Cracker isn’t an epithet that native Americans have ever used though.

Paleface would be the matching slur to redskin.

That takes care of a small fraction of oil.

Plastics production makes up ~45% of all petroleum production.

Then you have shipping. Aircraft. Trucking. Then you have passenger vehicles.

I mean, even the EU already exempted iMessage from the new rules.

Because they already follow a standard. SMS and MMS.

And with them adopting RCS? There’s nothing they can force to open iMessage.

lol ok.

The vast majority of androids are worse for repairability. The ones that get more than a year or two of support don’t have any parts available. The ones that do get support have far worse physical restrictions like straight up gluing parts in.

The rest you mention, >99% of people don’t do anyway.

Gonna be real fun to see the crash test rating.

Without crumple zones, all of the kinetic energy goes into the occupants.

Ethanol sure. There are hundreds of kinds of alcohols.

Cholesterol is an alcohol. Sorbitol is an alcohol. Ethylene glycol is an alcohol. Propylene glycol is an alcohol.

No, because the alcohol in a drink (ethanol) is still not a solution.

That’s not the original meaning either. The original meaning came from Arabic for a stibnite distillation used as eye liner. It came from Al-kuhl. It’s the same way that “spirit” came to mean a hard liquor. Distilling something down to its purest form was meant to harness the “spirit” of the thing.

A given spirit is a solution of alcohol and water, but alcohol itself is not. Which makes the whole “technically” part of the joke fall flat.

But, it’s not. Alcohol is not a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances, nor a substance dissolved into another.

It’s its own chemical category of one or more hydroxyl groups bound to a saturated carbon atom.

No. Israel has said they are going for the total destruction of Hamas. Hamas is a government entity and the ruling government of Gaza.

Hamas has said they are going for the total destruction of Israel the nation. Including all Jewish civilians. Not the government, all Jewish people in Israel.

That’s been Hamas’ position for years. They want to eliminate all Jews from the region.
