The heat wave has broken and I was practically frolicking outside today. It’s so incredibly pleasant, other than the air quality warning from the nearby fires. 😬

Even if you perfectly solve crashes (doubtful, definitely not something that exists right now), the problems of microplastic pollution from tires and emissions from electricity generation are non-trivial.

It definitely depends a lot on the weave and weight of the fabric, my experience is generally if you have two regular looking tshirts, the cotton one will usually perform better than the polyester one. If you have something like polyester sports shirts those will probably perform better than cotton, but probably not feel as nice as either tshirt (IMO).

But definitely the most important thing is covering up with loose clothing, as you said! I have a sun jacket I wear because the UV is constantly like 10+ here. My dermatologist got so excited about it when I brought it up, lol.

Staying hydrated AF and wearing 100% cotton clothes, no polyester at all, is how I cope with it. Polyester is terrible for sweat and heat and will just turn you into a swamp monster, cotton wicks moisture away and lets it evaporate to cool you.

30 C isn’t that bad where I am for the summer, I regularly get groceries home on the bus in temperatures like that. I get sweaty, but a shower, salty snack, and a couple of glasses of water fixes that.

I get what you mean… as long as it’s from a distance or a long time after it sprayed. I was recently in the vicinity of a skunk that had just sprayed (not at me, but happened maybe 50 feet away max), and holy shit it’s so, so much worse up close. I had an N95 on and had to retreat because the stench was unbearable. Like burning tires and acid and it’s SO overwhelming that you can fucking taste it.

0/10, would avoid if possible. I still find the smell from a good distance like a 6/10 though.

The liquid growth medium my college used smelled so, so much like a mix between chicken noodle and miso soup it was unnerving. Mostly because of how good it smelled. Lucky microbes in their soup bath.

You didn’t fail, because you’re getting back on the proverbial horse. Setbacks aren’t failures, the only failure is to stop trying.

I can’t think of any audience that would be worse to interact with for Only Fans type content than redditors.

I think it’s a mixture of survivorship bias (20 years ago 90% of the crap anime didn’t leave Japan because there was no market for it) and some genuine quality decline. There’s a lot of money to be made in anime, so the safest bet from the corporate perspective is to make the thing that’s been successful a thousand times before. Over time this flattens character design and makes stories progressively blander.

Independent studios can also pump out trash of course, but at least it tends to be weirder, more interesting trash.

I think people are underestimating the enticement of having a woman president for the first time, because Clinton lost the EC. But that doesn’t mean that energy isn’t there, especially after losing Roe.

Whaaat, you’re telling me the people insisting that it’s literally not legally possible to run anyone but Biden at this point were full of shit?? 🙄

This article is about people crossing the border illegally, they can’t vote.

I’m not sad to see him go, but I can’t imagine Oklahoma will send anyone better in his place.

Yeah, Rimworld was in early access for 5 years and was worth the price the entire time IMO. Project Zomboid has been in early access for over a decade! If you just blanket ignore early access games you’re cutting yourself off from some excellent games.

Come off it, not being allowed to be on your cell phone during school hours isn’t the same as KOSA.

The APA document you linked even specifically discusses the effects of social media (what do you think they’re using their phones for?) on mental health.

Whatever genre Evil Dead II is; horror comedy? I fuckin love those 80s practical effects, though 🤌

Horror movie night with friends, meal prep, boil alive because we have a heat warning until Monday 😔

Murdered 70 years ago if you ask me. Even if he chose to commit suicide, the judges and doctors that convicted him of homosexuality and sentenced him to chemical castration via estrogen and testosterone blockers almost certainly put him in that state to begin with.

Gender dysphoria is hellish to experience as a random whim of the universe, but to have it imposed upon you as a criminal sentence by the state for being gay? Yeah, I’d fucking drink cyanide too.

This is such a dishonest reading of the text that I suspect you didn’t read it at all.

Nobody said that shark attacks don’t happen, just that they are rare and that sharks are incredibly ecologically important. “Sharks can, but almost certainly won’t hurt you” and “sharks are ecologically important” are only statements at odds with each other if your goal is to turn the entire planet into a daycare.

Concept artist Sam Santala pointed out that you can’t raise a support request to discuss the terms without first agreeing to them. You can’t even uninstall the apps!

Well, at least they made this as easy as possible to challenge in court.

But given the way AI bros behave I suspect this is a smash and grab. The penalties don’t matter if they get to keep the goods in the form of generative AI training.
