“This study is really the final nail in the coffin for what caused the Permian–Triassic mass extinction,” said Sperling, the study’s senior author and an associate professor of Earth and planetary sciences in the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. “The biggest mass extinction of all time started from a world that is very similar to today in having a relatively cool, relatively well-oxygenated ocean, and then there was a giant injection of carbon dioxide into the Earth system. Understanding how Earth and Earth’s biota responded back then could inform us of what’s to come.”

Every moment I spend with you is better than the next.

Use a vacuum cleaner with a detached hose. While applying suction from the screen side, slide the nozzle up while dragging the card with it.

Here's actually why: They took the story about Eric and Shelly, two sweet and innocent beacons of light in their community of poverty and crime, whose lives were snuffed out for standing up for their community against a criminal slumlord, with Eric's undying love for his bride-to-be transforming him into a vessel for righteous retribution and they fucking turned it into a story about a couple lustful hedonists on a two week bender after escaping rehab. Shelly and Eric are murdered by the most forgettable villain who for some reason can ASMR you into killing yourself not to unlike the first half of this boring snooze fest of a plot finally punctuated by a cool action sequence when Eric goes to the Opera, kills every security guard on duty. I'm pretty sure one of those guys was one day away from retirement and another wasn't even supposed to be there that day. To bad Eric is gonna murder hobo your ass because some patron inside killed his new fuck-buddy. And to top it all off SPOILER ALERT the whole fucking thing never happened because surprise surprise the EMT only had one NARCAN injection left and he used it on Shelly. I guess it was all a drug-fueled near death experience. 1/10 don't even pirate it.

This one is a bit hard-won for me. You see I used to be an asshole. It was my brand. I thought "it's just in my nature".

Fortunately, I was also a student of religion (mostly because I was a militant atheist. Know your enemy and all that). Studying Buddhism, I began to observe the nature of self. I found enough distance from it to see its transient nature.

I realized being an asshole was a choice and I could just as easily choose otherwise. Soon I began to discover this was true of most character traits.

I'm not saying you don't have consistent patterns of behavior. I'll hopefully always be curious and analytical. But for the most part, the way you conduct yourself and where you focus your attention is a choice.

So, if you're not happy with who you are maybe don't be so attached to the idea of 'who you are". And if that seems hard, observe what you pay your attention to and try to find the distance between observation and behavior. In that gap lies the choice you make, consciously or not, to be "you".

I have neither the crayons nor the inclination to explain it to you.

I'm more of a trackball users. Those little nubs are so hard to find. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

I assume this is going to arrive at the solution of "Upgrade to Gemini-supported devices today!" Yeah, no thanks. I wish I could get Home Assistant working with my nest minis.

Their fucking defense attorney is claiming he's less culpable due to autism and fetal alcohol syndrome

God Damned, that is pure fucking evil. Like, I can't even... Just literal evil.

"Yet one thing about the movie seems to take on a bit of extra meaning in 2026. The America in the film is literally in its second civil war and the American military officers in the movie are depicted in uniforms that unmistakably resemble Nazi uniforms. These fascist officers raid businesses (like the Hammerhead) and round up anyone seen as part of the resistance. Meanwhile, Canada is depicted as America’s sane, stable neighbor. Members of the resistance flee north for safety, and Canadian money is regarded as more stable than American dollars."

Zenni. I've got dozens of glasses from them. Every year if I've got money leftover in my health flex spending account I buy glasses. Fashion tint, sunglasses, just for fun, etc. It's never a waste.

Look at big shot over here with $1000 and an expectation of retiring.

"Most people do not realize how much of their life is spent playing invisible status games. This video breaks down social hierarchies, groupthink, dominance games and why fitting in can quietly waste the energy you could use to build skills, projects and freedom. The better move is not pretending you are above everyone, but becoming weird, competent and harder to categorize."
