Free education would empower ‘those’ people. And the right desperately needs an other to denigrate.

Except o2 is only produced in volume by a nova. Which isn’t happening on a planet.

All hail Goldfishius!

Get Back to me when you find it on a planet other than Earth.

o2 isn’t as stable as most molecules containing oxygen. Free o2 oxidizes damn near everything, so it doesn’t last in an atmosphere without a new source. Take a look at the solar system. Every planet has oxygen, none of it is o2 outside of earth.

Just about every element comes out of a super nova. By the time it’s around a planet, Oxygen has made friends, usually Hydrogen, so it’s no longer free molecules.

Look for free Oxygen, the only reason it sits around is because of life. Sure, there are lots of forms of life that won’t show up that way, but if you do see it, you know you found life.

China laughs as the US hurts itself in confusion.

It’s also important to remember U-3 is a rate, not a count. Labor force participation is closer to a count, but has to use calculated values over longer periods, making it more of a rough estimate.

They’re supposed to disclose all the ingredients, the contents of my Olive Oil and Peanut Butter would argue they very much do NOT.

That’s why the Porshe guys in California made it a club. One guy with a 00O00O license plate is easy to track down. A few dozen variations on the same make and model car make it a lot more of a mess.

It’s been a thing for a long time, probably hasn’t been used more because masks are easier. It’s so rare though that it makes you stand out as being one of the only people using it. Which really defeats the purpose.

Wide flat sports tires are shit on wet roads. Once they start to hydroplane you’re just along for the ride.

Supposedly it’s because there are a lot of them in the Bible, and since they use it as a training source, the AI just leans into them.

Fascism always needs an enemy. If they don’t have one, they’ll make one.

Might makes right is the whole of the law.

Once you’re in power you can rationalize/justify their loss against the greater good that your leadership has brought to the people. There are concrete examples of human progress to defend. If there are significant counter examples, then it’s you that’s the problem to be dealt with, just like any other.

I could make the hard choices if needed, once there. Because at that point it’s about what is the greater good. Even if you really can’t say for certain, someone making a bad call is most often better than no one making a decision.

The problem is that in order to become a benevolent dictator, you have to chose to hurt people that don’t matter to the greater good, or very likely are important to the well being of the population. With the only justification being that maybe by consolidating power you can make the world a better place. And there is just no way to square that circle other than violent narcissism.

That’s basically all it is. Rhinoviruses don’t hang with zinc. The vitamin C is probably just to keep you from gagging on the taste.

It’s the quickest way to tell if it’s a cold or some other flu. If Zycam works, it’s some variant of a rhinovirus, and it’ll be dead in a couple days. If it doesn’t work, you’ve made some other viral friend. The other cold like strains don’t seem to give a shit about zinc, so if it’s not immediately obvious it’s working within about 30 minutes, move on to other remedies. If it is working, don’t over do it, you can fuck up your sinuses with too much zinc.

People still get a cold? I haven’t seen one since zicam became a thing. Lots of flu variations fucking people up though.
