But also if it's an ocean planet and doesn't have a dense iron core, it's gravity won't necessarily be greater than the Earth's

naahhh, this is just media hyperbole. Not even the republicans would ignore the parliamentarian, that's just beyond the pale.

I am working with a mutual aid org which has some resources at its disposal (money & labor) to help the folks who live there.

Of course, the people living there know best what they need, and with their current setups they mostly need wood for their stoves, or fuel for their generators, which are running electric heaters. But not all of them have stoves or generators.

I think the next most obvious option is warm clothing and blankets, which it seems like they have in good supply thankfully.

My org has done some building projects in the past and is considering doing more, possibly with a rocket stove type design, though I'm wondering if that's worth the effort, and our money/time would be better spent providing the residents with more food/clothing/fuel.

I think it's actually cool and good to judge historical figures through a modern moral lens, and we should do this more often

I would be amazed at this point if Peter Theil had not funded some stealth startup to make an anti-woke LLM (like Grok but more openly fascist) to start spamming the internet with reactionary rhetoric. I try to not default to blaming everything on bots, but it really is only a matter of time until this happens, and I feel like the influx of batshit takes I'm seeing online does not correspond to the change in rhetoric I've seen from libs I know IRL.

I have a few friends who have mentioned to me that they barely do any work at their job, especially remote workers. One of them says they literally only work 6 hours a week.

Is this common??

For the past like 3 years I've been at a very micro-managey company that incessantly tracks time, so I've been pulling a solid 40+ hours a week. Job security is good, but damn, if I could go work somewhere where I can slack off more, that time would be invaluable. I'd love to read more
