If you assumed the typical home was 2,000 sqft with a 35,000 BTU central AC

This is why imperial is wretched as a measurement system. Sure, feet are not inherently better or worse than meters, but why have weird units of power? Imperial makes anything that isn't the simplest of linear measurements a pain in the arse.

Shouldn't isn't the same as can't. Demonstrably, he can because he can order it and Congress won't stop him. Remember backing a corrupt wannabe king is preferable to aligning with a democrat, apparently.

The US has a penchant for directly targeting the heads of state of countries they're quarreling with. I wonder whether its foreign affairs people have figured out how much easier it would be to take out a US President (with appropriate misdirection) than to actually go to war with the largest military on the planet.

Musk's answer would be, "Not nearly enough".

I occasionally play on an old W510 laptop, Also Intel, the OG Core i7 laptop CPU.

Well also they got to use the Kennedy centre completely for free to have the prize award ceremony.

By astonishing coincidence their world cup draw ceremony was there the very next day while they stillhad it.

Yeah but what ARE electrolytes?

Liberals are the specific group of individuals who refuse to actually have valid discourse.

The main tenet of the right wing is to point and yell about how others are doing something they are doing. It's basically universal. So when a right winger points angrily at the other side you know for sure they are talking about themselves.

The end result is 40% of abortions come from repeat customers.

Right, so after refusing to teach basic sex ed, and making contraception harder to find because apparently Jeebus doesn't like it, you're somehow surprised that people don't have a basic grasp of the basics?

Liberals refuse to debate any sane middle ground with gender dysmorphia.

Crikey that's some strong whiplash there! It's also not true. Liberals on the whole refuse to have a "debate" with someone spewing thought-free right wing talking points and who is impervious to logic, and reason. So yeah liberals mostly won't debate with you because there's no debate to be had by you.

Liberals, ultimately put a man suffering from dementia,

Oh hey you found common ground with liberals!

and a wholly unqualified minority woman who acted as an Open Border Czar in the White House.

This is just right wing bullshit so you can claim you can rationalize a decision you know was astonishingly bad.

The Christian conservative who still believes in the value of Father figures, intact families, morals and ethics

I can't even with the sheer level of delusion here.

defending a 304

literally no one outside your loony bubble has any idea what your slang means.

How is it weird?

As someone else pointed out they can't start a fire work a flint, saddle a horse or use a side rule either.

Analogue clocks, and in fact analogue dials in general are somewhat niche items these days, and I could easily see how kids could go quite a long time without seeing one. For better or worse they just aren't a big part of modern life so unless it's really explicitly taught, then we would they know?

Maybe a bit, but analogue clocks aren't very common anymore.

Either way, the motivation of knowing how long it is until the end of the lesson will ensure they figure it out quickly enough. And/or the trolling will get old and boring soon enough.

I learned how to use a sewing machine in Home Economics back in 1994 or so. Damned if I could get one started today.

Isn't that hard, not for a basic model at any rate! I had cause to buy one a few years ago, and it was just a case of following the instructions on how to pass the thread through the tensioner, and what order it goes through the guide holes. Somehow the needles and holes have got a lot fuzzier than they used to be. Don't make 'em like they used to.

Yeah that's because millions of liberals aren't stupid people who can only think in terms of black and white. Good and bad. With nothing in between. The department of education might not be great, but scrapping it completely is almost certainly worse. Especially for red states where it'll be all Jesus and creationism. Liberals it seems still persistently don't want red state citizens to get completely fucked over.

People seem to like them.

Behold he power of marketing.

The problem of visibility, and danger to other road users is objectively true. You can allude towards denying it if you like on the grounds of even handedness but, well, reality wins. This is why America has somehow seen a quite drastic increase in pedestrian deaths, despite all efforts to get rid of pedestrians.

As for the bed, this is objectively true. Vans are available in a very wide variety of configurations, like drop side, low bed, caged side, box van, Luton (both of which has a lot more volume than truck bed covers), removable covers, and so on and so forth.

Well indeed the only two possible choices are a micro compact and a lifted F350. Nothing in between exists.

This is the definition of "standard model" that I'm using: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... It seems pretty relevant to our discussion.

Oh the lambda-CDM model. I thought you were talking about the Standard Model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... which is also relevant.
