imo this is what locker rooms are for.

the design can have a lot to do with it though. the old YMCA near me was downtown and had a locker room with multiple rows of waist/chest high lockers in an otherwise open space, and communal pole showers. made it easy to be social. its demolished, the replacement is outside the city center, a weird alienating locker room design and only private showers.

This telescope is now online & will be imaging the entire night sky every 3-4 days, bringing an unprecedented time resolution to high-fidelity, wide-field images of the night sky. Check back in a week and presumably this viewer will be fully filled in.

Some background on the project.

I'm staring at the description in the posting, my resume and a writeup of my current job description like.

Why shouldn't I have it rewrite my existing boilerplate resume with elements from the posting which are relevant to my work experience?

would 1337x.to be good? I have a VPN to protect myself and know how to seed properly. I don't plan on doing this a lot. I just had trouble finding a particular old film in high quality and decided to pay it forward and post it myself.

I knew it was doomed from the start, but it was an interesting phenomenon and I want to read an account of what went down, the dynamics between different factions, tactical mistakes, etc.

Alasakball is referring to the content of the BBC article they linked.

"Quite frankly they don't stand a chance. They are being thrown into the meat grinder with little chance of survival. They are cannon fodder, and the Russian officers care even less for them than they do for their own men."

this is the reporting that has no evidence, and is contradicted by South Korean intelligence according to the other two articles they linked.

so yes, they're there, but it seems like they're in support roles more than combat.

it boasts an energy density over ten times greater than ternary lithium batteries, storing 3,300 milliwatt-hours per gram. It is highly resistant to extreme conditions, operating reliably in temperatures ranging from -60°C to +120°C without self-discharge or risks of fire or explosion. The company claims the cell's environmental impacts are minimal since the radioactive nickel-63 core decays into stable copper over time, eliminating the need for costly recycling processes.

Will was really down on this one on Movie Mindset and I gotta say I agree. I get what they were going for but something was off with the emotional core of this one. I'm amazed it won all those oscars cause I thought it was mid across the board. Is this really the best of what's on the academy's radar?

This company (coincidentally based out of the same city as OceanGate steering-device ) already have a contract to provide Microsoft with 50MW of Fusion derived electricity. A site for this plant has now been announced. Seems... early.

The site is located adjacent to a hydropower plant which I assume is where they'll get their electricity to run the plant. If they're successful then presumably they'll use those same connections to deliver energy (I'm not an electrical infrastructure engineer don't @ me).

They present like a Silicon Valley startup and I'm convinced they will fail but would be happy to lose that bet. They probably have a scheme set up to just milk more investor money for a while to buy electricity for Microsoft if they can't deliver on the actual fusion part.

:chuckles-i'm-in-danger:

been waiting for this to break into the mainstream for a while. really hate that I'm increasingly viewing the rest of my life as waiting around until I starve to death. Or asphyxiating if things go reeeeeally bad.

EDIT: From the article:

According to analysis by the Carbon Tracker Initiative, “the land required for solar panels alone to provide all global energy is … less than the current land footprint of fossil fuel infrastructure”.

~~I don't love the effect of solar (panel) farms on local ecology, since they take up so much space. But anything is better than fossil fuels since they give off the gas that kills everything.~~

bloomer

photovoltaics are nice but Solar thermal farms and solar updraft towers really tickle my brain.

I haven't touched it in a few years, thinking of jumping back in.

I've noticed that mutual aid efforts in an org often focus on directing aid outside the organization, essentially operating as a charity. Additionally, many leftist orgs are quite small and could benefit from additional membership.

I'm wondering if it might be better for a mutual aid org to focus its aid efforts internally? It is mutual aid after all. Please understand, I recognize that helping one's community is worthwhile, but an org focusing aid internally materially benefits the self-interest of its members. If one sees material benefit to joining a group surely they're more likely to join?

Am I off base here? Seems like an idea worth developing.

it's really fucking with me that neither axis follows a progressive ordering so I'm going to post a fixed (debugged) version. EDIT: lmao this is the most fucked up, inconsistent alignment chart I've seen. here it is fixed:

everything -> sometimes -> nothing

know -> not sure -> don't know
