  • I know the stock market lives in a different dimension but it will be unreal again to see today how the markets shrug off this train wreck.

  • Fuck. I have no words.

  • "You see," my colleague went on, "one doesn’t see exactly where or how to move. Believe me, this is true. Each act, each occasion, is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next. You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join with you in resisting somehow. You don’t want to act, or even talk, alone; you don’t want to ‘go out of your way to make trouble.’ Why not?—Well, you are not in the habit of doing it. And it is not just fear, fear of standing alone, that restrains you; it is also genuine uncertainty.

  • Google bribes iNaturalist to use generative AI — volunteers quit in outrage

    Jump

  • Plants, depending on the year, are really hard to identify even with a trained eye. If an AI algorithm is training on, say, only the blooming season versions of a plant, then it will do a poor job of identifying the plant in the Fall. Same for human submissions, usually they are photographed when they are in bloom.

    I teach an environmental science course and we have a lab where I have students use iNaturalist for plant identification but the Fall semester students are always at a disadvantage, we have to crack open the dying plants for identification.

  • I love it, there’s always a plausible in-universe explanation for anything if a trekkie thinks hard enough.

  • Majority of US companies say they have to raise prices due to Trump tariffs

  • Yea wtf sorry this happened to you mate, and fuck you mod

  • Which TV show do you watch again and again?

    Jump

  • I love Wilfred (the FX version), I watch it at the start of every summer.

  • Which TV show do you watch again and again?

    Jump

  • What…doth… life?

    Wow haven’t thought about that show in a decade, time for a rewatch!

  • What popular TV show did not do it for you and you quit watching?

    Jump

  • Sorry to hear you didn’t like it! As a sci-fi and alt history nerd I’ve rewatched it a couple times with delight. Since you didn’t get past episode 2 I can’t speak to how much (or little) character development there was. That said, my favorite characters definitely grow on me, season 1 to end of season 3 takes place over 40 years so there’s a lot of passage of time for characters to mature.

  • Trump may soon offer a motherhood medal, an idea popularized in Nazi Germany

    Jump

  • This is the more accurate comparison. Yes, Trump’s government is like nazi Germany in many respects but the pronatalist movement is straight out the Putin playbook.

  • I think the non-official canon is Bikini Bottom is near Bikini Atoll, the site of nuclear weapons testing in the Pacific Ocean. Radiation created anthropomorphic sea creatures like SpongeBob. I like your idea of Mermaid man/ Barnacle action figures… maybe irradiated ones at that.

  • xkcd #3078: Anchor Bolts

    Jump

  • I took an atmospheric science class in college and the professor described the field as “fast geology”, I like your description though that geology is the study of slow fluids!

  • Damn good leaf

  • A rug really would tie that room together

  • Donald Trump explains his 90-day tariff pause: People were getting "yippy"

    Jump

  • Biggest stock surge since October 2008 too, reeks of market shorting. Wish I was rich and morally bankrupt enough to profit off this.

  • What's your favorite movie soundtrack?

    Jump

  • I just watched Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure yesterday and though the soundtrack is not original, the soundtrack made the movie.

  • Please don't skip me

  • In these trying times I am still chuckling hours after seeing this, thanks for the meme.

  • I help convince toddler to take a bath after two months of 'No'

    Jump

  • Aww this is so sweet! Being the favorite uncle is quite the honorific. I have a 2 year old of my own and with daily parenting I try to be conscious whenever we have family and friends over that a baby is a bit foreign to them and they don’t know always know how to interact with him/ react to him.

    Best advice is let the little one lead the way with things and encourage them always with what they are doing (as long as it isn’t dangerous!).

  • Moon is not as 'geologically dead' as previously thought, new study reveals

    Jump

  • What an exciting study. The TL;DR:

    GEOlogy is the study of the earth and how it changes over time. At a high level the Earth is sustained by the geodynamo - electromagnetic fluid movement in the core and mantle that sustains mantle convection and plate tectonics. The Moon doesn’t have any of that, so geological processes on the Moon is of intense study. In this paper they found pretty good evidence of contractional tectonics - the surface wrinkling from the Moon shrinking and changes in orbit - effecting all sides of the Moon in the form of scarps which induce moonquakes. This has implications for mapping the surface for future exploratory missions and long-term habitation (don’t want to have a colony in a seismically unstable place).

    Tennessee House member proposes amending the 22nd amendment to allow Trump to serve a 3rd term

  • World's largest pumped storage power plant fully operational in China

    Jump

  • Meanwhile the US only increased capacity in pumped hydroelectric by 2.1 Gw between 2010-2022 for a whopping 22 Gw total capacity. Hydroelectric generally hovers about 28% of total renewable energy electricity generation.

    The biggest problem (in the US) has been a lack of investment in new pumped hydroelectric projects not connected to improving existing dam infrastructure. Permitting huge new projects is unattractive but smaller ones in geographically/geologically favorable places like with most of the new sites being planned in California and Arizona will grow in the next 10 years.
