do what you think is a hundred years away.
I would argue axels came first, and the wheel is a derivative. See the likely methods accepted by (non ancient alien) archeologists for paleolithic to bronze age wonders made from stone; they used logs on the ground as rollers, essentially an axel, it wouldn’t take much of a leap to carve out the majority of those logs to lighten the load, creating a fixed wheel axel, which just needs a semipermanent but smooth rolling attach point to a vehicle or tool to be even more useful.
No I’ve just been to countries that aren’t stupid enough to have overhead power lines anywhere near residential or commercial properties, even in rural communities. The amount of money you save by being lazy with overhead lines is eaten up by the constant repair and maintenance, and in a competent country, health costs that they inevitably cause.
Underground lines are the only sensible solution. I mean you should be generating power that far from its primary draw anyway.
With enough grease any old stick can be an axle for a while, the wheel is the hard part.
Why would they fly into the deep rural country side where power lines exclusively are?
Drone swarms already exist. And they work better than self driving cars
Most people in most of history don’t want that. Or at least not enough to make their life immeasurably worse.
The list of us interventions ending in the installation of a dictator is has more entries than the total number of countries on the planet. It cannot be overstated how many dictators the US has directly, explicitly supported and installed.
Hell we usually end up fighting them, because they stop paying whatever we charged for installing them.
Nearly all of them installed and empowered by the US.
You quite literally don’t need that, you just need both large options to fail obviously, as they are. People will seek out alternatives and there will be enough that aren’t disillusioned with electoralism that go for that option.
You cant organize on a large scale in the US, you get assassinated if you survive the character assassination.
For example, I bet you still think stein is a Russian spy or spoiler candidate.
Hard disagree, as again, the republican party exists. It was a third party.
Practically no one votes strategically. The vast majority of voters vote the same as their parents and/or peers. The extreme minority of voters that care about issues vote for whatever party of the two that suits them best at the time.
But bigger than all these groups are the eligible voters that think nothing will change because people like you tell them they only have two options, so they don’t vote.
Because neither option is good. There is Nazi, and there is the group that appoints nazis. Both exist solely for their own power and wealth. Neither help people until the riots get too violent. So why vote. Why care?
So either we introduce a third party or more, and maybe give some hope, or we let the uniparty continue to win and we all have to survive a balkanized US when it collapses.
I’m doing the opposite. The fascist us has always excluded voters and its vote collecting and counting system is inherently insecure. Hell poll intimidation has been such a huge issue historically there are laws against it that are plainly ignored in red states.
The US, by no possible definition, does not have free nor fair elections. It has always been the worst implementation of democracy, oligarchy.
Europe would be the worst pick for Harris. Maybe the Philippines or other thinly disguised police state.
Exactly the opposite of reality. FPTP does not preclude third parties from winning, hence the existence of the republican party. It does mean you have to vote your principles and not strategically vote. If everyone voted for the party that most closely aligned with their principles, neither the Dems or repubs would ever wing the presidency and would never hold a majority in any Congress at any level.
The guys that stole automatic weapons and fired on civilians?
