Better alternatives for what? I can’t think of anything I’ve ever bought from Amazon out of necessity, only laziness. And nowadays, pretty much everything that cannot be bought at a brick and mortar store, can be bought directly from the manufacturers website.

This is the take that frustrates me the most. “Since the candidate wasn’t perfect (by my definition of perfect, which of course is exactly the same as everyone else’s definition) it’s their fault that I stayed home”.

The election is always about damage control. You pick the least worst candidate, since those are the only options available. You want something different, you have to have your shit together before the primaries start. Instead, people do nothing for four years, then act all shocked and offended when nothing changes at election time.

No, no, no, don’t you understand? This is the Democrats’ fault for not running someone old, white, and male likeable enough.

Even if not a single residential property gets hooked up to a fusion generator, there will still be an economic case for fusion, especially as you move away from the equator. Industrial applications require an enormous amount of energy, and with solar power having a hard limit on the amount of energy you can get from a square meter, you’d have to have square miles of panels and batteries to keep one plant going.

There’s a chain of burger places called “The Burger’s Priest” in Canada. Must be talking about that place.

And how has that turned out for Gaza so far? Probably not the example you should be looking to replicate.

Most people, and all institutions can focus on more than one thing at a time.

There can be (and is) more than on hostile regime in the world.

Have a look at the American political landscape. If you can’t understand the difference between the Democrats and the Republicans when it comes to the topic of Israel/Palestine, then you have no business commenting on it.

Feel free to do that then. I wish you the best of luck.

The problem is, the stupid people are angry, but barely know what they are angry about, so they will latch on to the first person that feeds their anger. Of course, feeding the anger will make things worse, but that doesn’t matter, since it feels good now. Now you have a double problem of the original issue still existing, and half the population asking you to make it worse, and getting mad at you when you don’t.

Basically, America is fucked, and I’m just hoping they can keep it limping along long enough for me to die of old age before it completely collapses.

So you’d rather vote for the people who want to actively kill you, instead of the ones that mostly just ignore your problems? That’s just fucking stupid.

Because you can’t fix stupid.

To be fair, aliens are almost guaranteed to be real. The only question is whether or not they’ve been to earth.

Were they ever claimed to be non-toxic? I feel like it may be a case of “this stuff is bad for you, but being lit on fire is significantly worse.”

So the government didn’t spend billions of dollars to buy Alberta a pipeline?

Goddamn victim complex is getting really old.

The key in this case would be finding somewhere to put the waste heat from the computer, where you would normally be paying to add heat in the first place. That’s why you need to specify electric tank water heaters to make this idea work. You would be using energy to keep the water hot anyway, might as well do some additional work with that energy first.

If they refuse to play the claim, they are refusing to provide the service you have already paid them for.

If they refuse to renew a contract, they are not taking your money, and not agreeing to provide the service.

On the long list of dumb ideas, this doesn’t even begin to qualify. Almost all the energy that goes into a computer comes out as heat. If you can dump that heat into a tank of water that you wanted to be hot in the first place, you are saving almost all the electricity cost (assuming the hot water heater is an electric tank style heater, not a natural gas or tankless version).
