Yay! my local council has DDOS'd it's self by sending out the email saying they will cancel your Council Tax discounts unless you re-certify.

Nice work Stroud...

Plans for solar farms pose devastating threat to unique Welsh wetlands https://nation.cymru/news/plans-for-solar-farms-pose-devastating-threat-to-unique-welsh-wetlands/

If you're feeling bad about procrastinating today, take solace that it took me five years to call out a tree surgeon to look at my apple tree. Five years and I literally didn't have to do anything but answer the door.

Na fali obecnej kontrowersji z "dziesionami" wypłynął jeszcze jeden rażący problem.
*drum roll*
POPRAWNOŚĆ POLITYCZNA! która według niektórych użytkowników jest w tym wypadku "skrajnością z lewej strony" i "przesadą" a także ograniczeniem wolności słowa.

Pragnę więc przypomnieć, że granica dobrego smaku została przekroczona już dawno i nie powinno się tutaj mówić o tej "lewackiej poprawności politycznej" a zwyczajnym reagowaniu na mowę nienawiści.
Użytkownik @krzyzakov@101010.pl;

- porównał imigrantów do najeźdźców
- trzymał się mocno przy tym, że są naturalnie głupsi od europejczyka (brzmi znajomo? powinno)
- że nie chcą pracować i się uczyć, a nawet jakby chcieli to i tak nie osiągną wyników - bo są głupsi
- implikował, że dorobkiem kulturowym Afrykańczyków są gwałty, morderstwa, kradzieże i budowanie chat z gówna i my tego tutaj NIE CHCEMY.

Mieliśmy do czynienia z dehumanizującą retoryką. Dlatego apeluję, by wojownicy o "wolność słowa" przestali mówić, że "poprawność polityczna" nakłada na nich twardą cenzurę. Nie. Mamy tu do czynienia z ostrym rasizmem i ludzie po prostu zareagowali.
I jeśli boicie się, że dosięgnie Was taka sama kontrowersja to oh well, może po prostu powinniście przemyśleć swoje opinie i nie gnoić ludzi których w życiu nie widzieliście na oczy.

In climate scenarios, a lot comes down to governance. Better leaders and institutions mean countries are more likely to plan ahead, maintain infrastructure, and respond to crises. Libya is ranked 126 of 185 countries on the ND-Gain Index, which calculates resilience to climate change. https://open.substack.com/pub/continent/p/there-will-be-many-many-more-dernas?r=14kg56&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post

Due to global warming, Vivaldi's Four Seasons have been reworked so that the Summer movement is 30% longer and played fortissimo, winter is 10% shorter and played pianissimo, with some random bars played sforzando, to account for the slowing of the North Atlantic Current, and both Spring and Autumn are now played very quickly and with abrupt changes in key, indicating their chaotic nature.

Whatever it takes to get people to understand.

Why are reporters still calling Uber a "ride sharing service"?

Surely buses and trains are more sharing than the typical Uber or Lyft ride?

Harvest festival in Šalčininkai. Very busy this year, due to a concert with Eurovision starlets.

Even the US embassy had a stand for some reason. We scored a snickers bar there for having some quiz knowledge about thanksgiving traditions ;-)

Bought some honey, too. Prices have collapsed this year due to overproduction, we've seen as low as €2.70 per kg, although bought this one at a supportive €5. Good time to stock up!

Yup. For-profit healthcare is immoral.

I tolerated two years of the for-profit management, after my not-for-profit hospital was sold to them. I had worked there over a quarter of a century, and watching them shred and destroy all our pro-community efforts over those two years was intolerable.

They kept saying, "shareholder value", as though that had anything at all to do with the healthcare mission.

Healthcare has no business having 'shareholders'.

I'm starting my slow, cautious, move from Windows to Ubuntu.

First, a laptop I hardly use.

Documenting issues, before I start on my older desktop.

Issue # 1: Do not let cat play with flashing light on installation thumb drive, during installation.

While we’re rightly excoriating the new confirmation of the Vatican’s willing participation in the nazi genocides, don’t forget the US knew about it in the 30s and also did exactly fuck all to stop it.

Given your current salary/wage, which would you prefer:

1. 𝟰-𝗱𝗮𝘆 '𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱" 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀, with 32-hour weeks and the same workload you have now.

2. 𝟴-𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝟱 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 (sabbatical must be taken in 8-consecutive weeks — in addition to your usual PTO — to do whatever you want, but ideally with some goal related to personal or prof'l development).

[Boosts greatly appreciated! I don't have a lot of followers but would love to get at least 100 votes.]

My wife is a nurse, one of the few to still mask constantly, and has this to say about her denial colleagues getting constant #Covid19 infections

'No one has returned to work after their 5th bought of Covid - not one, they are either disabled or looking for different work'

keming: (n) what happens to words when your font has poor kerning

entirely this. anyone who works with this tech on a daily basis knows it's pure hype and that this tech has zero hope of replacing most workers let alone humanity writ large. it's all talk intended to drive investment in "the next big thing" that web3 just was. https://social.treehouse.systems/@AnarchoNinaAnalyzes/111081194382126713
