Better than Brazil because is smaller with less population. If you take only São Paulo (unfair in its way) it’s way better than chile, or Santiago (for a more fair comparison).
- Comment on The real tragedy of the culture war: the right fights for something that never existed, the left for something that will never be 1 week ago:
Just today finished this podcast episode about that same topic
Citations Needed: Episode 157: How the “Culture War” Label Is Used to Trivialize Life-and-Death Economic Issues
“Let the Culture Wars Begin. Again,” The New York Times announces. “How the ‘Culture War’ Could Break Democracy,” warns Politico. “As The Culture Wars Shift, President Trump Struggles To Adapt,” NPR tells us. “Will Democrats Go on the Offensive in the Culture Wars?” Vanity Fair wonders.
Over and over, we’re reminded that so-called culture wars are being waged between a simplified Left and Right. Depending on who you ask, they tend to encompass issues under very broad categories: “LGBTQ rights,” “abortion,” “funding for the arts,” “policing,” “immigration,” “family values.” While there is some validity to the label of “culture war issue” – say, Republican opposition to an art installation, or tantrums over the gender of M&Ms – most of the time, the term is woefully misapplied.
Despite what much of the media claims, LGBTQ rights, police violence, abortion, and so many other issues aren’t just “culture war” fluff in the same league as the latest Fox News meltdown about a cartoon character. Nor are they both-sides-able matters of debate. They’re matters of real, material consequence, often with life-and-death stakes. So why is it that these are placed under the “culture war” umbrella? And what are the dangers of characterizing them that way?
On this episode, we discuss the vague nature of the term “culture war”; how this lack of clarity is weaponized to gloss over and minimize life-and-death issues like police violence and gender-affirming healthcare; and how the only consistent criterion for a “culture war” seems to be issues that impact someone other than the media’s default audience, i.e., a white professional-class man.
Our guest is The Real News Network Editor-in-Chief Max Alvarez.

I work with statistics and joined a wind power forecast project, so I have been reading papers on wind power generation for the past month. There’s other more complex formulas that the one shared on the link, but that was the first I found not pay walled.

I don’t understand the physics, but every model of power output from wind turbines uses V^3 for the formula

For this one I would count half of the from, half of the top, multiply them, the multiply by 4, the subtract the 10%.
28 front 8 top (28x8x4)×(0.9) = 100.8 ~ 101

This discussion reminds me of a party/orgy/something I saw being promoted and in the description it says that it was female/trans oriented (female and male trans included), but that they weren’t going to police anyone’s gender, but asked cis males to respect and didn’t participate.
