These strikes are in direct response to unprecedented Houthi…

3M Co has reached a $10.3 billion settlement with a host of U.S. public water systems to resolve water pollution claims tied to "forever chemicals," the chemical company announced on Thursday.

House GOP votes to censure Schiff over role in Trump investigations

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), the sponsor of the resolution, and other conservatives tried to advance a similar censure measure last week, but 20 Republicans — objecting to language that could have resulted in a $16 million fine for Schiff, unless he resigned from Congress — joined most Democrats to sink it before it came up for a full House vote. Luna removed that provision to allay their concerns.

Sweltering heat tests Texas' power grid and patience as thousands in South still without electricity

Texas’ power grid operator is asking residents to voluntarily cut back on electricity due to anticipated record demand on the system as a heat wave keeps parts of the state and southern U.S. in triple-digit temperatures. Much of Texas on Tuesday was under excessive heat warnings. In the West Texas city of San Angelo, temperatures soared to an all-time high of 114 degrees. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas' request is its first this year asking customers to curtail their energy use. In neighboring Oklahoma, meanwhile, more than 100,000 customers are eagerly awaiting the restoration of power following weekend storms. And in Louisiana, more than 51,000 electricity customers are still without power.

r/arknights and the blackout moving forward

I think Reddit has shown it is no longer is the same open source, transparent, and community driven platform it used to be. Today's Reddit is huge, and it will still be relevant 5 years from now, and I don't think it will have a Digg incident. So to that end, the sub should just stay open to help new players.

Personally, I am winding down how active I am on Reddit. Does anyone know if mod @Xperr7 is okay us shamelessly copy posts from Reddit?
