Oil giant Chevron has agreed to pay a record-setting $13 million to two California agencies for past oil spills, but some of the company’s spills are ongoing....
At least one of Chevron’s spills is still running 21 years after it began in a Kern County oilfield, although a state spokesperson said it has been reduced by 98% “from its peak.” The amount spilled from the site, dubbed GS-5, is larger than the Exxon Valdez disaster.
It’s reduced because it’s been leaking for 21 years! It’s bound to stop flowing as aggressively as when it first started.
To go hang out with people in a cool setting while having alcohol-like drinks without the problems. Like going to a Kava bar or something, or tea bar. Bunch of places out there with themed drinks to hang out. Sometimes you like the taste of cocktails but don’t want to get drunk.
“You’re talking to me”: How do we determine from which POV we’re looking from? Seems like the POV is from whomever sends this picture, so wouldn’t that mean that we’re looking through OPs eyes? CMV
I’m not big of a fan of Chinese surveillance but to most peoples point that have already posted here, if this was about privacy then the government should be passing laws to protect consumer privacy as a whole and not just targeting Chinese companies. Really shows that the government doesn’t give a shit about your privacy just who’s able to get it.
Hi guys! I’ve been a kinda long term user of Freedconn camera/bluetooth/intercom combos, and I’ve been more or less happy with them. I’ve had up until now the more basic R1, then upgraded to two R1-Plus for me and my partner. These have been working very reliably for the last few years, but the weather hasn’t been kind...
I’ve thought about using these kinds of camera/common systems but a while ago when I looked into it they seemed to have so-so video footage quality and had so-so battery life. I’d be interested to know what other people think too, currently have a sena and go pro setup.
Looking at their website, I don’t see much about interoperability between brands though, and no specifics on battery life when in use. I’m not sure if you’ll ever get good footage at night though, I haven’t tested that with my gopro so I can’t speak to that.
I wouldn’t be too surprised. After the heart beat bills that came out soon after the supreme court ruling a lot of language for abortion pills felt like it could be applied potentially to birth control. I don’t think those bills passed where I am but it is worrying.
Why haven’t these sanctions already been in effect? Seems like every now and then there are some more sanctions being added but why not just do them all already?
When I tried setting up a new computer I initially started with Windows. Going through that new setup process was such a pain in the ass with how Microsoft tries to connect you to their services. I just want to use the damn computer without any of these ‘extra’ services. Like, is it so difficult to have an OS that you can just simply install and use without any BS? Its what finally pushed me to move to Linux. Haven’t looked back since.

I bring up homelessness because its relatable to what ive seen personally and can see where rehabilitation can do the most good. To me, they arent too far from each other. It sucks seeing communities struggling with suffering, needles all over the place and what amounts to people looking like zombies in the street. It’s sad and ruins communities. In the link I attached there is a correlation between homelessness and drug use. Without proper treatment and intervention many will OD and their issues will go unresolved. I don’t understand what you mean by casual relationship. There clearly is a correlation from what I’ve read. Do you have any data to prove otherwise?
I guess the crux of the issue is I just simply don’t think full legalization of all drugs is a good idea. Hard drugs are bad for the community at large you can take a look at these studies pewresearch.org/…/as-fatal-overdoses-rise-many-am…If you have some links to studies I’ll gladly take a look at them that say otherwise.
I like the idea of harm reduction but I think that’s one step of the larger approach of dealing with drug addiction.
Its foremost the drug issue that’s a problem for me. It hurts people and communities. I bring up homelessness because from what I’ve seen and what studies show, its a concentrated center of abuse. Its where people have the most need for intervention. It’s personal to me because I’ve it ruins communities.
I think you’re misconstruing what I’m trying to say, however I think at this point the conversation isn’t getting anywhere.
If you don’t want to take a look at any of the links ive given or provide decent studies to prove your point then I don’t think there’s a conversation to be had here. You clearly have your own biases that you don’t want to address. Agree to disagree.
