  1. It’s been happening for almost 4 years. That has changed the mind of some, but no matter what gets shared or “thrown in the faces of his supporters” his approval rating and support from them remains steady at 42-45%.

  2. Quite the contrary. Do we need to repeat what we've been saying for the last 4 years?

  4. Decades of gerrymandered districts, voter suppression, power concentrated in the hands of only 2 parties, tribal us/them indoctrination where people vote party over person or policy, plus massive, unlimited, anonymous inflows of money into politics has allowed the craziest and most extreme candidates to “represent” us. The Republican Party saw a wave of extreme representatives come to power after the Great Recession with the anger of the Tea Party movement, has spent years denying basic facts on topics like evolution and climate change and tax cuts paying for themselves and all of that fertilized the ground for conspiracy thinking and treating their opinions as if they are equivalent to other people’s facts. This led then to an opening where the entire party experienced a hostile takeover in the 2016 election where Republicans were too afraid follow their conscience, to speak out against Trump, or to vote in favor of his impeachment. They put personal power over health of the nation and correctly calculated that their own voters liked Trump more than they liked them so they needed to fall in line or leave. Now it’s mostly just a cult who thinks people on the left are subhuman garbage in need of a bullet to the face and these divisions are being actively stoked by state actors like Russia, China, and Iran and are being further amplified by US citizens themselves who have plugged into QAnon and other actual fake news sources.

  7. Can read more of the article here: https://astronomy.com/news/2020/09/rodents-in-space-keeping-bone-and-muscle-strong-on-the-iss Really happy about this as it will make moving between different levels of gravity easier and make living in lower gravity long term much more viable.

  8. No, and conduit, if used is not required to be metal. Insulated single or multiple bundled are both permitted and used. Insulated single need a conduit. Yes No the US centre tapped bi-phase transformer system is not used. In most installations transformers are not used. The 200 - 240 volts is the interphase voltage and the higher phase voltages are used in Europe for high power, but not in the UK There are different wiring configurations and fusing arrangements in different countries. Most countries separate power and lighting/low power circuitry. The UK favours a ring main system for power and daisy chaining for lighting. Star wiring is permitted. Continental Europe favours star wiring from a central fusebox for power ; some daisy chaining is allowed. Since there is generally no transformer, there is no centre point to earth. In fact in the UK it is illegal to earth the neutral; whilst in the US it is illegal not to earth it ! In Europe the supply company generally provides the earth separately, though this is a recent addition in some countries.

  9. The best way to generate energy is to burn fossil fuels.

  10. The ideal fuel should be: widely available safe to use by a layman cheap portable low in the production of toxic waste as a byproduct high in potential energy that can be released per unit mass Fossil fuels satisfy all of these requirement like no other fuel does. Fossil are a dream, they are perfect. God must have put it here for us to use, how else can you explain its perfection?
