Yes, that's psychological projection.

But in these situations, people are referring to the technique of propaganda projection.

One in 3,000 women die from pregnancy or birth complications in the US each year.

Making women remain pregnant inevitably causes deaths.

They're separate arguments from your original claim that RvW is not life threatening.

And while risk of death is fortunately relatively low in the US, it's only one of the many negative consequences of the repeal.

Many women survive the birth only to be inflicted with any one of a range of physical medical issues, including life long disability and chronic pain.

There's also deep mental issues that arise.

Likewise, there are the potential negative health concerns for the baby to consider.

On top of that, there's all the many socio-economic problems.

I'm not saying there are easy answers to all this, but I'm not minimizing the issues either.

"But... but... but at least we stuck it to the libs didn't we? Right?... Right???!"

It doesn't matter what the majority wants in regards to your claim of no deaths. That's just unfullfilled hopes and wishes.

We're talking about the reality right now. And the reality is that the repeal has directly given the "extremists" the power to cause more maternal deaths, as you just acknowledged.

Again, you're talking about different issues.

CrowdTangle, MetaSpark, Moves, Onavo, Bump, Parse, etc

Yep, it's only a matter of time before he'll be talking about "invading Austria where all those kangaroos and koalas live"

Most style guides and standards accept either spelling, especially when writing for general audiences.

For strict, formal writing, "lede" is still preferred.

IKR. I was in a costume hire shop a few years ago and asked the shop lady (age late ~20s), "do you have a Zorro costume?" She asked me, "What's a Zorro?" Faaark I'm officially old!

True story. Antonio Banderas then ran into the store, yelled "Oi!" and stormed out.

To be fair, commercial long-life nickel-iron batteries are already being sold for grid storage. The main reason they aren't used more widely is they cost more up front.

That's ok, because they still cost less than alternatives over the full life span of the battery.

The risk is that the higher purchase cost required will likely be wasted as new battery tech surpasses it long before its life is over.

So for now, it's all about weighing opportunity cost, tech lock-in, and early obsolescence

• Dying of covid to own the libs.
• Losing their jobs to own the libs.
• Losing their social security to own the libs.
• Losing their health care to own the libs.
• Breathing increased pollution to own the libs.
• Paying higher prices to own the libs.

Shooting themselves in the foot over and over... "Ha! Take that libs!"

(Sooooo much winning /s)

Reading the article, the investigation isn't a case of independent labs getting hold of the battery and definitively disproving Donut's claims. It's battery experts and researchers looking at the data Donut has released and saying, "these claims are extraordinary and the evidence doesn't yet convince us. Here's what we think the battery actually is." That's a very reasonable scientific position, especially when you're talking about 400 Wh/kg, 5-minute charging, and 100,000 cycles all at once.

But without independently tested samples, there are still a lot of unknowns and inferences involved. That's not to say the skeptics are wrong, but it's still arguably a case of skeptics being skeptical... reasonably so, but based on analysis of the available evidence rather than direct examination of the battery itself.

Yes, resource availability isn't the issue, and "just invest more" has some massive hurdles:

• China has over 25,000 patents in the field of rare earths
• China doesn't have the strict environmental-protection regulations like much of the rest of the world. It keeps the price very low, but at great cost to its environment from toxic run-off and the like
• Complex, expensive solvent extraction processes require extensive experience that China is well ahead of the rest of the world on
• China has a highly integrated supply chain from mining to finished product manufacturing

All these mean any processing outside of China is going to be incredibly expensive and competitively unprofitable. It's not impossible to do, and removing dependence from China is probably worth it, but it's going to take a lot of capital and time to achieve and sustain.

Yes. Only in the EU and only since 2024 when Apple was forced to do it by new laws. It's reasonable to assume Google would be subject to the same laws.

If you live outside if the EU, it's "no sideload for you!" There are computer programs that can do sideloading to iPhones, but they have limitations, like having to refresh the sideloaded apps every seven days.

Large industrial farms got subsidies. Many small farms went under permanently.

And for every job that was saved, it cost the US ~$900,000.

But the saddest thing were the TV interviews of some of the farmers who had lost the business that had been in their families for generations. Many of them were saying that they still believed in Trump.

They figuratively shot themselves in the foot and were yelling "Ha! Take that libs"

The sustained dose from a class 1 lidar is well below critical safety levels. You're no more likely to get cancer from car lidar than you are from regular use of household LED lights. But sure, let's just add lidar to the long list of things that people will irrationally scaremonger about.

Sure, anyone can sign with a key. Having THE key is the extraordinary part.

Yes, China dumps EVs on other markets.

But here are some extra insights to consider about the issue:

• To curb dumping, many countries already have, or are introducing, high tariffs against Chinese EVs. Biden had a 100% tariff on EVs, Canada is 100%, India is 70-100%, the EU is up to 45%, Brazil is ramping up to 35%, etc.
• Around 90% of all EVs China produces are sold in China. So even if EV dumping ends, it'll have only a minor effect on production
• Dumping is caused by over supply of Chinese EVs at the moment. Some countries, like the US under Trump policies, are deliberately attempting to drive down EV demand, further adding to the issue. And as with all markets, over supply can't be sustained indefinitely, so it's predicted that multiple Chinese EV manufacturers will go under or merge. This is normal in evolving markets
• China is innovating much faster with EV tech, especially with battery technology. Meanwhile the US under Trump is removing incentives for EV production and ownership, and causing significant market uncertainty. This will have a far greater effect on Chinese dominance of the technology than dumping
• China is in the majority of countries in offering government subsidies and tax breaks for emerging products, especially on things like R&D and infrastructure
• The US and other countries also dump products on a significantly larger scale. For example, the US government subsidizes corn which is sold to world markets under production cost. Exports of corn from the US in 2024 were ~$14 billion, while Chinese EV exports were under $5 billion

None of this is intended to condone China or any country dumping products, but as a warning about having overly simplified reactions to an issue without understanding the bigger picture.

Historians estimate that Jackson caused the death of 10,000 to 15,000 native Americans.

It's projected that Trump's defunding of USAID will kill around 14 million by 2030. 4.5 million of those will be children under the age of 5 (See Lancet study.) Throw in his health care roll backs, social services withdrawals, suicides from tariffs, etc. and that figure goes a lot higher.

From the article:

... early humans were able to tap into in the form of roots, starchy vegetables, and seeds.

These foods are all allowed and even encouraged on the paleo diet.

If anything, by limiting the list of starch sources to these foods, this article adds support for paleo.
