I use Arch, btw

it’s just a drill, bro 😂

You mean electron based apps? Yea I hate those. Discord, Slack are the worst. MS teams is cancer.

l personally don’t mind apps you can load through your favorite browser. Instant cross platform compatibility. I think there are some arbitrary connection limitations that make bandwidth or latency intensive apps less than ideal though.

I just sell my shower water.

That makes sense now. Thanks for extra context.

Whoever committed this change thinks updating the text on the UI for this system will automagically fix issue.

It’s like editing the HTML on your bank’s website to show you have $1B in the bank 😂

Issue here committer forgot to update UI to expose the feature person was working on

Israel government taking a page out of the Nazi playbook during the Holocaust

Answer “yes” and a trap door is activated and you are sent directly to Guantanamo Bay for further processing by “Big Bob” and his cock meat sandwich.

Reminds me of the comments and general view towards all Muslims in USA post-9/11 (Sept 11, 2001).

The Daily Caller is a right-wing news and opinion website based in Washington, D.C.[7] It was founded by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and political pundit Neil Patel in 2010.

OP blundered. Article shitty, definitely cherry picking here.

The source is at least cited as this piece of research by some assistant professor at “Southern University of Oregon” — https://sou.edu/academics/economics/faculty/

Above is only an abstract. Looking to see if I can get the full paper with data. Something is definitely off.

This research design has some crucial limitations. First, almost every major city in the United States had a protest during the Mike Brown era, implying that I am comparing large cities to relatively less populous cities. Second, the reasons for participating in BLM protests may be related to future police behavior. For example, protests are more likely to occur in cities where more Black people have previously been killed by the police (Williamson et al., 2018). Therefore, if BLM protests are precipitated by a police shooting, police misconduct, or strained community-police relations, then the course for future police behavior may have changed regardless of the protests.

Author of paper even acknowledges the weaknesses in his methodology and seems to think those weaknesses are addressed by his “battery of robustness tests” performed on the data.

My initial thoughts: if police are not doing their job because of “BLM protests”. Then isn’t that on the police? Because police can’t kill people without impunity, that means they can’t do their job?

I can see flooded EVs susceptible to electric shorting. But I haven’t read or seen any reports of combustion simply due to exposure from salt water. Maybe those vehicles were pierced by some object during hurricane?

Do you have a source?

Also modern ICE vehicles not immune to electrical shortages due to heavy water exposure. Most if not all have ECUs and other electronic equipment that is sensitive to water exposure.

EVs don’t combust spontaneously. If the battery of an EV is compromised or battery pack is pierced and lithium is exposed to air. Then that violent reaction (lithium oxidizing the air) will produce the fire you see.

I think this is from a training exercise though. Suspiciously empty lot. Some branding on vehicle might indicate test site. The idea here is that by covering the vehicle with the fire resistant blanket, the fire will consume all of the oxygen and eventually put it self out.

Lockdowns provided short term relief for reducing GHG but later bounced back to pre-COVID levels [1]

Long term we need to improve the efficiency at the source (power generation) and get rid of O&G dependency. In addition, transform cities to become less car dependent (the microplastics from ICE/EV based cars tire wear is not good) Also Western diets have to change (reduced meat consumption).

I do like the idea of keeping WFH as an option though. The mandatory RTO sentiment of C-level executives is annoying to say the least and data is not backing up their reasoning. Keep an office for the people that prefer it and reduce the office footprint. Gather data over time and let teams and team leaders decide.

long term survival of the species

Bro that went out the window when people were fighting over 🧻 and causing local supply issues at grocery stores.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a majority of those casualties in the USA will be in Florida and California.

Many of the major insurance companies stopped issuing new home owners policies in those states because it was no longer profitable or very risky. IIRC, increasing housing costs and frequency of these events was the main reason they pulled out

Terrible. These events are increasing in frequency and lasting longer due to man made climate change. Immigration is likely to skyrocket over the next decade.

Yet leaders of the world are slow rolling doing anything about it. O&G has collectively earned trillions of dollars in profits while fucking up the environment.

We need radical environmental change now. But unfortunately it appears people won’t change their collective habits (ie, heavy reliance on cars in the 🇺🇸, continued development of suburban sprawl, …)

Dumb and poor people popping out babies like it’s the 1950s. Roe v Wade overturned in the states does not help.

We are fucked. These G20 meetings seem kind of useless lately.

Also I wonder how many of these “environmental ministers” used private jets to get to the conference. Tone deaf assholes.

Smith program was so edgy in the early 2000s 😂

Reading climate change articles always reminds me of this monologue from the antagonist in Westworld:

I think humanity is a thin layer of bacteria on a ball of mud hurtling through the void. I think if there was a God, he would’ve given up on us long ago. He gave us a paradise and we used everything up. We dug up every ounce of energy and burned it. We consume and excrete, use and destroy. Then we sit here on a neat little pile of ashes, having squeezed anything of value out of this planet, and we ask ourselves, “Why are we here?” You want to know what I think your purpose is? It’s obvious. You’re here along with the rest of us to speed the entropic death of this planet. To service the chaos. We’re maggots eating a corpse
