French botanist and explorer Jeanne Barret was born #OTD in 1740.

She is best known for being the first woman to circumnavigate the globe with Bougainville's expedition on the Boudeuse and Étoile from 1766 to 1769. Disguised as a man, under the name Jean Barret, she enlisted as a valet and assistant to the expedition's naturalist, Philibert Commerson, shortly before the expedition's ships weighed anchor. According to Bougainville, she was an expert in botany.

Jeanne Barre
Unkwown - 18th century print. Originally found in Navigazioni di Cook del grande oceano e intorno al globo, Vol. 2 (1816) d'après Cristoforo Dall'Acqua (1734-1787).

Allegorical portrait of Jeanne Baret dressed as a sailor, dating from 1817, after her death.

The central figure of the portrait is Jeanne Baret, a French woman known for disguising herself as a man to participate in Louis Antoine de Bougainville's expedition around the world, making her the first woman to circumnavigate the globe.

Baret is depicted dressed as a sailor, wearing traditional seafaring clothing of the 18th century. This includes a loose-fitting shirt, trousers, and a sailor's hat, which symbolize her disguise and adventurous spirit.

Proxmox vs FreeBSD: Which Virtualization Host Performs Better?

Since migrating many servers from Proxmox to FreeBSD, we have consistently felt that the VMs are more responsive. It's time to conduct some concrete tests.

Wieso wird über #KamalaHarris eigentlich meist von einer Frau mit afroamerikanischen Wurzeln gesprochen???

Aus wiki:
"Kamala Harris wurde 1964 in Oakland geboren. Sie ist die Tochter von Shyamala Gopalan (1938–2009), einer tamilischen Brustkrebsforscherin, die 1960 aus dem indischen Madras in die Vereinigten Staaten emigrierte. Ihr Vater ist Donald J. Harris (* 1938), ein aus Jamaika stammender Wirtschaftswissenschaftler."

@denuviel No kidding. I haven't used an herbicide or a pesticide in the 22 years I've gardened here. Mind you, I have been going out every morning to lecture the juvenile red-tailed hawk screaming in my trees to shut up and eat the rats that are eating my tomatoes.

“The nation’s analysis also concluded the environmental risks of an increase in tanker traffic or an oil spill were too high, and would have “absolutely cataclysmic” consequences for marine life. “We’ve spent decades trying to be stewards of this land and these waters,” George said. “My son told me the other day: we won’t be the generation that stops trying to fight for this place.”
Auscandoc mastodon (AP)
“For Colgan of the #ClimateSolutions Lab, the government’s decision to invest billions in a piece of infrastructure, in an industry that is among the least globally competitive because of its high extraction costs, makes as little sense today as it did then.

“It seems very unlikely Canada can continue to increase its #OilAndGas output and also make its #ParisCommitments. I just don’t think those two are compatible.” (11/11)

Sex Testing at the Olympics: The History of Discrimination Against Trans Athletes and Women | Teen Vogue
The modern Olympics started in 1896, founded by Pierre de Coubertin, a French aristocrat. He had conflicting motives. On one hand, his idea for a global sports competition stemmed from anxieties about French masculinity following a war defeat. He saw sports as a way to masculinize French men.

The outpouring of support and excitement for Harris has been incredible. Soon the honeymoon will be over and it's going to get rough. So let's be ready for that.

But importantly I think the last week was an excellent lesson in narrative setting. For the first time in a long time, we set the stories, and the GOP was left playing defense.

We have always had that power. And the power resides in liberal citizens, not the Democratic party or the MSM. For once we stopped outrage posting about whatever narrative the GOP chose for the week, and set our own story.

Push back on misinformation where it matters. But it's also important to ignore the outrage farming and stop elevating the nonsense they throw out to distract us and keep us off balance.

Predictive policing must be BANNED to protect the right to be presumed innocent.

If not, the police will continue to use AI systems that infringe our rights and exacerbate structural power imbalances.

Quote from Sara Chitseko, ORG Pre-Crime Programme Manger: "AI and automated systems have been proven to magnify discrimination and inequality in policing. Of particular concern are so-called ‘predictive policing’ and biometric surveillance systems which are disproportionately used to target racialised, working class and migrant communities."

“Fun” interaction where someone confidently stated COVID doesn’t affect the brain in response to a comment about it, and when we mentioned there is evidence to the contrary, they immediately shut down with “I don’t want to know because I can’t do anything about it”, as their life circumstances (school age children, their particular job, etc) make it hard to take precautions. All this is to say that it sucks we’ve forced people into positions of willing ignorance just to cope with helplessness

As of 5pm last night, it was indeed a massive heat related disaster on the I-15 and I-40. San Bernardino County Fire Update:

"We are actively addressing the needs of motorists stuck without water and experiencing other issues. We strongly recommend that all individuals attempting to travel northbound divert and seek alternate routes...

Numerous calls for service have been received by our dispatch center from both Interstate 40 and the 15 Freeway. These include individuals exhibiting medical conditions and heat-related emergencies. In response, County Fire has brought additional ambulances and paramedic fire apparatus to the area to address these calls."

5 PM Update: Baker Incident
⚠️Northbound Closure: Northbound 15 continues to be closed with a hard closure at Afton Canyon. This is expected to be extended due to ongoing operations.
⚠️Southbound Status: The southbound 15 is currently open; however, there are periodic short closures to bring in heavy equipment and additional apparatus. CHP is coordinating these intermittent closures while emergency equipment is escorted on the opposing southbound lanes.
The San Bernardino County Fire Logistics Division has brought supplies to the Clyde V Kane Rest Stop off the northbound 15, south of Afton Canyon Road. Water has been provided at this location for motorists who are stuck without water and experiencing other issues due to heat and vehicle mechanical problems.
We are actively addressing the needs of motorists stuck without water and experiencing other issues.

It appears it did trigger heat emergencies (as I suspected last night) and also looks like it disabled many vehicles (overheating?)
