Term limits first. Lifetime appointment is stupid and you might as well ask for corruption up front.

Then electoral college. 0 reason for that shit to still exist. Farmers can pick up their farms and move to Canada or Mexico if they dont like being outvoted.

Then we can worry about universal accountability, starting with the removal of absolute and qualified immunity. The concept of immunity in law is a cancer to actual justice. Once we actually start holding justices and judges accountable for their actions, we can consider having more.

    False. I have access to both oxygen and hydrogen as a welder. I have used both to make a flame that reacts both elements to CREATE water.

    You're welcome, everyone. I saved you all.

    The prevalence of "no on prop 40" here in CA was wild. Especially since its such a no brainer of a proposition it doesnt need a counter campaign. The big argument against it is that if they can tax billionaires, they could tax the normals too. Its so out of touch the campaign forgot that normal people get taxed all the fucking time. We literally vote for new taxes. Its such a wild concept for the rich.

    I interviewed for a company working on this project. Their goal is still jet fuel but with greatly increased efficiency by replacing components traditionally driven by the shaft (such as the intake and compressor) with electrically driven systems that in turn take load off of the generator. The net increase in efficiency more than balances out the cost of the electrically driven components, thus increasing the efficiency of the entire system.

    Feels like an engineering wet dream, but i was willing to take their money and tell them how smart they sounded lol predictably, the project is waiting on more funding

    Honestly in my 35 years of living i have yet to meet an asshole Sikh. I used to carry around "all religion bad" but those guys have done a lot to change my view on the subject. Buddhist are usually pretty chill too as long as nobody talks about the lama. It always boils down to some asshat with too much authority deciding they know what God thinks. Thats all religions
