I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not…

I haven’t seen this mentioned enough. If you’re job is to move and protect your flock then being high up and able to see further helps a lot.

Also the fact you gotta hide that you’re filming your own army and allies should maybe be a clue you’re on the wrong side.

Agreed, but sometimes it’s not that simple.

Not a huge fan of the mod removing my comment either, crazy censorship for just saying war sucks.

Here we go.

1. Calculate the Starch Content in Potatoes:

Potatoes are approximately 18% starch by weight.

Total weight of potatoes: 10,000 tons = 10,000,000 kg

Starch content: 18% of 10,000,000 kg = 1,800,000 kg of starch

2. Convert Starch to Fermentable Sugars:

Starch must be broken down into glucose for fermentation. Assuming an ideal conversion:

Glucose yield: 1,800,000 kg (since starch is converted to an equal weight of glucose)

3. Fermentation to Ethanol:

The theoretical maximum yield of ethanol from glucose fermentation is about 51.1%.

Ethanol yield: 51.1% of 1,800,000 kg = 919,800 kg of ethanol

4. Convert Ethanol Mass to Volume:

The density of ethanol is approximately 0.789 kg/L.

Volume of ethanol: 919,800 kg ÷ 0.789 kg/L ≈ 1,165,902 liters

5. Calculate the Volume of Vodka Produced:

Vodka is typically bottled at 40% alcohol by volume (ABV).

Total vodka volume: 1,165,902 liters ÷ 0.40 ≈ 2,914,755 liters

Conclusion:

From 10,000 tons of potatoes, you can produce approximately 2.9 million liters of vodka at 40% ABV.

Oh agree, huge waste. But if it’s all that they have in guessing they don’t care.

Surely you can see tha difference between “conflict,” which implies roughly equal power and moral responsibility

It does not imply that at all, that’s a massive assumption on your end that you use as a point to press. Throughout history the term conflict has be used to talk about many wars/battles and not all of them were equal, at all.

I’m saying I’m a conflict there can be genocide. But if anything genocide doesn’t even capture the full scale of what’s happening beyond the pointless killings. Conflict is a much broader scope, including things like economic impact, infrastructure damage to the county, etc. It’s not one or three other. I agree genocide is bad and this conflict is bad and you’re arguing with me about how I’m not saying it’s bad enough because I used a word you don’t fully understand. What are you even doing?

You need to educate yourself on the terms being used and stop making assumptions then using those assumptions to label people. You’re mindset, while focused on something different, is bordering on MAGA.

If America isn’t a democracy why would you vote? Please tell me how that’s mental gymnastics. What’s mental gymnastics is declaring democracy doesn’t exist because you don’t like the candidates.

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying.

Got it, you think democracy doesn’t exist but every citizen has the same power as the president. Lol, from a guy who uses the term mental gymnastics all the time, now I know how you became so familiar with the term.

Here’s an exercise: why do you think fascism is rising in America? Is it ideas, or material conditions?

Because late stage capitalism is strangling the working class. So pro fascist leaders are using that to come into power. Just like every other before then, you blame all the problems on anyone standing in the way of your power and you tell people that you’re the only one who can fix it. Which is exactly, literally, what Trump has done over and over.

Now how about this exercise. Tell me what democracy is, by definition, and how the US does not fit that definition.

I’m not down playing anything, it’s you assuming and wanting to be extreme. Why don’t you call it the murder of innocent children, are you trying to play it down by using a single word?

Jesus, it’s not even about the issues with people like you, it’s just an excuse to feel righteous and go after people.

Jesus, why am I even wasting my time. I’ve voted in local elections, I’ve seen laws get passed by voters. That is how democracy works. You’re extreme view of “we can only vote for bad people” is beyond childish. The world is a fucked up place, we don’t always have the choices we would want. But saying some stupid shit like America isn’t a democracy is just ignorant and shows that you have no idea how or what a government is, let along are you equipped to have a conversation about it.

Nasty? Is it multiple conflicts, is it not in the middle east? Or are you just mad and want to use inflammatory words to drive a discussion off feelings not reality.

Ok, so no one should vote. Laws don’t matter. Nothing is real.

Wait, so you’re saying he has the same power to effect laws as president as he does as citizen? That’s just very wrong… You know plenty of dictators were voted in at some point right? A history lesson might serve you well.

No, but if you look beyond a single isolated thing you’re crusading for your realize that sending weapons over seas isn’t the only power the president has. The president can make the world much worse beyond a single conflict in the middle east.

You can’t see being that single issue. Other people are looking at long reaching impact. If my your admission they both want to send bombs, then look at what else they are doing. Try to effect some level of change and take action instead of just judging and bitching.

This seems to have devolved into blanket othering. Which is a great way to isolate yourself in an echo chamber.

Nah, it’s just an understanding of nuance and being able to see the long term effects of this election. Everyone who is posting stuff like this doesn’t seem to give a fuck about anything but this. It seems you are all ready to let the world burn everywhere else as long as we stop sending bombs.

To be clear, I don’t support what’s happening, at all. Full stop. But we have to help decide the future of one of the strongest countries in the world, there’s plenty to consider. For example, maintaining your right to even vote to effect issues like this in the future.

No average person wants genocide but we have to pick between two candidates. If you can’t see how one would be much worse in the long run than the other I dunno what to tell you. At least with one of them you can still vote and express your views. But nah, better to just roll the dice and boycott the both them hope for the best.

Better just to let democracy burn down. Can’t save one nation so let ours fall and have no chance to right the ship. Yeah that makes sense.

There are two people, by definition one is better. So you saying her being better is a lie must mean you think Trump is better. Which is insane.

Trump has full on said he is going to be a dictator and that people won’t have to vote anymore. With Harris we still have a voice and vote, with Trump democracy is at risk.

Acting like she isn’t the best chance to even have a shot at fixing things is naive.
