"Just making s**t up" — David Roberts sounds off on the EPA "To say members of Congress didn’t anticipate a specific pollutant is just f**king comical."

New in PN: "Just making s**t up" — @volts.wtf sounds off on the EPA

“How the f**k are they going to do that? If you can get the Supreme Court to rule carbon is not a danger to public health, it will mark the point at which they have abandoned all pretense, because that’s just a flat out lie.”

“Everything I offer of value is present in this boring clip” is not something I would eagerly admit.

My husband was just dozing and snoring at the other end of the couch, when all of a sudden he interrupted the steady rhythm of snores to go, "Uh huh!" (kind of in the cadence of Cecil turtle), before returning to snoring.

Reposting some of my older photos onto this account. These are from June 2022, some pre-sunset views of Longs Peak from the shore of Bear Lake in #rmnp.

Our experience is generally good with most discs, but there are some… 😒

One I popped in the other day had so much unskippable crap at the beginning. FBI piracy warning, commentary disclaimer, etc., etc. The trailers were skippable, at least.

The night before full, it was really pretty driving home from a concert downtown with the moon lighting up the snowy mountain peaks above the foothills.

Went out back and took a long exposure when I got home, though Longs always has less snow than the other peaks I was seeing.

There are a couple by us with business name on them. Just a nice, big reminder to never patronize them!

There is also one that has a forest green vinyl wrap, almost exactly the same color as the Waste Management branding, making it look like a big, self-propelled dumpster.

This probably has implications/side effects/ramifications that I'm not thinking of. But god, does it sound like an attractive model! Like being able to go to the grocery store or corner shop and just buy a copy of the newspaper without subscribing.

Wholeheartedly agree.

But you know what else I would love — independent journalist or big publication? A system that would just let me pay like 25¢ to read a story. I start the piece, it's interesting, I can pop in a quarter to the digital newspaper machine to read the rest.

clarifying for non-experts a bit:

a) there is no vaccine-autism link.
b) lots of antivaxxers (eg RFK) promote a vaccine-autism link (which is false)
c) JB acknowledged no vaccine-autism link…
d) …using squishy language, eg "[no] single vaccine causes autism" & “other vaccines are less well studied”

It might kill a few kids, but at least it only lies to you about a third to half the time!

"even though it has cost many kids their lives by telling them to self-harm" is a HELL of a qualifier when describing something as good…

Especially when, depending on the test, ChatGPT has hallucination rates anywhere between 1% and 70%, with a higher number of tests falling in the 30-50% range…

Way to fluff those fascists, you transphobic turds!

Walz demands DHS stop detaining Minnesota children In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Walz demanded details about how many Minnesota kids are in detention facilities.

They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas.

For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare.

Get out of here with your environment-destroying parrot shit slop, brought to all of us by exactly the people who have helped to get us into the situation we are currently in.

Pathetic.

No reforms for these brownshirts. Legal sentencing and jail time for the ones we can convict for their human rights abuses and murders.

Exile from polite society for the ones we cannot. And for people who abet them. You know any of those, Chuck?

I did find someone on Reddit purporting to have a copy of unstated origin, and the post is recent. So if someone's feeling froggy and wants to download unknown files from an internet stranger on a spare, quarantined device… 😕

Again, I'm probably replicating work you've done, but I couldn't help but look around myself, and the strong consensus is that there has been no official, commercial English dub.

Pan's Labyrinth Blu-ray (El laberinto del fauno) Pan's Labyrinth Blu-ray Release Date October 18, 2016 (El laberinto del fauno). Blu-ray reviews, news, specs, ratings, screenshots. Cheap Blu-ray movies and deals.

Unfortunately, the only English track on the disc is the commentary. Which I suspected, but wanted to be sure on.

You my have already checked, but looking at Blu-ray.com, it doesn't seem any releases have English audio listed: www.blu-ray.com/movies/Pans-...

Photo of Gov. Shapiro and an unnamed individual shaking hands. Superimposed on the image is the text of a quote from Krasner: "Governor Shapiro is not meeting the moment. The moment requires that we call a subgroup of people within federal law enforcement — who are killing innocent people, physically assaulting innocent people, threatening and punishing the use of video — what they are… Just say it. Don't be a wimp. "DA LARRY KRASNER "On Shapiro's criticism of him" The Philadelphia Inquirer's I logo is superimposed in the lower right corner.

I have the Criterion release at home. I'll check when I'm back in a couple hours and email you if it's got the English audio track.

The fact also stands that right now, due to efficiency, hydrogen for fuel cells is almost entirely generated by pyrolysing methane, and that process generates a large amount of CO2 as a byproduct. That's potentially fixable long term with H2O and vastly more power, but BEV gets us there now.

Technically, it was a startup. But it, too, was bankrolled by billionaires and multimillionaires who got exactly what they were paying for.
