Ginsburg was worse; Feinstein at least was doing this in a situation where if she did keel over, a Democratic governor would replace her with somebody whose politics were broadly similar to her own, but Ginsburg knew perfectly well that her replacement might undo everything she accomplished and she refused to retire despite that.
They mentioning Maine up in here
Can I get a ‘fuck spez’
So we’re currently at the ‘apology that actually makes things worse’ phase, which means just a few more days until ‘unconditional surrender but even so nobody will ever trust you again’
Sure, but nevertheless they’re burning a lot more coal than they would be if they hadn’t pointlessly shut down their nuclear plants.
“We were able to grow enough soybeans to replace half of the whale meat we were eating, but we can’t replace the other half yet because even though we have plenty of lentils, we hate lentils and don’t want to eat them anymore”
Nuclear output 12.2021: 5599.8 GWh
Brown coal output 8.2023: 5422.0 GWh
Black coal output 8.2023: 2049.2 GWh
So if you, y’know, hadn’t shut down those nuclear plants, you’d be burning 1/4 as much coal as you actually are.
Germany of course is the country that recently shut down a bunch of nuclear plants + temporarily (we hope) replaced them with coal.
I don’t think the risk-reward really works out there, a 23-in-24 chance of dying just for the chance to spend your life attending endless boring ceremonies?
Mr Musk had initially rushed to embrace the news when Jenna, formally known as Xavier, transitioned at age 16.
To me this suggests that he first thought it would seem hip and contrarian to support his trans daughter, then he realized that actually the people he considers hip and contrarian are all about hating on trans kids now, and so swiftly pivoted to doing that. (I don’t imagine he had any strong feelings about his daughter as a person either way - it’s not like he was around for her childhood changing diapers or whatever)
The most unrealistic thing about this is the fact that they get to the recipe after just one paragraph; the real version of this would have like 27 photos of the father, a long essay about growing up and his various demons, etc, and there would be at least half a dozen banners about things gut doctors are begging you not to eat along the way.
This whole Zombie Tory business has me feeling good about the US’ biennial Congressional elections - a party that’s lost its mandate shouldn’t get to carry on running things for years and years.
Free, but without cheating it’s totally impossible to survive past level 10
Crusader Kings IV: you can still play as the Holy Roman Empire, but now you have to purchase the Holy Expansion Pack for $19.99, the Roman Expansion Pack for $29.99, and the Empire Expansion Pack for $39.99, despite the fact that it’s none of those things.
When you’re high enough, every bong is overcomplicated
Fun fact: that same actor also played Admiral Hanson in the classic Star Trek: The Next Generation 2-parter “The Best of Both Worlds.”
Although one wonders if “War and Peace” would have been as highly acclaimed as it was if it was published under its original name “War: What Is It Good For?”
That’s pretty much it; the OLED model is fine as far as physical design + screen, it just needs more competitive performance and to fix the Joy-Con drift nightmare
In addition to being good policy, this is going to be a lifeline for women in border states. (and will I suspect be much harder to police or prosecute - it’s very, very difficult to hold somebody legally liable in one country for an act committed in another)
The tourist-y parts of it are pretty much all newly rebuilt anyway; there’s not much of the original wall left at Mutianyu or Simatai or wherever.
