“But actually, it’s not the worst idea I’ve ever had,” he continued.

Yeah I believe that.

I am not reading your comment, I am simply traveling through it with my eyeballs. Also your comment doesn’t have gold fringe and therefore lacks jurisdiction.

Idk, it takes some real courage to stand between a parent and their dying kid.

The whole story is wild, and terrible.

He rang the doorbell shortly before 10 p.m. and waited for someone to respond, Merritt said.

“Whoever was inside took a little longer than he anticipated to respond, and so he just waited at the door,” Merritt said, citing a statement Yarl gave to law enforcement investigators from his hospital bed Friday.

“He heard rustling around going on in the house and then finally the door was open,” the attorney said. “And he was confronted by a man who told him, ‘Don’t come back around here,’ and then he immediately fired his weapon.”

Yarl was shot in the head, which cracked his skull and left him with a critical, traumatic brain injury, the attorney said. While the teenager was still on the ground, the homeowner opened fire a second time, striking Yarl in the upper right arm, Merritt said.

And then

Merritt said the teenager saved his own life by fleeing and banging on at least three neighbors’ doors for help.

At the third home, Merritt said, the neighbor told Yarl to lie on the ground and put his hands in the air. He complied and then passed out, the attorney said.

It’s already been published. But it’s superconducting at 10 K. This is a new high temperature record, but pretty far from room temperature.

They’ve been doing studies of what would be required for ignition for a while, but have never demonstrated ignition using the Z machine.

If they did have ignition, there’s no way they would’ve let LLNL claim to be first and enjoy all the media attention.

Nah, the Z machine never achieved ignition. That doesn’t mean it’s not a really cool facility though!

Hey now.

He’s a pompous, self-righteous felonious piece of shit.

The Onion has been going hard on Kissinger, deservedly so.

“He put Cambodia on the map and almost took it off.”

Seriously, he’s done so much good. There’s a nonzero chance that the only thing keeping him alive is his desire to do more to help. For example, Carter has said that he wants to witness the eradication of the Guinea worm,a parasite that he’s been working on stopping for decades.

“I would like to see Guinea worm completely eradicated before I die,” Carter said at a press conference in 2015. “I’d like for the last Guinea worm to die before I do. I think right now we have 11 cases. We started out with 3.6 million cases.”

Jimmy Carter started hospice care back in February.

If they need to raise prices by 18% to pay their workers, then they need to actually raise the prices on the menu. Right now this is just bait and switch, it’s dishonest and possibly illegal depending on the location.

Where did you hear that? CFCs can linger in the atmosphere for 50-100 years, so recovery is a slow process. It took more than a decade after the Montreal Protocol went into effect before the hole in the ozone layer stopped growing. Additionally, different parts of the ozone layer will recover at different rates:

If current policies remain in place, the ozone layer is expected to recover to 1980 values (before the appearance of the ozone hole) by around 2066 over the Antarctic, by 2045 over the Arctic and by 2040 for the rest of the world. Variations in the size of the Antarctic ozone hole, particularly between 2019 and 2021, were driven largely by meteorological conditions. Nevertheless, the Antarctic ozone hole has been slowly improving in area and depth since the year 2000.

Lots of doom and gloom in the comments here. As the article describes, the hole in the ozone layer varies in size over time. It is slowly recovering, but the annual variability means it sometimes is larger than before.

The variability of the size of the ozone hole is largely determined by the strength of a strong wind band that flows around the Antarctic area. This strong wind band is a direct consequence of Earth’s rotation and the strong temperature differences between polar and moderate latitudes.

If the band of wind is strong, it acts like a barrier: air masses between polar and temperate latitudes can no longer be exchanged. The air masses then remain isolated over the polar latitudes and cool down during the winter.

Although it may be too early to discuss the reasons behind the current ozone concentrations, some researchers speculate that this year’s unusual ozone patterns could be associated with the eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai in January 2022.

And

Claus concludes, “Based on the Montreal Protocol and the decrease of anthropogenic ozone-depleting substances, scientists currently predict that the global ozone layer will reach its normal state again by around 2050.”

twenty years. Aka 664 mooches

Steele also said in his witness statement that he believed Trump was “motivated by a personal vendetta against me and Orbis and a desire for revenge”.

He suggested Trump’s discovery of Steele’s friendship with his daughter Ivanka had damaged their relationship and also “deepened his animus towards me and is one of the reasons for his vindictive and vexatious conduct towards me and Orbis”.

Either I forgot this little tidbit or somehow missed it, but apparently the fact that Steele had a personal connection to Ivanka Trump was reported on at the time

I mod a community (under another account). Also I’m trying to comment more.

The app uses AI to identify the species of plants, animals, insects and fungi. In video mode you scan around something you want to ID as the AI narrows it down to the species. Then you can take a pic. The app keeps track of each unique species you’ve found (along with your photo of it). There’s also badges and achievements for identifying different numbers of species, if you want to gamify your nature sightseeing.

It’s basically real life Pokémon. Oh and it’s completely free.
