Since they’re MAGA, I’m just gonna assume the ratio of this fuel price to normal fuel prices is equal to the ratio of water added.

It’s actually well documented that part of the appeal of religion is the psychological need for justice when it’s so clearly absent in the real world. It’s probably part of the reason Christianity spun off from Judaism when it became clear that the Jews weren’t going to get any sort of justice or revenge for their oppression by the Roman Empire. Christianity has a greater emphasis on the afterlife and otherworldly justice than Judaism does. Prior to that, the Hebrews were doing fairly well with their own kingdoms and a focus on prosperity in life rather than waiting for the afterlife was working out pretty well.
Sorry for the tangent, I just think it’s really interesting.
It’s that or Republican staffers are grotesque mockeries of human beings.
The joke is that Herman Cain (the tweeter) died of covid a few years ago.
Hegseth isn’t gonna like his place in history.

And the media will keep on shamelessly calling them “job creators”.
Hopefully some day the average voter will see through that shit.

Given who the subject is, it’d be more surprising if he’d never violated Texas election law.
It’s what he would have wanted.

I was more referring to snowpack - at this elevation, multiple days of snowfall accumulating several feet deep is common in some parts of the world. For reference, the tallest mountain in Colorado is 3000 feet lower. I assume it’s a pretty arid region, or they wouldn’t have built it.

If you’re referring to convection, probably not. Convective motion of air is so slight that even the tiniest breeze would do more to cool the panels. I’m not sure there’s any outdoor location in the entire world with stagnant enough air that it would matter. It’s better to just angle them to catch the most sunlight.

I tried (but not very hard) to check what the highest altitude dam in the world is, but searches kept giving me the tallest dams instead. But, for anyone who’s wondering, I also looked up what the highest altitude solar farm in the world is, and it turns out it’s the Huadian Tibet Caipeng project, at 5,228 meters (17,152 feet) above sea level on the highest plateau in the world. I have to wonder if snow accumulation outweighs the benefits of the lower temperatures and thinner atmosphere.
I could still hear fireworks going off at 2am last night. At that point, you’re just a shitty, thoughtless person or group of people.
On this Independence Day I can acknowledge we (the US) are fucking everything up, but I’m not sure putting us back under England’s jurisdiction will be much better. Can the EU just, like, form a colonial council to save us from ourselves?
Since there are many things depicted here, I’m gonna assume the one thing all liberals want is a large sign with music notes on it.

90% of the democratic base is against further support for Israel. Elected Democrats ignore 90% of their own fucking voters and then have the gall to call this an “insurgency.” Bitch, you’re the insurgents. Moneyed interests slipped you into these seats to act as saboteurs in their war against democracy, and you’re pitching a temper tantrum now that the grift is coming undone.
The interruptions supposedly caused by my adblock are tiny compared to the interruptions when I turn it off.
There’s no question that judging women by their appearance is a widespread problem, but doing expensive/unsafe medical things for the sake of appearance is also about personality.

To them, losing the “progressives can’t win purple states” narrative would be a catastrophe.
How many allegations does Trump have against him that are every bit as credible as the one that sunk Platner’s campaign? 37?
Not to mention that Republican support is the only thing that enables Trump to continue suppressing the Epstein files.
