So much for the first amendment.

Not surprised at all, but very disappointed. I can't believe we voted conservatives in yet again.

The concept of Watt-hours was messing me up. I think I get it now.

  • Energy is the potential to do some work, measured in Joules.
  • Power is the rate at which work is done and is measured in Joules per seconds, i.e., Watts.
  • If you want to know how much energy something "uses", multiply it's power by how long it has been running.
    • e.g., something with a power of 100 J/s (i.e., 100 Watts) running for 10 s will use 1,000 Joules of energy.
  • For household use, Joules is not a very convenient unit, so we use Watt-hours (W•h) or kW•h, which is the number of Watts an appliance uses times the number of hours it runs. Watt-hours and Joules are both units of energy.
    • Watt-hours is not Watts-per-hour, i.e., it is not a rate. It means Watts-times-hours. If we break it down, we can convert back to Joules: W•h = (3600s•J) / s = 3600J.

I hope I summarized it properly and didn't make any math mistakes!

He's a Canadian citizen 🙄

No need. That's what articles 4 and 5 are for.

Scott Moe is a piece of shit. He was wanted to sell out Canada by keeping Saskatchewan exports (oil and potash) tariff free while the rest of Canada takes the brunt instead. Now he's butthurt that the US is going elsewhere for potash.

Trump's actions may be disturbing, but you don't need to hear about it from someone like Moe, who wouldn't even give a damn if it didn't affect his bottom line.

I'm starting to think that this guy might not understand how economies work.

Definitely this. Lemmy isn't that big, so it pays to browse all. Just block any topic you don't like. I had to block a lot of furry and meme communities because they don't interest me.

BOY o BOY! It sure sounds like President Trump is in trouble this time!

How is left against accessibility? You say "traditionally", as well.

I'm Canadian and these terms are not jiving with me.

Is she a piece of shit, too, or just unfortunate genetics?

Someone failed to get their upvote, but otherwise pretty smooth 🙂.
