It doesn’t seem that leftist to me. Are you a shrink? Or are you using some kind of folk diagnosis to determine she’s mentally unwell?
What kind of ideology strips individuals of the right of self determination to live and be called whatever they want? That’s what most civilized people call extreme.
Can you give an example of “valid” scare quotes? Or a definition even?
My data point: old Kona Electric vs new Ioniq 6.
Acceleration is faster, but not twice as fast. It does charge 40-50% faster though, and that is life-changing.
Not twice the range but 360 mi vs 220 mi is a huge improvement.
More than twice as comfortable, and that’s switching from the top of the line to the base model. Mostly due to better climate controls and a huge amount of legroom.
Both have 5 star Euro NCAP scores. But now the lane keep assist now works at any speed and there are more warnings about cars and other obstacles, so there’s a safety improvement.
And it’s not twice the price: the MSRP was cheaper!
Jam Handy films were amazing. You could show this to an audience who was morally opposed to learning about differentials and they’d still learn about differentials.
Yes! At least once a week. Mostly to try out new apps and immersive content. I’ve taken it on a couple trips to capture immersive video, but never in public spaces, because that would be weird and I don’t want to be mugged.
The Zojirushi 3 cup induction is the highest scoring rice cooker tested by Consumers Union. It was expensive but it makes excellent rice and you don’t have to be precise with the water. I hope to have it for the rest of my life.
The feedback loop in education is several years long. Before a charter school develops a bad reputation, they just change their name, put up a banner declaring "Under New Management" and continue right along with better PR.
The promise of future pensions can't be used to pay bills, though. The teacher still has to survive in the world using the dollars that show up on their paycheck today.
The latter is probably a better name if there are other functions involving "ownership" (give_ownership, split_ownership, etc.), but otherwise you're right.
It's sometimes just called "popcorn salt" and it's exactly as you describe. (And it can also be made at home from regular table salt with a food processor or mortar & pestle.)
On the Log Ride at Knott's Berry Farm they have infrared light beams above the log flume that trigger a loud pre-recorded "Sit down!" message if you raise your hands up too high.
It was so much fun in Jr High to try and set them all off.
