Chaplin pulled it off.

In the same way that Hitler ruined the toothbrush mustache, yeah. A sharp looking uniform, pity about the visual language.

Some real finger pointing at the moon shit.

I mean, yeah, that’s kinda how it works.

IMO it’s one of those bell curve meme things, with ‘everything is a file’ on both ends. I’ve come back around to it.

@kindtoeveryone in another thread:

The exact figures:

735.5 MW AC 2,942 MWh

Verified from Minnesota PUC and EQB.

Also, overnight you won’t be needing the full output, I would guess. And I’m sure they can draw on other sources.

3gwh

Yeah, makes sense. Someone else posted the original, too.

I’m fairly sure I’ve seen this image before as much as ten years ago. Probably not generated.

While that is awful… I’d eliminate the internet line and tether my phone. Data plans are ridiculous these days.

I’ve had sushi where the chef played a torch over it for a few seconds. Very good.

Shutting down the St. Lawrence seaway would probably not be difficult for a determined insurgency.

The strait of Hormuz might be pennies compared to that.

I hope this awakens something in you.

Yeah. Complex is the word, for sure, especially once supply chain destruction enters into it. It might take a decade to spin up beef production, but they could slaughter the herds down to nearly nothing in a year. Especially once the agreements that allow free range beef to exploit wild lands become unpopular/unmaintained.

Probably becaise they’re somewhat substitutable goods. Price for beef goes up, more people buy pork.

This is true, but i did say ‘largely’.

Not a whole lot of beef, too. Cows are incredibly inefficient meat sources.

“I don’t think you can be in a tit for tat with someone that’s 13 times larger than you are”

Agreed. Which is why we need asymmetric measures that make the USA hurt a lot more than us. Specifically, make their billionaires squeal like piggies. Tax US cloud services, streaming services, and app services. Cap the profits that their app stores can charge. Clamp down on what advertising is acceptable. Force them to open APIs.

Right to repair legislation. Force them to open app store competition.

Level the playing field for Canadian software companies and developers.

We can’t compete with them dollar for dollar. So compete with them penny for dollar.

While they’re at it, rename the Bald Eagle the Canada Eagle. We have more of them anyway.

I can see that. My feet take a few days of careful husbanding before they develop the callouses for a new pair of sandals, and there’s gonna be some sore spots. It helps to stick a bandaid over the sore spots to give them a chance to toughen up.

I can well imagine that some people might take longer or develop blisters more easily, preventing the skin from getting to that point. Dry skin is a good hypothesis.

Socks are a totally decent option. If it’s not going to happen, don’t try to force it. /nod

My partner makes baconish bits by mixing large coconut flakes with paprika and some other stuff and then crisping it in the oven. Pretty good.

I’ve tried that, I find the socks make them too likely to slip when I walk. Don’t understand it.
