It’s called Piranha Solution. EXTREMELY dangerous.
In my field of work (semiconductors) it’s used to clean silicon wafers (remove photo resist).
Yeah, any organic material would rapidly decompose (hence the name, looks like Piranhas feeding).

In all fairness, the DDR was communist. But both are authoritarian and totalitarian regimes, which use similar methods to suppress the population

213 million people live within this 100 mile border area. That’s 2/3 of the population of the USA.

Within 100 air miles of the border CBP has expanded authority to enforce immigration laws. Agents can conduct stops and searches, board vehicles, and question people about their immigration status without a warrant or individualized suspicion.

In the 100-mile border region, that’s not entirely true. Though a warrant would still be needed for most searches.

Then there’s the 100-mile border rule.

I am more concerned about those people that would say it was her own fault if she wouldn’t have been a virgin.

Why the reference to “she was a virgin”? Why does it matter if she was or wasn’t. She was 13!!

It’s like JD Vance railing against stifling of right-wing speech in Europe (not true), just to go off to stifle left-wing speech at every possible way.

In the US yes. In Europe there’s the European Convention on Human Rights. Article 10 of the ECHR states “Everyone has the right to freedom of expression”. However there are restrictions, for example denial or revision of ‘clearly established historical facts’ (eg holocaust denial) is not allowed

That’s inherent in hot-air systems. We have a gas burning furnace and it does the same. It’s the cold air in the ducts that needs to be pushed out before the hot air.
