Usually a conversation pit is avoidable, as seen in the pictures. Shouldn’t be enough to render the whole house unusable

The sun heats the planet unevenly, this causes wind. Wind is solar

While I agree that this is all technological possible, I just have a sinking feeling capitalism will find a way to ruin this. Probably involving the profit incentives for power companies
- Comment on You must tell me, please! 1 week ago:
That’s simply a load of bullshit. I won’t tell you ICE hasn’t done it or tried it, but I can tell you they haven’t deported even 1% of poor foreign born US citizens.
We have some big issues yes, but no need to overstate them

I can only speak of my expirences in the US and other places, but for the most part no that’s not how it is in the US.
Yes you can find a racist asshole in every country, but what’s the point. I wouldn’t say every Italian is uneducated because I found a person that didn’t complete school.
But admittedly I left the US before things got out of control. Our federal government is certainly making an attempt at trying to define who should be American. Sad to see and goes against one of the few things I truly loved about my country

Elon is American granted citizenship in 2002, 24 years ago.
I make this point not for Elon, but for other naturalized citizens. Once granted citizenship you are American, that’s one of the few good things I like about this country. I’ve lived and traveled to other countries where it doesn’t matter if you became a citizen or not because the locals will always consider you not one of them.
- Comment on If you receive a high medical bill, don't pay it immediately. Ask for an itemized bill first. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah this doesn’t really work anymore. In the past 2 years I’ve seen the hospital bills from 2 different hospitals.
Both hospitals issued an itemized bill automatically. We didn’t have to ask for anything. My guess is hospitals know this “trick” now and just have better accounting. So they issue the itemized right away so.they don’t have to deal with anyone calling

This was me when Trump took office. Saved myself a lot of money over the past year. Probably won’t need laundry detergent for at least another year.
Does suck having to start buy more things now that prices have really been jacked up from tariffs

The current gold market is valued at 34.243 trillion dollars.
I don’t know the scope of the damage here but lets assume it costs 50 billion to repair. That would be about 353 tons (US) of gold using current prices. The coat of this represents approximately 0.14% of the current global gold market.

- Comment on Student Parking 3 weeks ago:
My university was kind enough to offer a free lot on the far side of campus. They even had the bus go there.
They would also regularly send parking enforcement to find cars “hiding” off main campus that had delinquent fines. They would then boot the students car removing their access to transportation.
Pretty cruel since this was deep in the south and there was no functioning transit off-campus

If anything this post is more so upset that now its wealthy nations that have to deal with violated international law.
Poor nations have basically constantly had offense committed against them by wealthy nations regardless of international law

To be clear this is not just straight petroleum jelly it’s formatted for cats, but the tube days 98% petroleum jelly with maple flavor
- Comment on Yummy yummy, in my tummy 3 weeks ago:
We feed out cat a little petroleum jelly to get his insides lubricated. This was prescribed by a vet after he was very constipated. That was an expensive vet visit

- Comment on Tips 3 weeks ago:
Yes this is true, but in a world where people.are struggling more and more to buy basic necessities like groceries and pay their bills it’s a bit tone deaf.
Yes some people overspend frivolously, but many are just broke after inflation and tariffs
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 3 weeks ago:
Oh yeah we certainly have that many homes ready to be occupied tomorrow
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 3 weeks ago:
You know I see this figure a lot, but I wonder how many of these are actually liveable.
My grandfather’s old home is unoccupied, that’s because the roof entirely collapsed. The county refuses to remove it from the property taxes. Based on all available records it’s an unoccupied home, but it’s a total loss in reality.
- Comment on The Minnesota National Guard is attempting to recruit high school kids by insinuating their parents might be deported if they don't sign up 3 weeks ago:
I once had a recruiter try to recruiter me while I was in the job as a cashier. Just checking out his stuff and he just says “do you like working here”.
I said “yeah it’s fine”. Then he began questioning me on if i thought this was a good career path or where I wanted to go in life etc. I told him I was in college. Then this man’s eyes just lit up and he thought he had me. He said “and who’s paying for that?”
He was so very disappointed when I told him the government was paying for it. I explained I recieved a decent Pell grant that covered all my school costs. He looked immediately defeated. The second he knew I want struggling for money or deep in debt he knew he didn’t have a chance and gave up.
Pretty disturbing how excited he got when he thought I was in crippling debt. I guess they’re trained to exploit desperation. I’m also still annoyed he did this to me on the job where I couldn’t tell him to leave me the hell alone
- Comment on Danish Forces Are Mandated to Fire Back if U.S. Attacks Greenland 4 weeks ago:
This would be a much better argument if Russia only occupied eastern areas that expressed wanting to join Russia. Although even then there is some strong evidence that Russia planted that movement, but I’m willing to ignore that for now.
That as an argument falls apart pretty quickly when you remember they made a blitz attack for Kiev on the first day into areas not expressing a desire to separate.
Your analogy of the American revolution fits well with this. 13 British colonies had decided to succeed from Britain. France did not attack London nor did it send troops to the other British colonies in the Americas. It sent support to the ones that asked for it and nothing more.
But let’s not pretend the French did it for the American colonies. They did it to weaken Britain. Not for the people of those areas, but specifically for their own geopolitical goals.
But also let’s get back on topic. This argument agrees with me anyway. I said the USA did not start this war, and you are saying it was started by local separatists. Which back to the Revolutionary war comparison that’s spot on again
