Jeep Renegade - we'll charitably give it 22 MPG, 1011/22 = 45.95 gallons. Current average gas price in SE PA is $3.82 - driving the ICE would have cost us $175.52. We're saving $115.52 so far this month. Fuck Trump, fuck MAGA, fuck the Saudis and OPEC and Chevron and Texaco.

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

more convinced than ever that what people are responding to when they say "democrats went to left on DEI" is "people i saw in my algorithmic social media feed." this goes for professional political commentators too.

Longing and jealousy 👀 Pre-dating era, cuz we love that yummy tension hehe. This is likely around when Yara begins to react this way to this kind of situation, sending her on some nervous introspection which ends up in denial LOL. She’ll figure out her emotions eventually, hang in there girl.

Yara getting on Hamzah's nerves LOL she can't help but be a nosy little electrical engineer here and there (and he is always overly concerned for her safety.) The bubble wrap has no relevance to the conversation nor incident, it's just Yara being Yara.

Yara's birthday is March 10 so Happy Birthday Yara! (a few hours late on this post sorry ;_;) Just the gang out celebrating the little pisces lady, circa pre-dating era for Hamzah & Yara. I have some dating-era birthday sketches too will get to those soon.

Turns out if you blow shit up it just makes them belligerent. If you inconvenience them they get really fucking mad.

Basically feminism for the past 250 years has been a struggle to establish that women are people endowed with certain inalienable rights, and among those rights are life, liberty, and bodily autonomy.

Denial of reproductive rights in the name of the personhood of the embryo/fetus is denial of the personhood of the person who's pregnant. It's frustrating that feminism is so often treated as done deal to dismiss when it's just getting started with so much yet to do.

"Why would you want them together? She's done nothing but manipulate him the entire time!" So? He's into it, she looked good doing it, and Ada Wong is allowed to do whatever she wants. Love and peace on earth.

This really was the moment we realized we were parents, slowly rolling away from the hospital after 3 days looking at each other "So they just letting us leave now...."

I'm saying this not because I want to "I told you so" but because I WANT THE KILLING TO STOP ALL OF IT And I am scared of what happens to us, to humanity, if it doesn't

That home was 7,500 feet from ground zero. The other, just 3,500 feet away, did not survive. The blast wave overpressure was so powerful it ejected the white toilet in the upstairs bathroom (visible in last two photos) through an exterior wall milliseconds before the entire house splintered apart.

There's a bit early on in neuromancer where Case is looking at people on the street and can pick out when they got their cosmetic surgery done based on what trend their face belongs to, and I've thought about that more and more as time has gone on.

Anyways.

reading is awesome

Saw a beautiful artwork on Pinterest, vaguely reminds me of 'Year of Hell' Janeway so here's my take #StarTrek #StarTrekVoyager

January 2020 being an insane month, for reasons unrelated to why the rest of the year was insane, really gets forgotten

Four GE GE4/J5 engines, each more powerful than both of the SR-71's engines put together, developed from the XB-70 Valkyrie's YJ93 250 passengers at Mach 3+ It would have been completely stupid, and that's why the Boeing 2707 is the best

Big Woo

A mindblowing fact I learned in the last year is that the global supplement & wellness industry is 3 times the size of the global pharmaceutical industry

Laundry fires are huge fear. I think we practiced responding to fires in laundry more often than fires in the engine room.

Even if you're literally on the ocean clean out your fucking dryer vents

This is why you take out the lint from the fucking dryer

Firefighting on ships sucks for a variety of reasons but the most pressing ones are that you are trying to fight the fire in a very small space given how most ships are laid out and if something goes wrong you do not really have anywhere to run.

To me the notion that is particularly useful is that of communicative intent. A person talks to you because they have some information that they would like to share with you. A language model produces text because text is what comes out when you push the button.

The drivetrain of an electric car is nothing but an overgrown cordless drill. We're still learning a lot about how to make them (just ask Hyundai about the ICCU!) but if we have to live in this dumb world where you need a car to survive, cars should be as simple as possible.

I need you closer and you're not even an inch away💚🩷 #oc #lesbian #monsterhearts

people said this about the newspapers, people said this about the camera, the TV, the internet, people said this about tiktok. lack of availability of information has never been the issue. It's willingness to do something about it.

trump asking for international buy-in for a war of choice he started unilaterally

"make your own comic/videogame if you don't like it" and then ten years later payment processors said, "not like that"

Imagine if the CFPB had scam call cops with the conviction rate of postal inspectors. 15% life improvement for like 85% of the country

All quality of life agencies should be as feared as postal inspectors

"I'm from the Department of Housing and Urban Development and I'm here to ask some questions about reported Fair Housing Act violations" should be met with the same level of "oh fuck oh shit oh fuck" reaction from bad actors as if an entire FBI Hostage Rescue Team rolled up to your door

DOT and HUD becoming absolute behemoths would be a welcome change from the seeming previous conventional wisdom that they should be left to die on the vine at best

US def spending being a relatively small porportion of GDP and yet more than much of the world's defense budget's combined says a lot about how Absurdly Wealthy the US is more than the US overspending on defense

I did some math a year ago and was actually surprised to see that defense spending was ~3.5% of GDP. I think we hear so much about how we spend more than X countries combined and assume it is much larger. I am certain there are reasonable cuts, but I think there is less than many assume.

what i want to see out of future democratic party leaders is a recognition that federal spending is legitimately good, that we should do more of it, and that doing so will require collective contribution that many, many people are going to scream absolute bloody murder about
