About 600-700 were civilians, of whom we know some were killed by IOF forces. Split it down the middle and maybe resistance forces killed 350 on the high end, in a crossfire
Yeah, it's buying time at best
This is the kind of maybe-yes maybe-no sarcasm I live for
There is daylight between the parties on LGBT issues, IMO. Republicans have placed it as a central pillar, with promises to persecute, and we all know the dems won't go to the mat over this. All it will take is a poison pill slipped into a committee and the dems will say they had no choice.
Dems aren't generally looking to actively persecute queer people, they'll cede ground, but the party as a whole isn't building around it. This IS a distinction. There are donors and notable people that the dems may not want to give up readily (Queer orgs donate and volunteer in numbers, and Hollywood actors are mixed in with enough queer people that it's personal for some of them).
I just tell libs that if they really want Kamala to win, GOTV is historically much more effective than arguing about it. It's my thought-terminating cliché that masks my apathy for their cause with the vaguest sentiment of goodwill.
How well did it maintain heat as elements were added?
I prefer a coil to induction if we're talking capabilities. You can work around slow responses on coil by using 2 burners or simply pulling the pan and allowing inertia to cook while a single burner cools.
You can't workaround an induction's inability to convect when convection is called for.
Water boils more slowly, sure, but it will boil eventually
One of the most frustrating things about induction for me is that if a pan develops any sort of curve, it's as good as a paperweight. It will heat only on that tiny point of contact.
Great for the electricity bill tho
Nah, there are a lot of people in the global north who can cook their asses off. Sure, a lot can't, but cooking is a fundamental life skill and even colonists have culinary traditions.
No matter what, somebody must cook. More people in the global north are eating out, sure, but there are people cooking for them like AmericaDelendaEst, and those numbers add up. Increasingly, fewer can afford to eat out anyhow, and learning to cook at home has become an outright necessity for most.
Prepackaged ready-to-eat meals aren't as cheap as they used to be, and you can get tired of them very quickly too
Yeah, democracy. Y'know, like Israel.
