We may never have a good answer for why the gay nerdy communists love the colorful scifi communist space adventures

Eh I feel like that is semantics. If we are specific and refer to how individuals adapt to be lactose tolerant, you could still say "humans evolved to drink milk" instead in reference to how the population of humans that could adapt and become lactose tolerant grew in relation to humans that couldn't.

Don't appeal to evolution, evolution is weird. Evolution just does whatever survival says. If we can survive drinking milk, evolution is cool with it. But evolution is weird, evolution will be all like "You like cows milk huh? That's cool, have you considered shrinking down and losing your brain and most internal organs to become a nipple latching milk parasite? No? Ok, I'll ask again later."

Switching to propane is one safer alternative that is being recommended for people with natural gas lines to their houses, it is less leaky and cleaner burning than the methane stuff. Propane won't be banned, but it will become more expensive as supplies dwindle.

If you have an air conditioner you already have a heat pump, it just needs to be one that can alternate directions between heating and cooling. Also, backup emergency heat would not need to be nearly as extensive as a full house propane furnace. Or, you could just use a propane emergency generator instead and keep using the heat pump. Propane can be stored long term much more easily than alternatives like gasoline, and while it can be pricier, just having enough for emergencies is not a great cost.

Batteries or generators could also work for heat pumps, or you could have emergency backup propane heat. Basically the short answer to your concern is "prepare" just like how you handle every other emergency situation like that ever, regardless of what kind of heating system you use.

Also a big part of it is fixing up your insulation. Modern insulation is great, a well insulated house is super cheap/easy to heat.

What???

This is about heating homes in winter, what are you talking about?? Electric fans are more efficient at what?

Oh, at least they got all that harmless weed and non-addictive hallucinogenics off the street... Waste of taxpayer money to fuck with that.

Why do you have to be rude? They were simply claiming the classes were not effective at their apparent goal of making students more ethical. It doesn't mean they don't think doctors should be ethical.

I also had to take a required ethics class, and it was the worst taught class I ever took there. It wasn't effective at teaching me about ethics, it was just a pile of bad tests, and it certainly wasn't effective at convincing me and the other students to be more ethical in our respective careers.

The free website where many people put up easy to access high quality educational resources is a great way to learn stuff on a budget. Not all of youtube is great but being rude to people who watch youtube videos to make yourself feel bigger is shitty.

I don't agree with you, but I really like the word "gringe", so good job.

I've always wondered if this photo would be better or worse if he used both hands on the gun instead of just one.

Also each of them resists different type of foods better. Wax paper will hold up to wet food, and parchment paper holds up better to oily food.

This is not anything I can prove just personal experience so take it with a grain of salt
