Few things are more American than sending off massive bombs to be dropped on destitute brown people.

This is what, their fourth?
Fuck you, Togo.
I work 60 hours a week and had to move an hour outside the city to find a townhouse I could afford. And I’m one of the lucky ones.
Only since 2018. Before then I was born on 1/1/1990.
Yeah but how bout all our Marxist hurricanes that keep hitting the Gulf Coast? Our storms do way more damage than your bourgeois quakes.
Gaza does not have any operational airports, since Israel bombed the control tower at Yasser Arafat airport in 2001 and bulldozed the runway in 2002.
When your product kills half your customers, that just makes it more important to keep finding new customers!
Ah, an adult rhino. A unit I work with on a daily basis and can easily comprehend, unlike arcane measurements of pounds or kilograms.
Is this a scale where five stars is optimal, or where you’re being chased by police helicopters?
Yeah those 15,000 children the IDF murdered were all completely indiscernable from adults. Couldn’t have been avoided.
I’m glad most people seemed to get the joke.
26% of children between the ages of 8 and 12 “consistently consult the Bible when trying to determine right from wrong”
26% of children are obviously lying. No 8 year old is breaking out the Bible every time they need to make a decision. Otherwise they’d know about the commandment that they shouldn’t lie.
It’s a contactual term when you do business with the state. You need to sign a contract attachment confirming that you are not boycotting Israel, and if you violate it then you would be found in breach of contract.
Not all states have it but I’ve seen it repeatedly in my contract work with state governments.
Yeah, no worries. Hundreds of thousands of years would be very rapidly impending doom though!
What’s interesting is that we’re at about the halfway point in terms of complex life on Earth. The Cambrian Explosion happened about 538 million years ago and complex life likely has about the same time left. Interesting that humans happened to emerge right around the midpoint of that journey, and makes you wonder what kind of life will be around in the waning years.
Wikipedia has a summary:
“The luminosity of the Sun will steadily increase, causing a rise in the solar radiation reaching Earth and resulting in a higher rate of weathering of silicate minerals. This will affect the carbonate–silicate cycle, which will cause a decrease in the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. In about 600 million years from now, the level of carbon dioxide will fall below the level needed to sustain C3 carbon fixation photosynthesis used by trees. Some plants use the C4 carbon fixation method to persist at carbon dioxide concentrations as low as ten parts per million. However, the long-term trend is for plant life to die off altogether. The extinction of plants will be the demise of almost all animal life since plants are the base of much of the animal food chain on Earth.”

It links to additional academic sources in the footnotes.
The sun will get brighter in 500 to 600 million years to the extent that many plants won’t be able to survive due to disruption to the carbon cycle. Expansion comes later.
It’s a few hundred million years, not a few hundred thousand, before the photosynthetic cycle is disrupted by silicate weathering from increased brightness.
The article is by Rocky Mountain Institute, which is a think tank focused on clean energy transitions. And the rest of the language in the article is much more positive - batteries will enable a shift away from fossil fuels.
So yes, very odd word choice in the title given that the rest of the article generally views fossil fuel displacement to be a good thing.
Agreed, the drops under the tongue are a lot easier to do at home than the needles. Though I’m not sure about delivery - for whatever reason my allergist always required me to pick them up in person from his office. Not sure if that’s regulation or just a quirk of that one practice.
