It's not an iphone, but American-made smartphones exist. They just need a bit of investment.

Titans.

Titanians are from Uranus's moon Titania.

Note: Titan and Titania are not to be confused with Neptune's moon Triton.

Oh! My bad. It replaces the innertube for the live of the bicycle. I misread the claim. Thanks for clarifying.

How is that a problem? Doesn't that significantly reduce waste?

So, 1/3 the production rate per tire compared to a car over 100km. Not to mention half the number of tires. I wonder how much of that is due to the weight difference alone.

Has anyone ever made tires out of something that isn't plastic? Looks like NASA has. Nickel-titanium alloy flexible mesh. No popping and lasts the lifetime of a bike. Doesn't look like the company has a mountain-bike version yet.

By building something better.

I don't see a lot of "join us for the ___ meeting on ____ ".

This is literally the purpose of the party.

Right. It's not fulfilling its purpose. That's what we're asking for.

People criticize the dems because they hope the dems might listen.

We need a way to have our voices heard if you don't want us shouting and protesting.

To reduce infighting amongst the democrats, create official avenues for grievances and disagreements to be settled that can actually influence party platform and trajectory without tearing the movement apart.

Use the settling of our varied perspectives to bind us so that our unsettled disagreements don't tear us apart.

Math is a language.

Sometimes the rules of the language let you know that you need another noun or verb to make a complete sentence.

Sometimes those using the language get so caught up in its formalism that they forget it's supposed to represent reality.

I wouldn't call it intellectual fraud. I would say that 120 years in, we've reached the end of what details following the math can fill in. As the article points out, it did correctly predict things like antimatter (yes, that's what the article goes on to prove despite what the intro says). We need some new axiomatic postulates to shape our understanding of reality from which we can follow the math.

Planck quantized action and rotation. Einstein introduced a reference-independent speed of light. Dirac merged them. Einstein added the equivalence principle to relativity to describe gravity which has not been fully merged. If the math doesn't work, don't keep adding more. Try new foundational postulates.

True. Sorry. I'm hurt.

I'm just trying to point out that the victims of the misconduct get the double whammy of what happened to them, plus getting ostracized and bullied out of society.

Right.

This world treats trans people worse than rapists.

And it treats sexual misconduct victims worse than it treats trans people.

Other social media sites have been doing it. Do we want to join in?

EDIT: Some people are saying that this is a power that ought to be left to communities... do we have a specific delineation of powers that relegates these decisions to communities? If not, then I recommend that these users propose such a delineation of powers. I would be very ok with this proposal failing because instead we got a more explicit set of checks and balances.

 

The strategies range from outright reversals to “slow walking” the implementation of voter-approved ballot initiatives, such as lawmakers refusing to provide funding. Whitesell said that was a prevalent strategy for some Republican governors and lawmakers after voters in their states approved expanding Medicaid coverage following the passage of the Affordable Care Act. The matter ultimately had to be settled in the courts, extending the lag time between vote and implementation.

Delay, Deny, Defend.

 

On Tuesday, voters in Crook County passed measure 7-86, which asked voters if they support negotiations to move the Oregon/Idaho border to include Crook County in Idaho.  The measure is passing with 53% of the vote, and makes Crook County the 13th county in eastern Oregon to pass a Greater Idaho measure.
