the only nuwho worth watching are Eccleston and Tennant's series. No shade to Jodie Whitaker, Peter Capaldi, or Ncuti (i cannot same the same for Matt Smith unfortunately because he and his annoying ass companions are what killed my interest in the show back in 2011)

Also some shade to Tennant for coming back as 14, great way to ruin 10's "i don't wanna go". like you didn't go bro you came back 10 years later for some inexplicable reason, idk my dad is a hardcore fan and has been since the original series but even he was like "yeah its not good" when the 14th doctor's specials were airing. Anyways I am eagerly awaiting his reaction to whatever 16 is gonna be (Billie Piper lol)

I mean...did you expect him to shoot his candidacy in both feet by saying on national TV something like "the epic hanggliding event of October 7th"???

If he becomes mayor, nothing will change.

waow i didn't know the mayor of NYC gets the ability to stop any international conflict they want as soon as they are elected. Eric Adams could've stopped Israel from bombing hospitals years ago but he was too busy getting flights to Turkey!!

Yes - wet bulb temperature is a measurement; but when people say 'wet bulb temperature' they are referring to when it is 100% relative humidity and your body's thermoregulation shits the bed because your sweat can't evaporate because the air is already full of water & you die a painful heat stroke death.

A 'feels like' temperature of 106 is hot and definitely excessive heat which should be avoided as much as possible (especially if you're part of a vulnerable population, like the elderly, disabled, and young children) - but it is not a wet-bulb temperature because the air is not saturated with water. You can still cool down with evaporation & your sweat on a 106 degree day in 45% humidity. That's like a wet bulb temperature of 80F.

FWIW the temps shown in the OP are not measured wet bulb temps and are instead the heat index (i.e. 'feels like). The wet bulb globe temp is like 80-85F like I said. You can get a good estimate of the actual wet bulb temp based on dew point & air temp using this calculator: https://www.weather.gov/epz/wxcalc_dewpoint (or like the basic 1/3 rule where you take Air Temp - Dew Point, divide that by 3, and subtract the result from the Air Temp.)

nerd not a wet bulb temp the humidity in NYC today is like 45% and the dew point is like 65f

 

lol @ the crisis message. i will continue making inflammatory comments thank you

(for context I said that in response to some dumbass thread on a /r/todayilearned post that essentially boiled down to some neckbeard arguing with me with 10 comments that "communism killed 200 bazillion people!!!")

 

It's been 8 years since I bought it and it still runs like a champ but ideally I'd like to actually utilize the 4k portion of my monitors.

Current Build:
Processor: Ryzen 7 3700X
Motherboard: ASUS B550-F
RAM: 32GB DDR4
GPU: GTX 1060 6GB

Ideally I'd like to hit at least 16GB of VRAM since I'm of the opinion that if I'm gonna spend more than $500 on a graphics card, it better at least last the next decade of new releases gaming wise. My motherboard can probably stand an upgrade too since I have a bunch of unused USB-C ports due to the fact that the B550-F doesn't have any 3.1 headers.

Don't really have a budget but I'm posting this in the hopes someone will tell me "don't buy the 4080 super you idiot" and inform me of a better, cheaper, alternative majima-dapper

.obviously YES I will be running windows, linuxheads please remain calm dennis-stare

 

in my opinion the world should turn the whole island into glass mankind has suffered the british for far too long

 

In an investigation into mysterious illnesses in dairy cows in Texas, Kansas, and New Mexico, tests on unpasteurized milk and nasal swabs have revealed highly pathogenic avian flu in Kansas and Texas, according to a statement today from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS).

The cow's symptoms included decreased milk production, low appetite, and other symptoms. APHIS said the infections were primarily seen in older dairy cows. The new development comes less than a week after Minnesota veterinary officials detected H5N1 avian flu in baby goats at a farm where the virus had been detected in a backyard poultry flock.

The Texas Department of Agriculture said today that the disease has been working its way through the Texas panhandle, puzzling the agriculture industry. It said the cows had flulike symptoms, including fever and thick and discolored milk.

Sporadic outbreaks continue to be reported in US poultry flocks, along with numerous H5N1 detections in a variety of wild birds across many states. Along with the unidentified illnesses, the farms had also reported dead wild birds on the properties. The virus was found in milk samples from sick cows at two dairy farms in Kansas and Texas and in an oropharyngeal sample from another dairy in Texas.

"Based on findings from Texas, the detections appear to have been introduced by wild birds," APHIS said, adding that initial testing by the National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Ames, Iowa, have found no changes that would make the virus more transmissible in humans.

they were right it was interesting

 

that's right i'm still on the glass kick. anglo-saxon glass shortages between the 7th and 9th centuries?? 9 ton glass slabs from the early islamic period??

very-smart

 

in all fairness though they're very cute and there's nothing wrong with making the entire outside portion of your fortress a giant equine/goat/cat/bird sanctuary for your animal trainers to frolic in while you send miner after miner to their watery graves (after all three of the fortress' military squads were killed or maimed fighting two forgotten beasts that made their way out of the caverns into the hallway leading up to the fortress) in the cavern fifteen layers beneath all the unicorn vomit....we're rich in rope reed and barley

 

vyvanse prescription has been delayed for 3 weeks now. i am a patient, yet severely ADHD soul, so I figure "oh it's probably just delayed because they're out of stock" and go about my business since I had about a week left (thanks to me completely forgetting to take it like 30% of the time).

wake up this morning and realize I am taking the last one I have. Not good, I think, because next week is especially busy at work. So I take an early lunch break at 9:30 and drive out to Walgreens to see if maybe, somehow, I've just completely missed the "your prescription's ready" call and texts.

Pharmacist asks me what I'm looking for. "My vyvanse prescription, it was placed on the 24th. My name is ABC and DOB is..."

Tappity-tap-tap on their computer. They glance up and narrow their eyes at me like I'm asking them to hack into the NSA's secure amphetamine database. Tappity-tap-tap.

"You're picking up a vyvanse prescription?? For whom??"

Uh, myself...? Here's my license.

"Hm..I'm not finding it, let me ask the head pharmacist to take a look."

30 minutes go by. The Head Pharmacist finally comes out and asks for my license for the second time. "The other pharmacist literally copied it down on the clipboard before they went to find you." I say as I fish it out of my wallet. They blink and look at the clipboard.

"Oh..huh. You're right they did."

Now I'm somewhat irritated as I hand them my license again. He looks at it, realizes it is exactly the same as what the sheet says, and hands it back to me.

"So umm.....it looks like the generic lisdexamfetamine is backordered which is why we haven't filled it yet."

This wouldn't be a shock except for the fact that I don't get the fucking generic. So immediately my response is "Well, my insurance covers the brandname 100% and I don't even get the generic so...are you saying the brand-name is also backordered and you cannot fill it??"

shocked-pikachu "No, we can fill it if you want the brand name medication!!"

"So why did y'all not fill it for 3 weeks if literally every other time I've filled this prescription through you, I've received the brand name medication??"

"...Because the generic is back-ordered sir..."

?????????? What the fuck are you talking about. It sounds like you just tossed my prescription into the "backordered" pile whenever it came in and didn't realize it wasn't actually a backordered medication until I came in. Thank you for wasting my entire hour lunch-break!!
