I've lived within an hour or so of Portland for 40 years, and 24C (75F) has always been a reasonable temperature for late June

'Fallout': Manny Jacinto, Emily Mortimer & Thomasin McKenzie Join S3
I honestly can't think of anything I've seen Manny Jacinto in where I didn't enjoy him.
And yes, that includes Freakier Friday

Report it.
Probably won't make a difference, but wouldn't it be great if the app stores removed them for violations?

Stop using Opera Browser and Opera GX
Holy shit.
I thought this was just going to be a matter of poor security implementation or crappy feature sets.
Turns out they converted the company into a loan shark operation owned by Chinese ad companies
when the Opera browser continued losing users (due to competition from Google and Apple), the company shifted gears to building mobile apps that provided predatory short-term loans. The interest rates on those loans ranged from 365-876% per year, and loan terms from 7-29 days.

Would Nuclear Weapons be as destructive in ship to ship space combat, as they are on the ground in an atmosphere?
From a NASA paper on this very subject:
If a nuclear weapon is exploded in a vacuum-i. e., in space-the complexion of weapon effects changes drastically:
First, in the absence of an atmosphere, blast disappears completely.
Second, thermal radiation, as usually defined, also disappears. There is no longer any air for the blast wave to heat and much higher frequency radiation is emitted from the weapon itself.
Third, in the absence of the atmosphere, nuclear radiation will suffer no physical attenuation and the only degradation in intensity will arise from reduction with distance. As a result the range of significant dosages will be many times greater than is the case at sea level.
Sounds like you'd end up with just a big blast of radiation

Is the word Alphabet literally just a conjunction made from the first two letters of the Greek alphabet?
Where does the word alphabet come from?
The word alphabet comes from the first two letters of the Greek alphabet: alpha and beta. It was first used, in its Latin form, alphabetum, by Tertullian during the 2nd–3rd century CE and by St. Jerome.

New Zealand food bank distributes candy made from a potentially lethal amount of methamphetamine
So apparently the "candies" were literally just solid meth tablets.
I have a feeling some smuggler is getting their limbs chopped off right about now for losing their load.

I find it very useful to have my wife's full name in my contacts.
We are involved in a lot of community organizations, and it makes it super easy to just share her contact card with people.

I do too.
It's absolutely inconceivable to me that USSS let a shooter get that close, that anyone could miss that shot, and that Trump would do anything but shit his pants and immediately save his own skin when faced with an actual threat

They're not going to "force" you to work. You always have the option of just starving to death.

More Words of Wonder
Example: The defenestration of the Russian reporter was absolutely aleatoric, and any theories tying their temporary occupation of the liminal space between sky and ground to their work in reporting corruption within the Kremlin is purely apophenic.

Valid point
Plenty of humans are smart enough to create social media accounts but are completely incapable of stringing together a coherent thought.
