But AIDS got Roy Cohn at 59.
Roll them bones!
Yeah, if you think about it, being a paid protester would be a really fun job, for gleeful jerks like me at least.
You get to travel around, hang out with like-minded folks on the bus and in new cities. You get to strategize maximum shenanigans and once in a while get on the news.
Strangely, my search for such job openings has come up completely empty. Guess you have to know some one?

The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) is a blight upon the USA supplement scene.
It’s no surprise it was sponsored by Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah. That state is the proud inventor of just about every worthless vitamin and nutritional supplement out there.
Double-secret-tariffs!
He is a slave to that POTUSsy
2·4 days agoCapacitors store energy up to their capacity, not being snarky with the tautological statement, that’s what they do. So yes they can slow or modulate electron flow. The simplest pulsing circuit you can make uses a capacitor.
My own personal projects these days include work with super-capacitors to make battery-free solar projects.
This stack exchange has a good discussion that relates here:
Some crops do very well under the extra long days in summer and basically catch up despite the short season. People already grow grain near Edmonton, which is actually really far north.
You are correct that the soils will be the most limiting, as these can take millenia to adapt to changes.
Just as an example of how productive plant growth can be at high latitudes:
Because the LAPD is not in town that weekend.
It really isn’t even that.
The closest historical equivalent of an economic professional is the Haruspex.
Congratulations! You are now a practicing economist. This is exactly how that field works.
Yep, the first two steps alone are the definition of insanity.
The following two steps, if followed in moderation, may lead to a modest career.
If followed too closely, upon review, you may correlate the contents of your own mind and, well… 🤷♂️
That is this time, right now.
Call yourself a scientist. Act like one. It is a terrible way to make money, but I will live the rest of my life on the war stories alone.
I apologize, the lay was never in there to begin with. Only pain, only pubs.
Such a capacitor is used to fine tune antenna performance, so it is an inherent part of that particular subsystem. Anyone who has disassembled an older radio has probably run across one of these rotary air gapped type before.
Inductors use a coil to store energy whereas capacitors use plates separated by a dielectric material, which is air in this case.

It’s a very lonely life having the most frenetic genetic tendencies of a terrier, a ferret and a pack rat. But the rush I get when I stumble upon obscure technological treasures? It makes it all worthwhile.
Yes, I refuse to let people say he is untouchable. He has earthly power and that can be taken away, by time or by the actions of people.
Do you think they get to touch him?
What does his unfuckability have to do with it?
And, no, Trump is not untouchable. He is not Voldemort and he has no magic powers.
Jesus fucking Christ. These people are monsters. THIS is the hill I personally will die on, I guess.
