She has other shitty opinions too:

CW: transmed

You've better off not caring. She was funding Progressive Victory- which is basically getting terminally online streamer audiences out engaging with voters.

She's done a lot of left-punching since Gaza, and routinely voices all sorts of shitty opinions about nonbinary people.

incredible bit

welcome back!

are the libs finally discussing the millennium challenge over 20 years later

This guy is about ready for a standing ovation in Canadian parliament

what's worse is there's many, many families renting in these high cost of living areas, in a permanent state of paying mortgage payment amounts just to rent in squalor so they can live nearer where they work deeper in the metro area.

I want to read more of the thought from that time period, because it definitely seems to coincide with the Americans having nuclear weapons at a time when the soviets didn't- I can see the rationale to not want to be contesting something that is so essential that it risks a wider war, but by getting bluffed into inaction they effectively surrendered in the long run.

if it wasn't the 50s , but 1946 I would actually send weapons and support to the Greek civil war. absolutely headass maneuver. without the Tito/Stalin split things would have looked very different going into the 50s

whenever I play as the Soviet Unionbin hoi4 I always purge krushchev, just on principle

effective interest rates were like 7% for a while, max fha loan is like $720,000 so anyone buying a house in the last year is paying like $4500/mo conservatively

He should make and sell them to all sorts of rich dumbasses first. Bonus points if it also locks when it ignites

I just cut my spiro back because of the same thing!

goat@sh.itjust.works is constantly dropping transphobic comments, I would stop being a vegan just to turn them personally into kebab

And we can get 90% of that value without a single human stepping foot on the given body

Considering the toll long-term low gravity takes on people it's almost certain that's going to be the case. Having human habitats there is a lot of unnecessary complexity, but maintaining healthy humans in those conditions is categorically worse.

In terms of other planets it really doesn't make any sense outside of pure scientific exploration (frankly it's a good thing that it doesn't make economic sense) and for the strategy I described the moon is a better candidate anyways, for the reasons mentioned. That's what the Chinese moon missions have been investigating at least.

Personally I always thought the prospect of colonizing Mercury in a non-earth-like way at our current technology level made more sense (if not financial sense)- it could be done in subsurface caverns, harvest energy from the surface, ice is present inside permanently shadowed craters. Water is constantly being created from solar wind blasting the surface (sputtering creates water vapor when solar wind hits oxide-laden rocks. ).

The real problem? While the average distance between Earth and Mercury is only 48million km, around a third the distance to Mars (140 million km), the orbital speed is 47.87 km/s per second compared to Earth's 29.78km/s, and Mars 24.08km/s. The transits could potentially be relatively short, but still end up consuming as many resources in the end. Mercury is also considerably less mass- while Mars and its gravity is 1/10th earths, Mercury is half that, which could have pretty bad long-term consequences for colonists.

Taking your herd to market and this guy pulls out one of those and demands you pay your taxes to the sultan (plus his commission)
