Wind turbines also.

But some solar does focus it on a tower to make steam to drive a turbine.

I’m talking long before digital channels existed. (In the US anyway)

Even before the 2000s they started showing a blue screen instead of static.

That wasn’t just a digital or flat panel thing.

But of course old sets were around for a long time.

Because if they did consider themself Latino, it might sound more like a personal complaint instead of just a general question.

One of my friends in middle school had the last name Morris, so I think of it as a last name.

Absolutely.

Genetically I’m around 50% descended from people of a culture that I simply wasn’t raised in, which is associated with a religion I never practiced (as opposed to the different religion I left)

Based on looks I could easily identify as that culture and strangers wouldn’t question it. They also don’t question my lack of doing so.

Not what you asked for, but my solution is mice that take AA or AAA batteries, and use Ni-MH rechargeables in them. I keep all the spare batteries charged, and take the charger and some spares with me when traveling.

In fact I no longer buy one-use AA or AAA at all for anything, mostly because they leak and destroy stuff.

Hamilton is a last name. I won’t doubt that there are some people who have it first (not checking), but they probably have two last names.

Never heard of this channel before. Thanks!

My immediate reaction before opening the link: “No.”

Yet I somehow got 96.6% twice.

Visually, I certainly wouldn’t call them 3.4% away from perfect. I’m guessing there’s some allowance for imperfection even at 100%.

Look up “bimonthly pay”.

Fortnightly is fine, so is biennial.

All of the other bi-timeperiod words are worthless because they mean both twice each time and every two times.

Biweekly and bimonthly each also meaning their respective reciprocals.

(Every two periods, or twice a period.)

If a technical term such as a frequency specifier has multiple incompatible meanings then it has no value and needs to stop being used entirely. Or one of the meanings chosen as correct and the others rejected forcefully (good luck with that)

I assume it was just named after r/politics - like most of the other communities here during the migration.

RIP

I haven’t opened the link yet, but I assume OP means Signal to noise ratio. (Specifically the ‘Other uses’ section if it didn’t jump there)

Another thing that’s barely on the chart: Foreign Policy, some fraction of which would be the genocide.

It just wasn’t the influential issue that much of Lemmy wished it were, and clearly not the reason Harris lost.

Doesn’t make them wrong.

Even Nate Silver just turned off his model tonight because it was still showing Harris ahead when she very obviously wasn’t.

The implied part is ‘rich’. It isn’t a guarantee.

In the US, “estates” sounds vaguely wealthy. For example, a fancy garage sale is an Estate Sale (which kinda implies a rich person died and this is their estate being liquidated.)
