Oh yeah, they're hosed.

Not to minimize this but that comes to 6 per 100,000 crossings for the US border and 150 per 100,000 for the Berlin Wall.

Here's another sort of doom and I won't even talk about how the election matters (even though it very much does): https://x.com/janatausch/status/1798620656525000763 This past April was only slightly cooler than June was in the 1940s.

Oh look Bill Maher is continuing his lifelong career of being a smug disingenuous dickquote:the people who consider themselves the most liberal have abandoned Israel, which was always a liberal darling quote:the terrorist organization who outwardly say they want a genocide, who outwardly are on the one side who is against the two-state solution. Liberals are sure crazy, based on poo poo Bill Maher pulls out of his rear end in a top hat!

The Eyes Have It posted:If anyone wants to read more details about how horrible Stockton Rush was (it's even worse than originally thought) and what a boon and grace it is that he's been disintegrated and can do no more harm: https://www.wired.com/story/titan-submersible-disaster-inside-story-oceangate-files/ I hate the Wire website so I think I'm reading the same thing at https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/06/inside-the-titan-submersible-disaster/ And WTF quote:As I began to feel the chill seeping through the sub’s steel hull, Rush asked me to open my iPhone’s compass app. He wanted to compare it to the one on his phone. The headings did not match, but he rebooted the thrusters and we set off in what he was pretty sure was the right direction. quote:David Lochridge, who oversaw marine operations at the company and who needed to sign off on the transfer, became convinced that Titan was unsafe. In January 2018, Lochridge sent Rush a quality-control inspection report detailing 27 issues with the vehicle, from questionable O-ring seals on the domes and missing bolts to flammable materials and more concerns about its carbon-fiber hull. Rush fired him the next day.  quote:I have grown tired of industry players who try to use a safety argument to stop innovation and new entrants from entering their small existing market,” Rush wrote to McCallum. “Since [starting] OceanGate we have heard the baseless cries of ‘you are going to kill someone’ way too often.”

Thinking about expanding the berries, I just wish I had room for more trees. I put in black raspberries and tomatoes to start. Then they all died and I found out that my soil has verticilium wilt.

Discussion Quorum posted:Look into Dwarf Tomato Project varieties. They will happily grow in 5-10 gallon containers. I am growing Fred's Tie Dye, Dwarf Eagle Smiley, and Dwarf Mint Streak in 5 gallon containers and can strongly recommend the first two (DMS is productice but has kinda boring flavor and splits badly) How much do they produce? I enjoy BLTs and other summer fresh tomato foods, but the primary reason I want a significant tomato garden is to can tomatoes for use throughout the rest of the year. lightpole posted:My blueberries are right next to each other in wine barrels. One of them is struggling a bit but this is the 2nd year for the other one and I'm getting a 1/2 pint a week at least off it. What climate do you live in? They survive the winter okay?

Another reminder that the "culture war" is one-sided. Our side wants everyone to be included. Theirs wants specific groups excluded. Our side is fine with supporting 4H, FFA, veterans' groups, etc. Theirs wants only their group to have benefits. And this is why they love Trump.

Ask LBJ how well stepping away as the incumbent works for stopping a fascist Republican. Ask Ted Kennedy how well mounting an aggressive primary challenge to the supposedly vulnerable incumbent works for stopping a fascist Republican.

The Court had to revise its opinion demolishing Chevron because the guy who thinks courts should be in charge of interpreting environmental regulations doesn't know the difference between NO2 and N2O.
