@RustyBertrand I think we've learned from the Titan submersible that it's easier and more cost effective to implode them in the ocean depths than to fire them into the sun. (I do regret polluting the marine ecosystem, but even the remains of every billionaire on earth and their own personal submarines wouldn't be as much toxic waste as they're already responsible for generating.) @RustyBertrand I think we've learned from the Titan submersible that it's easier and more cost effective to implode them in the ocean depths than to fire them into the sun. (I do regret polluting the marine ecosystem, but even the remains of every billionaire on earth and their own personal submarines wouldn't be as much toxic waste as they're already responsible for generating.) My cool neighbor has outdone herself on coolness. Look what she made and left in my rock garden. The creativity! The details! They each have a backstory, too. For example, the one with the elaborate goldenrod hat is a bard. Two of them are hunter-gatherers.  Context: the day before, we were chatting in front of my rock garden. She said the mounds of plants always remind her of hobbit homes, and she could imagine little characters made out of acorns.  Ze is leaning into more aggressive rhetoric (eg, "shrink Russia," "take the war to Russian soil") precisely as Ukraine's battlefield positions deteriorate across all fronts. It sometimes feels like his meme war awesomeness has an inverse relationship to Kyiv's survival odds.

You can also use "before: 2020" in many search engines to improve results in general. AI slop is annoying at the best of times, but you *really* don't want to accidentally consume it when it comes to things that may impact your health.

This wins the Halloween Olympics.

  @thomasbeagle All it needs is a classy bumpersticker saying "Slaver. Out and Proud." Nobody but slavers even thinks of owning people. Photograph of the same place in the Artic 100 years apart. And new picture is already from 2003.

  @djlink and? It's not quite the rain-forest rich ecosphere, isn't it? Nonetheless we should ASAP DNS-sequence ever living plant ane being because climate change is a reality. Basic income could put food banks out of business Well yes, obviously... A friend shared this thought with me, and, to be honest, I find it a little depressing.

 @gdinwiddie This is such a modern and white and western way of thinking though. Most space exploration on earth has been done by governments and has been trained specialists instead of billionaires. And it's clearly best done as a collective endeavor, not by billionaires. I wouldn't expect our society's recent dysfunctions to be so universal I'd expect them from aliens!  This seems like kind of a big story. Canadian PM Trudeau said under oath that Russia is funding Tucker Carlson & Jordan Peterson āWeāve recently seen that RT is funding bloggersā¦such as Jordan Petersonā¦Tucker Carlsonā¦to amplify messages that are destabilizing democraciesā

 I was in a medical office yesterday and the medtech asked, "oh why the mask?" and I said "Covid" and she said, "oh, overprotective". I didn't say much after that because I figured she was simply an idiot. @igimenezblb  @igimenezblb in Scotland, Covid vaccines are no longer provided to people that are not "at risk" (isn't everyone "at risk"??), you cannot get free tests anywhere (not even from the university I work at) and nobody wears a mask anymore. I'm really not seeing the logic there... š¬ even if youāre ardently pro-nuclear, SMRs are just a failure purely on the economics and always have been. And thatās before wind/solar/battery made them just obsolete. So SMRs are the perfect tech when you want an excuse not to do anything useful. @davidgerard Yep. Headline grabbers that will never go anywhere to distract from the fact that they're missing their sustainability targets chasing the AI bubble for no return whatsoever.  @davidgerard Huh. I knew the economics weren't great for SMRs but I didn't realize *how* not great, not even counting all the other reasons that make them really not worth bothering with. Kind of a pity, but I haven't found reality really paying much attention to what I wanted no matter *how* hard I wished for something. @davidgerard SMRs and "portable" nuclear reactors are NOT the way forward. Absolutely not. - ardent nuclear energy enthusiast No this isnāt because of immigrationā¦.this is because our Federal Gov (both major parties) is incapable of managing our economy properly by fixing up tax loopholes. #negativegearing #housing #auspol |
