At the very least, they'd be against morons creating strawmen.
Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Threads, YouTube and others are so large, that they can impact opinion. If a platform like Facebook can take down a post that correctly and accurately labels a group, such as X or Y, as a terrorist group, and prevent that information from reaching others, they've damaged public good.
So does FoxNews or talk radio. Yet they are permitted to transmit lies (of omission and commission) however much they like. They can't easily slander particular individuals or companies, but that's about it.
It doesn't work well at high altitudes. There are things called clouds.
You can use good old inertial and magnetic navigation, periodically diving below the cloud cover to correct for any drift. It won't be foolproof, of course, but it will work in a much wider range of conditions.
Japan and Germany are ditching in favor of Hydrogen
LOL, no. They don't. Cope harder.
2 cycles do have emission controls, that's why you need the special tool to tune the carbs now.
No. They do not, they don't have catalytic convertors, so they emit plenty of unburned hydrocarbons. The result is that small engines are now emitting about the same amount of total smog-forming pollution as all passenger cars in CA! Source: https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/resourc...
It's crazy how filthy these things are. Also, banning them won't help that much with the noise, electric blowers are quieter, but not that much quieter.
I’ve got people complaining about the lowered air quality from 2-cycle lawn blowers and trimmers when they are 0.000001% of emissions.
They are not insignificant. Blowers and mowers don't have ANY emissions control, and they spew quite a bit of unburnt crap.
Also, they should be banned because they are terrible for the health of people who use them.
math, objectivity, and the written word were tools of white supremacy
I mean, that's kinda true. That's how the whites were able to do the industrial revolution and get into a position where it can be called "supremacy".
In almost every study I've seen, the ACT / SAT do not add much predictive value once you account for high school GPA.
The problem is that GPAs can be manipulated, especially in smaller schools. Doubly so if they become the main criterion for admission. ACT/SAT are much harder to manipulate.
And it should be the law: If you use the word `paradigm' without knowing what the dictionary says it means, you go to jail. No exceptions. -- David Jones
