It was triggered today… and has had only two false positives since 1959.

What most people don’t know is that the economist who coined the term, Claudia Sahm, proposed this rule as a way to warn governments to allow them to preemptively send out stimulus to their population lol.

The Sahm rule originates from a chapter in the Brookings Institution's report on the use of fiscal policy to stabilize the economy during recessions.

(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahm_Rule#cite_note-2)The chapter, written by Sahm, proposes fiscal policy to automatically send stabilizing payments to citizens to boost economic well-being. Instead of relying on human intuition to determine when such payments should be sent, Sahm outlines a condition to trigger the payments.

(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahm_Rule#cite_note-:1-3) The trigger suggested indicates an economy beginning a recession and is now known as the Sahm rule. The Sahm rule recession indicator was also featured early in a Goldman Sachs U.S. economic research report by economist William C. Dudley with a recommended trigger of 0.33%

(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahm_Rule#cite_note-4) (the nowadays more commonly used rule triggers a recession signal when the Sahm metric is crossing above 0.5%).

I thought this was satire…but nope, lol.

There really are people just as insufferable as you.

Sorry but this is just such a weak ass article which you can only assume was ai generated and reviewed by someone who was either too lazy or stupid to care.

Nothing new, useful or interesting. We are all very much aware of the major issues at hand and it really sucks, but to basically write an article that can be summed up in a single sentence: “Lake habitats are different than oceans or rivers because species cannot go anywhere else”.

Just lazy all around.

Also this:

Steps to reduce lake warming

Tackling lake warming requires both individual and collective action. Here are some steps to mitigate this issue: 

  • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by using energy-efficient appliances and renewable energy.
  • Support afforestation and reforestation projects, as trees absorb CO2. Implement green infrastructure like green roofs and urban forests to lower temperatures.
  • Enhance water conservation efforts by fixing leaks and using water-saving fixtures. Advocate for clean energy policies and international agreements like the Paris Agreement. Increase public awareness through community programs and education.
  • Support research and monitoring of lake temperatures. Protect wetlands and riparian zones to absorb heat and pollutants.

2024 Gulf Coast Spin the Bottle is off to a spicy start.

Remember, this is because god hates you and nothing to do with climate change. If we can just do away with NOAA, we wouldn’t have Hurricanes anymore.

Honestly, looking at the ordinances being used lately…even smaller ones that are more than enough to hit the driver of this Chinese golf cart.

This cope cage would be effective if it wasn’t the only layer of defense. 2-3 strategically placed drones would immobilize most meat bags hiding in it. This on top of an armored vehicle would make more sense.

This was a half ass video. Go to Wikipedia and read if you want to see this disaster in it’s entirety.

[-] PagPag@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Oh I gotcha.

Well, thanks man.

I prefer your streamable links. Not signing into YouTube to watch a video, and piped video is not working.

If you want to do it efficiently, a camera isn’t the best way to go because it requires manually turning the pages. It’s cheap but labor intensive.

Scanners are so cheap now that any decent one can be had for $120-200. But if you want to take this a step further, buy a second hand printer-scanner combo. Doesn’t matter if the printer is broken because you don’t need it. Just make sure it has batch scanning abilities.

Get a cheap paper slicer /guillotine and rip the magazines into uniform stacks. Load into the tray and start scanning.

The thing you’ll likely run into is the tray not having the capacity required to scan all sheets in one go. Therefore, you’ll need to scan part files and combine them on the back end. You likely need paid software for this, but there is probably open source options. Either way, fly the black flag lol…

I did this after purchasing $800 worth of mechanical PE prep materials and wanted the flexibility and future proofing of my purchase. This proved a worth while endeavor after a flood took my hard copies. YMMV

That’s awesome man. Yeah, there’s definitely a sense of pride keeping old stuff alive.

I always admire a well kept older car. Doesn’t matter if it’s a econobox from the 80s or whatever. I just enjoy it…probably more than seeing a hypercar. Yeah, they are cool and are an amazing feat of modern engineering, but the only thing required to attain it is money. The guy driving a pristine Honda accord from 1985 put in the work to have that!
