I’m having trouble with the colors. It tornado alley low rate or no data. TBH either of those would seem weird for the area.

This reminds me of the plot of a Futurama episode where Leonardo da Vinci goes back to his home planet where he is a renowned moron.

Blissfully unaware, thanks.

It’s Monday. Thanksgiving is all the way on Thursday. In my house these would clearly be snacking croutons. They’d never see the soup.

Automatically read it to the melody. Nicely done.

It's a reasonable technology choice for whenever you need to have a ledger that is shared between multiple parties. Blockchain gives you an immutable (un-editable) history of transactions, including who made it, what it was, and where/when it happened, and gives all of the parties who are allowed to edit the ledger a way to trust in the outcome, even if the parties don't trust each other.

Would be neat to see deaths or hospitalizations pre/post visualized this way too to really drive home the point for the “measles weren’t really that bad” crowd.

Ooh, I haven't tried the cannon thing yet… why did I never think of that?c

RIP, Steve. 😢

I just replayed Super Mario Galaxy for the first time in about 10 years and it felt every bit amazing as the first time. What an incredible game.

My kids and I also still occasionally play MarioKart Wii (even though we have it in the switch too) just to use the Wii wheels :)

Xeric Shrubland is definitely a LOTR character.

From comic to alt text to bonus panel this got better and better. Well done.

Closer to the equator means less fuel to orbit because the Earth spins fastest at the equator so you don't have to add as much delta-v.

The Alaska one I'd bet is for military ops or maybe polar satellite installations.

Right? Looks like a Countach with a body kit

The interesting thing about mutualism is that it isn't even a degrowth strategy, it's more like a de-escalation-of-capital-accumulation strategy. Economic growth for the mutual owner/operators still happens (otherwise it would never have taken off in the first place).

The amazing thing about this is that The Onion could literally repost most old Infowars headlines as-is since they were already usually the kind of absurd nonsense that hardworking Onion writers normally have to think up themselves.

Just wanted to drop a note and say I binged this and then Murder in the Tool Library in 2 days. What a nice little universe you've built! I had never even heard of smashwords before your mention, but I've made a couple of other purchases in the last few days and will certainly use it to try and build a big enough library to distract me for the next 4 or 5 years :)

Out of curiosity, do you have any recommendations for other solarpunk or similarly utopian indie fiction?

I'm specifically using Voyager on iOS and MacOS (and in Windows via BlueStacks) because I do exactly this. I block several whole instances (lemmygrad and hexbear), the active politics communities, and also specific keywords (elon, musk, trump, gop, republican, etc.), so I'm even able to browse All without my eyeballs being seared.

I moved to Florida specifically so that I could live at the beach. Go to Hawaii.

Dec/Jan is the Florida high season, so everything is crowded and accommodations will be pricey. If your vacation truly is in Jan though, Hawaii will actually be quiet (end of December is super crowded tho).

If you do go to Florida, look at Naples up to Tampa on the gulf coast, or key west. The people are much nicer than Floridians on the east coast

Oxfam International released in October that looked at 50 of the richest people in the world and their carbon footprint. In it, they found that these people release more carbon through private jets, yachts and investments in a year than the average person does in their entire life.

Fuck them.
