#Florida is waking up on this morning to #Milton approaching. The #HAM operators are becoming very active on the SARnet. Listen in:

Unironically, yet ironically true at the same time.

Virtue signalling is a thing.
Literally.

I must admit that this particular critique of systemd never really impinged on my awareness. I've always associated the systemd blob with Leonard Poettering and not some huge corporate entity.

This is madmess. Hurricane Milton has a measured atmospheric pressure of 857 millibars at it's centre. That's 140 mb lower than regular air pressure. The everyday variations we're used to is +/- 30 mb.
I've *never* heard of a storm pressure that low.

This reminds me that many years ago in the early days of the internet, i read an instruction about how to scrape the insides of banana peels and dry the scrapings in such a way that you produced an intense euphoric substance.
The point of this is that bananas must contain euphoric substances, which may explain the existence of this banana commercial.

I agree.

I would hope so.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of money to be made from tracking people. I expect that the Tracking Capitalists will try to sabotage our attempts at retaining our privacy.
They did vote in January 2006, where Hamas became the largest party in the Palestinian territories. They formed a coalition government with Fatah which collapsed the year later, whereafter they hunted down and killed all Fatah representatives in Gaza.
Is LSD necessary to understand these? That's pretty wild memery.
Or maybe it's just AI.

It's hard to come to terms with that the US federal administration is run by self-serving crooks.

The plastics industry has been telling people and politicians for years that "plastic can be recycled", and we trusted them, so we kept up using plastic for every damn thing in society, from food and candy wrappings, to shopping bags.
In the mean time, many tens of thousands of faithful recycling people have dutifully been operating plastics collection and reclamation initiatives all over the planet for years, accumulating huge stores of packed wrapping and crushed bottles; megatonnes of disposed, soiled plastic has ended up in storage, waiting to get recycled.
There's just a bit of a problem.
The plastic industry lied to us all. "Plastic" is a concept that covers so many different kinds of plasticS that are chemically different from each other, and cannot currently realistically be mixed together if you were to try to reclaim the constituent materials.
We probably won't have the technology to micro-sort plastics and plastic tearings and fragments effectively for at least a decade. Same goes for chemical processes that can handle contamination of one plastic recycling feedstock with traces from other kinds of plastic. (I could be wrong here but I haven't heard of any such chemical process.)
They did find a fungi at the bottom of a German lake recently that seems to eat away at pladtics when there's no other food sources available, but it's unknown if that can be used to break down plastic waste any time soon.
So, unless we are to keep storing currently un-recyclavle plastics for some more decades in the hope that the technology to recycle it arises and is brought online quickly, we have only one thing to do with the pile of plastic that's the size of half of Manhattan:
Shred it; granulate it and mix it into particulate coal-feed power plants fuel to burn it together with the coal. Only in the coal plants are temperatures in the combustion chamber high enough to destroy (oxygenate) the chlorinated and flouridated compounds that would otherwise crate nasty, noxious fumes. It'll probably still need additional smoke-flue treatment though.
So what can we learn from this?
Large industries and industrial special interests organisations are lying to us often, and they'll keep up their lies for decades without vatting an eye, to assure their own livelyhood, no matter the cost to the rest of society.
So, if you, like me, have dutifully been sorting your household waste by category, and properly disposing of it for years on end, then the plastics industry has taken you for a gullible fool.

More correctly and less pessimistically:
Life *contains* suffering. It also contains a lot more than just suffering.

Good thing about stress:
* You lose weight.
Bad things about stress:
* You lose sleep
* Even if you manage to sleep you lose energy to do stuff
* You lose part of your ability to focus
* You lose your sex drive
* You lose part of your affection for others
* You lose enjoyment from things you usually enjoy
* You lose your calm, and get restless and anxious more often
* Your cardio-vascular and endocrine health suffers
And more...
Respect that stress is a major negative influence on your bodily and mental #health ! Avoid stress if at all possible! Talk to friends and family about it, even if you don't feel like taking about it.

I myself had a very stressful episode about ten years ago, where I for about half a year lost at least 10-15 kilos of weight and discovered a year later that my hair had visibly greyed. That came as a shock.
The income tax should be abolished for all wage income, and the tax base should be redistributed to a VAT and a LVT, with an emphasis on the LVT.
The income tax is positively the most privacy harming tax there is, because it potentially puts *all* of your activity as a human under scrutiny of the revenue authorities, even your activities in the household and bedroom.

They're currently trying that in California and the result is letting violent hoodlums and murderers walk free to commit new brutalities. The "prison abolition movement" will become very scarce when it dawns on America what human costs it has had.
