carpet mold?

MIT Technology Review is talking

they did talk about this many years ago. This is a very old screenshot that has been around the internet for probably a decade at a guess. You might notice the check mark because this was from a time that twitter actually vetted sources. There’s nothing wrong with a publication having bad takes on occasion. That does happen now and again.

The telling part is the fact that this one single tweet keeps being reposted repeatedly, with the reply as if this is a substantive criticism of capitalism.

I see this posted a lot as if this is an issue with capitalism. No, this is what happens when you have to deal with maintaining the power grid using capitalism as a tool.

Power generation needs to match consumption. Always constantly the power grid must be balanced. If you consume more than you can generate, you get a blackout. If you generate more than you use, something catches fire.

Renewables generate power on their own schedule. This is a problem that can be solved with storage. But storage is expensive and takes time to construct.

Negative prices are done to try and balance the load. Its not a problem, its an opportunity. If you want to do something that needs a lot of power, you can make money by consuming energy when more consumption is needed. And if you buy a utility scale battery, you can make money when both charging and discharging it if you schedule it right.

That’s not renewables being a problem, that’s just what happens when the engineering realities of the power grid come into contact with the economic system that is prevalent for now.

There is more of a danger of being wiped out by microsoft than anything else

Its not a quick cash grab, the remaster was in development starting in 2021. This release had nothing to do with tarifs.

I approve. Good work.

There are better forms of traffic calming than speed bumps. Building an overly wide and smooth high speed road and then putting a speed bump in the middle of it is the kind of stupidity that typifies american road infrastructure. Rough, narrow, and curved mixed use streets causes traffic to drive slowly. Traffic cameras and school zones only exist because american roads are intentionally designed to be dangerous.

Money raised from road fines and tolls should go to public transport, like busses, and light rail.

Traffic cameras are revenue generators for police departments. Better road infrastructure is the way to make the roads safer. Traffic calming makes cars drive safer without requiring enforcement.

Its an indication of what the people who trade in extended hours think, which is not a particularly representative sample.

This announcement happened at the close of the markets. The price movement during active trading today cannot be in response to this announcement.

Watch the markets tomorrow, that is when you will see the effect of this news.

good. /s ruins the fun

Anyone making sarcastic internet comments in text expects some subset of people to take it seriously. Its part of the fun!

If that were the issue they would have canceled the orders several years ago. Refusing the planes at this point is due to more recent developments.

They were US citizens. Canada doesn’t let you stay longer than 6 months when just visiting. They had no choice but to return home at some point.

When I started HRT, my doctor had me ramp up the antiandrogen slowly over the course of 4 weeks. It was spironolactone and that caused some odd issues shortly after the increase day. Also I was on 4mg/day of sublingual estradiol. The weird feelings were weakness and an inability to regulate temperature, but nothing painful.

Other antiandrogens are available, it’s probably a good idea to make some sort of change to your medicine. Pain is usually an indication that something is wrong.

The most effective way for them to fight government waste would be to not sign executive orders unless they are unambiguously legal. This administration is constantly making work for federal lawyers at every possible opportunity, and lawyers are really expensive. “fighting government waste” is completely a smoke screen for what they’re actually doing.

Regardless, unless you order one of the premade ready to ship items it probably won’t get to you in time for this trip. They have quite long turnaround times.

Hi, do you know what the fiber content is? From checking their website they seem to have a lot to say about how their fabrics are sourced, but nothing as to what they are made of.

Trans people being for pansexuals is a common trope in queer pandering media. They specifically pair trans people with pansexuals, so they can be inclusive, but in the specific way that doesn’t ask their mostly cis and straight audience to question their own sexuality, because that might make them uncomfortable.

Its not a reflection of reality. Hot women are hot, hot men are hot, regardless of how they got there.

Edit: I disagree with the ban. It isn’t transphobic to be misinformed. They even phrased it as a question, and didn’t argue their position any further. They sounded genuinely confused about the terms, and every other reply seemed to have drawn the same conclusion.

Gender dysphoria is not diagnosed by the symptoms. The determining factors are the desire for change, and the presence of some sort of distress or discomfort. The specifics of the discomfort that you experience are not part of it. If you want to change your gender, and have some amount of discomfort as a result, you have gender dysphoria. From reading your post, it sure sounds like it.

If you’re interested, I have included the diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria and transsexualism from the American Psychiatric Association’s DSM-5, and the World Health Organization’s ICD-10 respectively. If you go to a doctor they will almost assuredly be using one of these documents to determine if you can be diagnosed for it. They both require some amount distress or discomfort but give no details on what that distress or discomfort feels like or how it manifests.
