Lift up your hearts! All will come right. Out of the depths of sorrow and of sacrifice shall be born again the glory of mankind.

We cannot yet see how deliverance will come, or when it will come, but nothing is more certain that every trace ofHitlers's bootstep every stain of his corrupt and corroding finger will be scrubbed and purged and of need be, BLASTED, from the surface of the Earth.

Praying wasn't working, but praying AND fasting might!

Thanks for teaching-me-about/reminding-me-of that acronym.

I've been advocating for the adoption of "people with minority Sexual Orientations and/or Gender Identities" ie "SOGI minorities" or "SOGIm".

I think I still prefer " SOGI minorities" because it's inclusive, and the acronym sort of stands on it's own e.g. I recently learned my province has SOGI curriculum as part of the school system. It's not just about SOGI minorities, it's about helping kids understand what gender is, and isn't.

I do like how GSRM articulates the difference between sexuality and romance though.

Interesting video, thanks for tabulating the data

I'm surprised he is measuring with the fan so close to the ground, with the electronics obstructing the fan downwash, with the anemometer so close to the fan, with the anemometer so close to the edge of the fan, and with the anemometer so irrepeatably placed...

I don't think he has accurately measured the efficiency of the induction motor (no load -> stock blades @ 1 m/s is a power change of 10.5 induction and 19.3 for bldc). He is pretty casual in his dismissal of the cost premium of bldc motors too.

Two other options would be:

A. End of the Molotov/Ribbentrop pact (any war with Russia is technically transcontinental)

B. British sinking of the Vichy fleet (happened in a lot of places right?)

Or paradigm adjustments to the two you suggested:

A. France/Britain declaring war in response to German invasion of Poland (committing their global empires to the conflict)

B. Japanese campaign in Malaysia and Indonesia adding that theatre to Japan's war and putting them at war with.... Ummm other empires.... I think British and dutch?

Facebook sucks and has for quite some time.

In Canada we passed a regulation that social media sites have to pay our media companies to link to their articles. Google is paying up, but Facebook said no, and has banned news. It has made Facebook here much less terrible.

CSE did not say how many Canadians were impacted

Was it all of us, or 5 of us?

I really like that the 3d preview has a scale!

I think the establishment is actually quite sensitive to unemployment figures because people that are unemployed have time to demonstrate.

Ithink you could be more charitable in your reply. Transistors were developed to replace tubes in telephone systems... Okay but the tubes had been developed to where they were because of their usefulness in radio.

And while computers don't inherently rely on radio, it's radio communication that's taken computers from one in every office to one in everyone's pocket. Right? The main thrust of the previous commenter is true.
