Dang that sucks

Oh dang. Was LineageOS not viable for your particular phone or is something wrong with LineageOS itself?

Yes I read the article and that ambiguous language doesn't challenge what I said.

This is a really bad idea. The kind cooked up by academic transportation grifters looking to take a pile of money from the government to do a bad idea with the right buzzwords. This is how the bazinga industrial complex works.

Oh God that's even worse. Guaranteed collisions via an unnecessary slow-moving part that is assumed to always function correctly.

Rail comes in pairs already so that you only have to build one engineered area, tunnel, bridge, etc. This is a bazinga idea.

The concept art shows both rails being used by a single car but still having the balancing problem. Worst of both worlds.

Yeah that would also work.

I honestly think they are distinct, just playing for the same team. Playing different positions in defense of the capitalist order. Of course to do this they must collaborate and justify each other in some way, materially if not rhetorically.

To know the difference you just need to look at the role they're playing.

Hegel's relation to Marxism is that Marx and Engels were big Hegel nerds (the Young Hegelians) before they got cool and they decided to incorporate a small piece of Hegel's thinking (the dialectic) while flipping all the rest on its head.

So it's useful to know Hegel so you know the lineage of thought but important to know that Marx used Hegelian thought as a critical target more than anything.

Ice is made up of water molecules. Very tiny things.

When water molecules move around really fast, that's the exact same as them being hot. They are steam when they move around a lot, and steam is hot - and a gas. Steam might even be so hot it hurts - that's because they're smashing into the molecules in your body and making them move around too even when they shouldn't and could damage you. Your body senses this and sends you pain signals so that you know to move away from the steam.

Water molecules can also stick together. With steam, the molecules move so much that they're just bouncing around all over the place and the stickiness doesn't really matter. If two water molecules stick together in steam, other ones are likely to ram into them and break them up This is why steam billows out in all directions. When water molecules in steam cool down, as in slow down, their stickiness to each other becomes a more important factor than before. The molecules still move around, just less than before. They interact with one another, keeping themselves tied together in the same general area but still moving a lot. This is why water settles into one place in a glass and why you can pour it as a room temperature liquid.

When water molecules get even cooler, the stickiness starts to matter even more. The molecules aren't bouncing off each other much anymore, they're just stuck together. This is what a solid is and ice is a solid.

Now, I've been saying stickiness, but with how small water molecules are, and what they're made of, it's actually very specific properties of the molecules that make them interact to "stick" together, with the strongest one being charge polarity. But that's for a difference explanation!

Finally: so, for ice to melt, you need to get its molecules moving again. One way to get them moving is to expose them to a hot material, i.e. one that's moving around a lot. Put your ice cube on a room temperature table and it will slowly melt because the molecules in the air and table are moving along so much that if the water molecules were doing the same they'd be in "liquid mode". Another way is to add energy to the system in the form of radiation, which induces movement within the molecules and, therefore, between them since they're in close proximity. The reason it makes them move is complicated and is literally quantum mechanics so I'll also leave that for a different explanation.

I'm just guessing but assuming this is the creators making a direct commentary then I would say X-Rays are for seeing what's inside a person, not just skin deep or by appearances. Liberals and fascists act very similarly at the end of the day so it may be the they're just saying that liberals have a different idea on "the inside" vs fascists. This tracks with my understanding of them, which is that liberals think of themselves as good people in favor of "progressive" values (but not acting on them too quickly!) fighting the good fight for liberation and equality (in some incoherent form, e.g. liberals are usually still pretty racist). Fascists tend to be pretty in touch with their hatred of the marginalized and celebrate violence against them. They still think of themselves as good people but have no illusions about "progress", they are reactionaries that openly want to roll back the clock on various "issues".

But I may be reading too much into it. It may also be that the creators are just making fun of this person, as these characters are depicted in a way to make some criticisms of academic communists. Maybe they're just letting them say something that's both valid in many ways and stupid in some others to suggest their thoughts are unclear.

It's fantastic.
