Look at him, thats my Qual.

Your what?

My Qualitative! My vibe specialist. Look at him, you notice anything different about him? Look at his face.

I'll give you a hint, his name is Jayden. He won a local poetry competition in bushwick! Yeah I'm sure of the vibe.

It's wild to realize that this was true when it was written four years ago, and that it will never be true again

Learning about how the first tree's injected acid into bedrock via their roots prior to loose dirt existing on earth so they could take in minerals. Wild stuff. This ended up causing 75% of life vanishing off the earth via mineral runoff into the ocean.

If successful, lithium-air batteries will kick jet fuel out of the sky and bunker fuel out of the ocean.

"Mainstream lithium-ion batteries have an energy density of ~250-270 Wh/kg, while future solid-state alternatives are expected to achieve ~500 Wh/kg. Lithium-air configurations present a theoretical energy density limit of 12,000 Wh/kg, a ceiling that matches the energy capacity of conventional gasoline."

The interesting thing about these results is that they don't change with class. The British are just very risk averse.

It's funny how at one point the Roman Empire stretched from Northern England to the Persian Gulf yet had such little cultural impact on the world afterwards

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums.

Or moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space. 

It's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?

An under-discussed element of the 10:1 policy is that it'd likely increase inequality between the 99 and 1%. Every worker and trade union will be pushing for higher CEO salary to drive up the minimum.

���� NEW: Green leader Zack Polanski will call for policies to end the "affordability crisis" tomorrow

- The introduction of a 10:1 pay ratio, whereby the highest-paid employee earns no more than ten times the lowest-paid

- Free school meals for all primary and secondary pupils

- Universal energy bill support for households and stronger rent controls

- A customs union with the EU to cut business costs

@Kiwicom24hrs Hello, is this the real account? How can you prove that

[Benjamin Rizzo @UnrepAgent]

@kiwicom247 I have gotten an email from you saying that you can't book my flight but aren't automatically giving me my money back.

Seemingly you have no working email address so here I am asking for my money back.

My theory is that the reason AI imaged kept on giving the wrong number of fingers, is that 5 is a stupid number of fingers to have

📽️ There have been many scary, unnerving days in this latest Gulf war.
But the past 24 hours was particularly bad.
Why? Because both sides are now causing lasting damage to the world economy's life support system.

GLP-1s will take more truckloads off the road than the proposed merger between UP and NS.

Grok estimates 3m truckloads reduced as Americans consume less calories.

The proposed merger is expected to take 2m truckloads out.
