It's a problem the whole news industry has. Craigslist took all the classified ads. Facebook took almost all the business ads. So what's left is subscriptions — and if you don't charge, the paper goes bust.

Something like 80% of local newspapers in the US have gone under already.

That's why I posted a gift link, so most people won't hit the paywall. The big exceptions:

  • You've disabled javascript
  • You're running a browser extension which strips off the gift token
  • Your phone or browser is in a weird state and needs to be restarted

How pulse-oriented the heat from your induction stove is varies a lot by stove. The cheaper ones tend to use nothing but pulses for output control; the better ones tend to have the ability to actually lower continuous output. There's a whole range of combinations out there too, where, say, the first 50% of output cut happens continuously, but it shifts to pulses below that.

I'll also note that the induction stoves with a thermostat which lets you fry without ever smoking the oil are amazing.

But then they wouldn't be Republicans and would lose those sweet patronage dollars

Nah, but they'll have avenues to make it all happen because he seems to be wildly influenced by the last thing somebody said, and Vance knows who butters his bread.

He's surrounded by people who are going to try and make those promises come to fruition. That's why Project 2025 includes a directory of willing to implement it.

The criminals are the first step in the deforestation, and they're able to use fire in a way that they weren't before because it's hotter and drier, in part because of past deforestation.
