Jesus H christ. 800kmh winds that last for weeks. Nothing to do but just die I guess.

You have bested me twice this morning. I am here by retiring for a time to focus on myself.

Even Yellowstone endorses Kamala.

Watching for all caps meltdown from Trump over ELECTION INTERFERENCE

This sends the election back to the house, resulting in a Trump win. You’ve probably heard of the “secret plan”? Not so secret now.

No, don’t take away the agency of voters, or their responsibility for what their vote does. People are choosing this, it’s not being imposed.

This is true even outside the US, western nations seem a hairs breadth away from deciding that they’ll vote in the best interests of the rich, the rich who benefit most from climate change, and who by and large caused the most recent price increases.

So the rich get richer at the expense of the typical folk, and the backlash from the greed only serves to further reward the rich, while the typical folk get climate misery.

We do it to ourselves.

I think you’re confusing social democracy with democratic socialism. The first is as you say, and has huge overlap with liberalism, left liberalism, and progressive liberalism.

The second is achieving socialism through democratic means, without the need to overthrow government as once was believed to be entirely nessecary.

But then again, terms do change context over time, and by place. So maybe I’m the one who is wrong.

Conservatives have no media literacy and its a global problem.

Goodbye GPU

I did not know that was a thing and I absolutely would buy one. Thank you.

No disk drive is no purchase from me. I even saved up the money to buy one, but I won’t without a disk drive.

Will this stand up to the death of Chevron deference? Or are we 3 weeks away from a judge throwing the rule out unless congress passes a specific law.

I would expect that the planets gravity while heading into the sun from outside the solar system would greatly disturb the existing planets and probably throw some of them into new orbits if not out of the solar system entirely.

New fear unlocked.

Sure, here you go.

I’m not sure what to take from this second half, is protest only valid if it happens under a set of circumstances and targets you’ve chosen? Is protest by a westerner invalid if they don’t take a net zero canoe to India or China or Saudi Arabia to deface something there? Surely not.

Just a note for anyone disagreeing with the sentiment of my last line. I would have agreed with you a year or two ago, but then I read Martin Luther King’s Letter from the Birmingham jail and it changed my mind entirely on the nature of protest, nessecary tension, and the role of so called moderates in perpetuating injustice.

Give the letter a read, hear some analysis on it, it might change your mind like it did mine.

Nothing really, but the protest does shine a light on humanities superficial respect for historically important monuments and cultural sites especially when it comes to climate change.

Stonehenge is a culturally important site, no doubt about it, and the reaction to the protest has been swift and strong and includes criminal charges. But the same state that condemns these actions in the harshest terms is timid in the face of the much more destructive acts of climate change.

Where is the outrage over the climate driven erosion of the Cliffs of Dover? Or the surge risk to the tower Of London? Or Orkney Islands? Not even to mention the risks to human health, food production, invasive species, and fires.

Personally, I’m done carrying water for big oil and climate deniers by focusing on the method of protest instead of the message.

Ebike software allows for the modification of ebike speeds. Unless in Cali it isn’t like that.

I’ll try this.

I pretty much never use them, don’t have the right hand shape and grip for it.
