Gen 7 came out November 2016.
Oh, billionaires and their submarines. I wish Elon wanted to tour the Titanic.
As you said, friction would introduce more wear and maintenance. This gentleman's idea is to attach a windmill to drive the rotary induction wheel, which would essentially be "free" heat energy, and an interesting hobby contraption. Entertainment and a sense of accomplishment is probably his main goal.
Its not a brand new idea, just a different application of the principle. Induction generators already exist, and they can indeed be used with windmills, but to generate AC current versus heat energy.
More power to this fun and crazy inventor. Maybe he can find practical and reproducible use for this effect. If not, he's gonna have the most unique water heater ever invented. With this he could make a fully mechanical hot water heater that burns no fuel and uses no electricity. He would just have to make a mechanism to disengage a clutch at the top temperature.
You remember businesses calling everyone who worked a low appreciation job heroes? CNAs got the shittiest end of the stick on that I think.
Giant banners calling you heroes greet you as you drive on the lot of the nursing home, and you look at them knowing you're going to get physically shit on by the patients, and proverbially shit on by the higher level nurses, the administration that now works remote, the family of the patients, and of course the patients again as well. For $12/hr. And you're extra short staffed because anyone that could find travel work did. Brutal shit for them.
...he expects authorities to use “good common sense.”
He knows they're gonna murder someone, right?
Oh they're doing plenty. Deregulation, accepting bribes, dismantling of social programs, curtailing freedom, and actively fighting against any improvements to society, government, or business. Ya know, the Republican platform.
Unironically, yes. What's your argument, that you are so against 1 genocide that you will enable a 2nd? I don't like that our choice is enabling 1 slaughter or 2, but how in the deranged hell do you think choosing more slaughter gives you the moral high ground?
More awkward, they arrive at the same time. Fucking daylight savings time.
There's nothing stopping Ukraine from accepting them as citizens. But that is Ukraine's decision to make, seeing as it's their country. And yes, if they decide that illegal settlers should be kicked out, hell, why were they there to begin with?
I imagine roughly how America ended the Vietnam war. Russia would have to initiate some willingness to stop the war with favorable conditions, and then talks could start. That's actually right there in the articles you linked with BoJo in them.
It'd likely take nothing less than ceasefire without conditions, returning all occupied Ukrainian territory, including Crimea. And if Russia doesn't like that, I'd love to see people start talking about historical borders again and we can joke about restoring the empire of Kiev.
And then, just like the Vietnam war, they can strut around saying they didn't lose the war, they just agreed on favorable terms.
Edit: Actually, I may even be a bit too pessimistic here. There's a low, but still possible chance that the tucker interview could be that message. I invite nothing less but the opportunity for Putin to publicly surrender. It would be a great thing.
It seems like a compromise price, though it should be free or near free at the point of "purchase" in any first world nation. The sheer fact that it was controversial to even compromise at $35 and still allow a hefty profit on a medicine you would die without is a testament to how fucked up American healthcare has become.
What if I'm an open minded carnist, but also enjoy dramatic internet flame wars?
