Hmmm. I want some weird neolib romcom based off this picture. “This Summer. Pushed away from Brussels for doing their job, these two type A’s might just be tumbling into each others arms. They say climate change is going to make the Mediterranean hot, but they didn’t account for these two!”
Dude I don’t think even the democrats would float this sort of plan. It’s one of those weird moments between planning the three stooges reich where he just glomms onto some idea that is actually super progressive without knowing it. Ultimately trump is apolitical personally I think—he acts based on narcissistic self interest, which is why it’s possible for weird shit like this to happen. He also just takes notes from whatever whackos are around that day, so you can be sure that any actual good or progressive ideas will get removed from the platform by one of the far right grifters he has in perpetual orbit, but still amusing to see.
The democrats would say they wanted to do this, then complain they’re not allowed to, and then produce a plan that provides green cards to foreign grads if they agree to live in an underserved neighborhood for 5 years, have a specific blood type, and complete a post-secondary degree within 5 years with the intention of working in green energy development after. Like some caveated-to-hell means tested crap that lets them say they tried, while effectively making it near-impossible.
That’s uhhh, a very specific and weird number. Since it’s likely totally fake/ballparked anyway, why not just round it up?
My experience mirrors yours. Back in the day I used to have to do clean installs all the time, but I haven’t for years now, and I’ve swapped lots of hardware and disks, etc. it’s fairly problem free for the most part, except for the creeping sense of doom I feel with each new piece of adware they cram into the user interface. I am definitely planning on switching to Linux, I have an Ubuntu server and have installed a flash drive version of arch on my laptop before, but I just haven’t hit a wall yet that makes all the work of completely switching necessary yet.

“We are not bats” lol. But yeah this is so true it hurts.
I don’t know about the particulars of this one, but these electrification mandates usually have exemptions for critical facilities and backup systems. It seems to be more about never using nat gas powered appliances like say a water heater. This also keeps in line with the new DC energy codes that are becoming mandatory in two years, and those have exemptions for diesel generators and such.
My version of ADHD cleaning was purchasing roombas to cover for my lack of cleaning virtue. Of course they need help all the time, and get stuck if you don’t pre-clear stuff (have a dog who likes to entropically distribute her bones and toys) so the joke is on me, I guess.
Oh and I guess, potentially, the post about Micheal j fox could also be about prions, since it’s suggesting his Parkinson’s is the result of accidental ingestion of human remains (probably brain matter, like the how the kuru disease was spread). So maybe we’re up to 3 posts for prions!
Haha I just saw that—excellent. Prions definitely belong to the creepy/weird category of potential threats.
I can’t find the specific article, but it was basically arguing that prions are an unavoidable existential crisis that will eventually kill everything on the planet. The basis was the fact that they are virtually indestructible, can lie latent in our environment indefinitely and basically just always make more of themselves.
Mind you, the time frame for this particular apocalypse would be pretty big. It was still an eerie thought though, just like this inexorable accumulation of alien/bizarro world proteins that would eventually kill/convert everything. I guess it’s kinda like the grey goo planet theory.
Anyway, we’ll almost certainly kill ourselves via climate change or massive war first, so no need to worry too much about prions.
My thought is Its a strategic choice to enhance visibility/awareness. The people you’re protesting rarely care, but it creates a higher stakes scenario that makes people pay attention and makes it more likely for your cause to get engagement.
To some degree, it also serves to legitimize your commitment and make the opposition look weak—I’m willing to die for this cause, and they won’t budge or make sacrifices, etc.
When prisoners do it, in certain circumstances, it has more leverage, because the captor might not want them to die in their care, as this would make them a martyr or cause them uncomfortable political blowback or scrutiny.

I feel like originally it was a semi-safe taboo to break that made a standard porn setup seem more forbidden/risqué. It always seemed weird, like how many people have step siblings that also fantasize about them sexually, how big could this be? But it just kept on coming, so to speak.
Now I think it’s just a meme/SEO thing, where you have to include it even if the video is not even pretending to be about that. Also it happened around the same time that websites were pushing/pivoting into more content creator type things, and so it’s probably related to that as well. Like the annoying face+exaggerated reaction thing on YouTube…
Either way, always seemed whacky that everything the sites serve is almost completely step-porn on the front page.
Yeah that’s certainly what it seems like.
The radiation warning is near a different atoll, so hard to say if the above is related or not, but it’s kinda blowing my mind how limited reporting is on the subject. It feels like it’s being suppressed in English language media.
An article from 2019, highlighting the risks of this thing becoming a problem: https://www.latimes.com/projects/marshall-islands-nuclear-testing-sea-level-rise/
This is a garbage website/source, but adds some more context:
Apparently a big concrete dome where loads of radioactive shit from old tests has cracked due to weather/climate related wear and tear.
There is a cooling strategy like this called “chilled beam” but has all the issues listed below by other posters; condensation management and power usage.
Go all in on milking generational divide and do like a Taylor Swift / Kendrick Lamar ticket. I definitely think either of them could do a better job at being president than our current batch of options.
