Streets full of destroyed and abandoned cars after flooding in and around Valencia, an estimated 137,000 cars.
The costs resulting from this one rain shower are approximately thirty billion euros.
€30,000,000,000.

But taking measures to combat the #climatecrisis is still considered too expensive. https://mastodon.green/@gevoel/113500230706030946

“Andrew Tate OBLITERATED by a TRUE alpha male”

// Only weak men need physical dominance to define their masculinity. Tate is one of the least attractive men alive. In a world that advertises Tate, be an Anthony.

@Gargron I love your photos. Thanks for sharing them. Such a great sense of place and time, mood and color.

I also like your page solution. It seems very practical for various screen layouts. Did you build a UI for authoring too?

I’ve been having a similar problem. I also need an easy way to display text captions accessibly, per photo.

@nixCraft @blogdiva Walk in with printed email messages for all your conversations with the company so far.

After a positive test, you have to have a PCR Test negative to return to work. The White House admitted quietly on CSPAN that the protections were still in place in July of 2023 when an Israeli delegation was not admitted after testing positive for COVID, after claiming with much fanfare the prior April that the pandemic was over and that it was safe to return to work….” (3/4)

“the White House has maintained the very strictest abatements to protect people who live and work there from the virus: In order to enter the White House, they have to have had no symptoms for 14 days, the latest booster vaccinations up-to-date, and a negative rapid test. They have nine or better fresh air exchanges per hour and all filters are upgraded to MERV 13. They have also installed 220 nanometer Germicidal UV lamps. (2/4)

"People don’t have a clear understanding of how you can still contract the virus. In their defense, no one has told them plainly that just walking into a room where someone with COVID was 40 minutes ago could get you infected.”

It’s okay to work for a big tech company, they said, we can change it from the inside. https://wapo.st/3WdPCIG

@arstechnica “In water sampling, Acanthamoeba and other biofilm-associated amebae have been detected in over 50 percent of US tap water samples.”

Unsafe: tap water in neti pots, as eyewash, as contact cleaner, and CPAP or other respiratory devices. Instead, use ‘…boiled, sterile, or distilled water.

"If tap water is used, it should be boiled for a minimum of 1 minute, or 3 minutes in elevations >1,980 meters, and cooled before use”.’

“A new study of almost 1.2 million people in Hong Kong demonstrates the protective effect of COVID-19 vaccination against long COVID, and suggests that the more doses people have had the less likely they experience long-term symptoms related to the virus.” The study was published Feb 26 2024 in Nature.

@carnage4life @Gargron A virtual performance means money for nothing and chicks for free.

Uhh…I mean the band can profit from past performances while servicing fans.

The fans are used to watching lip-synced concerts on screens anyway, so it’s an increment of abstraction that may make little difference, unless you’re seated in orchestra, the performer is dead, 30-ft tall, or a conversant AI.

It will metamorph, like TV stopped being a stageplay, taking advantage of the new mediums.

@Gargron I can’t tell if it’s better or not, but I found one person I was not following that I wanted to follow.

@Gargron I hope you'll take good care of yourself and get more rest over the holiday season. Anyone would feel overwhelmed after doing what you did this year in order to scale up. Thank you for everything.

I hope you'll find ways to delegate the overload so you can have a more peaceful 2024.

@Gargron Those are amazing. Kudos to your wife! what a cool artform.

Fetal alcohol syndrome can likely be caused by men drinking heavily before conception.

@aral The two browsers I’ve been watching:

Orion (WebKit) is open sourcing soon. So far only a Mac version though. https://blog.kagi.com/orion-features

Arc (Chromium) is Mac today, Windows soon, and seems like it’s made by good folks. https://arc.net/

How long do we have before LLM search engines use query data to write articles on those topics?
