Weird how the republicans never use this logic to add dem policy, but democrats always use this logic to duplicate republican policy and messaging, and then eat shit in elections because betraying your base to do what the opposition wants is the best way to decrease turnout.

Yes, its a shortening of washed up.

People have been using it since at least 2020.

Washed police? This one right here.

What about Lagrange points? If the JWST can focus on a target millions of LY away, surely a few giant mirrors could focus on a reasonably small section of earth.

Hell just replace the former motor weight with battery and you’ve almost doubled the range. If China ever mass produces solid state batteries, double it again.

Ukraine war is proceeding to its just conclusion

A million dead on both sides and a Ukraine that is never safe within our lives while Russian billionaires make bank and Ukrainian billionaires join Juan Guiado and Jair Bolsonaro in Miami is hardly justice.

Hell it’s not even a conclusion.

You have a chance to do something really funny and station chinese and/or russian missiles right on the border. The golden dome just got 2 trillion dollars more expensive.

The big four and Germany having their lunch eaten by Japan again would be the funniest outcome.

Wait mexico had nothing to do with the Dutch taking control of a foreign country

Chongqing engineers: Hold my beer.

Yes, there are tons of shapes that are better served by others for literally any application, such as bowties, or ones that are at best entirely interchangeable.

We could totally get away with like 10 shapes with no dish getting worse for it.

??? You’d just be eating chunks of chewy pasta if you used oil with low-surface area pasta, all the angel hair would stay together and the cheese sauce would just be on the outside, and the meat chunks wouldn’t be absorbed into the radiatori fins, just the thinnest layer oil/fat.

Ok thats simply wrong. Imagine having bucatini or lasagna with oil and grated parm, or angel hair with a thick cheese sauce or radiatori with a chunky meat sauce.

How does Xiaolongbao vary from other pork baozi?

I’ll be on the lookout for 小笼包. Probably won’t be back in Guangzhou for awhile though.

As far as I can tell, its the character of the people who are able to travel. The most shocking thing I found in China was that Chinese, even tourists within China, were quieter and more considerate than outside China. That’s not to say they’re not still kinda loud at 2am, cut in line, barge onto elevators before letting people off, etc, just not as bad as you see further away from China.

The families who are able and willing to go to America are more likely to be the kind of small business tyrants who have gigantic egos and idolize America.

What’s the worst scooter/bicycle accident you’ve seen?

Where are you finding conservatives like that?

Honestly question, lemmy feels like its 30% leftists, 70% center-right libs.

Is the Houthi government better on gay rights?

Ok, now tell me how “Find a new boogeyman to justify a “defense” organization that has never acted in self-defense.” translates to “BATO made putin do it” in your head.

But how could I forgot having America and its attack dog Israel run your “defensive” organization is a fundamental leftist position.
