IIUC the plasticizers degrade and then leach out of the polymer

Independent low information voters saw Trump as the more moderate candidate in 2016 and in 2024. That's just a fact.

Once they learned to use fresh pasta in frozen dinners the quality skyrocketed

🧵 In the last decade, reactionary centrists convinced the US billionaire class that young people -- students, political staffers, their own employees -- have gotten unacceptably uppity & woke. The entire billionaire class, including purported Democrats, eagerly accepted this story.

3D view of irrigation canals (blue lines) along Shell Creek, flowing out of the Bighorn Mts. Shows how the canals have gentler grade than the stream, eventually rising high enough to irrigate fields across the valley floor. Made this for the 2023 version of my American West course using #rayshader.

Also Cuomo: there is no “real answer” on affordability.

Cuomo said he would make affordability a cornerstone of his general-election campaign but would run on the notion that he will actually be able to make the city more affordable while Mamdani will only talk about it. “It’s about not just connecting with the perception of the problem. It’s finding the real solution and then having the ability to do it. You don’t want someone who just connects. That’s step one. What you really want is the problem-solver, and I can actually do that.” So what would he do on housing affordability? “There is no real answer,”

Here are hillshade views of the moraine running along the ridge top, dropping a little down the east side of it in places. Ice flow from the east (right).

This video talks about how the 5 star scale sucks because it's basically just 4 for bad and 5 for good, with everything else just being bad but louder, which leads to rewarding safety over excellence and this is also the exact issue with how we grade students in K12

An underrated factor in the difference between US and China policy is how many engineers and scientists are in China's bureaucracy, and how few are in the US'.

Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this?

Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids.

She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms.

Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen.
