Shirley you can't be serious?
When will you feel comfortable with an indoor dinner party, once COVID is eradicated?
can we get a wastewater tracking link?
I didn't initially think so many people could be so wrong so there had to be something interesting if you filtered out all the videos of airplanes, but it really seems like this is just an episode of social media hysteria?
The drones are a distraction from the Orbs!
Tremors (1990) is a great counterexample to the gun thing lol.
When the entire plot depends on the (usually affluent liberal) POV characters being incredibly passive, naive, and dedicated to politeness over their own well-being. recent example is Speak No Evil.
EDIT: From the article:
According to analysis by the Carbon Tracker Initiative, “the land required for solar panels alone to provide all global energy is … less than the current land footprint of fossil fuel infrastructure”.
I don't love the effect of solar (panel) farms on local ecology, since they take up so much space. But anything is better than fossil fuels since they give off the gas that kills everything.
photovoltaics are nice but Solar thermal farms and solar updraft towers really tickle my brain.
christ this is bleak. you bulldozed the thornscrub for this? couldn't even make them singlestory?
Our new quantum chip demonstrates error correction and performance that paves the way to a useful, large-scale quantum computer.

FAA put up a 1 month flight restriction over picatinny arsenal about the same time these reports started. it specifically calls out unmanned ariel systems (UAS) but I'm not practiced in reading these so I can't really interpret. https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_4_8833.html
don't need doctors to tell me what I already know.
the sooner this piece of shit dies the better.
I'd gently but firmly state that discussion of crimes should be kept offline and out official meetings. I'd make this statement "to the room" as it were.
OpSec is important even for perfectly legal antifascist organizing. Feds are not the only infiltrators to be cautious of. There's no way your org is mature enough to be operate as a recognizedly criminal organization. At this stage, to remain operating openly and legally, members who wish to engage in illegal acts must do secretly so as to not implicate the broader org & its membership.
This is partly why I like Matrix. a self-hosted (by the org), unfederated server provides an official private means of communication for the organization, but messages are only visible to the participants of the conversations, and the metadata of who's talking to who never leaves the server. It would be totally normal for members to have private conversations, why would we assume they're discussing crimes??? This org does not condone illegal activity!
entropate, deentropate.
that would be a prefix but yeah.
maybe entrope, entropate, entropize
A parallel sentiment I've noticed is DSA members in labor-organizing focused spaces stating their goal is to "help labor." We are labor! We're not apart from it, we're trying to help ourselves!
I've noticed that mutual aid efforts in an org often focus on directing aid outside the organization, essentially operating as a charity. Additionally, many leftist orgs are quite small and could benefit from additional membership.
I'm wondering if it might be better for a mutual aid org to focus its aid efforts internally? It is mutual aid after all. Please understand, I recognize that helping one's community is worthwhile, but an org focusing aid internally materially benefits the self-interest of its members. If one sees material benefit to joining a group surely they're more likely to join?
Am I off base here? Seems like an idea worth developing.
it's really fucking with me that neither axis follows a progressive ordering so I'm going to post a fixed (debugged) version. EDIT: lmao this is the most fucked up, inconsistent alignment chart I've seen. here it is fixed:
everything -> sometimes -> nothing
know -> not sure -> don't know

The full game is still yet to come. The project's intent is turn the Episode 3 story outline released by Mark Liadlaw (Epistle 3) into a game, resolving the cliffhanger ending of Half-Life 2: Episode 2.
the reverse (i'm using mathematical inverse here) of "Pull Pot" is "Push Plate"
you're exactly right, it is measurable.
