He’s way too deep in bed with Russia, and has been since the 90s if not earlier, to ever be taken seriously. How the fuck he wasn’t disqualified and charge over election interference and acting as a foreign agent in 2016 is beyond me.

Nitrogen Hypoxia will render you unconscious in under a minute when its almost pure n2 and exhaust is accounted for to remove co2. The last execution was done on such a sloppily manner you seriously have to question if the procedure was done in such a way that to ensure maximum suffering. The mask used didn’t allow co2 to be vented away, their method of execution was only one step up from wrapping a bag around his head.

A proper way to do it, probably not done because cost and some stupid unnecessary procedure, would be to construct a booth around a chair with exhaust fans near the base and a supply of pure n2 coming from the top. If the o2 and co2 can be removed quickly enough the body can’t tell its not getting enough to breath and loss of consciousness can happen quickly with death following in minutes. Smarter Every Day has a video on Hypoxia where Dusten, the content creator, is an altitude simulator where they are lowering the air pressure to simulate high altitude and by extension just a few short steps from a death chamber. The host goes through several stages of hypoxia and had to be told point blank to put his oxygen mask back on several times before he risks passing out. At no point does he show signs of pain or distress and if anything acting almost like hes high.

Building a chamber like this for executions would have been far more humane but they didn’t want to put more thought or money into it than strangling a guy so instead you get that botch job Alabama used.

I mean… from the cat’s point of view that’s EXACTLY what it is emotionally.

In general I’d say yes if you like modern final fantasy where combat isn’t turn based and there is a lot more flavor to flesh out the world and NPC than games in the 90s could hope to perform. Pretty graphics, Decent overall voice acting, minigames that usually don’t overstay their welcome and you never feel caught up in one area too long. If you actually learn the various mechanics Id say the games are actually pretty easy overall, most people I see complaining don’t even know how combos work, or trying to button mash the same combo onto an optional boss.

90s (j)RPGs were a different breed all together compared to games today that have that title, so while knowledge of the first game would let you in on the fanservice and call back moments, those aren’t required and I’d be betting more than half of the people who played remake or rebirth never played the other FF7 games. In fact some players who did were upset that some characters or scenes were changed quite drastically because what was okay in '97 definitely would not be well recieved by wider audiences in '24

Stop inviting people to your house who shit in your living room, and also clean it all up. Both.

'Self Serving Motive" traditionally was surmised as you were not in line to inherit or profit from a person’s death. A doctor or employee of suicide booth incorporated would be allowed <humanely> end your life but a business partner holding a pillow over your face knowing they’d get majority share of your company could not.

It’s only one banana, what could it cost. Ten Dollars?

It is not that he’s ill informed, it is that he is willfully ignorant and utterly dishonest when the truth and facts don’t benefit him. Which given how much he lies, is pretty much all the time. It must be so be some miracle he didn’t try to bomb an ally (that we know of) and I can’t think of one good thing he did while in office that he wasn’t compelled to do so by laws, precedent and his few remaining competent staff preventing him from fucking it up.

Dam was only level 2 my friend and possibly the easiest level. I’m not even kidding here.

Nuclear land use is still below all other forms of energy generation when you take the whole lifecycle, from mining to refinement to production and construction, lile I said in my above post.

Most nuclear plants contain all their nuclear waste during their lifetime operation and transport after decommissioning. Yucca mountain was designed as a backup and assumed 30 years to fill if fuel rods were not reprocessed.

Cheap, safe batteries

Oh you sweet ignorant child. Industrial scale battery storage to offset solar for continues power during night time hours is horrifically expensive when you’re talking gigawatt grids, to say nothing of the severe safety hazard they are.

Nuclear only has one caveat is the price.

It’s the safest, bar none. More people died constructing the Hoover Dam than died in relation to Chernobyl and Fukushima combined.

It uses the least amount of land per megawatt produced. This applies both in raw terms of reactor size to generators, turbines or solar panels, or if you include all land needed to mine, process, refine, construct and decommission a form of energy. Cadmium based roof top solar is the only thing that comes close, which is not just niche use as no single building footprint can hope to produce enough power for a single floor, let alone high density structures, but cadmium based solar is also ridiculously expensive. And this metric fails to mention how inefficient battery storage for things like solar is, which further inflates the land use.

In terms of greenhouse gas emissions, be it carbon, methane and other climate devastating, Nuclear is the lowest in terms of emissions, and those emissions are all front loaded as part of the construction and mining process, which can theoretically be lowered with more RnD into greener practices for those industries.

So we have a source of power that is safe, efficient and proven that would allow us to put more land aside for conservation efforts which would help with carbon capture as well as lower emissions. And the only major downside is the higher upfront cost? Take a guess what’s going to happen to energy costs if we continue the current course and climate collapse continues to happen.

In what world has Trump done anything to suggest he’d support or push a ceasefire?

Harris has both said and done more to push for a ceasefire than literally every other candidate on the ballot.

There is no third party candidate that has a hope of winning right now, thus every vote for third party is the same as not voting.

And not voting is effectively the same as voting Republican, so you’re either voting for Harris, or you’re supporting Trump.

Sadly this is just damage control ahead of an election. What they say and what they do don’t match up. Within the next year, guaranteed that a healthcare worker is going to get prosecuted by the state for even suggesting to a pregnant woman an abortion would save her life, much less make moves to enable such an action.

If they gave the damn about the lives and long term health of mothers they wouldn’t have worked so hard to restrict abortion access and demonize anyone willing to say that not every pregnancy is safe to carry to term.

Zerg are pretty much useless to the Borg though because their adaption is entirely reliant on the knowledge and memories of the assimilated. They took over entire worlds in pursuit of knowledge to subdue 8472. And failed at every attempt in alpha canon.

The Zerg use a psionic hivemind, the vast majority of Zerg strains are not sentient, or effectively puppets for the sapient commanders of the swarmz usually cerebrates and later broodqueens, even things live Overlords are just relays.

The Borg have never been shown capable or willing to apply genetic modifications to drones, such as enhancing human drones with the physical abilities of vulcans or klingons that the nanites and implants don’t already imbue. Since Zerg evolution and mutations aren’t tech based, the borg can’t replicate it, which was their goal for 8472 in being able to use that tech for their own ends.

Borg ships also don’t have shields, so it’s just going to be drop pods infesting cubes and eating them inside out for biomass and infesting the rest of the structure for use as mobile hive clusters. It the 8472 were able to overcome nanites with their own immune systems, the Zerg would equally be able to become immune to such attacks particularly if Abjuthar had any part in it.

What about two entire expansion packs? Borg never got that!

Scourges would disagree. Also Leviathens are bigger than Cubes.

The Borg couldn’t even assimilate 8472 aka the Undine. The Zerg make those bastards look like baby’s first eugenics war. And thats not even factoring in Kerrigan’s BS writing.

I think you’re putting far to much faith in people willing to vote ®, their base would vote for them even as their families are sent to labor and death camps, while undecided and ‘independent’ voters will cast their ballot entirely on the last headline or 72 hours.

To me this reeks of Greene and other Magots realizing their wing of the party is imploding and will have to find a place in what ever GOP comes out the otherside of this election and the next midterm. Trump’s decline makes it pretty obvious they need someone else’s coattails to grab onto and rally around, so she’s trying to be the loudest voice in the room to be part of the new power structure if not the face of it.
