Hey guys! Was doing great in college until 2019 when I was kicked out at 18, finally back on my feet and going to school again but was wondering how I should get ready to take math again?...
One of those test-prep books or KhanAcademy would probably be a good place to start. Pick lessons that go over what your last class was, which I'm assuming is algebra and trigonometry based on your next class being Calc I.
The tankies told me if China/Russia cozied with a country near the US borders we would invade that country! And that is why it is morally acceptable for Russia to invade Ukraine!
I guess the US is forced to invade Cuba now, we must by tanky logic! ;p
Similar laws have been struck down by the Supreme Court in the past under the argument that if no children are being harmed (ie, these aren't pictures of actual children), then there is no basis for the government to restrict creation and possession of the images.
Agreed. One of the biggest value-adds for forums is the back and forths that bring in more ideas and information than just what was in the posted link.
it is looking like North America is going to ignore the standard the rest of the world is using
That was always going to happen. The rest of the world uses CCS2 (the connector). The competition in the US was between CCS1 and NACS connectors. Luckily, both CCS1 and NACS speak CCS (the communictions protocol), so it makes adapters pretty straightforward. However, older Tesla Supercharger locations don't yet speak CCS (the protocol). As those get updated, Tesla's network will become more and more available to others.
Or are there expected to be serious limitations?
Currently, only a few companies have committed to playing well with the Supercharger network. The rest will get the wrinkles ironed out over time as well. Furthermore, many non-Tesla charging companies are still deploying CCS1 (the connector), so they will take some time to finally switch to NACS as well. In-progress contracts can be a bitch to change.
After a few years, this should all be sorted and the US will be on a singular standard. Research your specific car in the interim as things aren't fully sorted yet.

If he uses any, the entire west needs to get involved directly. People cannot just throw nukes around because they are failing to win a war of conquest.
And what the entire west is going to do about it? Express deep concerns?
What is the west going to do about a foreign power blowing up people with nukes? Exactly what we said we would do: direct and overwhelming conventional force against the country nuking others.
One cannot allow any country to gain an advantage by detonating nukes, if that is allowed, more nukes will be used in the future. Using a nuke in any capacity has to be so detrimental that actually using one is never worth it.
If the exchange is currently limited to tactical nukes against military targets, there is still an escalation path to MAD, and that is best to be avoided.
With those ideas in mind, the West does have a response available that doesn't bring us to MAD, but does make another using a tactical nuke in any capacity an awful idea: overwhelming conventional force.
If Russia gains a local tactical advantage by nuking 5,000 Ukrainian troops, then a response that involves the entire Russian Black Sea fleet exploding, logistical depots all over the front exploding, troops all over the front exploding, and the Kerch Bridge exploding has made what was a tactical victory for Russia into a massive strategic defeat for Russia. Using this method, we have not escalated to MAD, and have made it a very, very poor idea to use nukes for any purpose.
Does that mean the NATO plan explicitly says it should be conventional?
I am not aware of an explicit plan that says only a conventional response is authorized. However, notable US commanders have said a direct and overwhelming conventional response from the West is what will likely occur if Russia uses tactical nukes against Ukrainian troops.
Russians use them mostly as tactical utility vehicles for moving personel around.
Tanks aren't made to transport people and they are abysmally bad at it. They use a ton of fuel and don't hold anybody but the crew. A passenger could sit on top, but if you are going the 100% unprotected route, there are piles of vehicles out there that are less maintenance and fuel intensive for troop transport. If that is honestly how Russia is using their T-55s, I encourage them to continue.
Much of the territory Russia occupied in Feb 2022 has been liberated by Ukraine, including major cities like Kherson and Kharkiv. Check out the map. Those large blue swaths in the North, East, and South are all places Russia used to occupy and no longer do.
Wouldn't be that hard to lie and say you live in CA or the EU. They don't have a good way to verify otherwise as you accessing the site from elsewhere doesn't mean you don't live in CA or the EU.
Would people prefer a thumbnail with a link in the description as the current post has, or for a direct link to the video which does not have a thumbnail like this other post? The thumbnail is nice, but I'm worried about lack of engagement with the content as some people may not realize there is a video or not bother as it is an extra click.
