It’s not going to be $4. It’ll be $4 in Google credit, and you have to use it within 60 days, but they won’t tell you it’s been added to your account so very few people will know about it …

I wish I spoke more languages.

I was dropping the temperature in my hot water heater, and they said it should be over 120°F to avoid accidentally incubating Legionnaires. I also found out that Legionnaires has a 10% death rate.

It’s an Advent Calendar. You open one door every day during Advent, in the run up to Christmas.

The mechanism would first be applied to Germany, Poland and Czechia, and could later be extended to Canada and the United States.

When you die, can I inherit your tinkering boxes? Please? :)

The fire has spread to another tank

I’m sure they’d be fine with seven 8-hour days a week.

I haven’t watched this yet, but personally I like the theory that not only is Trump in the Epstein files, but that the Epstein files contain proof that he was actively trafficking kids himself.

Works fine on my instance. Is this specific to whatever you’re browsing with (a specific app maybe), or the instance you’re on?

Sunflowers are nice :)

You forgot the resource extraction to create the product and the environmental damage and pollution that results :(

AI data centers are also gobbling down massive amounts of electricity, stressing the grid, giving consumers higher bills for worse service. All for something that pretty much everyone hates.

I don’t know why people bother with AccuWeather, when there’s weather.gov, with it’s free API.

Depending on what you’re trying to buy, versus.com may help you narrow down your choices.

That just gives money to Musk and other (complicit) shareholders. I’d much rather the company sink and then someone buy their stuff at fire sale prices.

I’ve never heard of yeast oil, but I just found this article on the climate impacts which maybe someone else who isn’t on the verge of sleep can summarize.

My main question regarding yeast oil is how quickly it goes off. Yeast itself goes off, and presumably yeast oil is a good habitat to breed yeast (which is most places in the environment), so, like, what’s the shelf life?

Separate questions have emerged about the preparedness of local communities, including Kerr County’s apparent lack of a local flood warning system. The county, roughly 50 miles northwest of San Antonio, is where many of the deaths occurred. In an interview, Rob Kelly, the Kerr County judge and its most senior elected official, said the county did not have a warning system because such systems are expensive, and local residents are resistant to new spending. “Taxpayers won’t pay for it,” Mr. Kelly said.

Sounds like they should be blaming themselves, then.

what makes flash floods so hazardous is their ability to strike quickly, with limited warning. Around midnight on Thursday, the [weather offices for the areas that flooded] put out their first flash flood warnings, urging people to “move immediately to higher ground.” The office sent out additional flash flood warnings through the night, expanding the area of danger. It is not clear what steps local officials took to act on those warnings. […] the local Weather Service offices appeared to have sent out the correct warnings. He said the challenge was getting people to receive those warnings, and then take action.

Again, that sounds like a local issue. What happened to your pride in local government and not needing the feds?

He said that climate change was making extreme rainfall events more frequent and severe, and that more research was needed so that the Weather Service could better forecast those events.
