In the past I think they’ve sealed off the leaky module and let it go low pressure. I wonder why that doesn’t seem to be enough anymore.

Presumably the lever is controlling the real trolley problem being run next door.

yeah, capital delta is a triangle. It’s also used in math and science to indicate rate of change.

I was legitimately irritated when the called the gen after 360 the “One” instead of the “Delta.” They had a good thing going, why would they F that up?

Hopefully he likes heat.

I get it. Its basically a heated waterbed.

Japan is experiencing its first sustained inflationary period in many years. So these drives are seeing prices go up when they haven’t done so for much of their careers, and now their pay is dropping too.

Spoiler (for language) for those of you browsing without government mandated age verification blood tests… yet

I’m going to corner the market when the post war private jet price crash happens. What do we think we’ll be using for money then? Salt?

I have an LCARS deskmat… so the cat could be more comfortable when he visits.

Laszlo says, “Well, hello there.”

Nestle’s long history of sacrificing infants for profits continues strong.

They’ve said publicly they intend to turn it into a MAGA-first platform. And now people are surprised?

We eventually stopped buying toys for our cats. One cat’s favorite toy is dried leaves. The other can’t get enough of twist ties twisted into a loop

Neither of our cats seem to have the catnip liking gene, but they still go out of their mind for churu.

There’s the accelerated bleaching of coral reefs. The increasing rate of back beach erosion especially on the west coast of the US (now USGIS estiames say the Pacific Northwest won’t have any natural sand beaches left by 2100). The rapid weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and the Jet Stream. Mass-crab migrations started a couple years ago due to warming ocean temps. The Brazilian Rain Forest is probably past the point of no return. The Great Salt Lake might not make it 2040 (instead of 2100 - 2150) without another shift in weather patterns. Insect armageddon has happened way faster than anyone thought. And the massive ramp up in seasonal forest fires in North America has gotten bad far faster than expected.

When I was getting my bio degree in the late 90’s, early 00’s we learned a lot of worst case scenario models for climate change, many of which seem to be coming to pass. Those scenarios were for ~2080 - 2100.

Leaving NATO is part of Peter Thiel’s technofeudalist checklist. They want our overseas bases closed to end our status as a superpower, to hasten the end of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. And they want the money held by other nations be be transferred to the 1%.

Yes, about everything awful.

But also oil extraction prices are between $15 and $70 per barrel depending on the conditions of the oil fields. And any significant oil extraction rate increase will drive already volatile oil market prices down so far that US oil fields (that average extraction costs of about $40/barrel) will end up shutting down.

My cats only come running when they hear the other cat’s name get called. They only respond to FOMO.
