  • So let's just look at paint instead.

    Are you fucking kidding me? Seriously?

  • I don't know, how does "Convicted rapist and alleged child molesting US president contends that the color of a publicly-funded overpriced underwater paint job is closer to blue than gray" sound?

    Does it still sound like news or should we be looking into the actual Epstein files?

  • The exclamation mark is part of the title. I would say the hard stop goes at the end of the sentence otherwise the exclamation mark could be construed as part of the sentence and not part of the title.

  • Great reference at the end. I almost slammed on the brakes driving past a warehouse in the next county when I saw its signs for Vandalay Industries.

  • I just wish that learning about this wasn't in opposition to people who believe they understood what science even is. To me, it felt like getting a degree in life sciences was like learning a language that the general public thought they already spoke, but when they tried, it was only jibberish. It was hard to find a starting point to explain it to them, and they were adamant about what they thought they "knew".

  • Precisely none at all. But check out uranium glass. You can eat off it, drink out of it, made with actual radioactive material, and it also won't give you cancer. It just costs more to produce.

  • Very cool. I need to reach out to my northern friends to see who will send me some

  • After Hurricane Helene, her neighbors didn't have access to the main road. She would not let them drive through her property so that they could park their cars at the road. Linemen came to repair the power lines and needed to open her gate, so she got the sheriff's dept to come out to ensure her neighbors didn't drive through while the gate was open. And then she posted on social media about how communities need to stick together.

  • We have a portable electric for when we travel. It's not quite as nice as the one at home, but it's waaay better than not having it.

    The one at home is the same or similar to what's mentioned above (I'm a big fan of the Brondell SS-150/250.) Cheap, simple to install, and removable for when you move. We rent as well. If you can see a little oblong handle on your toilet water supply, you can install it without anyone knowing. If not, try a portable.

  • She really is a troll though, just rotten. She's shitty to her neighbors, mean to those in her community, and cowardly to her constituents.

    I'm surprised the kid even got a response. I only ever get form letters, if that, when I've contacted her. I'll again be voting against her in November.

  • They could have all been exposed to the same source, for example, if rodents were in the air ducts

  • Most sources say no. From what I understand, there is a variant in South America that is believed to have been previously passed human to human, but that may be influencing media reports to say it can be rather than differentiating that in most of the world that hasn't happened.

    Edit: I see now that the article talks about the cruise ship having gone to South America. This still wouldn't necessarily mean that the virus is as transferrable as COVID was, but with the long incubation time, I understand the abundance of caution.

  • People contract it by breathing in aerosolized fresh rodent feces and urine. It's rare to begin with. This is very different from Covid in the way it spreads. I agree it's good to be prepared with ways to limit its mortality rate in affected individuals, but these news articles are whipping up hysteria in a population that just survived a world pandemic of something that was highly communicable. Hantavirus is not.

  • They were Jewish. Israelites fleeing slavery in Egypt. It wasn't out of fear of the calf-god, it was the rejection of one's own faith that made it a big deal for them.

  • He was a former Monsanto lawyer who never recused himself from any case involving them and always ruled in their favor.

  • Agreed

  • Pretty low bar for holier than thou

  • Over a certain speed, yes, but I'm referring generally to your perspective

  • Cool Rocks @lemmy.today

    I collect these from the river
