Also a linguist would of course dedicate a chapter to the pure joy of rhymes, verses, and words that feel fun to say

But Trump himself hasn't done too much awful stuff: it's his insane followers who have killed people and tried to overthrow the government, he just rides those waves. Could you imagine what DeSantis could do to rile up actual fascism if America executed Trump for treason? Never givea heavily armed fascist 40% of a country a martyr.

Maybe that's why they haven't cracked down on him. Justice is about accountability and preventing future harm, it's not supposed to be purely punitive or retaliatory, and if he exiled himself and was convicted in absentia that would take care of a lot of issues vs the hazard of him being a "political prisoner" for years on end.

Many coup and counter-coup leaders in history end up in exile as a bargain: don't try to retake the throne and bring more pain to our people and we won't seek vengeance.

No, Linux and Mac can open ZIP as easily as anything besides TGZ.

They also let you just fill in whatever for height and weight, I'm surprised they even care about gender and age

And that's not really "de" it's just stopping where you're comfortable at. Which is exactly what everyone should be doing anyway. "De" implies feeling like you completely made a mistake and want to undo what was done, simply stopping hormones doesn't necessarily accomplish that and non-binary is a totally valid identity

America still exists and writes its own history books, so (remember, good means us, not objectively more moral)

It worked for Hitler, and the Republican Party seems to be taking straight from his playbook. ("Mein Kampf" means "my struggle" and was written in jail in ~1924 during his 5 years in prison for a failed coup attempt. Trump appears to be trying to speedrun the whole thing.)

In order to stop Nazis you have to stop the ideology of fascism which is unfortunately sorta baked into America's racist puritanical capitalist genocidal origins. Hitler even took notes from American Jim Crow policies and racist/poisonous border controls. We have to fight this colonialist abusive mindset at all levels, from uncles and stepdads and cops to CEOs, investors, and politicians.

Yes this is a good point, you don't want i.e. tiny capillaries in areas with low circulation to be heating up before you notice other places.

If you can't feel your hand heating up if you hold it near the oven and sensors or thermometer strips don't register any temperature increase outside the oven when it's on then nothing substantial is escaping. The amount of 2.4ghz energy required for indoor communication is on the order of tenths or hundredths of a watt, whereas the amount of energy required to cook food is on the order of 1000 watts. So you're talking about a 10,000-100,000-fold difference in magnitude.

For non-ionizing EM radiation like radio waves and normal light (as opposed to ionizing radiation that can cause cancer by knocking bits off your DNA like UV rays and X rays) the danger is in, essentially, cooking your flesh. For radio professionals determining if a microwave antenna or cell phone is safe for your body, we calculate watts per square centimeter, in other words how much electrical energy is delivered to your skin's surface. When a radio professional messes up and gets exposed to dangerous levels of energy, they experience it as feeling very warm or burning, and may suffer symptoms similar to a sunburn or, worst case, like putting a body part in a microwave oven.

Also because of how rays of energy work mathematically against surfaces, every foot you stand away will exponentially decrease the amount of energy you'd possibly receive: standing 6 feet away will give you 2.8% the dose versus standing 1 foot away. So even if you have a dangerously defective oven, just don't hang out with your face pressed to the glass and you'll have much bigger things to worry about in life.

TLDR: there's no voodoo scariness behind microwaves, just try to make sure they're not warming you up and cooking you, especially for extended periods of time. You'd probably notice if they were.

The main hazard of putting an electronic device in a microwave is that it heats up and catches fire or ruins your food.

Hi sorry that it does not have (we would need to find an open source of that info to include it) I don't read German and I was answering quickly
