Also Brown definitely wouldn’t have been the first to enforce faux tradition.
That shit has existed forever and the more meaningless, the more militant.
Ketchup on hotdogs. Folded pizza. Seafood with red wine.
All said with more authority yet far less evidence than anything Alton Brown ever said.
Fruit goes on cooked flour.
It’s been like that for centuries.
Cake. Danish. Fruitcake. Pizza. Filled doughnuts. Kolacky. Raisin bread. Banana bread…
And abortion being legal doesn’t mean shit for a Catholic.
No one’s up in arms because non-Catholics eat meat during lent or don’t believe in transubstantiation.
Their religious belief has no place in government. If they don’t want to do it, then don’t.
The concept of the tragedy of the commons existed centuries before Hardin. He just uses that concept to justify an unsound conclusion and the concept would exist whether he wrote his paper or not.
Every time someone references it, they’re referencing that concept that really does affect communal resources, and probably have no idea what argument Hardin ever made based on it.
The beginning of the paper lays out the idea very well and I use it to teach people to treat shared resources respectfully, but tell them not to bother reading the conclusion.
I haven’t shot that much, but I’ve found pistols to be louder than smaller rifles - probably because the barrels are shorter and they’re a fair bit closer to your face.
A brief internet search says the signal in the real thing is mechanically generated by pressing the trigger on the hand unit, helpfully called the M57 firing device. So just shorting the wires without external power wouldn’t trigger it.
That activates a blasting cap which is installed in the mine when it’s placed. I’m pretty sure it just needs one cap to work, but there are two places for them on top - the little upside down tophats where the wires end in the picture. So the one in the image might be wired wrong; both wires would need to go to the same cap on one side.
I don’t know if a doorbell has enough juice to activate a blasting cap.
Harris chose to do something immoral because “it was the law”, or it benefited her, or whatever - and you can expect her to continue doing that.
You still have to vote for her, but you also have to be realistic about who you’re actually voting for.
Republicans are the party who holds their candidates up without criticism - and Dems put up Kamala now exactly because Democrats were criticizing Biden - and even though she’s one of the worst candidates they’ve put up in years, she’s still far more electable than Biden.
So yes. You need to both vote for and criticize Harris. It’s the least immoral choice.
So if all hotdogs are hotdogs of other hotdogs, there must be a hotdog that was never a hotdog of another hotdog.
That hotdog is God.
EDIT: Hotgod
? EA has been shit since probably before 1995…
Now I’ve got 'er, boys.
The boss is on a roll!
This is the way. Though I’ve had to come to a full stop and pull off the road a couple times…
If you’re pacing the car in front of you, you’re already wrong.
Never. Pace. Strangers.
You pass them or let them pass.
Intelligent people leave a whole fucking lot more than just two car lengths.
This is also why you vote in the primary of the party with the candidates you like least.
If you view any candidate in party A as better than every candidate in party B, you need to vote in party B’s primary so the best candidate for you will make it to the general election. Then even if party A loses the general election you still get the candidate you like most from party B.
This was a key strategy for black people in the south to get the least racist Democrats into office. It’s basically ad hoc ranked choice voting and it reduces the power of extremists.
I distinctly remember God had Noah build the boat himself…
“Those against making Election Day a federal holiday argue that such a large focus on one day is misguided, since almost 70% of ballots in the 2020 presidential election were cast before Election Day.”

This is Iran. The mini-bombs were in Lebanon.
This is the third group of people Israel is trying to kill in their apparent attempt to start World War III
Wrong time again…
