If the meat isn't cooked to an internal temperature of 170°F / 76°C, there's a risk that it still contains live parasites.

One is a thick liquid while the other is a pressurized gas. The tanks, pumps, lines, valves will all be different.

Not very big in the scheme of things.

But without a push to disrupt the historical path-dependency and network effects, change will be very slow.

I presume "the infrastructure already exists" is part of it?

Probably pretty hard to displace an existing heating-oil market with propane in a rural area, where the consumer benefits are relatively low and the switching costs would be substantial for BOTH producers and consumers.

The story (www.nytimes.com/2025/12/07/u...) also lets people believe a million immigrants is a lot. It's not. In 2023 there were 32 million immigrants here who arrived in the last 26 years -- well over a million a year. A healthy level of immigration is probably higher than that.

Wow, that's a great stat. I'm wondering what it'd take to get that 7 even higher.

Probably a lot more US citizens getting themselves arrested by ICE, and jamming them up with more people who have to be released. Would be extremely dangerous for people involved I think.

Yes, it is definitely the most similar anti-immigrant wave of terror and deportation that I am aware of, in US history.

Agreed, it was horrible, but it didn't feature much (any?) detention of immigrants who were already in the USA.

Chinese immigrants were exploited and discriminated against, but (as far as I know) they weren't having their kids ripped out of their arms or being shipped off to gulags.

There was quite a lot of interspecies and same-sex kissing.

Okay, when has the US been worse for immigrants than it has been in the last 25 years?
