Lucky the cars were helping slow things. That's a hero, jumping in to make the difference. I'm guessing they're probably familiar with large trucks so they knew what had to be done.

I find it difficult to understand what today's Republican party would offer to a black person. (Or any really, but specifically black)

Netscape was never lesser or evil.

Brings back memories of that one Lost episode with the unstable dynamite.

Also an episode of Grey's Anatomy.

That doesn't seem to be a reclaiming of a word (since it wasn't previously used in a good way), but a reuse of a historically insulting term. I can respect the effort, but I still cringe when hearing it used as an amiable word. I don't know if that makes me racist because I have trouble moving past it being a slur and distasteful. Maybe it's still too new and it's going to take a few generations to become more normalized.

You might be thinking of the Fairness Doctrine, which has to do with the subject matter and not profits.

They analyzed how it would affect their numbers and determined it would turn off too many MAGA viewers and not attract enough other viewers to make up the difference. News for profit was always a bad idea.

A reminder that this is still how they think.

Here's a fact check OF a fact check about Project 2025, something that has been stated recently will gut the National Hurricane Center.

USA Today's fact check of that claim

Now when I first ran across this link, I thought, hmmm...are liberal Youtubers making up stuff to sell their position as a hurricane approaches? Maybe so. Then I read the article and actual text from Project 2025.

Project 2025 "does not call for the elimination of" the National Hurricane Center, Heritage Foundation spokesperson Ellen Keenan told USA TODAY.

Not in the text, this part of the fact check is correct. The text calls for review of it as well as other agencies and downsize or move resources around as needed. But then I see:

Data collected by the department should be presented neutrally, without adjustments intended to support any one side in the climate debate.

Well, that set off some alarm bells in my head. They aren't actively proposing to shut it down, but there does seem to be an agenda here.

Project 2025 accuses NOAA of "climate alarmism" and calls for it to be "broken up and downsized.” "That is not to say NOAA is useless, but its current organization corrupts its useful functions," the playbook says of the agency.

I read all this as exactly how MAGA Republicans in power have been treating anything tied to climate change. They aren't completely cutting things out, only the parts that are inconvenient to their agenda. Which of course is terrible science, and will absolutely affect the ability to learn and respond to future threats.

USA Today is a tool for them if they are marking such claims as completely false.

Easy fix - "Are there any dead leaves to protect our eggs?"

So the comic is a lie to give us feelings.

But mulching leaves is so much better than raking and removal. All those nutrients, gone.

I have an older robot vacuum that has finally shown some age in its battery. The charger will charge for about 15 mins and then gets an error, but it's enough to do a decent vacuuming of the room if I charge then vacuum, then repeat once more. I can't leave it on the charger now due to the error repeating, so basically I run it dead until the next time.

So my question is, can I continue doing this since it works well enough, or is there potential problems/danger with the battery being at less capacity? I could buy a new battery, they aren't terrible in price, but if it works and is safe, why not continue what I'm doing until it completely gives out?
