Via Kyle Griffin:

AG rejects the claim that Biden tried to assassinate him during the Mar-a-Lago raid:

"That allegation is false and it is extremely dangerous. The document that is being referred to in the allegation is a Justice Department standard policy limiting the use of force. As the FBI advises, it is part of a standard operations plan for searches and in fact it was even used in the consensual search of President Biden's home."

So what if Biden did try to assassinate Trump. Biden is president, so he has total immunity, doesn't he? [end sarcasm].

Social Darwinism twists the biological theory of natural selection into a blunt club to batter the less fortunate.

It ignores the complex environmental, social, and economic factors that shape outcomes in the modern world.

Most of all, it absolves us of any responsibility to help our fellow humans.

It’s the philosophy that drove the financial crisis. The same philosophy that drove the NSDAP.

Prior experience with municipal scale infrastructure installations is helpful but not required for the right candidate. Familiarity with engineeered biological soil cultures and bioactive remediation to graduate level is a requirement.

@laprice The UK could do with a few of those today.

Ugh, totally wasted open house. Lookee-loo City. I'm so glad this was our last one before we leave. The rest will be after, and the house will be vacant.

Sigh.

So, with that, I'll perk myself up (and hopefully you) with another dopey #CountdownToCanada gif.

I can't believe it'll be a week from tomorrow!

Have a good evening, everyone!

If I had a pool, I'd definitely use it to buy a house. 😉

Just keep hanging in there.

@sandlapper37 Sadly it seems they just decide that their circumstances make them a special case. https://www.thedailybeast.comthe-women-who-leave-anti-abortion-picket-lines-to-get-abortions

“All of us who do abortions see patients quite regularly who tell us, ‘I’m not pro-choice, but I just can’t continue this pregnancy,’” said [a Dr.] “We’ve even seen people coming into the clinic off the protester lines to get their abortion, then return to protesting outside the clinic.”

Solar panels question:
How resilient are they in the face of a Carrington Event?

tokensane,
@tokensane@mastodon.me.uk avatar

@SoftwareTheron Broadly, not an issue. Geomagnetic storms induce DC currents in very long cables, which is a problem for AC circuits. The Carrington event induced voltages were ~4v/km, so a single solar panel won't have a problem. A very large station might have a few volts in the cables running across it, but even then I can't see it being an issue in a system designed for variable DC votages anyway.

Anyone else in the fediverse take language lessons on ? I achieved a 2000-day streak there this past Saturday, which is the longest contiguous streak I've ever managed.

It would have been even higher than this, if not for one holiday (Christmas Day?) years ago where I forgot to complete at least one lesson, and I didn't have any Streak Freezes equipped. I've had to use a few Streak Freezes in order to preserve this streak, but for the most part I'm diligent about completing at least two lessons every day.

@Intaglio_Dragon Yup. I'm doing German.
