Everyone needs training for their job. If they do not follow their training, they are probably not doing a good job.

We actually did use it with Ukraine:

I'm assuming they just don't want to use it with very large sums, as its supposed to be a measure for emergency situations. Using it with tens of billions worth would be very bad politically here in the US.

Yeah, the new maps are still gerrymandered, just to a more "traditional" degree.

Assuming those officers are following their training, we need to change officer training. That behavior is more military than police.

Different fuels do release different amounts of heat when burned, this is true. But, the amount of heat in a fuel, and "temperature" are two different things. Did you not understand my explanation of how that worked?

Memory can get foggy after even a few years, much less 20. Brains are not as pure as we like to think. This is why witness testimony is such weak evidence in a courtroom, where physical evidence like fingerprints are considered much better. People's memories suck.

edit: So how about this one. If wood fires "burn at a low temperature", how does the inside of a forest fire get over 1000 C? If wood just burns at a set temp, wouldn't that be the temp they can reach?

Oh, you're right, thank you. Let me edit.

Pick up litter when I come across small amounts of it.

According to the US constitution, you have to be at least 45 years of age to run for the presidency. An amendment would be required to change this. So, some of that list doesn't quite qualify.

At any rate, someone decent would have to actually run against him. It seems to me they'd rather wait for 2028 though.

edit: Actual requirement is 35 years of age, not 45. So, nevermind.

I'm sure with some re-training they'll be able to acquire new skills in emerging markets that'll offer a competitive salary and opportunities for advancement.
