you can catch the bold captains at https://www.marinevesseltraffic.com/NORTH-ATLANTIC-OCEAN/ship-traffic-tracker turn on Dual Track mode it’s wild how many ships ride close to big storms

the OG one would be the Doomsday Clock

The Doomsday Clock is a design that warns the public about how close we are to destroying our world with dangerous technologies of our own making. It is a metaphor, a reminder of the perils we must address if we are to survive on the planet.

When the Doomsday Clock was created in 1947, the greatest danger to humanity came from nuclear weapons, in particular from the prospect that the United States and the Soviet Union were headed for a nuclear arms race. The *Bulletin *considered possible catastrophic disruptions from climate change in its hand-setting deliberations for the first time in 2007.

egg_irl did in fact begin the process for me, like 8 years ago. Have the appt to get estrogen this week!

It was quite a surprise to learn that everybody doesn’t fantasize about being a girl at least a little!

framing is important though. Nobody considers a removedtail ‘diluted’ even if that’s technically applicable, the resultant mixture usually improves the beverage.

Ginger the Segway was supposed to revolutionize the way we view cities!

six assholes control everything americans see and stand to benefit greatly from another trump presidency it isn’t even subtle

you mean the media owned by billionaires who stand to profit again under another trump presidency like they did last time?

I’m in general an over-tipper but I have finally found my personal limit at being asked to tip in the drive through.

I just skip the places that have implemented it it just seems ludicrous

you’re definitely going to want to get on the Sailing Anarchy forums

i did the basic free course at nauticed.com and got a boating license for my state and that was enough to buy and sail a racing dinghy 8 hours up a river my first time out. Sailing is a blast you’re gonna love it! You can get a dinghy on craigslist for less than the cost of lessons so if you’re into DIY it’s a fun inexpensive way to go.

Why billionaire John Malone’s shadow looms over CNN

most folks aren’t aware that CNN went from subtle billionaire propaganda to outright billionaire propaganda within the last few years

It was all fun and games until your thrustmaster and your soundblaster and your modem hit an IRQ conflict.

Plug-and-play was a godsend for gamers.

if you read the linked pnas article at https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2313374120 while remaining scientifically dispassionate I very much get the impression they are trying to warn us about the trajectory we are currently on.

You are correct though, the article doesn’t say that they are alarmed I have inferred that from following the subject in general.

Niobium and hafnium do not occur as free elements in nature, but are refined from mineral ores. They are used in semiconductors and superalloys.

In addition to these two unusual elements, a significant number of particles contained copper, lithium and aluminum at concentrations far exceeding the abundance found in meteorics, or ‘space dust.’ “The combination of aluminum and copper, plus niobium and hafnium, which are used in heat-resistant, high-performance alloys, pointed us to the aerospace industry,’’ Murphy said.

they are finding elements that don’t even occur in nature, and elements that do occur but in proportions in the atmosphere that have grown significantly since we started burning up rockets.

Armchair scientists don’t seem to give actual scientists much credit.

NOAA is doing this science and is alarmed, this isn’t just some shower thought

Using an extraordinarily sensitive instrument custom-built at NOAA in Boulder, Colorado, and mounted in the nose of a NASA WB-57 research aircraft**, scientists found aluminum and exotic metals embedded in about 10 percent of sulfuric acid particles, which comprise the large majority of particles in the stratosphere. They were also able to match the ratio of rare elements they measured to special alloys used in rockets and satellites, confirming their source as metal vaporized from spacecraft reentering Earth’s atmosphere.

EstraDoll cuz she inspired me to get HRT :)

just because I haven’t seen anyone else explicitly state it; grass in this context is a slang term for cannabis

if you never sign up you’re excluded from a number of government jobs such as at the post office.

you shoot a man in a duel in the dirt road and he falls face first into the dust, you would say he ‘bit the dust’.

‘eat my dust’ is the variant for leaving someone behind you on the dirt road where they encounter the dust kicked up by your passage
