There's an advantage to a "reactive body" and a "contemplative body" to have short term advocating for your direct constituents and a mediating push for better longer term results, but not the way we do it.

Giving votes to land is foolish.
Keep the two houses, but apportion senators by population as well.

Oh, I was incredulous because I've never even heard something like that online, where people will share some truly out there opinions.

We seem to otherwise agree on stuff.

Your last paragraph kinda highlights my bonus reason for disliking mras. They've made it nearly impossible to think of a space where you can discuss mens issues that isn't at a baseline antifeminism.
Patriarchy hurts men as well as women. Addressing how it hurts men has the opportunity to help prevent future harm, like by helping people figure out a definition of manhood that isn't everything wrong with modern masculinity, which can be hard if you have next to no examples to show you it's even possible.
It's not feminists as allies, it's feminists talking about a different part of the conversation.
Mras are so toxic that it's become legitimately difficult to convey "I'm concerned with how society messes up men" without people thinking you're about to segue into some misogynistic awfulness.

All that to say, blaming feminists for circumcision is a type of delusion so far out there that I have trouble even conceiving how you would do that.

Disagreeing as well as asking for sources because I've truly never encountered anything about people being anti-circumcision that's felt anything beyond "that's a messed up thing to do to a baby".

Totally on board with the things you've said against mras, with the added note that they also make it harder for people to actually discuss real issues that do effect men in a way that isn't immediately assumed to be an angry wounded machismo thing. Patriarchy hurts men too, and men have some social issues that it can be helpful for them to seek support on, and the work of shitty mra groups framing that as so closely associated with antifeminism or misogyny actively hurts men by creating an association that caring about or having male specific issues makes someone a misogynistic ass by default.

Reasonable people are feminists, and don't get hung up on the origin of the word.

I purely mean I have literally never heard anyone blame feminism or any feminist group for circumcision. I think the closest I've heard is people arguing against individuals who're saying female circumcision is worse, and therefore we shouldn't dilute the conversation by bringing male circumcision up.

rest of the world considers US meat unfit for human consumption

That's... Not even remotely true. The US is one of the largest food and meat exporters in the world. There's a few notable cases of differing regulations resulting in trade issues but for the most part those are about local industry trade protection. Like, the US doesn't forbid washing poultry in the processing plant with a dilute bleach solution, and the EU says you can't do that. Ignoring that the US primarily uses other things, that the same substance is mandated for use by the EU for certain classes of seafood and vegetable, and that nearly every food service establishment on the planet uses it to clean nearly everything, where it's mandated for use by the EU, and documented as entirely harmless by their advisory health officials.
But it does result in the EU buying poultry for moderately higher prices from member nations.

Fast food is better outside the US because the chains are less established as options, so they need to try harder.

What? I don't see that at all. Acknowledging a hypocrisy regarding genital mutilation attitudes doesn't diminish a recognition of the myriad inequities faced by women.

Nope. Most of those are just people projecting modern knowledge and beliefs onto people from thousands of years ago.

The origin of the pork taboo for example. We connect it to our current knowledge of trichinosis, but we know the actual reason from antiquity.
It has to do with ancient Judaism and a political dispute they had both internally and with the Babylonians. Essentially, the surviving faction of the conflict hated Babylon, and Babylon ate a lot of pork because pigs are easier to maintain in a more urbanized setting. So they had developed the belief that "fuck that, people who eat like those fuckers are also fuckers". They also decided to use the Babylonians gods as bad guy gods, and give them names like, roughly, the stinky poop god. Aka, baelzebub.

It's always risky to project modern beliefs and knowledge onto people from so long ago.

They don't need to read you your rights for a field sobriety test. I believe every state has laws that make consent a condition of the drivers license and establish that the tests aren't self incrimination.

They should have read you your rights but if they didn't question you after arrest it's probably academic, since failure to do so would mean the answers you didn't give to the questions they didn't ask were inadmissible.

A dwi doesn't require alcohol. They could just say you were on "something". It's a catchall for not being in a fit state to drive.

Anything anyone says here is pointless. You need to talk to a lawyer.

It requires sunlight to charge, not to produce electricity. Because liquid salt doesn't cool the moment it goes dark the plant can continue to use it to boil water to spin a turbine for a fair bit of time without sunlight. I believe one implementation only produces power at night, and spends the day collecting heat.
But yes, solar power does require sunlight at some point.

It's kinda moot however, because having now read the original post I was correct to assume they (the doe) was being disingenuous. The heat they seemed to be referring to was "the weather". As in "despite the high temperature, the sun still went down causing solar generation to ebb in a predictable fashion that grid operators were unsurprised by. This is why it's good we forced them to keep 150 year old coal plants burning".

For some of them it actually is, not all are photoelectric.

They have trade offs, like every power solution. One perk is that they generally cleaner to produce, since shiny metal is simpler than modern complex solar panels.

That being said, I have little faith in any report issued under the current administration.

I'm not even sure that's close to true anymore. Like, the biggest companies in the world, when they need to use a relational database, typically go for something "not oracle".

Wikipedia gets more traffic than most enterprises and they use mariadb. They don't even really do it in the weird ways that AWS does, where they use it as a bizarre caching layer.

It's kinda like how for the longest time "mainframes" were the go-to computer for enterprise applications with extreme IO needs. You probably wouldn't recommend someone go talk to IBM if they need to process a lot of records in this day and age unless they were already neck deep in cobol, the go-to language for enterprise applications.

Because it's part of how you get realistic light scattering in the photo modes and visuals that people like?
You can't have realistic graphics without doing the things that make something look realistic.

It's the same reason they spend time figuring out how light moves through cheek skin: if the light doesn't do that you look like a plastic sculpture and it's wrong.
