[14:34] Rodent activity among reasons for FSAI closure orders

Rodent activity, mouse carcasses found in a warehouse and raw chicken stored in used chip boxes were among the reasons for six closure orders issued to food businesses last month.

From TB to HIV/AIDS to cancer, disease tracking has always had a political dimension.

As federal datasets disappear from view, scholars explain why it is important to collect and maintain this information:

Occasionally I will get a spammy message from someone on here, and I always report the account and block them immediately. What's amazing is how quickly these accounts are reported already by others and taken out to the woodshed. Thanks to everyone involved in stopping abuse. It's fairly remarkable how ferocious this community is in showing spammers the door.

It's the "revenue model" and human moderators to users ratio that does it. I'm sure Meta's platforms get a similar response from users, and then four days later an algorithm makes the wrong decision and let's it continue because it bumps ad metrics.


#AbrahamLincoln had a puzzling relationship to #religion. For several years I had the privilege of researching the role of religion in his life for the Lincoln Home National Historic Site in #Springfield, #Illinois. In 2021, my research focused on religion in the early decades of Springfield’s history through the period of Lincoln’s residency there, which had a formative impact on Lincoln’s own religious faith.

So #KDE has this thing where if you violently shake the mouse cursor (to e.g. find it) it will grow in size to make it easier to locate. It'll grow 2-3 times before reaching a maximum size.

I propose KDE makes it so the cursor just... Keeps growing as long as you shake it, until it covers the whole screen. And then just keep growing. To whatever max size Wayland allows.

Huge win. Huge. Canadian Court upholds government restricting crypto bullshit use of electricity

"B.C. wins case for power use limits by cryptocurrency miners"

(Its not "mining" its wanking, nothing produced, nothing mined)

"The decision upheld an earlier court ruling against Conifex Timber Ltd., a forestry company located in Prince George .... The company was seeking unrestricted access to B.C. electricity."

I urge going further.

There is nothing produced in crypto, no farms selling eggs, making a small profit, no furniture makers making cool chairs for a choosy market.

There are no eggs in crypto, no chairs, no electric planes built, not a single candy, no fertilizer, just counterfeit money.

REQUIRE crypto build its own renewable green energy source for 120% of their wanking needs, ALWAYS more than they use.

And data centres too.

No crypto use of utility power.
Counterfeit

Russland lässt sich von Waffenruhe-Vorstoß nicht aus der Reserve locken

A friend of mine posted this on another platform.

I couldn't agree more.

Thing is, we're still brothers and sisters 30 years later.



Tough decision for Dem Senators.

Vote down the budget bill and shut down the government OR fold and vote to allow the MAGAts to dismantle it anyway, which they are going to do regardless of any budget passed.

If you're got a lose/lose hand at least stand up and own the fight.

in reply to Warner Crocker

Try a different framing, even though I realize the legacy media will fail.

The Republicans will be shutting down the government. The Republicans are doing this. They are extremists using the budget to harm the American people and national security. Democrats should not collaborate. President Musk is shutting things down and disabling agencies while Trump is placing entirely corrupt individuals in charge of them. The framing needs to be on what the Republicans are doing, and not of Democrats who will not collaborate with causing damage.



I've heard the word Tariffs more times in the past 3 weeks than I have in 40yrs. And Canadian History is a mandatory credit in high school here.

I shouldn't be shocked, but I still am. We're living through this point in history right after surviving a global pandemic.

[14:08] Zijn we klaar met Facebook? Dit is waarom Hyves nooit had mogen verdwijnen

Zijn er alternatieven om het monopolie van de big tech te breken? Met het daverende succes van Hyves hadden we ooit goud in handen. Van eigen bodem. Totdat Facebook ook in Nederland voet aan de grond kreeg en ons paradepaardje verzwolg. Met dansende banaan en al. Negen redenen waarom dat nooit had mogen gebeuren.

There was a time, when I was an apprentice in the air force, that I could honestly name a hundred people who were friends.

Right now, I couldn't name ten.

Which makes me look at the 32, wait, 33 people, who subscribe to my writing newsletter, and feel like this is *cozy*

Then I wonder, at start point will I feel like my newsletter is a commodity, rather than friends?

@alan
ah .. but there is always that *maybe* that some really big influencer will notice your work, and suddenly there you are, with a 100k readers 😀

I mean, stranger things have happened, and some of those people with the million sales are neither good writers not nice people. So why not you, eh? 😀

in reply to Humphrey Archer

I submit that if [famous person] says "this is the bestest book ever", I'll get a bump in sales and a pile of followers over on Bluesky (where I plan to broadcast, not converse), but still the people who take the next step and come here or sign up for my newsletter are the ones who are looking for more of a connection.

Does anyone know a good supplier of ant farms might be? My kid is suddenly super interested in ants and I want to strike while the iron is hot.

(I would like to point out I have no idea what I’m doing.)

in reply to rk: could be an enum

If you are handy you can make your own with your kid, it’s really not that hard and there are lots of tutorials. It can be as cheap as you want and you’d spend time with your child creating everything.

On youtube there are channels like D colony or Texants that are very interesting for the #DIY route.

To get the queen you can check which species are in your area and catch some (I recommend more than one since sometimes they don’t make it or they are not fertilized) once the flights start. You can also ask local people for a starter colony since many times people have some from last year already with brood.

Good luck!

Mir ist es unbegreiflich, wie wir diese permanenten Unfälle als "normal" erachten können und daraus keine Handlungsnotwendigkeit ableiten.

Rentner die offenbar blind ohne suizidale Absicht Autobahnen in der falschen Richtung befahren, Lkws die Straßenbahnen "übersehen", Liste beliebig erweiterbar.

Ich bin nicht bereit, das als "normal" zu akzeptieren.

Wir brauchen endlich vernünftige Gesetze und regelmäßige Führerscheinprüfungen. Und an Bahnübergängen an Landstraßen womöglich auch die ein oder andere Schranke.
