“shifts its approach” sounds so cool and methodical

Dude, I thought they meant people who shared the same name and I didn’t even think it was too stupid to be true.

God, that article is just one long list of totally avoidable disasters, for people all over the world and for US future diplomacy. All to save some undetermined fraction of 1% of the budget and stop imaginary condom distribution. The ends are stupid and the means are worse.

About the iconography, our flag, etc. I agree with you, but if you use them it is very important to be clear and specific in whatever else the poster says, because vague statements can be very easily misread and those symbols by themselves will likely give comfort/anxiety to the wrong people. You can’t just wave an American flag and say “resist fascism” or “preserve women’s rights” or “protect children” or something like that, because those phrases mean different things to different people, and the color of the flag has been a useful way to know at a glance what the speaker intends.

From what I can see in conversations with Trump voters, it’s the specifics that give them pause – did I really vote for that? So, pick some particular action to respond to, or several in separate posters. There are so many to choose from.

Weird: this is Safeway, Canada

No, I read it that he is demanding more water for Los Angeles for some reason.

“I want to see two things in Los Angeles: Voter ID so that the people have a chance to vote. And I want to see the water be released and come down into Los Angeles and throughout the state. Those are the two things. After that, I will be the greatest president that California ever has ever seen,” he said

California requires state or federal id when registering to vote and when voting for the first time in person. They recently banned cities and districts from making additional requirements.

Los Angeles primarily gets its water from three main sources: the Owens River, Northern California, and the Colorado River, along with local groundwater. Approximately 57% of the region’s water supply is imported, while groundwater accounts for about 34% of the total supply.

As a former los angeleno, I have always been proud of the changes they’ve made to conserve water in homes and business over the last few decades and I don’t believe most people living there expect to receive more water from outside the region as the climate worsens. But then, I don’t own any golf courses

Holy shit. Kepler was born in the wrong solar system

How is the texture? I accidentally sprouted (little tails) lentils once before cooking them in my normal meal-prep dhal, and found that they started out soft like normal cooked lentils, but got tougher and crunchier over the next couple days instead of softer. Did not like. But maybe it’s better as a salad?

That’s everywhere, as far as I can tell.

Tricky, as the Tesla would also have to be stopping/stopped for decent impact. Better as a cure for a tailgater, maybe.

Ooh, I didn’t know about that, but that makes sense so many raptors have those bars.

Reminds me of how cuttlefish make these ripply colors as they approach their prey: video takes a minute to get to the point

Different time scales, but maybe the same mesmerizing or visually confusing idea.

Dude, this just makes me mad about the big box stores, you’ve got aisle after aisle of poisons, herbicide, pesticide, weed n feed, moss off, etc. I know the agriculture use is bigger, but the home/landscaper market has big margins for these companies and they push hard to make it seem normal. The suburbs could be a haven for insects and songbirds instead of a dumping ground for chemical waste.

Maybe not. Data wasn’t broken down by choice of weapon.

Among children and young people aged 0 – 19 years in the US, COVID-19 ranked eighth among all causes of death; fifth among all disease-related causes of death; and first in deaths caused by infectious or respiratory diseases.

Yeah, in the yard, though, not the driveway, that’s all.

I once thought so, but in my experience with maples and fir needles it works really well. Much easier than raking for wet stuff. Of course, the correct way is to wait until all of the leaves have fallen (enjoy Autumn to its fullest) and then round them up once for the whole season. Every week or two is why everyone hates leaf blowers.

I’m not sure what this article is saying and I’m not sure even the article knows what it’s saying. Here is from the published study:

The largest healthspan-lifespan gaps were observed in the US (12.4 years), Australia (12.1 years), New Zealand (11.8 years), United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (11.3 years), and Norway (11.2 years) (eTable 2 in Supplement 1). The smallest healthspan-lifespan gaps were observed in Lesotho (6.5 years), Central African Republic (6.7 years), Somalia (6.8 years), Kirbati (6.8 years), and Micronesia (7.0 years) (eTable 2 in Supplement 1)

What I think I can take away from reading the study is that people in richer countries live longer especially when sick; and, among rich nations, a major factor in the slightly higher unhealthy years in the US is the length of time people spend addicted to drugs.

This is opposite. I think. The double and triple negatives are getting out of hand. The opportunists are threatening to primary (with billionaire backing) any Republican opposed to Trump.
