Difficult is not equal to impossible. Heat can be used to boil working fluids, which can be used to drive turbines, which can create energy, which can in turn be used to run AI chips, which give off heat, which can then also be harvested to boil working fluids...Not really a perpetual motion machine, but the inefficiency in the system can be used to suck more heat out of the heat pumps anyway. Inefficiency in this case is a feature.

Trump won't understand the point being made by flip flopping other than thinking they are "tough" like him. He can't grasp somebody mirroring his idiocy to make a point.

So maybe not.
I'd say TACO but Canada is the one Trump treats the worst, even more than China. They can't simply wait for TACO.

The stupid freaks who left the tribe because they were better at running than climbing trees ended up evolving into humans. One can't measure future success so it's folly to control breeding; however, the idiots who remove themselves from the gene-pool should not be prevented from serving their purpose!

We have to stop letting idiots avoid risk of harm. Don't give them wavers for imaginary bone spurs; for example ( in his specific case, it was the diapers they were covering up for - which is why his personal doc was a specialist in that.)

How about we give the ISPs a huge tax break to fund doing this themselves? Surely we can trust them to do the right thing? We'll have some congressional review to keep them honest... /sarcasm.

So... lets use a private for-profit corporation to handle this?? With higher CEO and admin salaries plus obviously a minimum 30% profit margin just to be a profitable business; plus endless schemes to extract increased profits.

Some classes of non-profits should have higher % donated than others; but unlike a private corp, they have to disclose their overhead waste. I would prefer a government office to manage this; they have less overhead cost and waste than most 3rd party organizations; especially contractors, which are the cause of most government waste.

mental retards are not disabled!
They mentally still function. Their cognition is impaired in various ways to various degrees.

Visually disabled people are blind. Visually impaired people use glasses or can't drive, etc.

Retards; for short, literally are mentally retarded by something; which literally using the meaning of the words could be temporary. The amount of drugs you take can retard your mental function...

Fuck all you ignorant PC morons! Wish you could grow up... but a moron is unable to get past the level of a teenager, generally speaking. So I'm wasting my time; I'm not a psychologist or special education teacher and even so you may be permanently moronic. The whole medical term was created because people were too PC about the prior medical terms: idiot, imbecile and moron. A century later and history repeats but we're still dancing around on a new replacement term.
