In China it couldn’t have been more different.
I’m not so sure https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tang_ping
And maybe 996 is a bad system perhaps.

That’s it, it’s horny jail for you. This is an abnormal amount of horny.
Quebec swear words are almost all Catholicism-derived. The Tabernacle, the Host, the Chalice, the Virgin, etc.
The problem with UBI is it won’t come without the power of the people forcing it. And then when that dies down it can just as easily be taken away. If you’ve got a mass movement with that power, why would stop at a bandaid?
Of course, that would never change in the face of changing financial incentives. The world as it is is the world as it ought to be.

I will simply not be friends with anyone whose idea of comfort is shoes on in the house. Freakish behaviour.
I mean, crown corporations are technically public because they are owned by and accountable to the government.
But the fact that they must turn a profit kinda ruins them…
Holy fuck I already told you I like the number 12 more than 10.
What you’re saying is great. But it would be cool if Imperial actually consistently used 12 instead of using it - and I can’t stress this enough - once. Can you tell me how many feet are in a ¼ mile off the top of your head? If you can, most Americans can’t. Most American don’t even know that the number of feet in a full mile is 5280 for some fucking reason. That’s not a power of 12. In fact in terms of multiples of 12 it’s 12×440. What the fuck? That’s not even like, 12×12×3 or something even remotely reasonable. There’s a multiple of 11 in there. That’s a fucking nightmare!
And with cooking it gets to the point where you’re just bombarded with fractions and 3s and 4s and 8s and sixteenths and good god it’s a mess. Stop kidding yourself. A measuring system with the consistency of metric but based on base 12 would truly be better than both systems, and imperial isn’t even close.
Oh so there’s 12 teaspoons to a tablespoon (3)? 12 tablespoons to a cup (16)? 12 feet to a yard (3)? 12 yards to a mile (1760)? Ok how about 12³ yards to a mile (12³=1728)? 12 ounces to a pound (16)? 12 cups to a pint (2)? 12 cups to a gallon (16)? 12 fluid ounces to a pint (20)?
The only actual conversion between any two units that is 12 in Imperial is feet to inches. teaspoon to ¼ cup doesn’t count because that’s a fraction of a unit (¼). It’s 48 tsp to cup.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the number 12 more than 10. But Imperial barely fucking uses it.
I had one professor who could tell almost any calculator model from 30 feet away. Other than him I never had any professor care about the specific model of calculator during an examination.
Imperial would be better if it actually was base 12. Instead, it’s base 12, base 16, base 3, base 4, and whatever the fuck else. It’s awful and you know it.
It’s not so much the force that is important, regardless of if it’s normalized for body size, it’s the pressure that does damage. psi (or Pa in SI) is the appropriate unit.
Sorry America, this is just a you thing
They did make an exception to that to take their moon rocks from the Chang’e mission though
We needed to get this shit done 10 years ago. Any delay in removing all fossil fuel emissions now is just a matter of how bad we want climate change to get, rather than preventing it. Net zero by 2050 is a fucking eternity away and is a shit goal, and all the projections that get us on track to 1.5 °C of warming have us extensively using carbon capture which is entirely unrealistic.
Existing nuclear plants in France work, they can load follow to some degree, and renewables can make up the difference with minimal energy storage. But at a certain point you have to stop investing in renewables if you have minimal energy storage and your electricity solution is working.
I am going to emphasize that last part: IF you can’t get enough energy storage, and IF your energy mix is fine, you must stop investment in renewable installations. Without enough storage, the baseload+peak paradigm works, you just have to regulate it.
France’s nuclear plants load-follow to some degree, so it’s not just fossil fuels.
Just in case you confuse him for all the other heads of state named Putin. There’s hundreds of em /s

The logical structure doesn’t hold. People don’t eat meat for profit, they eat it for preference. You can’t ask slave owners to be slightly less profit-seeking. You can ask people to tolerate small sacrifices like eating less meat.
Whatever the case, individual solutions to structural problems are not and have never worked, it’s a capitalist lie. I intentionally said “ask people to tolerate small sacrifices” instead of “make small sacrifices”. A reduction in meat consumption has to be imposed, whether at the distributor or the supplier.
If you get $7.25 why would $30 go to income tax? Shows the disparity is even greater than you outline.
