What makes you think the “loud minority” wasn’t the people who voted for Trump in the first place?

Interesting… if that’s true, then you can know what temperature each setting on the knob is.

I wonder if this is true for all electric ranges?

Is this true?? I always assumed that electric ranges simply had a variable duty cycle controlled by the knob. That would mean that if you want to get a pot up to a specific temperature, the fastest way is to set the knob to high until you reach the temperature, then reduce the knob to the desired temperature.

This is different from how an HVAC works, where you set an actual temperature and the HVAC runs until that temperature is reached.

But I could be totally wrong about how electric ranges work.

Parker, specifically the Jotter. I still have and use a stainless steel one that I bought in 1999 because I kept losing pens, and I thought that if I spent a little more on one I might take better care of it. It’s my favorite by far.

Gotcha… as you can see, it probably depends on who you ask!

“Echo chamber” definitely has a negative connotation, which is why I don’t think the specific-purpose group is acting as an echo chamber at least not insofar as they are keeping the group on-topic.

I’m assuming this is meant to be an example of a real-world scenario, and I suspect it would be helpful to hear the actual scenario so that we can comment on the nuances of the specifics rather than wondering if the nuances of the example are relevant or not.

But, to take your example at face value: no, I don’t believe the expelled rose-lover is correct about the tulip lover’s club being an echo chamber. The tulip lover’s club is about tulips… it’s in the name, and that’s why it’s members gather there. The rose-lover is coming in talking off-topic to the point that the members of the tulip lover’s club have found it distracting. It’s nothing to do with an echo chamber. I would probably expel someone from my chess club if they showed up and constantly tried to get everyone to play monopoly instead.

I agree… I don’t see any reason to be concerned with Purdy. Bad throws happen to great QBs. Overall I think there’s a lot to be excited about for the future. As for right now, let’s see if we can get the win next week against AZ!

Looking good after the first half! Here’s hoping we can hold it down. After this season, I am 100% on board with a big moral victory over the conference favorite.

Better than Collinsworth!

This ought to be an interesting one! I’m interested to see how the defense adjusts to no Bosa.

You’re not wrong. I’m curious what could have been done differently on that one though… his teammate got pushed into him when it was too late to get out of the way. Tough situation.

Happy game day! We’re off to a good start… Let’s goooooooo!

I’m having a hard time imagining an accident caused by not wearing a seatbelt… I guess maybe being thrown from the vehicle and hitting a passenger in another car who was wearing a seatbelt?

Here’s hoping you can enjoy more next game! Life is too short to spend 3 hours watching something that you don’t enjoy!

The most important thing… did you have fun watching the game?

The broadcast clearly showed (and talked about) the DB’s tripping over each other on that second TD. The first looked like a blown coverage… in other words an execution problem. Neither seemed like a decision making problem.

Gotta agree with Shanny… Clean up the holding penalties and this was a very different half. Here’s hoping we come out swinging!

I don’t know how hot this is, but I expect a good game based solely on the history of these two teams.

Dallas has been a bit of mess this year, but so have we.

Let’s go Niners!

He’s been stellar this year, with yesterday’s game being the exception. I don’t know how you can look at his play overall and think he’s mediocre.

Yeah, I don’t buy this take. The Niners have been consistently competitive since Shanahan started. Any one play call isn’t indicative of his ability as an offensive tactician.
