Add KUNC for that matter, broadcasting out of Greely with repeaters statewide.
Love it! Smash it Back (punk) and Old Grass Gnu Grass (bluegrass etc) are favorite shows. For anyone who doesn't know, you can play back shows from the last two weeks on demand on the website.
Zach Weinersmith's Open Borders is a fantastic (and amusingly illustrated) discussion of these types of concerns.
The US effectively does both: the lotteries are run by the states and total prizes are much less than total ticket sales, generating net revenue for the state. Winnings are taxed like other income, meaning there are federal taxes and in many states state taxes.
Most Jews are not israeli and israel is not representative of Judaism, but israel does claim Judaism as a core part of its "national" identity, so there's nothing antisemitic about pointing out the irony of Nazis supporting israel. The irony may be pretty superficial tho, some of the other replies here point out several reasons why Nazism and Zionism/israel are actually aligned.
Dang, pancake mix would've been so much nicer than plasticky waste dumped from oil rigs. Thanks for posting the follow-up article.
Thanks! This kind of research is vital work
I think boycotts are only really effective when they're organized and focused, but I'm down to avoid Boeing out of safety concerns if nothing else. Any tips on how to do that tho? E.g. any tools to filter flight results based on plane manufacturer?
I've been happy with Phonograph for queueing, nothing special but it seems very easy to use to me. Looks like tons of good recommendations on this thread I haven't tried out tho, definitely might be something better out there
Looks like the touton jokes may have had it right: https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/nature/outdoors/the-surprising-theory-behind-newfoundlands-mystery-blobs
I love the sense of old and new living together in harmony (I mean, I hope those trams' intergenerational household is harmonious)
This is the drilling rig on the Joides Resolution, a research ship that has made contributions to our understanding of paleontology, plate techtonics, and climate science over the past 40 years. The cool geometric structure insulates a camera from vibrations so they can get a clear view of the seafloor. Neat retrospective on the ship (with more photos) here: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/oct/09/a-huge-loss-is-it-the-end-for-the-ship-that-helped-us-understand-life-on-earth
There's great arguments here about how a service corps could bridge divides and give all youth a better pathway from highschool into the (often predatory) worlds of job markets and higher ed, and also great arguments about why mandatory service infringes on freedom pretty significantly.
Is there a way to structure a national year of service idea that gives people the freedom to opt out yet would still get chosen by many kids from diverse backgrounds? Like how do we get kids who have had a college fund ready to go since they were born to see the benefits of spending a year building bridges? It would be a neat cultural shift.
If you're into sci-fi and Afro-futurism I really enjoyed Sweep of Stars by Maurice Broaddus (written a couple years ago; cool to see what a long history it's building on)
What about some tree- or bush-like structures that have lots of small lights, one under each leaf? Having many lights that could all be positioned and angled differently would let you direct the light to only where it's needed and create a smooth shaddow-free glow. And be pretty too! Like the Cave of Two Lovers @Gorgritch_umie_killa@aussie.zone posted. Individual lights could have different color and brightness too.
Depending on the kind of bio-engineering or fantastical biology in your world these could be completely organic, completely manufactured, or some combination like lights attached to trees/vines grown for the purpose.
