You know “Rule 3: Nothing ever stops until a Rich White Guy goes to jail”, was meant for a different context, but it absolutely applies to all these government agents. These people are violating court orders. An unenforced law is not a law.

The more you have had covid, the more chance you have to have a heart attack, stroke, or aneurysm. Please wear a mask indoors when you’re not at home.

So we're now hotelling it in Louisville until the truck with our stuff arrives.

We don't have a date yet other than "after Christmas". Our stuff is sitting in a truck somewhere around Fort Collins.

At least our room has a kitchenette.

So many things would be improved for fat people if medical research had to include fat people alongside thin people.

Surgeries, drug trials, nutrition, anesthesia, pain treatment...even the size of things like blood pressure cuffs. All of these things were developed by studying ONLY THIN PEOPLE.
I genuinely don't think modern medicine will ever be prepared to serve the needs and problems of obesity until it becomes a field akin to gerontology that studies the obese existence as a holistic system. So long as medical professionals treat it with the same heedlessness as the flu, we're fucked.

Fucking true.

Also the whole thread is great.
People narrow their world until they are boxed into a tiny space and then they get angry that other people are free.

the younger generations may not have quite as many Republicans but the ones they do have are the worst people you have ever met

While on a science diving trip in Kona, Hawaii, a group of Aquarium staffers encountered a humpback whale. 🐋 The experience led them to commemorate the whale sighting with matching tattoos.

what if, hear me out, the agency we have tasked with doing things like "tracking down mass shooters" was doing that instead of serving as foot soldiers for the new gestapo

Todd Rokita is a piece of shit. That has been true his entire political career.

In a major win for privacy + reproductive rights, the court ruled these reports must stay confidential—rejecting Indiana AG Rokita’s demand to release them.

Abortion is health care, and health care deserves privacy.

There are 4 people here packing up our stuff. Wow, they are incredibly efficient and there's no fucking way we would have been able to do this ourselves.

Truck comes tomorrow. Hopefully unloads in Louisville Friday or Saturday. Assuming good weather, of course!

Maybe I’ll be able to add a battery system to my solar sooner than expected!
This is incredible (good news too): “After a 40% fall in 2024 in battery equipment costs, it’s clear we’re on track for another major fall in 2025…The economics for batteries are unrecognizable, & the industry is only just getting to grips with this new paradigm”

Batteries now cheap enough to make dispatchable solar economically feasible
Energy think tank Ember says utility-scale battery costs have fallen to $65/MWh outside China and the United States, enabling solar power to be delivered when needed.

“Where in the United States does Antifa exist” proved to be a real stumper to the guy who just said Antifa is the biggest terrorism threat in the United States.
