Mate, no. I understand the practical existence of race (well… to the extent a nonracialized person can) what I’m talking about is the expert consensus that: the matter of where the boundaries between races get drawn is determined by social factors, not biological.

The question of whether an ethnicity was (and is) ‘white’ or not was a political question, not a biological one.

You say I’m in denial of biological reality but you refuse to give examples of how I am deluded. You are not arguing in good faith.

No I honestly don’t. I also think you may not be as racist as you sound, I think you just don’t understand the difference between race and ethnicity. How many ‘black African’ races do you think there are? Answering this question would help me figure out your understanding of ethnicity vs race.

Can you give some examples of the biological reality you think I’m denying? The Wikipedia article you cited did not support your position that race is biologically significant to health.

You didn’t deny that ‘yellow’ is a race. (Again, I don’t believe in races, you seem to) Can you tell me some biological realities that apply to ‘yellow’ people?

I’m of the opinion that there aren’t any biological races and that race is a social construct.

Is it your opinion that ‘African type black people’ are a single race?

If there are “a fucking lot” of races, are you sure you mean races, and not ethnicities?

I think race means like, “well there are several races of people: white people, black people, yellow people, brown people and red people” …

From your link:

In the study of race and health, scientists organize people in racial categories depending on different factors such as: phenotype, ancestry, social identity, genetic makeup and lived experience.

Overall, racial health disparities appear to be rooted in social disadvantages associated with race such as implicit stereotyping and average differences in socioeconomic status.

Cool cool I’m now totally convinced race is meaningful. How many races would you say there are? I probably agree.

I’m with you approximately %100.

One thing I’ve done when arguing with a person that insists race is real and meaningful is to ask the other person how many races they think there are.

It gets the gears turning a bit.

European, African, East Asian, Arabic, South Asian, Indigenous Australian, Indigenous New Zealander/Pacific Islanders (same or different?), North American Indigenous, South American Indigenous? are Mexico’s Indigenous people the same race as Amazonians? Peru? Are they the same race as the Inuit of the arctic?

etc etc

Avoiding cultural appropriation is a easy as treating people and cultures with respect.

If you don’t have trouble doing that then great. It’s not something most people need to worry about.

Can a business transact with an animal?

If a crow puts a toonie in a vending machine, and manages to buy chips does it legally own the chips? Or can an agent of the business that runs the vending machine confiscate them and keep the money?

Your explanation makes sense to me, an uninvolved spectator with no particular knowledge of generators.

Maybe you direct the generator exhaust over the exterior of the tank? Would that be adequate heat?

My thought was to recall that my 20# propane tank has some sort of safety valve integrated into it that will clamp outflow if there is too big a surge in flow. Flow needs to be 0 for a minute or so for it to reset. But that doesn’t explain your experience with the larger tank.

Okay, I think $80 Canadian for a case, psu, mobo, cpu, & ram is sounding pretty reasonable. I just don’t know of its enough processing power for the video stuff. But I guess if not I can upgrade the mobo/cpu or add a graphics card.

Thanks, that channel looks great.

Re offsite backup: Yes I don’t have so many family photos that it will be difficult/ expensive to store online. But I need to get them together first.

I don’t have a computer with a bluray drive, only laptops.

Wow I misread the battery capacity on the unihertz tank and was like when was 2000mAh last a big battery? It’s 20 000 mAh. Also there’s a Tank2 with only 15 500 mAh.

Tomatos potatos and corn

Charcoal???

Yeah, I comment more and longer. Because I’m more confident it will be seen.

That’s an interesting point about radio emissions leaving the heated space.

I don’t see what could possibly go wrong

I have had issues with the wifi on mine. Frequently losing connection and having to restart the network adapter or reboot entirely.

Adjusting the wifi to avoid 802.11ax seems to have resolved the issue.
