Toxic Gaslighting: How 3M Executives Convinced a Scientist the Forever Chemicals She Found in Human Blood Were Safe

Decades ago, Kris Hansen showed 3M that its PFAS chemicals were in people’s bodies.

Her bosses halted her work.

As the now forces the removal of the chemicals from drinking , she wrestles with the secrets that 3M kept from her and the world.

The miracle of “” is that the words generated actually form sequences which humans process as plausible formulations of sentences in language we know.

Es gibt laut Youtube erst 1300 Zugriffe auf das Video, in dem @rahmstorf die Wahrscheinlichkeit des Zusammenbruchs des Golfstroms (genauer: der AMOC) bespricht.

Lasst uns das ändern.

Das Video ist verständlich und liefert tiefgehendes Verständnis. Es ist die Zeit wert.

Nähert sich die Atlantic Overturning Circulation einem Tipping point?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, most of y’all don’t know what it’s like to be a fediverse developer of a popular project and have to deal with all the negative feedback and personal attacks

Let’s be nicer to the devs of the fediverse who have been doing this mostly unpaid for the greater good, all I ask is for basic respect!

Anfora, Prismo, Firefish and dozens of other projects have been abandoned by their devs, and I’d bet the fediverse mentality towards devs is part of the reason

After seeing how the XZ maintainer's burnout and mental health decline was exploited to the potential detriment of the whole world, we're totally going to be supporting our developers more, right guys? We're totally going to fund critical OSS and pay maintainers enough to hire on other maintainers to take the burden off of them and reduce burnout, right? Right?

Q: Why is Donald Trump suddenly selling $60 bibles?

A: It enables churches to funnel money to him without violating the (US law) ban on political campaigning by churches—it's a form of money laundering, in other words.

A pile of ad hoc tools, glued together to help you figure out why the heck things are going wrong is quintessential parts of the experience.

But game engines often leave these dev tools as afterthoughts: left entirely to the end user, and cobbled together from scratch for each individual game. I think can do better by identifying the commonalities between these tools and making it easy to reuse dev tools and expose them in toolboxes like dev consoles!

RE: Is Ernest still here?

I check in here quite often, but for now, I'm just focusing on clearing spam and keeping the instance alive. In January, I was working on the AP module, and there has been significant progress in the work, which hasn't been publicly published yet. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the year, I developed a skin condition that...
