It’s pretty wonky, but HWRF is a great resource too, but not updated quite as often as some others.

“60% growth” seems large, but there are almost 85,000,000 people in Germany, so we’re talking about growing from ~0.03% to ~0.05% of the population here.

The Supreme Court had consistently been moving many issues to the left over many decades until very recently, so I don’t know what you’re talking about here at all. This is the direct result of the Republican Party, from Mitch McConnell refusing to even entertain the possibility of Obama filling Scalia’s seat to Trump appointing 3 justices. There’s a dose of Ginsburg’s narcissism in there too, she should have retired.

Chickens and many other birds appear to bob their heads because their eyes are fixed in their sockets, so they can’t fix their eyes on a point while moving, but instead have to keep their head still. What looks like bobbing is the bird pushing its head forward and keeping it completely still for a moment while its body catches up. Without keeping its head still, it wouldn’t be able to see much of anything very effectively, prey or predator.

T rex might have been able to move its eyes, in which case it probably wouldn’t have bobbed its head.

Buttigieg should be front and center a lot. He’s whip smart, a great speaker, and really relatable

I’m blown away by how many people use apps when they don’t have to. There’s a reason companies are always trying to get you to download their app, and it’s so they can put their software on your phone and harvest more of your data.

So for you, the lowest price is the only thing that matters? It doesn’t matter whether it’s a shitty product? Or that they’re one of the least efficient shippers due to their tariff avoidance strategy, and in doing so are contributing more per purchase to climate change than even companies like Amazon and Walmart?

Here’s a legitimate question…at what point, in your mind, does a child who’s suffered years of sexual abuse deserve to lose every shred of empathy? In no way am I ever going to excuse what MJ might have done, but he himself was also a victim for so many years, and was set up to fail from the beginning by his family and the industry

In 2010, Nasa researchers found graphite – a mineral made up of stacked layers of graphene – in lunar samples collected nearly 40 years earlier by the Apollo 17 mission. After ruling out the effects of solar winds, they attributed the finding to the impact of meteor strikes on the moon.

The Chinese scientists acknowledged that the impact of meteorites could also lead to the formation of graphitic carbon, as proposed by the Nasa researchers.

This seems to contradict the headline

As part of a job application, it’s called a résumé (reh-zuh-may).

To continue playing something, it’s resume (ruh-zoom).

Are these “the capitalists” in the room with you right now? JFC dude, the capitalist countries you’re complaining about are also the ones with the lowest TB mortality. Not everything bad is because of “the capitalists.”

“The federal government did a good thing! Here’s why you should treat it like a bad thing.”

The story here isn’t that AI is denying care to seniors, it’s that AI put those clinical staff at insurance companies who have been denying care to seniors for years out of a job

The flu averages like 700K deaths every year forever

I can’t help but notice you linked a story from over three years ago. I’m not arguing with any of the problems identified by the researchers in that article, but weakness in the commercial real estate market has been happening for over four years. What happened in 2008 took everyone by surprise. What’s happening now is on everyone’s radar and mitigation efforts have been happening for years.

The article in the post even talks about the financial institutions identified as over exposed in your article getting rid of these assets to reduce their exposure.

It’s really not though, at a very basic level.

This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum

Yeah that’s gonna be a hard disagree from me, dawg. The DOJ dgaf about any of that.

One of the most up voted comments on another thread about this was in effect “Assange has been cleared.” No, he pleaded guilty and served five years in prison, it’s just that he already served that time since he was never released pending trial.

All this extended conversation about all the downvotes and not a single person responded to the reason I gave for downvoting right up there. Merrick Garland’s DOJ absolutely does not care about politics, and the implication that this guilty plea has to do with the Biden Admin wanting to influence the election in November is fictional.

Yes, that’s what I said
