We have both sugar free and full sugar. I want to say the sugar free is more popular but I don't pay that much attention.

I think it's important to point out as well that there is a mesiarble difference between between the permittivity of free space and air. But to your point the difference is quite small: e_r air is 1.0006 whereas e_r freespace is 1.

While temperature and pressure do have an effect on e_r air I don't know enough to say that net movement of the particles in one direction would have a measurable effect. ~~My instinct is no.~~

Looks like lukewarm_ozone proved me wrong. https://lemmy.today/comment/13053868

A quick Google search shows birdshot has an effective rang on the order of 40 - 50 yards. Now, you still have to be competant with a shotgun, but the public perception of shotguns is generally skewed. They have a much tighter spread and longer range than movies and games would have one believe.

Ignoring that genocide is beyond the scope of this meme, both parties are complicit in providing aid to Isreal, who is the party actively committing genocide against Palestinians. It's important to recognize the difference between not giving a shit and recognizing something can't immediately be done about a situation. Gaza is not on the ballot in the United States and won't be until more left leaning individuals take power in congress. This process starts at the local level, and years before an election is held.

But its good to know that the genocide of my people is less important than the genocide of others. The perspective that two genocides is just as bad as one is absurd. Again, being able to believe that the party of liberals and the party of white nationalists are both fascist parties indicates a level of privilege or insulation from living under a fascist regime.

One of these parties actively campaigns and passes legislation to block my access to health care and wants to make my existence in public illegal. Their supporters regularly say people like me need to be beat or murdered. I have had this happen in person, to my face, by a family member.

The other party actively tries to block the harmful legislation and passes protections for me. Their supporters are at worse indifferent to my existence but are often supportive of my navigation through my struggles.

To be able to ignore these differences and put words in other other minority's mouths shows an extreme level of privilege.

Are there any better alternatives? Ace hardware doesn't participate in the Coporate Equality Index either, and TrueValue only has a score of 50 while Home Depot is 45.
