There's no karma to be had here, this is the end game. The Republicans have been working to dismantle the government for decades. Every piece that can be sold off to private enterprise will, regulation will be gutted, and consequences be damned.

The fall of the US is now inevitable. There is no future for anyone here that isn't already rich. Leave if you can.

For the intelligent, critical thinking ones sure. Of course the rest of their education is designed to prevent that whenever possible.

I like to think of myself as reasonably intelligent and self-aware, but it took me about 15 years after moving out of my childhood home to fully break free of the indoctrination I'd received.

Funny. I primarily used Startpage for the last few years, but have had increasing problems with them providing bad/irrelevant results and frequently straight-up blocking my IP or requiring completion of a CAPTCHA before providing results. I switched to DDG, which has been working pretty well, and seems much better to me than it had when trying it a few years ago.

I doubt it's about that. Putin wants a friendly administration in the White House that would reduce/eliminate sanctions, stop supporting Ukraine, and look the other way when Russia grabs more land.

Gaza is one of the areas where Biden is the weakest, and Putin is surely doing everything in his power to make Gaza an issue that loses Biden votes.

It is impossible to precisely estimate engine thrust in horsepower.

...But the article then goes to on to provide an estimate.

How accurate is the lb thrust to hp conversion?

The conversion is highly accurate within the context of theoretical calculations. However, real-world factors like engine efficiency, atmospheric conditions, and aerodynamic drag can affect actual performance.

Also weird that the article compares the power output of 777 engines at cruise against that of the a380's engines at takeoff. If the point of this article is to juxtapose power output with the automotive figures we're familiar with, that's like giving a figure of "a Toyota Camry only makes 35 horsepower while driving at a steady speed down the highway". While perhaps factual, it just makes the comparison more confusing. And if the point is to put the power of aircraft engines into terms we're familiar with, well automotive engines are pretty much advertised by their maximum output.

My boomer in-laws have voted D their entire lives, but are considering voting Trump because they think Biden is too liberal. They are not as unusual as you might think.

Username does NOT check out.

It looks like there's buds on it. It's fine. It will flower first, and then leaves will start to come in.

Seems to be a 'late bloomer', I don't know enough about the particulars of your climate of this specific tree to speculate on why.

Takes me about 2 seconds with a 5lb steel mallet.
