I'm very very hesitant to believe in most online reviews; the product manufactures pay for a lot of them.

Just get it tested for chronic wasting disease if that's a thing in the area you live. Cooking probably can't kill that, as it's a prion disease.

Don't try to be Kennedy.

I don't see how that gets through Congress, whereas something more like this (but with much larger amounts of capital injection) has a better chance.

The climate movement has been led by people who look and think and talk the same for a very long time. If time is short, isn't this precisely the time to try everything? To broaden out, seek fresh ideas, build a larger, stronger and more connected movement?

More that that the conspiracy theory crowd is lying to them that the meteorologists are controlling the weather.

What people actually have are vests filled with ice. Knew a couple of people who were canvassing in the Arizona heat wearing them.

The vice president released a plan to help Black men financially, held interviews with two Black media outlets and put out targeted ads in battleground states.

...

Ms. Harris’s plan calls for providing one million loans that would forgive up to $20,000 for Black entrepreneurs and people of other races to start a business, in an effort to close the capital gap that Black people often face.

The plan calls for expanding access to affordable banking options that will allow Black men and others to tap into more capital that they often cannot access because of high fees and other barriers. The plan also promises to devise a regulatory framework for protecting cryptocurrency assets, which more than 20 percent of Black Americans own or have owned.

All but the last last bit sounds good.

We’ve only had 1.3C of global average warming, but it’s enough to popularize the entire category of personal cooling devices. So when people say, “You won’t even notice 1C of global warming,” the market tells us that that’s absolute bullshit.

That's an inherent problem in any capitalist economy; competitive pressures mean that the owners are always trying to push down wages as much as possible. Without unionization (and few of the clean energy companies are unionized) there's very little to resist it.

There are a fair number which won't; "mobile" homes are not designed to the same durability standard that a permanent home is. That's reasonable for an RV that actually needs to move from location to location, but means you're taking significant added risk for one which sits forever in one place.

The problem here isn't that models are wrong or inadequate, but that FEMA, for political reasons, has based its maps and risk estimates on historical averages, and those don't adequately capture the change we've had, or relatively low-probability events.

[-] silence7@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 day ago

Sure you can. It's a matter of using modeling to estimate its probability and then planning around it. Californians have done a planning exercise around a storm somewhat worse than the 1860-1861 storm sequence for exactly this kind of reason.

Potentially well above. School shooters kill a few dozen at most. If the far right goes ahead with their violent fantasies, the death toll could be a million plus

For sure, but it could be slightly less dire if a lot of states were able to somehow implement climate policy despite a Trump administration effort to maximize fossil fuel extraction and consumption.

The military doesn't have the same latitude to criticize the President like this that the rest of us do. He can't legally say stuff like this until after retirement
