Just for the sake of clarity, there is a difference between jumping above 2C during a year and the long-term average being above 2C, which is what we’re usually talking about when it comes to global warming. This headline, and the 1.5C headlines from 2023, tend to muddy the waters. Shit is bad and getting worse, but it’s not quite as bad as you might think at first glance.

I mean, I suppose so. I can imagine a theoretical AI that isn’t trained on stolen work, isn’t insanely energy intensive, isn’t controlled by the ownership class, and doesn’t hallucinate wildly. But that’s so far away from what AI is in our current context, drawing that distinction feels like losing the forest for the trees, at this point in time.

Quite a lot of people, especially here on the Fediverse. You’d be wise to care too - AI is no friend to the working class.

Oh, absolutely. As my instructor put it, if you cause an arc flash and are killed instantly, you got off lucky. Because if you survive, your body will be severely damaged for the rest of your life.

Those trainings put the fear into you for good reason. I don’t fuck with high voltage at all, shit is way too scary for me.

And that arc flash’s temperature is several times hotter than the surface of the sun. It’s hot enough to instantly vaporize any surrounding metal, meaning that if you manage to survive being near an arc flash, there’s a chance that you’ll end up with tiny metal shards in your lungs, when they cool down after you breathe them in. Arc flashes are scary stuff.

Cool! Still not gonna put all my eggs in the fascist-sympathetic basket

Has Mozilla indicated any openness to taking that approach with Firefox?

Is there a particular reason why Cyprus is such an outlier for being much more Christian?

The solutions look a lot different for the real loneliness epidemic than a “male loneliness epidemic”. You fix the first by creating more walkable cities, more third places you can be without needing to spend money, and giving people the time and money they need to go out, do things, and socialize.

The proposed solutions for the “male loneliness epidemic” seem to be a lot more like shitty men saying “women need to lower their standards and be okay with being my therapist/mom/girlfriend, while I change nothing about myself”

Fuck off, transphobe

Have you considered sending the journalist a message about this? I haven’t seen mention of it anywhere else

I do! I volunteer at a dairy goat CSA, and I’ve learned how to make my own chèvre at home

We live in the dumbest fucking timeline

I mean, of the possible sponsors out there, Ground News is pretty alright. I don’t particularly need another subscription, but it seems like a valuable enough service

We had a family or two of mice living under our kitchen a few months back. We ended up killing 13 total. It was horrible. I hate killing things, even if there’s no better way to deal with them as pests. It just broke my heart every time.

Now their hole is stuffed with steel wool and sealed with foam though, so I think we should be safe from their return.

Continued to support Democrats after they fucked him in the 2016 primary, I’m guessing?

I don’t know, I still like him

I’ll definitely do that! Thanks for the recommendations
