Der Wunsch, dass der Staat "väterlich" alles regelt, ist auch im Westen zu verspüren.
Zwar nicht in der Intensität wie im Osten, aber auch hier hätten die Leute es gerne "einfacher".

The most difficult part is placing all the fiddly little bits with tweezers and a microscope. The actual soldering is no issue at all -- you just put it on the hot plate and set the target temperature.

(1/15)

I did not want to provide another installment today, but I just came across this older boost of mine about special weather conditions on the #US #WestCoast, that leads to recurrent #FloodingEvents called Atmospheric Rivers (AR).

https://mastodon.social/@UncensoredNews/109610717322432046

Now, I am not a #meterologist, but we know from Part 2 that the ancient Andean people had recurring over-abundant rainfall issues, too (El Niño events).

Stylized picture of the Rocky Mountains in California and a blue-white, wide arrow crossing it, symbolizing an Atmospheric River.

Text:

"The science behind atmospheric rivers An atmospheric river (AR) is a flowing column of condensed water vapor in the atmosphere responsible for producing significant levels of rain and snow, especially in the Western United States. When ARs move inland and sweep over the mountains, the water vapor rises and cools to create heavy precipitation. Though many ARs are weak systems that simply provide beneficial rain or snow, some of the larger, more powerful ARs can create extreme rainfall and floods capable of disrupting travel, inducing mudslides and causing catastrophic damage to life and property.
Visit www.research.noaa.gov to learn more."

Tory leadership contest, positive proof that politics is show business for ugly people.

Patel accuses rivals of waging ‘personal vendettas’ as she launches Tory leadership bid

The former home secretary joins the contest with Kemi Badenoch expected to confirm she will run and Suella Braverman at risk of insufficient support

No. Toron leadership contest is proof that Torons will stay Torons, ugly in soul to the bitter end.

Die neue deutschsprachige Rechte (alle wissen, wer damit gemeint ist), die immer noch so tut, als ob sie die AfD ablehnt, wünscht sich kaum noch verhohlen einen Trump-Wahlsieg, weil: *Owning the libs* ist jetzt einfach wichtiger als alles andere.

Erschütternd und entlarvend.

Jörg Seidel 4 months ago • mastodon (AP)

Und Trump hat schon als Wahlziel ausgegeben die Demokratie abzuschaffen, damit die Linken nie wieder an die Macht kommen können. Die AfD hatte ihr offizielles coming out noch nicht, wobei einige sehr nahestehenden Personen ja seit jeher Einschränkungen des Wahlrechts auf Superreiche fordern.

ANGST VOR DIKTATUR -

Donald Trump -

«In vier Jahren müsst ihr nicht mehr wählen»:

https://www.20min.ch/story/angst-vor-diktatur-donald-trump-in-vier-jahren-muesst-ihr-nicht-mehr-waehlen-103156099

Trump verspricht: «In vier Jahren müsst ihr nicht mehr wählen»

Mit einer eigenartigen Aussage sorgt Donald Trump für Verunsicherung: Er sagte vor konservativen Christen, sie müssten «wohl das letzte Mal wählen gehen».

Banks don’t lend out depositors’ money https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/07/28/banks-dont-lend-out-depositors-money/ Most people think banks take in deposits from people and then lend that money to those who want to borrow from them. Nothing could be further from the truth. Banks take deposits and make loans, but they don’t lend out depositors’ funds. Nothing could be further from the economic truth.

Banks don’t lend out depositors’ money

I published the second video in the Economic Truths series this morning. In it, I note that most people think banks take in deposits from people and then lend that money to those who want to borrow from them. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Israeli daily Haaretz quoting Liat Aatzili, a released Israeli hostage once held by the Palestinian resistance in Gaza:

⭕ "The house was completely open, and I could roam freely inside. They didn’t guard me in the room, and they allowed me to shower, change my clothes, and they even washed my clothes. We talked about family, food, travel, and had pleasant and nice conversations.

⭕ "We talked about our children, our spouses, our parents, and our siblings. One of them had a cat, so we talked about our cats, daily life, and discussed food and cooking. I learned to cook dishes like 'maqluba,' stuffed vegetables, and various salads."
⭕ "I was astonished because they didn’t touch me, and they spoke to me in English, telling me all the time, 'Don’t worry, we won’t hurt you,' which made me feel reassured."

Ich habe die Diskussionen im Politikunterricht dazu, was für ein Menschenbild hinter bestimmten Maßnahmen steckt, früher immer gehasst. Die Fähigkeit und der Reflex, darüber nachzudenken, ist aber wahrscheinlich das Wichtigste, was ich in puncto Politik in der Schule gelernt habe.

How unexpected. I mean, Big Tech is only spending billions and billions of dollars on half-baked stochastic parroting, which they want us to believe is a necessary addition to our lives, while making us even more dependent on their products.

Hat mal jemand durchgerechnet, wie lange es gedauert hätte, wenn die gleiche Anzahl Menschen jeweils im eigenen PKW unterwegs gewesen wäre?

Flo 4 months ago • mastodon (AP)

Bei großzügigen 1,5 Personen pro Auto, 4 m pro Fahrzeug und einem Bremsweg von 4 m bei T20 ergeben sich:

8 km / 2 Fahrstreifen / 20 km/h * 60 Minuten = 12 Minuten

Bei T30 und 9 Meter Bremsweg:
13 km / 2 / 30 * 60 = 13 Minuten

Bei Schrittgeschwindigkeit (10 km/h) mit 1 m Bremsweg wären es 15 Minuten und bei T50 mit 25 m Abstand 17,4 Minuten. Das zeigt auch schön, wie Tempolimits in der Stadt den Verkehr beschleunigen können.

most ads for new telephones seem to emphasize features that not only I do not want, but I actively NOT-want... the sort of thing where "if I can't shut that thing off, I don't want that phone at all and why should I pay for shit I think is actually bad and evil?

I will never trust a photograph taken with current Google Pixels, since the big feature Google seems to promote is falsification of images.

I'm suddenly freezing with a roaring headache that I thought was a migraine - which migraine meds didn't shift (its usually pretty fast to work). I feel exhausted and worn out. And I feel like gawking mh guts up.
I'm shivering & this is the temp in the front of the van where I'm sitting.
Someone around here has been coughing and sneezing going in and out of the carpark behind me for the last few days. I hope they didn't have covid & I really hope I don't have it
