A combination of factors. Lower funding, suburbanization, growing means for home entertainment, growing wages sending people to more expensive options, etc.

This is just what goes on in medicine science when things are operating properly. Test, collect data, run experiments, do it again, do it again, then, after the short term use has been proven safe 30 different times, by 100's of research groups, you start researching the long term affects of it.

If we know that the material can go 10k years without degradation, which is something we can know, then it can last that long. Will it be practically possible to store it in a way that will allow for the maximum amount of time before the material begins to degrade? That's a whole other thing.

platforms driven by user created content like the nazis, and other extreme right ideologues, because the audience for them consumes that content like religious zealots going to services, getting in their daily requirements of indoctrination. This inflates user engagement. However, the businesses advertising their services, and products, on those platforms do not like their company being associated with these people.

This is a new tactic the police are trying out. They have recognized that people recording them, and people releaseing police recordings via FOIA, are making them look bad and resulting a lot of public outcry and pressure. So what's the solution? Institute better transparency regulations and work on creating more accountability for bad actors? No, of course not.

Along with these invasion of privacy claims the police are also fielding charging people with organized crime for recording them on live stream and/or for a youtube channel. Claiming that recording their activities is actually a physical form of interference because "I had to physically leave the scene to address you". Claiming that showing up to more than one scene run by the same cops qualifies as stalking. Claiming that posting videos and pictures of them going about their duties is doxxing them. We will see more and more tenuous attempts to use the legal system against anyone who would expose their own actions. They want to find a wedge the court will allow them to use to arrest anyone who records them or releases information they gathered from FOIA. Many jurisdictions are also pushing a variety of bullshit in order to not comply to FOIA at all.

I mean, this is straight out of the Maccarthyist play book, so it would feel at home in mid last century.

That I apparently do not exist on steam

I, too, used to feel this way. However, now that I am old enough to put 20+ years between now and the time the pictures were taken, I do like being able to look back through those pictures. It is amazing how your memory distorts and loses details of the past, even of strong memories where you still know the important beats correctly. I wish I had more. I now try to get more when I am doing things. Though I will never be one of those people just going place to place to get a bad picture of it with me in frame.

One possibility is breadfruit. We, realistically, can't depend on one though. Even the most robust staple food will still have some sort of vulnerability so it will always be of benefits to have several.

Off the top of my head I can't remember everything. However, he worked with several PACs to get a budget increase to the local schools, he and several members of the town's staff retained money from several major corporations, like PNC, to fund a fairly diverse set of extra-curricular activities and clubs for the local school as well as cover the costs to the students for those activities. Braddock had pretty much no where for people under 21 to do anything so he worked with a number of groups to get a pretty decked out community center built that, beyond a place to hang out and play, offered martial arts, classes in visual arts, music lessons, after school tutoring, and, IIRC, Wiz Khalifa put in money to add a studio with classes on sound engineering, production, etc. He and his wife opened a free grocery store available to those without food. They laid the ground for a government run, non profit, grocery store to address the food desert situation as well as provide more affordable food. He worked with a number of local community leaders, from churches to business owners, to reach out to kids getting into trouble with police, give them part time jobs, teach trade work, etc.

He fought very hard to get a lot of infrastructure improvements as well. Roads, public buildings and facilities, etc. He also helped get funding for a free to user day care.

Meh, fifth day of back pain strong enough to limit movement. Pain management had me get a nerve block. I am now in over night observation at the hospital. I start PT tomorrow, hopefully this gets better in a few days of therapy.

huh, back when I was young, and people would still, occasionally, pester me into going to strip joints with them, we mostly just binge drank, did drugs, and occasionally got some dancers to facilitate more private services.

The people who seemed like they were actually, really, paying attention to the dancers were, well, even more creepy than your average strip club attendee.
