SFs official fireworks were shit even counting for fog

every lie, every exaggeration, every knowing omission, that a leftist makes is propaganda for the enemy

a leftist must speak truthfully, and if they make an error, they must acknowledge it

The US banned Hawaiian language, overthrew our country, poisoned our water, devastated our universal healthcare, & illegally occupies Hawaii to this day. My mother's hands were broken for speaking Hawaiian in school. The US is not a beacon but the destroyer of independence

its all immensely funny to watch

none of them know what any of these words mean or meant, so instead they're now are just positional shibboleths

meanwhile both sides talk about trans women as if they're male socialized in the original sense of that word, AND both sides make bioessentialist claims

something kind of funny is the way everyone now argues about "male socialization" and about "bioessentialism"

transphobes will use male socialization as a cudgel while also arguing for bioessentialist views, which is contradictory. trans women frequently do the same but mirrored

hot take: alan kay got lucky with the window metaphor, and has on the whole not contributed terribly much

fireworks are picking up. they invariably all just sound like explosions not fireworks. just loud echoing bangs. annoyingly startling

now to be fair, the onions are doing a lot of heavy lifting. onions are the key to anything smelling divine. just gobs of roasting onion

onions, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, tossed with oil salt and pepper, at 400+ degrees, and your house will smell divine

yet again roasting some simple vegetables and dying from how good the smell is

July 4th fireworks are starting already, making SoMa sound like its exploding. boo

this isn't to say this is a good idea to do, just that its kind of an interesting observation

the real answer is to have actual standards standards and systemic interoperability, because that's what pen and paper schematics basically are

what im thinking here is, it might be possible now to use computational techniques to ingest an image of a design. design schematics are supposed to have all the necessary information about the mathematically idea version of a design, so we ought to be able to parse them

hot take: the best file format for CAD might be PNG

a judge in 🇨🇦 has sentenced two anti-Indigenous white women to life without possibility of parole for 25 years for murdering an Indigenous boy L.L. in their "care", & 10 concurrent years for torturing his surviving Indigenous sibling J.L. in their "care".

now how about holding child "protective" services to account for their multiple failures in this tragic case?

Britain is currently running on an electricity generation mix that is over 90% renewables. The amount generated is in fact 112% of demand and the rest is being exported. That means that, were it not for the need to currently keep gas running to provide frequency and voltage stability, the country could technically be running on wind, solar and a bit of hydro.

it's wild to think that i have books about hobbyist electricity experimentation that are half as old as the USA

in SF if you doordash two 18" pizzas without a doordash membership it costs you $53/pie

there's something kind of gross about Applied Science making a video showing us his jizz
