@fluffyfiberwolf@fluffyfiberrawr@notthemorgue@bogposting Oh no, major metropolitan area, and epicenter of the American experiment deemed globally irrelevant by internet user whoโs never been due to looking kinda ugly from a Google Maps drone.
@Timstillherelol Iโve only ever heard โnicheโ pronounced โnitchโ in the context of like, ecology lol. And You would never use โnitchโ pronunciation as an adjective.
@fluffyfiberrawr@notthemorgue@bogposting If it was just cobalt, yeah, but Houston is literally a global energy production super-center. Houstonโs gdp is the 22nd largest in the world ๐
@fluffyfiberrawr@notthemorgue@DacDaDac1@bogposting Houston is one of the global leaders in chemical manufacturing, second only to china, and is responsible for the majority of the US chemical exports. Houston is extremely relevant if you care about anything outside of โcultured vibesโ
@loch157@Error403HRD@CherryBlack214@Timstillherelol An ai summary like grok that doesnโt link a source is very different from an ai summary (that you canโt turn off when searching google btw) that links the source literally right next to each piece of information.
@Timstillherelol When I lived in south Louisiana, we were forecasted to see extreme snow conditions (ended up getting over 12 inches in 2 days)
Anyway the week leading up to the winter storm, the state chartered fleets of snow ploys to drive down south and stage themselves in different towns.
@TMLutas@JongLohnson67@richard_normal Whatโs more expensive, paying for federal consultants and healthcare workers to amend procedures and do surveys and incident data analysis for at least a year BEFORE sending out bath mats, or just buying them wholesale and shipping them out?
@mirrorballboobs Because if businesses / municipalities might make the decision to not use one of the only available fire fighting materials in fear of enforcement from the EPA, they might not use it, and lead to worsening conditions in emergencies.
@mirrorballboobs PFAS/pfoa today is mainly found in fire fighting foams. These foams are used on fires that canโt be put out with water whether itโs due to other epa water regulations or incompatibility of materials with water. Enforcement of stringent PFAS limits could put workers in danger
@BujokMr Unless data centers are putting out fires hang pfoa and pfas, then no, they arenโt polluting your water supply and this limit reversal is not a conspiracy lmao.
@comet5inthe5ky Oh my god wait itโs .03 $?!?!? That would result in a 3 billion dollar Payout to artists like drake and Taylor, thatโs essentially a payout worth 3% of the entire publicly traded company to one artist??
@comet5inthe5ky I honestly can barely understand this persons grammar but .03 cents a stream for songwriting creditors is kinda insane, and would result in an immediate payout to Taylor swift alone of 36 million dollars. Apply that to every credited songwriter on a song & youโve bankrupt spotify
