It just has to burn more fuel for each combustion cycle to keep the engine spinning at the same speed. It’s like how it’s easier to pedal a bike down an incline versus up the same incline, but your legs will still pedal at the same rate for the same speed (assuming you don’t change gears).

38·14 days agoI want utopian space communism, but I’m not going to hold out for only that ideal when I can support alternatives that are better than the current system.
“What someone said makes me uncomfortable because it challenges my government indoctrination. I have neither the self-awareness to recognize this nor the vocabulary to articulate it if I did, so I’ll just call them stupid instead.”
Classic American response.
The Democratic party largely runs on a platform based more on counteracting the Republican party less than substantially improving anything. Despite claiming to be progressive, they have slowly shifted to the right over decades, and manage to bungle easy wins again and again.

politics @lemmy.world•US justice department ‘forever’ bars IRS from auditing Trump’s past tax returns
65·19 days agoRemember that if you criticize the Democratic party and don’t ‘vote blue no matter who,’ you’re a Russian operative undermining the US election process. It’s not that you have a fully functional brain and see both sides are actually all on one side. Russian operative. Only option.

Flippanarchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Landlords are scalpers for houses.
3·20 days agoI think they’re not considering how the portion of rent that only goes toward the mortgage is still profit despite it not being accessible until the home is sold or a loan taken against its equity.

31·20 days agoFor what it’s worth, much of the rest of the world agrees with you. What you’re saying is quite obvious outside the influence of 24/7 US propaganda. I lived in the US for nearly a decade and was astounded by the fervent support for the Democrats despite their steady march to the right and betrayal of their constituents in the name of bipartisanship.
Your two parties employ the good cop/bad cop routine on a national scale. Should you opt for the good cop over the bad? Absolutely, because anyone who refuses to engage in damage control is an idiot, but you mustn’t forget they’re both cops and on the same team. The good cop is only being helpful because they want something, so they’ll do as much as they need to get it and will ultimately side with the bad cop over you to please their bosses: American oligarchs.
Be smart with your vote and choose the good cop, but don’t stop there. Work to kick both cops the fuck out, end your police state, and wrest control of the country from the oligarchs orchestrating the entire farce.

A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Data center "mistakenly" used 30 million gallons of water
1·24 days agoExcept contextually that makes no sense. The utility was already aware the data center would be using the water, they simply cocked up the process. Theft of service is utilizing a service with no intent to ever pay. It’s clear that wasn’t the case here.
Understand, I’m not defending the data center. I hope the damned thing burns to the ground. I just have this quirk where I care about the truth of situations, not exaggerating every possible angle so we can pretend it’s worse than it truly is. That’s the kind of hysterics the US and many other legal systems engage in, exaggerating charges to maximize penalties against their citizens, instead of seeking the truth of the matter. It’s wrong when they do it, and it’s just as wrong when we do it.

It’s about 48% successful on average. Individual success rates vary based on age, reason for using IVF, health and age of the mother, and the number of retrievals.
For a moderately healthy person in their early thirties, one retrieval provides about a 48% success, and three retrievals a 67% success rate.
