Glad to hear the Lights Out campaign is working. I hope more people pay attention. All Texans can appreciate living in a region so important to so many species, and taking care of Texas means taking care of an amazing chunk of nature. Turning off unneeded lights by 11pm is such an easy way to do that.
And generations. Born in a certain year? You obviously have a certain attitude. We already know how you vote, how informed or ignorant you are on various topics, and how you spend your money. Just from the year you were born! Amazing, right?!
Now investigators are trying to figure out if she was TikToker who was part of a ghost-hunting stunt or if her death was something more sinister, such as a consented sacrificial death.
Ok, so boiled first, then… does that count as pickled? Or maybe that’s a lower salt ratio than pickling so it can ferment?
I’m surprised that looks so appetizing. Coloring can change expectation of flavor (so I’m not a fan of Halloween colored food), but this is beautiful use of natural coloring with beets.
Does the Brazilian government have tight enough control over agents not to abuse this? I’m imagining how much easier it would be to identify ransom targets coming from abroad if a rogue agent was affiliated with a criminal organization.
I remember seeing a documentary or news piece or something about a woman who pivoted hers to “BISCUIT!” I really hope that was real. But I don’t remember how she got there, like if she had to trick herself that “biscuit” was offensive.
A new analysis released last week by the international non-profit InfluenceMap reveals an overwhelmingly unequal share of fossil fuel pollution worldwide. From 2016 to 2022, 80 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions were produced by just 57 companies.
Well, if any of those are oil companies, your driving an EV is cutting demand for their product*. I wonder what other products are in there. I’m not trying to place blame back on consumers. We do vote with our money, but we’re also sometimes trapped by our needs and choices in ways that only regulation might solve. I think the second part is the point of any story like this one, but the first part is something we can still try to do.
Well, cutting demand for oil as long as we keep making progress towards low-carbon energy sources.
I travelled to dallas to see the solar eclipse monday and noticed something strange that I’ve not seen anyone talk about. At the bottom right of the eclipse during totality after the diamond ring effect there was a persistant bright white dot that looked almost like it was on the surface of the moon rather than the edge. I’m...
There were definitely a couple of prominences peeking out from behind the moon and visible as bright spots that persisted throughout totality. From my spot, I just noticed one.
By 2023, the picture was completely different: only 11 percent described themselves as very or somewhat conservative, 21 percent as middle of the road, and 67 percent of listeners said they were very or somewhat liberal.
The facts, coming from all around, have continually led more people to realize the GOP is full of shit, making people sympathize more with the “liberal” party, and that’s somehow NPR’s fault?
Pretty interesting getting to see these rare but predictable things coinciding and thinking about how it might have seemed like a series of omens to people in the past.
Microsoft (MSFT.O) will sell its chat and video app Teams separately from its Office product globally, the U.S. tech giant said on Monday, six months after it unbundled the two products in Europe in a bid to avert a possible EU antitrust fine.
Yeah, I remember learning about it in a CS class and, specifically, the claim that it’s an ideal standard candle kind of image. I always wondered if we couldn’t have found a better reference shot of a smooth flower growing in front of a rough stone or something.

I want to believe it’ll be hard to find a school that won’t already have at least a small group of people who are already going to not make it an easy “nod and clap” talk.
And the thing about regulation like this is that it just resets the bar height for everyone. It’s not like this doesn’t apply to all competitors.
Unless we mean non-cable competition, i.e. streaming. Maybe that’s not under the jurisdiction of FCC? If not, though, then I have to wonder why this has to be an FCC thing in the first place. This is about truth in advertising, in general.
