My rain forecasts used to be reliable. I could check my app and know when my garden would be watered. It would tell me the minutes I had b4 a rain so I could plan bike trips.

Since July 1, it's as if it's giving a weather report for a different location. SAD

ICE is terrorizing people for sport:

“Sarah thought she was being kidnapped,” she said. “They didn’t really explain anything to her at first, they just kind of quietly took her and her son and immediately put them in like an unmarked white van.”

WHy might TRump attack DC tomorrow?
It couldn't be because...
1. it's known as 'Chocolate City" and he's racist?
2. Mayor is Black and female.
3. Chief of police is Black and female.
4. His poor DOGE guy got carjacked.

Anyone surprised

I have a simpler solution: every dealership has a racecar with 1000hp for super cheap.

If you go for the 1000hp car, you've proven that you are not suitable for having any such car and thus get your licence revoked or limited.

Same for guns: One assault rifle on display. Buy it and it's game over.

When does speeding avoid an accident? People always say this but there just aren't any realistic scenarios where it's true

Every example people provide could more easily be solved by slowing down

I mean yes but also maybe we need to start putting people in timeout when they speed. Like you hit 30 in a 20 your car takes a week long vacation at the impound and you ride the bus for a week.

"They’re cheap & they work. Installations cost much less than a road redesign, & they can systematically reduce car speeds in a way that traffic enforcement or lowered speed limits can’t. Indeed, the speed hump’s affordability, popularity & effectiveness make it unique among street safety tactics.”

All Hail the Humble Speed Hump

These simple, cheap traffic-calming devices are both effective and wildly popular with (most) residents. Here’s why more cities are going all-in on speed humps.

Another thing that needs a spotlight: that the antivax rhetoric & conspiracy theories about the CDC (and covid vaccines) were started by the crackpot profiteer who is now Secretary of HHS and his propaganda org, Children’s Health Defense

Dan Diamond @ddiamond.bsky.social · Aug 9

Feel like this needs a spotlight: employees were told that the shooting at CDC, which left an officer dead and buildings riddled with bullets, was targeted at agency, @lenasun.bsky.social, @laurenweberhp.bsky.social and @tobiaraji.bsky.social report

Years of anti-CDC rhetoric has consequences

Monarez did not provide any additional information about the suspect's motives during the call. However, a briefing some CDC employees received Saturday from senior agency leaders said the gunman left a note, according to one employee who attended.
"We were told very clearly that this was targeted, directed at CDC," the employee said. "But we were also told that this was an isolated event."
There has been speculation among CDC employees that officials may have known about possible threats. When Monarez was at the CDC this week - her first week on the job - she was accompanied at all times by armed security guards, the employee said.

During Monarez's call with staff Saturday, another CDC senior leader, Daniel Jernigan, who heads the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, or NCEZID, estimated there were about 40 bullet holes in CDC buildings on campus.
He did not mean it as a complete account, but rather an indication that "it will take a bit before the buildings are 'fixed' again," said an employee who listened to the call and, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to share sensitive information.
The shooting was "way worse than what was initially reported," the employee said, adding that gunfire continued for about 15 minutes and that "it's a miracle more people weren't hit."

Republicans complain about Texas Democrats “fleeing”—yet just days ago, they themselves fled D.C. to avoid voting on the Epstein files.

Why? To protect a convicted felon sitting in the Oval Office.

One side dodges accountability.
The other fights for democracy.

My weather app used to tell me when it was going to rain or storm within 1-2 minutes RELIABLY.

About 1 month ago it became rather useless.

Is this due to Nat'l Weather Service cuts?

Doesn't seem to be a problem in France, Taiwan, Netherlands, etc., which routinely place turbines next to high-speed lines.
