20 km, and yes, definitely my home, i’d say :D
it all fits together really nicely, somehow. i’m not sure whether trump actually has a plan or things just randomly fit, though:
i’m torn about this. most of these things happened in the middle east, and then it’s self defense, kinda, since the US invaded these countries.
if the interest is just as high as the general inflation, then the government can just take out extra loans to serve the interest without actually increasing the real total debt, because the nominal increase in debt is just eaten by the inflation.
These problems are often caused by psychological problems, such as bad experiences in their past, for example being bullied in school for being fat.
You might want to talk with your partner about that.
basically when the federal government goes into debt, that basically means that the federal reserve which you can imagine like a big bank hands out a loan to the government.
the government doesn’t really have to pay back that debt, ever. (it technically has to but that can be avoided by simply taking out a new loan at a later time).
i hope i explained that correctly.
It’s also interesting for California and other blue states.
Since Trump is attacking the blue states especially, there’s a form of warfare there. As we all know, wars are really expensive and are often decided by who can stay solvent longer.
Normally, that would be California and other blue states, because they have the better economy. If they stopped paying taxes, that would severely harm Trump.
However, through the federal reserve, Trump can just print infinite amounts of dollars, and that effectively overrides the blue states’ strong economy.
So the blue states have a serious interest in de-dollarization, sothat Trump’s money-printing federal reserve becomes meaningless.
in general i would agree but many people were tricked into it.
are people in general for or against secession (i.e. splitting up the US into jesusland and the blue states)? poll by upvoting (pro secession) or downvoting (against secession) this comment.
Kolanaki, i guess you’re not really getting the point here. The point is intentional cruelty to demotivate these people to ever come to the US again.
yeah exactly
do you think that they are alive somewhere else, and will continue to be for a long time?
yeah but MAGAts do, at least about the idea they have about the country or rather how they think it was in the past.
it’s maybe some kind of stockhold syndrome? the 1950s were shit but people remember them well.
so they think that they want to go back to that.
and the loss of that is causing an emotional toll on the people.
anything that invades your focus without your desire for it to happen.
i guess some call that “harassment”
and i guess it’s that much of a problem in today’s time because people are simply exposed to too many signals. that makes signals too much and unfavorable, which we call harassment.
so, in a certain way, the fact that we perceive things as “harassment” is due to the internet, since that’s where the majority of signals come from these days.
i always read it a bit different
all life is suffering means literally that. suffering is just another term for the process of being alive. suffering is the experience of all our emotions and everything that we can do in the world. this is suffering, contrasting it to the coldness and stoicism of death.
every organism is born hungry and needs to fight that constant hunger or die
huh, and i thought hunger was caused by greed which is itself tied to the modern society
the glass lens probably is cheaper than a big solar panel
but the cost of setting up a glass lens in 5-10 meters altitude (because that’s what’s needed to bundle any sunlight) and make it storm-proof is probably more expensive than setting up a big solar panel at hip height.
and considering that labor cost is a significant part (i guess 10% - 50%) of overall solar park cost, i guess it’s probably not worth it.
Yeah, community solar parks are really the best because they remove a whole lot of these soft costs.
These soft costs include:
additionally, any kind of fixed-cost complexity is spread over a bigger field.
i.e., you should add circuit breakers to make sure the solar panels don’t feed into the grid when the energy prices are already negative. adding that breaker has a fixed and constant price. adding one breaker to a large park is more efficient than adding 100 breakers into just as many households.
dude, better boring than exciting
