For day to day life, weight and mass might as well be the same. I love science and astronomy but I’m not buying a pound of lunch meat at the deli counter to take into space.

To me, kilometers and miles are in a similar class; I don’t have a reason to prefer one over the other. Same with kilos/pounds. Even though a kilo is more than double a pound, it’s used to measure the same kinds of things. As with Centimeters/inches, quarts/liters, yards/meters.

Metric seems to do better at measuring very small things, or very precise things, but lacks middle measures that help with day to day life like Ounces and Feet. If there was a metric foot, like a quarter or third of a meter, it would be more useful. Same if there was a metric ounce, lets say 25 grams (an actual ounce is slightly over 28 grams).

I got alot to say, my dude

As do I

Biggest misconception by far. You can’t just “melt it down” like you can with glass or aluminum or steel

Motherfuckers being wearing “Right Wing Death Squad” patches acting like thy care about tyranny

In most countries, recycling paper only made financial sense if they shipped it to poor countries or used prison labor so it could be inexpensively sorted thru. Traditionally it was China, but they stopped accepting it. And letting microorganisms do what they do consumes less resources like electricity and less industrial chemicals.

Any plan that starts with “if people would just”, they in fact will probably not

They’re also fascist countries where the government can and do set strict limits on content without concern for rule of law or the will of the people.

They’re more of a backup option. The point being that it’s safer and cheaper than modern high-capacity batteries.

Someone wished Trump would die of disease (and didn’t get banned), I wish him a long life and lots of suffering from disease so reddit banned me for advocating for violence (they’d been targeting me)

That’s why there’s been a movement for years to end Qualified Immunity and force Police to carry their own insurance like Doctors do. As long as Police face no serious consequences for breaking the Law, they’ll continue to be vicious thugs.

Important to note that recycling some things makes sense, like metal. And recycling glass makes sense but sanitizing and reusing bottles makes alot more sense. There’s also been a push to compost as much paper product as possible since that makes way more sense than recycling paper. Our green bins now take any brown cardboard with no tape and pizza boxes.

The nearest major city to me has had electric buses since 1940. There are power cables overhead and poles that link the bus to the grid. No need for expensive flammable batteries that need extensive charging.

and/or they want field data from the real world conditions they’re being used in.

We were talking about Europe so I apparently wasn’t specific enough. Most countries in NATO let any capacity they had for large scale land wars wither after the cold war ended since they only saw conflict in small “police actions” in far away lands as being in their future. Things like Kosovo. And, to be fair, even the Russians (Putin aside) were confident that Europe was past large land wars too.

the big secret is that Democrats and Republicans are both on the political right and the mainstream media is owned by billionaires.

Some of us don’t “US bad, Russia good”. We look at each individual scenario, analyze it, and come to conclusions.

I mean, more than half. Almost everyone on the Left thinks Democrats share blame with Republicans even if Republicans are MORE to blame.

Technically the Freikorps would be more akin to groups like the Proudboys or Oathkeeprs. The analogy for ICE/Homeland Security agents/Federalized National Guard would be Gestapo.
