Exactly! They're one of the worst options. Always tried to get whatever Rocky was available. They were a better fit and lighter.

I Remember A poem

“The searing pain of the unfilled boots, / the solemn speeches, / the lowered ramp and the flag-draped coffin.” Read “I Remember,” a poem by William H. McRaven:

While that may be frustrating, I encourage you to disallow your undergarments from attaining a friction-assisted toplogy of high complexity

I kept copying what I thought would be the best quote, but continued finding more. "They require no coherent theory of victory; only the perpetual readiness to deploy force abroad without any real consequence to the rest of society. The warriors are always prepared; the policy never is."

An excellent piece, much recommended

A graph of low carbon sources over the last 20 years. Nuclear 9% (down from 17 in 2000) hydro 14% (very consistent) solar 7 and wind 8 (up from basically zero)

Renewables were 92% of new power added in 2024. Low carbon sources now accounts for 41% of worldwide electricity.

Though, I can’t help but look at this graph and think about how much better it would look if we weren’t retiring nuclear plants so much faster than we’re building them.

We've created a society where being confidently wrong pays better than being cautiously right. Is it any wonder we're drowning in bullshit merchants?

Is there an @xkcd.com that references the Köppen climate classification system? I haven't seen one but I believe I would enjoy it

I don’t think I ever would’ve used this sort of language a few years ago, but I am starting to think there’s really no good explanation for what’s happening at the highest levels of this country except evil

Like, in the ancient religious text/horror movie sense

It’s all destruction and misery

Domino's Is Fixing Potholes Because They're Ruining Pizza "Paving for pizza" is a good advertising gimmick,and the sign of a sad state of infrastructural affairs.

I would literally die of shame if I was in charge of infrastructure but needed Domino's to fix my potholes.
