It worked for Hitler, and the Republican Party seems to be taking straight from his playbook. ("Mein Kampf" means "my struggle" and was written in jail in ~1924 during his 5 years in prison for a failed coup attempt. Trump appears to be trying to speedrun the whole thing.)

In order to stop Nazis you have to stop the ideology of fascism which is unfortunately sorta baked into America's racist puritanical capitalist genocidal origins. Hitler even took notes from American Jim Crow policies and racist/poisonous border controls. We have to fight this colonialist abusive mindset at all levels, from uncles and stepdads and cops to CEOs, investors, and politicians.

Yes this is a good point, you don't want i.e. tiny capillaries in areas with low circulation to be heating up before you notice other places.

If you can't feel your hand heating up if you hold it near the oven and sensors or thermometer strips don't register any temperature increase outside the oven when it's on then nothing substantial is escaping. The amount of 2.4ghz energy required for indoor communication is on the order of tenths or hundredths of a watt, whereas the amount of energy required to cook food is on the order of 1000 watts. So you're talking about a 10,000-100,000-fold difference in magnitude.

For non-ionizing EM radiation like radio waves and normal light (as opposed to ionizing radiation that can cause cancer by knocking bits off your DNA like UV rays and X rays) the danger is in, essentially, cooking your flesh. For radio professionals determining if a microwave antenna or cell phone is safe for your body, we calculate watts per square centimeter, in other words how much electrical energy is delivered to your skin's surface. When a radio professional messes up and gets exposed to dangerous levels of energy, they experience it as feeling very warm or burning, and may suffer symptoms similar to a sunburn or, worst case, like putting a body part in a microwave oven.

Also because of how rays of energy work mathematically against surfaces, every foot you stand away will exponentially decrease the amount of energy you'd possibly receive: standing 6 feet away will give you 2.8% the dose versus standing 1 foot away. So even if you have a dangerously defective oven, just don't hang out with your face pressed to the glass and you'll have much bigger things to worry about in life.

TLDR: there's no voodoo scariness behind microwaves, just try to make sure they're not warming you up and cooking you, especially for extended periods of time. You'd probably notice if they were.

The main hazard of putting an electronic device in a microwave is that it heats up and catches fire or ruins your food.

General Motors, Firestone Tire, Standard Oil, and Phillips Petroleum were convicted of an actual conspiracy related to the monopolization of transit systems, which replaced beloved streetcar (rail) systems with rubber-tired oil-burning buses.

And many plantations converted to prisons that are still in operation to this day.

And many states can't reduce their prison populations because then they'd lose free labor.

And some states use prison labor to staff the governor's mansion with butlers.

Yeah I'd really hope that the upgrades pave the way for even higher potential speeds, like if the limiting factor is now old Amtrak trainsets instead of the rail itself. Or if a new line means less delays. 20 minutes out of 5 hours is really not much.

We're here to support you in your journey to sobriety, brother!

Thanks for all the recs!

Huh now I know. Never heard of it before. I use OpenShot which is FOSS but it's meh.

This article is super hard to follow, they mention a stabbing this year and lacerations to a cop's face this year but then say that they kettled and arrested everyone in the area after a stabbing... this year? So was anyone stabbed this year or was it just preemptive because of last year?

And was the police's stated goal to disperse everyone, or kettle and arrest everyone? The article makes it sound like both.

Either way seems excessive, charging everyone in the area with rioting. These seem like unruly skaters who mostly want to skate.

How does that feel both shorter and longer than it actually was?

It's been a few decades since I got into it, but can you tell me the best Linux alternatives to Adobe Premiere / After Effects, Final Cut Pro, and AVID? I've tried a few and they tend to have problems with crashing and overall limited functionality.
