In Palo Alto, to get around the leaf blower ban, they would put a Honda generator on a furniture dolly to power a corded electric leaf blower.
Also, in rural NorCal, generators are essential when PG&E turns off the power (PSPSes) for up to weeks at a time. Powerwalls are unlikely to replace these. Also, rural construction projects rely on generators.
Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do. Piles of bullshit should be spread in the garden, not heap more crap onto kids' educations. The next step will be mandatory feminism apology essays for toxic masculinity.
But-but-but edumacation and delusional, arbitrary experiments on children solve everything! How else will they learn they're "bad people" because they don't have enough oppressed identity bingo victim points?
If the diversity, tolerance-of-everything, and perfectly safe spaces crowd really wanted kids to be more tolerant, they would use the proven eye color discrimination activity. That works. But no, they want to teach hate, entitlement, blame, and shame through pseudoscience to demonize mostly white and Asian, straight men. Racism exists against Asians and Asian-Americans, but there's "no such thing" as racism against white people or sexism against men... it's dismissed automatically as "whining" or "disproven 'reverse discrimination' claims from bitter losers and racist white supremacist."
I was bused 180 minutes per day to a terrible elementary school because of mandatory desegregation. Their motto was "Everything is made equal by punishing those with anything going for them."
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
I wonder if anyone else ever had to have a 90 minute bus ride to school each way (3 hours per day) because there were "too many white and Asian kids" at a school a block from their house.
Hold back the smart kids because not doing so would be "segregation" and make the others feel bad about themselves. Self-esteem and diversity equality for all. Forget merit, self-confidence, and IEPs because that's racist, sexist, and ableist.
What I dislike about shopping is self checkout. It feels like scabbing and stealing jobs from workers while making customers do their work for free. It seems like customers will eventually have to stock the shelves should it become any more "self-service."
In general, Americans don't know how bad they have it. They work like indentured servants in a third-world country for below living wages and don't have lives.
X Is Better than Being Y? X:Y - Apples:oranges, Creativity:rational, etc.
"Smart" is a point-in-time inference by a perceiver as an impression of a performant interaction. The reality is messy: multidimensional, inconsistent, and relative.
"Curiosity" alone has no value without intelligence to navigate ambiguities, reconcile new data, and propose new inductions and deductions.
