Meanwhile Russia accepts Nazis in its ranks with open arms, besides being the darling of the Republican party. It’s not a coincidence that the only American politicians/pundits who support Russia and constantly whine about Ukraine are all conservative.
The Azov Battalion was accepted as part of the military. That means that the entire military accepts them. Zelensky has banned every single leftist party in the country and continued the killings agaisnt civilians in Donbas
If a woman was to rate a guy’s sexual perf, I highly doubt that dick size would come anywhere near top 3. I thought people stopped thinking it was soooooo important after highschool or so…
Pounds are a measure of weight (force) not mass like grams. Stone is the imperial measure of mass and slug is the standard unit (US unit). In metric Newtons would be equivalent to pounds.
I think in most common usage people use pounds as a measure of mass (convertible to kg). It’s why when you really mean force the abbreviation lbf (pound-force) exists, as opposed to the now more usual pound-mass.
A pound at one gravity is equivalent to 2.2 kg at 1 gravity. Outside of aerospace there’s not really a need to distinguish between mass and weight so it kind of gets used interchangeably.
It just bothers me when people complain about units and then use the wrong kind of unit.
My point is that in common use a pound does refer to mass (not weight). For example the US Code defines that 1 pound = 0.453 592 37 kilogram. See also en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_(mass).
I came here to say this. A chunk of mass that “weighs” 100 grams is still 100 grams on the moon. A chunk of mass that weighs 1 pound does not weigh 1 pound on the moon.
But if prices don’t go up, the profits won’t increase! Why doesn’t anybody think of the poor shareholders, trying to barely eke out an income from their holdings?
You’d like to think that oil is going out of style. It’s not. All of the focus is currently on the automotive sector.
I will first say that despite commitments and developments in the right direction from the industry, the commitment to gas and diesel extends a minimum of another decade. It’s a combination of slow-walking changes and taking advantage of lack of replacements for current sectors of transportation, most notably being long-distance transportation.
And that’s not to mention all of the other industries that use petroleum or derivatives thereof.
I wish I could agree that oil is going out of style, but it’s not. There is ongoing work to offer alternatives, but oil is going to ride strong until the end. Then it’ll be someone else’s problem. Just like everything else.
