@VoxDei "polite by their own standards" is not the same as "polite". You can not be a racist or homophobe and be polite.
Antivaxxer is another matter, thats stupid but not neccesarly impolite. So easy enough to ignore or even just silence it out of your tineline. But no need to block really.
@thor it was removed sometime ago
@ottocrat one thing that is clear from discussions of rail infrstructure in ghr companies i visist... their feasability is all about population density.
England has a very small fraction of the population density if china. The cost to benefit ratio, therefor, is much less.
@kemal ill only be in bangkok for 5 days thrn ill soend most of the time in shang mai
Yes in fact as long as its cold enough out youd be running a heater then it is not just energy effecient, it is 99%effecient... effectively it uses no (additional) energy to run.
@koherecoWatchdog my dryer vents into the room, not sure how common that is though.
The condenser version, i guess it drains the water that it collects... interesting.
@gpowerf id love to visit there sometime
@koherecoWatchdog wait, thry make dryers that dont expel the hot air from inside the dryer at all? How does the humid air get out?
Ahh ok, we talking about systems that vent to the outside not the ones that vent directly into the room?
What is the logic behind wanting to ban them?
Actually you are right, i read the graph wrong. The rise was significantly later
@Pat ok ill fix
@jaysonmassey that is pretty cool!
@RustyStriker it is expected and always takes a few years for the inevitable rise to hit. Thats because when bans are passed there is several years before those guns get off the streets.
@KonaLowell Caring about gun rights is caring about children. Because when we ban guns or restrict them we see a consistent pattern (hiwever countrr intuitive) of violent ctimes of various types exploding. Rape being one of the most effect types of violence we often see spike.
For sure this single graph alone doesnt say much. But when we look at violent crimes across various countries placed against the date if a ban. The pattern starts to show itself pretty quickly when you start looking at this data. I bosted just a bit earlier thr same style graphs for 4 additional countries.
