I legit think he made the list for those repairs. It's ... it's a very NYC kind of thing to be annoyed by a bent fence in the park or a broken bench.
Hey, it's better than starting wars isn't it?
I have a strong feeling it's cope. The midterms may have actually penetrated his narcissistic veil enough to cause ego damage.
@futurebird but they can’t be from DC, because DC has no congressional representation!
They have a rep who can't vote but who sometimes tries to cause trouble. But that is just another thing that needs to be fixed.

Just like here, if you sort posts by Hot or Top.
no here its based on public votes. trustcafe you rate everything 0-100 and everything starts at 50. users, posts, replies, urls, whatever. everything can be rated. I want the sorting to just use the users preferences and not other peoples although I don’t mind a degrees of freedom setting. like taking into account the rankings other people you highly rank give things.
For a while, I was under the impression that all spiciness, or burning sensation in food flavoring, would come from capsaicin, the compound that causes it in chili peppers. Then I realized that Sichuan peppers are a quite different kind of heat. Wasabi (horseradish) is different yet again.
How many hot-flavored compounds are there? At least five!

Decentralized social media for environmental research

Decentralized social media for environmental research
A. Chai-allah, A. Ghermandi, N. Fox, D. Van Berkel bioRxiv · 10.64898/2026.11.06.764567v1 · ecology · submitted 2026-11-12
Abstract
Social media data are reshaping environmental research. However, recent ownership and policy changes on centralized platforms like Twitter/X have motivated many users to seek new alternatives while simultaneously accelerating data restrictions for scientists. Decentralized social media, particularly Bluesky and Mastodon, are emerging as alternatives for users seeking greater control over their data and as a more stable and sustainable source of data for researchers. This rise may be instrumental in revitalizing the role of social media in environmental research. This study aims to provide a first-of-its-kind analysis of the potential of these new sources for environmental research, demonstrating their potential usefulness through the examples of climate change discourses and people’s appreciation of wildlife. We find an increased adoption of Mastodon and Bluesky, with high linguistic diversity, even if dominated by English. Wildlife image content reveals broad taxonomic diversity, with plants, birds, and insects dominating the records. We find this pattern broadly consistent with that observed on the popular citizen science platform iNaturalist. Climate change discourse is found to broadly reflect the scientific consensus on both platforms, with contrarian claims remaining uncommon. This suggests that researchers may benefit from less polarized opinions and misinformation, arising from interactions that are less driven by engagement maximizing algorithms implemented in other platforms. Our study illustrates the promise of decentralized social media as a new data source for environmental scientists and paves the way for their broader use in environmental research.
Congress should have to live in dorms in DC and not be allowed to have apartments there unless they are from DC itself.
And they should have to eat in a cafeteria. Together. Once a day when congress is in session.

When I was a kid I'd get pretty bad nosebleeds every winter, due to dry air and having difficulty keeping my nose clear. This pretty much stopped when I moved to more humid climates.
But this winter has been pretty dry indoors, and now I'm on blood thinners...
@fluffy I used to have an aquarium as a kid to keep the humidity in my room up. These days I have gotten a couple of wicking humidifiers that work pretty well. (Thinking about investing in a whole-house humidifier at some point. )
@futurebird And take public transit.
@troublewithwords @futurebird and use healthcare.gov
As for NSoE: I'm going to start from scratch, and initially, there will not be a HTML export (I have to figure out how I want to do that first). I'll commit the built NSoE artifacts into the iocaine repo directly, so iocaine won't have a build-dependency on pgpgpg (or whatever else I choose to tangle the code out with).
Talking about pgpgpg... since there will be versioned NSoE releases, I feel much less bad about having an Emacs build-dependency for code tangling too. Don't want to build it yourself? There will be versioned releases and nightly tarball builds.
But, it's almost midnight, and I've been a good boy lately, and went to sleep at reasonable times (except yesterday).
Lets do that today aswell.

@ascentale @gbargoud @bikenite #BikeNite A6. VERY LOW GEARING FOR HILLS. Most bikes do not have low enough gear for where I live!!!!! Now that I know how to change these, I have changed some of my gearing... GRANNY GEAR FTW!!!
@ai6yr @ascentale @gbargoud @bikenite louder for the people in the back -- BRING BACK THE TRIPLE
Quiet caturday.
Atlas was looking for whiskers this morning. Wandering around looking in all her spots. 😢
He just turned 10.
Maybe we will get him a buddy eventually… maybe this time next year.
Apparently, David Attenborough has requested that his dog be shown his body should he die before his dog. He said they understand death, and otherwise his dog would think he abandoned him.
I hope it makes a fucking dent.
Men should be doing this everywhere.

This is absolutely necessary. And the first new public policy idea I’ve heard in a while.
Sports gambling is a scourge. It’s hurting people all over Ontario, and it’s only proven benefit is making rich people richer.

@sl007 Losgelöst von der an grobe Fahrlässigkeit grenzenden „Sicherheitsarchitektur“ - ich gehe jede Wette ein, dass so gut wie niemand aus diesem Desaster rationale Konsequenzen ziehen wird.
