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.

Ah, evolutionary psychology. The realm of making shit up and somehow getting to be a professor for doing so.

It’s enough but you’ve gotta be ready to pay for a $1 million small bungalow, so $200k up front and a $4k/month mortgage.

There is usually a per-router guide on installation. Sometimes you can just use the built-in firmware flashing interface, sometimes you have to do funny things like do that twice in a row, sometimes you need to access a special interface.

One you can put openwrt on and that is fast enough for the highest 802.11 protocol your devices support

90% of the time, the manager is just reproducing what they think they’re supposed to be doing regardless of whether it helps anything.

See: the fact that 90% of the time these meetings will not have an agenda.

If I were you I’d probably just buy another 2020 Corolla or if I was feeling fancy a 2011.

Old stuff is your only option, imo. Almost everything in the last decade has some kind of tech bullshit in it.

Wrong. The first step in gardening advice is to call someone a kkkracker

A series of news weirdos on social media, a critical reading of major news outlets, issue-specific advocacy groups, individual journalists on YouTube etc, and criticism orgs line FAIR

Dunking on libs all day every day sucker

I hadn’t heard of radicle. I like that forgejo has CI

It always bothers me how engineers, mathematicians, and biologists all favor different notations for derivatives

Applies to both.

There was no issue re: nuance in your statements, they were just nonsensical and revealed a lack of understand the basic ideas of the topic. This trend has continued with this reply.

The DDR was socialist. However, it was state socialism, which in my opinion is not ideal and not something we should strive to replicate.

The framing of socialism as ownership of the means of production goes hand-in-hand with control over the state. It’s how it was originally formulated by Marx, Engels, etc. The term “dictatorship of the proletariat” is stated in the same breaths and texts and concepts. There is no such thing as non-state socialism in this conception, the only conception that is relevant to this discussion.

This is something a person would know if they had ever read even a basic summary of this topic.

Yes, the means of production were “owned by the people,” but the state tasks itself with protecting the people. And therein lies the problem with state socialism - the state is easily commandeered by a corrupt minority who then uses the governmental apparatus to run an authoritarian regime.

You’re even using the liberal NGO lexicon for this description! Vague generalizations about authoritarianism and cute little stories with no grounding in reality.

We should be able to recognize the imperfections in prior socialist attempts, without immediately calling it “capitalist NGO propaganda.”

It’s not hard to identify a poor understanding when you have, you know, actually learned about these things. And interacted with thousands of people just like you and know why they parrot such nonsense. If you had an informed or valid criticism that would be something to talk about, but we are not in that situation. I think we are looking at a graduate of Reddit University, with all the intellectual humility that implies.

Have you considered that you seem to know almost nothing about this and therefore shouldn’t share your opinion like it’s some kind of fact?

The USSR was a communist country. A normal use of that term is that a country communist is one that’s run by a communist party.

If you mean it didn’t achieve communism, well duh communism is a hypothesized society achieved through socialism where the state ceases to exist. No socialists, including the people of the USSR, would think that their nation-state has achieved communism as that’s oxymoronic. They would think of it as a transitional socialist state.

That is indeed what your capitalist NGOs tell you with unlimited funds.

Consider that socialism is about control over the means of production, of deposing the capitalist system, and that your dismissal of the DDR as socialist didn’t address that at all. Do you think it’s possible you’ve been lied to?

Nazi Germany wasn’t left and the USSR, which included more than Russia, was a transitional socialist country lol.
