The problem with this is entropy. Heat dissipated to the environment is highly entropic (more disorganized, less useful heat/energy), and to effectively extract it, you’d need to reduce the entropy, which requires more energy that you would get from the heat you recovered.

Wow its good this article isn’t talking about speech like that

My first day visiting Albuquerque, I was in pizza parlor picking up an order, and the news was on a TV nearby. They were covering the arrest of this cracked out looking couple. The lady behind the counter then explained to me that it was a big local story because those two had tortured and murdered their daughter. Its also the cartheftt capital.

I haven’t been back.

Do you think Taco Bell is representative of actual Mexican food? Blaming Taco Bell isn’t racist, its blaming shit tier food

Never let an authoritarian tell you you should rely on the state for personal defense.

Australians now own more guns collectively than they did prior to Port Arthur just FYI, and their buyback only got about 1.2 million of the estimated 3.2 million guns in circulation at the time.

48k is the number for the US. However, over 50% of that number is from suicides

I’m reliant on the state for defence on a larger scale, but in our personal lives, the state can do little to defend us from other individuals in a timely manner. That is why I believe everyone that is able to should be responsible for their own personal defence.

I’ve no desire to injerect in others lives, but I do have a desire to protect myself and my family where the state cannot or will not.

A disarmed society is not a free society, its completely reliant on the state for personal defence, when that responsibility should rest with the individual.

Everyone comfortable with and able to be responsible for their own protection should take that responsibility. We should not be forced to rely on police who consistently prove they dont give a shit about us.

I’d love to try TL. I’m in another private tracker, but it isn’t great if I’m being honest.

And capital expenditure isn’t necessarily an expense in the accounting sense. CapEx comes from previous profit

This comment betrays a lack of understanding around 3d printed firearms.

Of course there are your (nearly) fully plastic single shots like the Harlot that fire small calibers and dont always last long.

On the other hand, there’s plastic lowers (the only part considered a firearm and thus the onlynpart that needs to be bought through an FFL) for AR15s that use off the shelf plumbing supplies for the pressure bearing components.

The files are readily available and able to be printed on low end FDM printers with little adjustment and troubleshooting completely bypassing the need to purchase a firearm from a dealer.

Episcopalians, despite often being called the Republican party at prayer, often lean pretty left actually.

I’ve lived in a range of population centers, from mid sized towns of about 30k, to cities in the millions, and now in a small town of 5k spread through the entire valley. Its different strokes for different folks. The city was nice with lots of things to keep me occupied, but I could barley afford to do anything because my tiny apt cost 2.5k a month. Cities would be great if the CoL was addressed. Smaller towns on the other hand offer me plent of unspoiled nature to explore and a tighter knit sense of community while allowing me to live comfortably.

Each has its benefits and generalizing one side or the other doesn’t do it justice.

Beloved, his character arc has been interesting to watch

I use GigaRapid, andnive got no complaints so far. Good speeds, wish I had more storage space, but a lot of their options were sold out when I signed up

He reactivated the Florida State Guard. The samekingd of State Guard utilized by like 22 other states including California and New York. The FSG was created way before DeSantis came to office.

Big “if you’re innocent, you’ve got nothing to hide” energy. I can be innocent and still not want unnecessary interaction with police and appreciate my privacy
