We just survived the hottest 36 days ever recorded

All this probably happened because we stopped to geoengineer by outlawing ships blowing sulphur into the air which created additional cloud cover.
You have your causality running backwards... this was already here, and the sulfur was masking it. This happened because we put so many GHG in the air.
It works, and without wrecking havoc on the overall system.
Europe is the one that initiated the sulfur reductions. With the additional dimming data now available, they reviewed it to determine how much damage had been caused. The conclusion? The benefits of reducing sulfur actually outweigh the damage of unmasked warming. The plan for further reductions was upheld.
If we mask radiative forcing, we don't want to be doing it with sulfur. That leads to acid rain, ocean acidification, and asthma and other diseases. CaCO3 is a candidate. The long-term consequences of any candidate is unknown. Except that we know that the less sulfur raining down on us and the fish in general, the better.

Illinois Supreme Court finds assault weapons ban constitutional
I'm pretty sure all of the people you don't want having assault weapons in states like Illinois already have them.
I'm not so sure the ones those people dream of targeting have yet acquired reciprocal defenses.
Happy to see less guns around, but I do worry about the pre-existing distribution of them.

with admins threatening mods & threatening to ban entire subs if they didn’t delete Nazi-punching posts fast enough.
Oh hey there, beholdthemasterrace subscriber! That poor mod.

Instead of movies and crappy games on those in-flight displays, they should just stream the view out the cockpit window.

Reddit mods are calling for an ‘affordable return’ for third-party apps
Reply in thread
It’s sad, but imo the reddit as we knew it is dead, and it’s time to accept that and move on.
I'd pour one out for dear old reddit, but I'm already moved on.

Reddit user alleges California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) non-compliance/violation; and finds it difficult to delete posts and content on Reddit

Also, it looks like reddit has been restoring posts deleted by that. Even with edit comments.
Craziness. I'm a long time PDS user and I've never had an issue with it or with my deleted comments getting rez'd. The boat must actually be sinking if they're resorting to these kinds of desperate actions.

I'm not sure. I stopped following it awhile ago, over half of the comments in some of the posts were brigaders.

You know what else changed? On-the-job training is now practically unheard of. The kind where the company invests in employees and their development.

America is a terrifyingly broken country.
