In my case, I learned by making solutions I wanted or needed that didn’t exist yet. So I imagine any “maker” category of content would be a good start, since they often start with the same premise and talk through their techniques and resources in the process.

2·4 days agowhere learners can gather together by video conferencing or text messaging
You can do this on a single HTML page with fewer than 100 lines of code. What is the platform aspect?
If they have the two-column/gantry style cable machine and you’re willing to BYO bar, you could add removable cable attachment points to each end with common pipe and cable hardware.
For example, on each end of your bar, you could slide on a shaft collar like this
But replace the set screw with a shallow eyebolt like this
Then attach cables of lower-inside pulleys to the eyebolts at each end of your bar, and test.
It won’t replicate the dynamics of plates but should let you find the correct angle of resistance into the floor and maintain your form while training with cables.
duverger’s “law”
The name is a historical artifact of his 1950s phrasing. It’s a tendency theorem with scope conditions.
literally a tautology
Cox, Riker, Lijphart, and Clark+Golder have all reformulated the law as a conditional strategic-equilibrium claim.
that’s a lot of ink spilled for “literally a tautology”
9·6 days ago(Not my field. The following is armchair speculation.)
Why is [fusion] more economical than [solar/wind]
TLDR — It’s not. For distributed/residential, bulk power generation, and light-duty transportation, solar has already won so decisively that fusion is not likely to catch up this century. But those aren’t usually the target applications.
TMK, Fusion offers most of the known advantages of fission (smaller footprint, superior energy density + capacity, output that’s weather-independent and geography-agnostic, etc.) but with significantly better safety and waste profiles.
Its versatility as a thermal source enables many industrial applications requiring temperatures difficult or impossible to achieve via electrification alone.
The reaction itself is directly applicable to neutron production.
There’s some even more far flung applications like outer planetary and deepspace space travel.
And others. All to say, it’s for niche and future applications PV can’t touch.
These are good examples of what it takes, however, including primary participation and grassroots activism. In addition, the NYC mayoral featured ranked choice voting.
In other words, Duverger’s Law can’t simply be ignored in FPTP systems like those of the US, and anyone who suggests otherwise (like saying you should vote non-strategically to defeat the MAGA opposition) is either terribly ill-informed or, more likely, is working for the opposition.
“True colors” is typically used to refer to acts of selfishness and betrayal, a loss of trust in how friendly or kind one appears to be.
But in the rare case it is used for anger specifically, it indicates a loss of trust in how safe or stable one appears to be.
Even if you’re mostly even-keeled and exhibit emotional stability 9 times out of 10, it’s the 1 in 10 chance you won’t that can instantly become the most salient “color” in your palette.
In other words, it is precisely that 10% chance of emotional disregulation and/or danger, be it real or perceived, that they are describing as your “true colors.”
It has nothing at all to do with the sincerity of your “happy” side.
Defensiveness is natural but IME this accusation is best treated as an opportunity for self-reflection. Anyone who has felt similarly misunderstood should consider discussing with a therapist who specializes in anger management, because the first person to mention an anger problem is rarely the first to have noticed it. Having more control over how you feel is its own reward.
Edit: not directed @ OP, just anyone who has felt similarly accused
5·6 days agoI’m keeping my own shit list, because I anticipate a lot of hand wringing and ghost-written sob stories from leaders and elites describing their inner turmoil and why they had no choice but to kiss the ring in this era of open fascism in the US.
And I’ve already committed to hear them out and be even-handed. Some of our most inspirational stories are of covert resistance and sabotage by elites in fascist regimes risking it all. But I suspect most are simply cowards at best and collaborative ghouls at worst.
Either way, taking their public actions at face value is the correct choice for the time being.
Yes. Honestly even if they were grown up I would first put this in the “still has good relationship with local mom” column, a rare green flag these days. Only if part of a larger pattern of dysfunction would I treat it as a red flag.
But OOP is likely (A) a teenager, because moms don’t usually know anything about their adult kid’s vehicle, and (B) a boy, because this is obvious boomer humor. A mom knowing about their teenage son’s date is expected.
The gift of cookies just means she likes the gf and wants her to know. Green flag only.

++rate is only better if you already have a lower rate because it generally means appreciation of the property asking price, and depreciation of your payment and the amount you still owe, all have accelerated.
This is because loan rates rise and fall with the prime rate, which is mostly tied to inflation rate, AKA the rate of currency depreciation.

Also “not cool” in the US is best known as an exceptionally low-effort, apathetic, and/or impotent rebuke, so the correction hits like “forgive our pathetic shitheads”

Yeah this is a serious EPA violation. The refrigerant lines run through the sides of the enclosure, so piercing the sides likely vented the refrigerant.
