Bees make circles. They only become hexagons when they squeeze together under the force of gravity. Spock would know this.

Failing to put scare-quotes or an “allegedly” qualifying “independent,” when every single honest journalist knows damn well that isn’t true.

If we shut down Mauna Loa observatory, they can’t update the hockey stick graph anymore and global warming will be solved.

You know what would also stop you from being removed from office? Having the police arrest the thugs trying to illegally remove you.

Germany fell to the same type of grift and they made it a point to learn from it.

Germany had an intervention forcibly imposed upon them. Nobody is coming to rescue the US from itself.

Except this time they’re expensive, not cheap.

Also, it makes me wonder if the REITs are starting to run out of buying capacity, which I’m guessing implies even more economic instability than even pessimistic folks realize.

Biden squeaked by while Trump was right in the middle of catastrophically fucking up the pandemic response. The notion that his gender had anything to do with his win is nothing but historical revisionism.

Fuck-the-working-class neoliberalism was her platform.

Yawn, more neoliberal apologia. It must be misogyny because it couldn’t possibly be their complete and utter disregard for the working class, right? 🙄

I don’t even use Adobe products, but this makes me want to generate crash reports to send them.

Yeah, it was Europe’s fault for getting the US to replace its utilitarian “to promote the progress of science and the useful arts” basis for copyright with ‘droite d’arteur’ moral rights (via the Berne Convention treaty) in the first place.

On other issues like immigration or racism, they are on a MAGA-level. There is no big controversy because it is widely taken for granted that European nations are ethno-states. This is less so in the former colonial powers Britain and France. But they have their own baggage that gnaws at them from within, just like the history of racial segregation undermines the USA.

What about Spain and Portugal?

It also drives home the point that class warfare requires solidarity, even overcoming racism.

To be fair, if you look further down the picture it comes straight out a scupper.

But yeah, there’s no real good reason all that extra water has to run across the porch floor when it could be piped across it instead.

Non-fascist countries should retaliate in kind.

I like it because the smaller size and larger flat bottom makes it easier to wield and cook evenly.

Woks aren’t supposed to cook evenly. They’re supposed to have all the heat concentrated in the middle so that you can control how fast the food is cooking by scooting it up the sides.

I suppose if you’re trying to use one on an electric cooktop you might have to begrudgingly accept a flat bottom, but a round-bottom wok (used over a high-BTU but small diameter gas burner that looks like a jet engine, or even charcoal in a chimney starter outside) is more “correct.”

Edit: honestly, if smaller size + larger flat bottom is what you want, IMO you should get a western-style carbon steel skillet instead.

To use current policy scenarios in order to justify the repeal of current policies (as the EPA is attempting to do) rests on a fundamentally flawed premise. If the world actively repeals climate policies – which the US proposes doing – it would potentially push us to a higher emissions scenario. Indeed, the high end uncertainty of a SSP4-6.0 scenario – which still involves large CO2 emissions reductions by 2100 – would be quite close to the upper end of the EPA’s 2009 range.

Similarly, the fact that the world has made some progress in bending down the curve of future emissions should not be used as a justification that climate change is not a problem.

A decent-quality digital piano (with weighted keys) has the same “problem,” on purpose.

A cheap electronic “keyboard” is easier (but less musically expressive) in that way.

(What’s really interesting are some of the more exotic electronic keyboards that have features like touch sensors so you can do vibrato, and stuff like that.)

RobWords fan?

Seems like a pretty big coincidence if not.

“Switzerland is mobilizing massive shipments of fondue pots for disaster relief.”
