@dylanmatt OTOH, a mass exodus from the West Coast may make it more affordable for those willing to brave the risks.
Everyone's moving to the South, not realizing that they too will face climate catastrophes.
If we're all gonna suffer, I'd rather suffer with a great view and good waves.
There's a new programming language in town - it's Mojo! I'm more than a little excited about it. It's Python, but with none of Python's problems.
You can write code as fast as C, and deploy small standalone applications like C.
My post is below, and a 🧵

In June 2021, Eric Popper got into a road rage incident and fired his gun at someone.
The Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office just dropped the charges against him.
In a "Stand Your Ground" state, you can lose your temper and fire your gun for no reason.
@NoelFritsch @IWillNeverTwee3 @FirstHealth I sincerely hope your kid realizes what a gigantic piece of shit you are in the future. Hopefully he grows up to be a normal human being, and cuts your retarded ass out of his life.
What a fucking pathetic child abuser you are...
I've been disappointed in content coming from @sciam for a while now, so I guess I'm not surprised to see this.
Let’s examine these claims:
1. Is nuclear waste “piling up”
2. Is nuclear waste becoming unsafe?
3. Do we need a repository now?
@Chris_1791@fasc1nate Trillions? If every single person in the US (330m) got their own personal street dumpster, and it cost $3000 per person, it still wouldn't cost $1T.
I wasn't intending to make this public, but apparently its in the news already, so I'd at least like to set the record straight. I am no longer an employee of Blizzard Entertainment, though I would return if allowed to, so that I could fight the stack-ranking policy from inside.
@jaeger_null@GreatCheshire It's the best Star Wars *anything* ever made, hands down.
There's zero Jedi or lightsabers, no sappy love story distracting from a mediocre plot.
If Star Wars didn't even exist, this show would be just as good without it.
@chaoswithlove@mason_pen@ricky_bobby77@FPedani@bread157@GreatCheshire Right? This show isn't just the best Star Wars content ever made, it's one of the best shows I've seen in years.
I know not everyone enjoys everything I enjoy, but man... That's a pretty remote hill he's choosing to die on.
In 1978, neurologist Dr. James Austin published a book entitled Chase, Chance, & Creativity: The Lucky Art of Novelty.
He proposed that there are 4 types of luck:
(1) Blind Luck
(2) Luck from Motion
(3) Luck from Awareness
(4) Luck from Uniqueness
Here's what they are:
@Laserbacher@MrCustomSuit "Some weird reason" you mean like everything getting brutally, incessantly slaughtered across the board, floors dropping for months on end, and virtually no bullish narrative to be found in any direction?
@BetaGaiden Tiny incremental steps are better than nothing at all, purely due to the threat of cascading ecosystem collapse. Every major system failure we can avertwe *have* to try
@BetaGaiden You're completely right about all of it, but at the same time every single step we take makes things just *slightly less bad*, so the more tiny steps we take, the better.
I'm aware it's all bullshit, and will continue to be so, but we still have to keep trying.
@BetaGaiden I'm not tryna suck my own dick here, I'm no genius, but I am surrounded by data experts every single day and literally every warning light and alarm bell is shrieking at the highest possible setting
@BetaGaiden Oh yeah it's super mega fucked. Switching to a Tesla won't do shit. We need to not only *end* consumerism, we need to mobilize the entire human race in recapturing carbon from the atmosphere, which, uh... won't happen.
I wasn't joking when I said it was fucking scary.
