@freemo @AlexanderVI I too am extremely cool with being hit by lightning

@freemo @AlexanderVI I call bullshit on that, the lightning mortality rate is calculated on the whole population, whereas you should take the population in schools (students and teachers/staff) to calculate it. Let’s say 10% of the USA pop is in school on average to make the maths easy: that would give a person in school 10x the chance of being shot vs being hit by lightning. And as others have noted, it easily preventable, as every other country on the planet demonstrates.

@Infoseepage @grumpydad @appassionato @palestine I live in London, my kids’ school was evacuated a few years ago because workers digging a hole found an unexploded bomb from ww2. And I remember seeing a documentary from a wood company in northern France that x rays every tree they cut into boards to spot shrapnel and guns embedded in them.

@jwz @spacehobo @TheBreadmonkey LOL

@skinnylatte @kissane @luis_in_brief living in UK here, and it blows my mind you get your vaccines from *Costco*

@cstross @pluralistic @CaffeinatedBookDragon @utopiarte @Oggie @tierranietos this is why I’m in favour of bollards: they work 24/7 even when the network is down, don’t spy on anyone, 0 power requirements, and mete out instant justice to offenders.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I am agreeing with you?

@AnarchoNinaWrites I think they’re right for a change, like they were in 1938 and 1939 dedicating their cover to Hitler and Stalin, respectively.

This is a fantastic thread that clearly explains why generative AI is still being pushed so hard despite its downsides

@Limnobotanik @futurebird as someone who attends scientific conferences regularly I can assure you that scientists will mispronounce at least one technical word in each presentation they give, and the incidence goes up whenever there’s Greek/Latin

@goatsarah LOL you might as well tell us those dimensions in peppercorns

@mekkaokereke “starter packs are easy, and easy is how we got Sunday mornings”
Am I doing this right?

@cstross @ianb very good, let’s keep this quiet so the headbangers don’t notice

@glynmoody Microsoft is now limber and cool? Says who?

@aral @noybeu but that’s something that could lead to a big EU fine if they pick it up

@christineburns @ChrisMayLA6 the only chance Europe has now is if they can leapfrog Li ion to salt batteries, but we’re lagging there as well.

Today in “that’s not ethnic cleansing actually, it’s sparking human rights offences” news

Palestinians will not be allowed to return to homes in northern Gaza, says IDF https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/06/palestinians-will-not-be-allowed-to-return-to-homes-in-northern-gaza-says-idf

@aral and it’s not like the “west” doesn’t do that either. A few months ago it was revealed the CIA was behind an anti Chinese vaccine campaign in Asia.

@futurebird @amsomniac I live in London, UK. Roughly every 15 minutes an electric bus that can carry up to 60-ish people (not a double decker) drives past my house. It’s made by a Chinese company. It would blow Musk’s mind away.
