The unconstitutional plan to stop women from traveling out of state for an abortion, explained
  • I didn’t move here to be told how to live my life.

    You kinda did though…Texas has a long history of dictating what people can and can’t do. They’re great at PR, but they never liked when anybody is or does something they don’t agree with.

    Lawrence v. Texas was the exact case that made it illegal for Texas to kick doors down and arrest consenting adults for what they do in their bedrooms. Prior to that, cops could kick your shit in if they even suspected you were practicing anything but straight sex in the missionary position if they felt like it.

  • An "airport neighbourhood" where people can store their planes in their yard and taxi directly to the runway
  • Nearly all land near small runways and airports that fly planes using AvGas will have lead contamination. That’s because lead is still used in most aviation fuels a consumer plane would use. Runways are also required to have and use PFAS in firefighting foam for emergencies. Training and system tests will dump that stuff in the surrounding area.

    Unless these fine folks have A380s they’re paying a hefty premium for lead exposure and PFAS in their water and soil.

  • Table salt offers a safe, inexpensive and reusable pathway to recovering useful products from plastic waste
  • I get the skepticism, but where’s the profit in using NaCl as a catalyst in pyrolysis? If anything they’d be pushing a new and exotic catalyst that they can own a patent on.

    I hope this is as successful in the field as it is in the lab. We have a massive global plastic problem and anything that can help is needed.

  • Elon Musk Threatens To Sue Anti-Defamation League For X’s Lost Ad Revenue
  • He’s so wealthy he could personally go to your neighborhood and “Mansa Musa” your place into inflation. He could just drop $10,000,000 per person to get up and leave whatever square mile surrounding your residence right now.

    Assuming avg population density for a city in the US that’s only $2.8billion (~280 ppl/mile in cities). Not even a scratch to his total net worth.

    A single person with that much wealth and power doesn’t require any attention to retain it. He’ll keep coming out on top because it’s nearly impossible not to when you reach a large enough number.

  • [News, Call for Action] The U.K. Government Is Very Close To Eroding Encryption Worldwide
  • Supposedly they have experts and think tanks at their disposal to help them in these sorts of endeavours, for what?

    Experts aren’t hired to craft or guide legislation. They’re hired to give a pathway to a destination.

    In other words, politicians already know what they want and what they’re going to do, they need a way to make it accepted by society and to force corporations to play ball. “Experts” and “think tanks” will always align with that agenda.

  • Telephone operation was a good career for women. Then it got automated.
  • “We had authors and artists, but AI is so much more efficient they’re unnecessary.”

    LLMs are coming for artistic and creative functions first. Is human creativity and artistry unnecessary?

    Historically automation was on rote/repetitive tasks. This is a bit different.

  • Tired of men lying about commitment
  • So…Biden castrated the railroad union and it’s now functionally pointless. Any union that cannot strike or perform its own negotiations is a paper tiger.

    It’s not better if your master stops his friend from beating you and throws a scrap from the table. All he did was remind the unions and employees who the master is. Next time they’ll be just as dependent, if not more so, on government intervention.

    Railroads now know they never have to negotiate again.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Agreed.

    Under a Democrat: “We have to respect the rule of law, the court made a decision and now we have to abide by it.”

    Under a Republican: “The court has made its decision, now it is up to them to enforce it.”

    Democrats are truly spineless - they don’t even play the same game and bitch about losing constantly. Fuck this “honor in politics” shit, the fascists are winning.
