@georgetakei I love how we only have to do one simple thing to at least keep the pandemic from wrecking all our lives and it's the one thing you have to fight tooth and nail for against ever more resistance by the day.
Whole generations are going to be disabled by long covid and not even know what's going on as the brain fog hits while their disrupted immune systems fall victim to simple diseases over and over.
@georgetakei I need this on the front of my car. Not sure why, but around here people think the acceleration lane is for not accelerating. They insist on getting on going 40 in a 70 where other traffic goes 80+. And of course if you're the one behind them that means the trailer truck that can't change lanes is now on your bumper downshifting like mad, engine screaming, just a grill in your rear view mirror.
@arstechnica Rocketry is hard, the fact that SpaceX has it down to an (almost) fine art, makes it easy to forget for many, just how incredibly difficult the engineering is...They'll have this solved and sorted pretty quickly to everyones satisfaction,, to that I have no doubt.

Too bad a biochemical method doesn't exist to directly capture carbon dioxide from ambient air into a solid form.
It's not like Rubisco is the most abundant enzyme in existence or anything. Why not give a dying industry billions to continue their activities instead of actually solving the problem?
@arstechnica To be clear, it is impossible for carbon capture to ever reach a sufficient level. It is an excellent tool, but it must be coupled with other solutions as well. We need a multi-pronged approach. Reduce emissions and waste, capture what we can, use alternatives where we can, etc etc. If we do all this stuff together, carbon capture becomes an incredible tool to help support the other solutions. But it can't replace the others.
Trump is trying to run away from Project 2025. Says he doesn’t know anything about, or the people behind it. That’s a lie, so let’s put him on the witness stand, shall we? My full cross-examination in the piece, link in the replies below.
@arstechnica One wonders why we even report on such things anymore. (/s) Republicans only like something if it makes life more difficult or impossible for minorities.
@arstechnica I seriously can't see how people can't see that calls for privatizing things with no limits won't result in, well, no limits. In such a system it's not lowest bid wins, it's everyone finds the absolute highest bid they can get away with and then just focus on marketing to convince people their way overpriced service is better than the other way overpriced service. Marketing works a lot better than pricing for competition it seems because that's just how humans are.
@georgetakei The vision of her dancing should last for years. I know this because I don't dance much but it creeps up on me every once in a while. Rest now, you deserve it.

Yeh. If fashion magazines didn't already make it hard enough for women.
Time to end the #Patriachy and women can feel valued for more than their appearance.
