That is awesome. Glad to see it, and thanks for sharing! 😻

Precisely the first reference that popped into my head 🤣

Not quite walked away. Nobody died on the scene, but two adults and a child were critically injured. Here’s hoping they recover from their injuries.

As to the cause, I can only speculate until the flight data is available, but I suspect it had something to do with the wind conditions. They were recording gust speeds up to 37 mph which is pretty high and at the very least could cause an uncomfortable landing. If they got a higher gust or the wind direction suddenly shifted, it could cause the plane to experience uneven lift. One wing goes high and the other dips. If this happens just as the plane is touching down it’s nearly impossible for the pilot to correct.

Get some boinks. They’re straw-like tubes made from a mesh material that can be compressed to shoot them across a room (I think it’s a heat-shrink material originally made for bundling cables together). They’re super cheap and our cat that loves all things stick-like (straws, pencils, pens, etc) goes bananas chasing them around.

So basically, these people don’t understand what FEMA’s role is (rapid response to assess damage, provide assistance for immediate needs, and help direct and fund local recovery efforts). Instead, they seem to want some magic fairy to show up and pay for all the uninsured things they lost, no questions asked.

It’s sort of built into their belief system. Early Christian authors wrote prophecies that their followers would be persecuted for their beliefs. So any time they can claim it’s happening they get to say "see? Prophecy fulfilled!

But also, when your group has lived in a position of massive privelege for hundreds of years, equality feels like persecution. It’s the same reason groups like the proud boys have been so successful in recent years. It’s backlash over society heading in a direction where white men are not defacto leaders in control of everything.

There are some relatively powerful groups. Americans United for the Separation of Church and State was founded by a Christian minister and has always had religious leaders on the board of trustees. Maybe kick them some support if you want to encourage them to do more.

Maybe…

Organic Maps does everything Google Maps does (except traffic conditions)

I really doubt that’s true, but I’ll give it a shot… it doesn’t seem like they position it as a good tool for driving directions, which is my main use case. Lack of traffic data is sort of a big part of that. How well they keep up to date based on things like road construction and changes is important, too.

I’m not sure what your point is. That’s why there’s a trial. A murder trial. To decide if he’s guilty. Nothing in the story claims otherwise. In fact, they go out of their way to point out that he has only been accused, not convicted.

Then why did Hobbes_Dent complain the list didn’t have enough examples of Caucasian issues?

I don’t care, and neither should anyone else. The fact that there are genetic propensities for disease that are more prevalent among ethnic groups is not relevant to the substance of the article.

That’s a nice list of red herrings. Those are all facts supported by evidence gathered through research. The point of the article is that RFK Jr has made, and continues to make, claims of fact that have no evidentiary basis, and in many cases directly contradict the available evidence.

What makes you think anyone that would be willing to do that has physical access? I don’t have access to the server room at the office I work in, and we don’t even keep any really important data there. It’s mostly just networking equipment. Anything really sensitive is kept on cloud-based resources that are housed at an off-site facility that is only physically accessible by the company that owns and runs it.

On Friday, speaking about his plan for federal workers during a press conference, Trump stated: “It’s our dream to have everyone, almost, working in the private sector, not the public sector.”

They literally want to privatize every government function they possibly can. They’re saying it out loud, and have been for some time, and with control of all three branches of the federal government there’s absolutely nobody to stand in their way. So buckle up because things are about to get very bumpy.

The only thing shocking here is that he’s openly admitting he won’t keep his promises.

Try explaining that to the typical Republican party voter, though. All they know is “Obamacare BAD!” because that’s the message that has been pumped into their brains non-stop for the last 10 years. When you actually start explaining the specific things that the ACA established they’ll say, “Oh yeah, that seems like a really good thing, we should do that!” They don’t understand that ACA and Obamacare are the same thing.

We are inundated with these sort of low-information voters who don’t understand how their representatives are literally screwing them over while blaming the other side for all their woes.

But that’s potentially OUR money!!!

Sure sure. As with anything, moderation is key. But for a while there all the “health” influencers were making it out to be a super healthy option and telling people to put it in practically everything.

An emulsion like mayonnaise is not a pure fat, though. It’s a mixture of different fats (both saturated and poly-unsaturated) and water. The mixture is stabilized by emulsifying agents like lecithin that interact with both the fats and the water. When all theses ingredients are blended together with enough force they create an arrangement that is semi-solid at room temperature, yes. But you can’t compare that fairly to a pure fat. If you try, you’re missing the point.

That said, mayo is a great replacement for butter in some situations. Try spreading a little on bread before toasting it in a hot skillet.
