You’re correct, that was not my intention; didn’t realize it came off that way. Emphasis added.

In other words,
KE = ½mv²
it’s the velocity that’s squared, not mass.

You mean murderer Jonathan Ross, the piece of shit who brutally murdered and shot to death Renee Good?

*white dud seeds

Agreed.
Also, I think it’s exacerbates, not exasperates.

It doesn’t take in to account at all those who abstained.

Abstained? You mean helped Reagan win? How’d that strategy work out?

And it doesn’t list by generation just by 10-year increments.

False. Behold, arithmetic!

1980 election
Age (DOB) Range
18-21 (1962-1959) =3
22-29 (1958-1951) =7
30-44 (1950-1936) =14
45-59 (1935-1921) =14
60+ (1920-past)

1984 election
Age (DOB) Range
18-24 (1966-1960) =6
25-29 (1959-1955) =4
30-49 (1954-1935) =19
50-64 (1934-1920) =14
65+ (1919-past)

What they lack is a neat cutoff at 1945.

And generations don’t fall into neat 10-year increments.

No one is doing that.

Wikipedia:

The generation is often defined as people born from 1946 to 1964 during the mid-20th-century baby boom that followed the end of World War II.

More arithmetic! 1964-1946=18

At that point in time boomers were anywhere from 20 to 35.

1945-1960. Sure. Seems a breath away from a neat ten year increment, but sure.

I disagree.

In 1980, it was kinda close, 45v44 (18-21yo) and 44v44 (22-29yo), but I wouldn’t say they were “overwhelmingly against”. By 1984 they seemed quite in favor of him. They had help, no doubt, but they were not largely against; marginally against at most.

They say naphtha is

an essential feedstock for the petrochemicals used in Taiwanʼs semiconductor and electronic component manufacturing

but where in the manufacturing process is it used?
A DDG search turned up a naphtha cracking plant in Taiwan that was converted in the construction of a new plant, and a bunch of hits for renewable naphtha methods, but no mention of how it’s used or why it’s needed.

Gotcha. Cheers!

Hahaha, ok I won’t.

And it was really the second paragraph I wanted to post. You’re right, the first part could be fiction, but it feels quite real right now, which is why I liked it as well. But the second part is undeniable. Challenge them anywhere and everywhere; on everything, on all their lies. Turn their world upsidedown, tear asunder their illusions, send the sanctuary of their ignorance crashing down around them.

Anyway, hard agree, no post to BestOf, best bullying wishes to you, may your references quickly spring to mind during your future arguments.

Sweet Jesus, Everett. Can I post this to c/BestOfLemmy?

This is true. As have I.

The link worked (on Jerboa) for me, mate. Not sure why they caught hell here. Maybe folk didn’t bother to actually click through? Idk.

I bet if one makes a post specifically for Valente’s piece it will climb fast. I figured most of lemmy had already seen it, then it quickly got upvoted and commented. -shrugs-

edit: Wow, was I wrong or what?

If it didn’t hurt, he wouldn’t cry.

I’m curious if insurance pays out more than trying to sell it. Are there those who would be happy to take the insurance money, and buy something non-American with it?
