  • TIL.

    [T]he fungi can mate with nearly every individual of their species they meet. [...] 23,000 different sexual identities, a result of widespread differentiation in the genetic locations that govern its sexual behavior.

    Why is it useful to call them sexual identities then? Are exact matches not able to mate?

  • — European countries: 54% — Asia-Pacific: 23% — Arab countries that have normalized ties with Israel under the Trump-brokered Abraham Accords: 12% — North America: 9% — Latin America: 1% — Africa: 1%

    Nearly half the deals were for missiles, rockets and air defense systems, Israel's defense ministry said.

    Kinda shocked not to see the US higher up. Still, 9% should be 0% and sanctions / human rights abuse trials.

  • I'll recommend "The Warmth of Other Suns" if you want a beautifully written history of racial history across the families / time periods in the US. Definitely helped me personalize & put together a lot of pieces left out of my education.

  • Vemuri wore a Keffiyeh during the speech, and called out MIT for having research ties with the Israel army and "aiding and abetting" the country with its "assault on the Palestinian people."

    "MIT supports free expression but stands by its decision, which was in response to the individual deliberately and repeatedly misleading Commencement organizers and leading a protest from the stage, disrupting an important Institute ceremony."

    I've definitely heard that line before: We are not retaliation for your criticism, just leveling major penalties for your minor infraction of an unwritten beaurocratic rule.

    About Google:

    The sackings followed a demonstration at Google's San Francisco office on Friday, attended by more than 200 Google employees. Two of the four fired employees [...] spoke at the protest. [...] Google's Security and Investigations team said the employees were routinely accessing information about other projects and employees inappropriately.

  • It was like overcrowded, literally maybe a dozen plus, 14, 15 people were lying on the floor and there was no space for me. That's why they put me in a TV room. The TV would be on for 21 hours in a day. It will turn off between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m.”

    The cruelty is the point.

    Also, we hear and Badar Khan Suri, about Rümeysa Öztürk, but there are dozens of people in these gulags who we're not hearing about. They need (obviously) to be shut down entirely.

  • The lawsuit was filed after 15-year-old high school sophomore (second year student) Blake Robbins was disciplined at school for his behavior in his bedroom.[6][14] The school based its decision to discipline Robbins on a photograph that had been secretly taken of him in his bedroom, via the webcam in his school-issued laptop. Without telling its students, the schools remotely accessed their school-issued laptops to secretly take pictures of students in their own homes, their chat logs, and records of the websites they visited.

    Incredibly gross.

  • “The department’s silence in the face of widespread defamation has not only made my position personally untenable but has also created an environment where I can no longer effectively carry out my duties within the city of Dalton without fear of further backlash from the community,” O’Neal wrote in the letter.

    What I hear is: publicizing and criticizing individuals' actions works to stop them.

  • I just put 3 coats of polyurethane on my workbench plywood and it's doing fine after a year or so. I'll probably switch to water based poly when my can of oil based runs out since I hear it's just as durable indoors and easier to clean up after.

    Refinishing this little table/desk for my young kid. What will yield a fine-not-perfect result?

    What kind of wood is this? Solid wood table was getting thrown out, scavenged for scrap wood.

    TIL it's better to charge a little every day than let your battery get low before recharging.
