Goddammit, Cincinnati. The University of Louisville has the signs that everyone used before 2015 and then extra stickers that say “transgender friendly” or something to that effect. You’d think a bigger city in a less reactionary state would be better.
Same thing.
Finally, they came around to what some of us have known since the late 19th century.
But hey, at least it gives you a new hat.

that works at a job justa shitty person
Yes
Thanks for the correction, edited. How is gas not 100% efficient, though?
But yeah, heat pumps are definitely more environmentally friendly (unless you’re habitually letting the refrigerant out, o guess). The real argument is whether the extra energy is worth it for protein folding (I’d say generally no, but if you don’t have a heat pump, might as well).
Heat pumps cap out at about 250% 400% efficiency, so you’d still be spending more to run them than to burn natural gas at that ratio.
They must have overshot, then. Computers are 100% efficient space heaters that produce math as a byproduct.
Anthropic Principle moment
“Basic biology” mfs when intermediate biology comes along
Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth did a good job with localization. I remember one character speaking with a thick Southern US accent, and at one point mentioning that she was from Kansai. I didn’t previously know that Kansai was rural, but I was able to get that from the context.
Transliteration is another thing entirely: it’s translating the sounds. “I’ll beat you so that the lights in your eyes go out” translated to Japanese is “君の目の光が消えるまで殴ってやる”. Transliterated back, it’s “Kimi no me no hikari ga kieru made nagutte yaru”.
That’s… kind of ominous.
If the mothers were initiating divorces and now aren’t, they’re staying in bad relationships because they don’t want the fathers getting more time with the kids, either out of concern or malice.
If the fathers were initiating divorces, they’re staying in bad relationships to force the mothers to care for the kids or otherwise avoid them.
Am I missing a possibility? The divorce rate going down sounds good initially, but if it’s going down because of a policy that affects the people after the divorce, that just sounds like people who should be getting divorced are staying together instead.
Capitalism has more steps between you and tyranny than the feudalism it replaced in most places, so it was an upgrade.
Much like feudalism, though, the lords deteriorated over time (inbreeding and deregulation respectively), so it’s well past time to upgrade again. Ridding ourselves of tyranny would be nice, but I have a feeling that state capitalism (as seen in the PRC, Vietnam, etc.) is a more likely replacement. It’s another incremental upgrade that will hopefully give us the time to relax and organize to push for yet another step.
The toilets are metaphorical…
Yeah, the concept is nice, but it tells me that the Big Bang doesn’t explain what happened before it (the leading hypothesis is that the Big Bang started time, so there is no “before”) and sources a Wikipedia article on spiders. Then, it cites the common myth about Daddy Longlegs being highly venomous, says that that wasn’t dispelled until 2020, and then cites a fucking BuzzFeed listicle.
If you had read the article, you’d realize that they were/are reserving tickets online, which requires neither mobility nor funds.
“Withstand” is a strong word. It charred a groove into the durian in a minute or so.
The economist in question comes off as a massive asshole (he started the whole thing by insulting a politician for being concerned about climate change), but fines for insulting politicians is batshit.
I think there’s a step in between that uses off-the-shelf laser pointers to temporarily disable the cameras.
