Article highlights:

The rock, nicknamed Cheyava Falls, has three critical features:

1. First, white veins of calcium sulfate are clear evidence that water once ran through it.

1. Second, the rock tested positive for organic compounds, which are the carbon-based building blocks of life, as we know it.

1. Third, it's speckled with tiny "leopard spots" that point to chemical reactions that are associated with microbial life here on Earth.

However, both the organic material and the leopard spots could have come from non-biological processes.

The rover has reached the limit of what it can learn about the rock.

They go on to say that the confidence in biosignature detection could be elevated significantly if the rock were brought back to Earth for closer study. And, it's implied that doing so would be a worthwhile endeavor.

Thirty years ago I spent three months as a USGS intern as part of a team taking depth readings on explored portions of caves.

What makes Mammoth so cool is the huge size of the passages. But, I don't think I'd have been nearly as impressed if I'd not spend three months mostly crawling through the tiny passageways that comprise the vast majority of most caves.

Wyandott cave once ran a 12 hour 2 person + 2 guide tour into the tighter areas. If they're still running that tour then I highly recommend it. At the time, it was damned near impossible to ever see a cave in that way unless you had a friend already hooked into the spelunking community.

I had to dig through so much shit to figure out what they changed that when I found it even the quote is crap.

The three approved guidelines for local election officials to certify voting results, changing the process from an administrative duty to an investigative one that could include digging into records and the way votes are counted.

If Trump doesn't win then they want to "investigate" until he has.

We did the same for urban fiber. It's never materialized, either. And, the USDA has been providing funding and loans for rural broadband for quite awhile.

This is the second third one. Here's the second:

On February 25, 2024, Aaron Bushnell, a 25-year-old serviceman of the United States Air Force, died after setting himself on fire outside the front gate of the Embassy of Israel in Washington, D.C. Immediately before the act... Bushnell said that he was protesting against "what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers" and declared that he "will no longer be complicit in genocide"

It's just another bullet point in a half century long problem.

The FTC is an independent Federal anti-trust enforcement agency. After SCOTUS 1977 Continental TV v. GTE made the nuance of certain contact terms subjectively legal, allowing mergers likely in the interests of global competition, the FTC has been effectively neutered. The only significant action has been the breakup of the Bells in 1982 and some Microsoft anti-Netscape gibberish around 1999.

The FTC has effectively lost every significant case it's brought since about 1970. Consumers haven't had any significant protections since 1982, more than forty years ago.

Clear, concise, and with respect. That seems exceptional for a modern parent.

Yeah, it's funny. But, OP, please tell him he's awesome for me.

Many who do this have no choice but to drive or lose their housing, job, children, etc. But, this city seems to have an extensive public transportation network.

Under current law, only someone shown to be innocent by means of a DNA test is eligible for compensation after being released. The law allows $36,500 a year for the same number of years the person was wrongly incarcerated.

The vetoed bill would have increased the payment to $65,000 a year and expanded it to include people freed by the conviction review process created in a 2021 law.

The conviction review process:

In order for elected prosecutors to have a pathway to correct wrongful convictions, it was up to the state legislature to pass a law

If this innocent person was eligible for payments in Missouri, which she is not, and if the bill was passed to increase payments, then she may have received a maximum of $2.8m. However, it'd be paid as an annuity of $65k per year. If she dies her family would get nothing more. And, the payments are in lieu of a civil suit.

She'll have to sue if she wants justice. I hope she does. I've been to prison. I think she deserves to be comfortable for the rest of her life.

They were gay children then professionals and furries. These hackers have been breathing operational security their whole lives. You probably find them when some Morpheus dude in assless chaps offers you two different brands of poppers.

Many articles but never a list of apps. What shit reporting.

I'd like one "law enforcement panic" defense, please.

If I'm understanding correctly the argument against her competing hinges upon a genetic test that the article provides no information for.

The evidence that she's a woman seems overwhelming. But the article doesn't provide the necessary information for an reader to understand and defeat the objection. We're not to reason for ourselves. Instead, we're to rely on ad hominem: The objection itself doesn't matter because it came from Russia. The article also ignores fallacy fallacy: There's also a very small possibility that Russia has reached the "good" conclusion for entirely "bad" reasons.

I know three things:

1. She's almost certainly a biological woman.
2. She won.
3. The author thinks you're stupid.

All the lukewarm attempts to help, rooted in shallow understanding, reinforced my suicidal ideation. What's the value of false love from a paid hotline worker one will never speak to again? It's negative.

Be ready to love the shit out of someone yourself. Share their sorrow. Don't try to fix it. Just try to understand. It'll fucking suck. The other person knows it sucks for you. Tell them it sucks and that you're choosing it.

Gun owner here.

1. Treat all guns as if they are always loaded - Followed
2. Never let the muzzle point at anything that you are not willing to destroy - Violated
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you have made the decision to shoot - Violated
4. Be sure of your target and what is behind it - Violated

This shooter violated three of the four fundamental gun safety rules. That's not an accident. It's attempted murder.

Social media didn't exist when I was a child. I'm thankful for that because my experiences now help me quickly recognize narcissistic DARVO.

1. Deny

2. Attack

3. Reversal of Victim and Offender

It often happens in a means most succinctly expressed by The Narcissists Prayer.

That didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

And if it was, that's not a big deal.

And if it is, that's not my fault.

And if it was, I didn't mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it.

A wide scope of situations can flow from the general to a fairly specific outcome: A child lacks the means to communicate righteous injustice and has a "meltdown". The parent films it, then posts it to social media with something like, "Look what I have to put up with (laughing to tears emoji)".

I'd never worked out in my life. So, I visited many gyms, found a mom & pop, and hired the trainer free from corporate constraints.

My second session he said, "You might be better off doing bodyweight exercises at home for a few weeks."

I told him that there was absolutely no way I'd form this habit by myself. I needed him to hold me accountable. I needed a routine.

We did bodyweight exercises at the gym for a few weeks. We set goals of a certain number of push ups, (band assisted) pull ups, sit ups, and (I forgot the name of the hamstring exercise) to "earn" my way back to the machines and free weights.

I can definitely understand how a trainer could get frustrated with an individual. But, a trainer that sends a noob home simply sucks. They should at least provide a referral to another trainer.

He wasn't laughing with Jews about the overbearing kindness of their mothers. If you say the quiet part out loud then you're of little use in sustaining and increasing profits. It's easier to burn witches than to acknowledge the quiet part said out loud.

This isn't rocket science. It's apathy, an incarnation of MLK's white moderate.

We're given just enough scraps to avoid mass unionization. That's because the last time it happened we got The New Deal. This time it'll be the Economic Bill of Rights. The leftist platform hasn't changed for 80 years.
