Me reading all those slow burn sapphic romances. It shouldn't take half a book to kiss. Hurry up, my queers!

User renault mograine. Slow burn but it's written by an impatient person

User cheese an onion crisps. This doesn't affect the speed of the developing relationship at all, but does make for a very passive aggressive narrator.

Enter athletes   Enter    with reverence and honor
The Olympic Games begin
What a mockery in the here and now
This is not the Olympic Games, it is a sadness

Worse yet the IOC propagates here and now to ALL of us without shame naked misanthropy

Here and now the IOC is showing us ALL their real face

I call on the IOC to answer one question for me and for the tens of thousands of people who have already signed the petition

Why is a convicted sex offender allowed to compete at the Olympic Games? A person who raped a 12-year-old girl several times?

You can be banned for life for doping but not for rape?

Rethink your rules IOC

It is now up to ALL of us to show HUMANITY

This is not a hate campaign  or  hate speech

This is a call for silent, non-violent protest

I beg all those who visit these games
not to applaud this particular person
Turn around, leave the stadium, say NO
Or like me, boycott completely

What counts more? Thinking of victims or Olympic gold?

Enter athletes, enter
Leave humanity behind you
Leave honor behind you
Let the modern Olympic Games begin

In a first, EU transfers €1.5 billion to Ukraine using Russia's frozen assets

The transfer is the first of its kind under the novel scheme based on Russia's immobilised assets, estimated to be worth €210 billion across the bloc.

Reporting of the latest UBI test programme is ignoring the key finding, obvious to anyone who knows low income people, that their first impulse was to spread the wealth to others.
This thinking is so alien to economists and financial types that they barely discuss it. https://www.openresearchlab.org/findings/key-findings-spending
“Cash provides increased flexibility to support others.
Recipients of the cash transfers also provided significantly more financial support to others. As a percentage of the average spending for control participants, we find the greatest increase on support to others. Spending on others increased by an average of $22 per month—a 26% increase relative to control participants. This measure captures spending on gifts to friends and family, loans to others, donations to charity, and alimony payments. The visualization below shows the impact of the cash transfers on monthly spending across categories as a percentage of the average spending among control participants.” Bar graph shows help to others is the biggest spending increase

If they just analyzed money in our economy based upon velocity and taxed heavily the lowest velocity sources of money (hoarded uninvested savings), that alone would probably launch our economy into double digit growth.
@owner
Growth is kinda useless in a world where that dynamic is breaking the world. A tax system of demurrage doesn’t need growth to remain vibrant. Best of all, usury (interest) can be zero or negative because lending takes place in an environment of minimizing tax liability instead of profit. “liquidity preference” is given an expiration date.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @owner
I'm no expert.

Over 25 years I've regularly asked academic economists and other learned people "what is growth?".

I'm never convinced by the answer.

The best definition I can come up with is "the rate of depletion of natural resources".

Given the earth's resources are replenished at a finite rate (the sun), limitless growth cannot be desirable.
@rzeta0 @GhostOnTheHalfShell We're thinking too earthbound. One asteroid has more iron than all of humankind has ever produced. Once we leave this place, scarcity won't even be a concept anymore, at least not in natural resources. The real scarcity we face is interest, information and useful effort.

Even energy has no scarcity. A near solar orbital panel covers its development cost within the first few months. Even without a dyson sphere, we can benefit from this.
@owner becoming space locusts really *really* isn't the answer (and also frames everything *still* in terms of resource extraction and not that we're part of a vibrant biosphere that we are quickly destroying)

Megawatt charging stations able to re-power electric trucks within regulatory rest breaks
The Technical University of Munich (TUM) is working with industry partners and research institutions to develop a megawatt charging system that would enable battery-powered trucks to perform long-distance cargo transport.

The first prototypes of a charging post capable of delivering peak power of 1 megawatt (MW) was presented to the public on 19 July. The new charging posts will make it possible to sufficiently charge electric trucks for 4.5 hours of operation within the regulatory rest period, with no additional waiting time, said the university.

“The necessary infrastructure for the effective use of electric trucks is still lacking along the main transport routes,” Markus Lienkamp, TUM’s chair of automotive technology, said. He is leading the research consortium NEFTON, which is developing the required technical and infrastructure solutions.

“The technology for megawatt charging represents an enormous step forward.” Lienkamp added that battery-powered trucks have an efficiency of around 75 per cent, much higher than alternatives such as trucks powered by fuel cells with a 26 percent efficiency, and eFuels with a 14 per cent efficiency.

Frederik Zohm, executive board member for research and development at Man Truck & Bus, said that the project has demonstrated that electric trucks and megawatt charging are “the perfect combination for comprehensive decarbonisation of road-based freight transport.”

Number of total fools who did a weird partial stop to make a right on red looked to their left WHERE I WAS COMING FROM and proceeded to almost hit me: 1

I ended up almost on the left center line because I had been picking up speed coming out of a red light and there is a slight downhill at that intersection and I didn't want to slam on the brakes in case someone was closer than I thought behind me.

Sam Levine mastodon (AP)
The fool then kept trying to pass me on my right (I think?) but got stuck hovering nearly in my blind spot on because see: downhill and I picked up speed. *Finally* takes the first right turn. Because heaven forbid anyone in a car stop and let a bike with right of way actually have that right of way when you can get to the parking lot you are headed into 10 seconds faster.

iOS 18 braille screen input command mode is cool and all, but um... how do I do the equivalent of double tap? On a braille display, I'd normally use the routing keys for that. I don't think there's an equivalent chord command unless I'm missing it?

You can also do a two finger scrub to the right on most controls. If you are focused in an edit box the 3 6 chord must be used.

Tonight, President Joe Biden said “We are a great nation because we are a good people.”

Earlier today, Donald Trump said: “We are a stupid country that’s led by stupid people.”

Who do you think we are?
