They’re gerrymanding congress, not your local city council

Taking control of a local government via an election remains doable for a modestly sized and motivated group. You can change things

It can with local support.

The outcome of that is less availability of groceries, long treks to buy food, and higher prices.

What’s actually needed is a unionized competitor

Sure… but you need to do it in a way that keeps them listening

Yeah. Breaking that was what the New Deal was about; it shifted wealth away from the robber barons and created a generation of broadly if imperfectly shared prosperity

Also: if you’re a white-looking US citizen buttonhole them and tell a very very long and pointless story. The more time they spend listening to you, the less harm they can do.

I strongly recommend getting a fitting and spending some time riding with a local club. The former makes sure you’re comfortable, the latter can familiarize you with riding on roads and get you into better shape

Pretty much anything more complex than a bicycle has that effect

With Flock and the airline data sales, its very difficult to protect offline privacy

Billionaires and Presidents can very easily surround themselves with people who tell them what they want to hear.

I don’t think everybody is clapping

The current regime thinks that anybody with darker skin than they have is a theat to the whiteness of the country. So they’re sending everybody with darker skin that they can to concentration camps

Yeah, some of the older pots don’t have a ferrous layer and won’t work with induction.

Mine has a lock controls button that I use to prevent things turning on when I clean. You need to long-press it, and a brief wipe with a damp cloth won’t trigger that button

Yes, you need a full-size unit that plugs into a 240v high-amp stove outlet like a range does. The 120v countertop units dont do it.

This is a far worse experience than I have had with a consumer induction cooktop. Im able to simmer, low-temperature frying, and the likes just fine

It should be possible to do a 2-3cm gap between induction coils and base of pot.

There are wok induction stoves with a curved surface for a matching wok

I’m expecting similar side effects from mRNA vaccines as in past years, but actual local appointments don’t start until next week, so I haven’t heard any direct experiences.

You might try Novavax which was made using a different process if the mRNA ones take you down for a day

I think they being sold outside the US
