Mouselemming@sh.itjust.worksto science@lemmy.world•Scientists stunned after finding one of Earth's most remote places blanketed in dangerous material: 'Is it snowing plastic … ?'English91·4 days agoNot doubting the plastic they found was windblown, but I do wonder how much more is now there along the path they trekked through. Tiny particles sraped from their skis, shed from their clothing and gear…

Mouselemming@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•I had a hysterectomy on Thursday and recovery is boring and painful. Do y'all have any questions for me?301·4 days agoOh hey! Congratulations on yeeting the uterus! Had mine out through my C-section scar, so hopefully your recovery will be quicker. And when it’s over, you’ll be able to wear white pants any time you want, and have pretty sheets!
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•Trump intervenes to help block law requiring priests report child abuse in confession5·4 days agoSince Washington State law supports trans care for minors, would reporting it even harm anyone? Is it even a sin to be confessed?
As for the argument that if they report the rape and abuse confessions the pedos won’t confess, then the result is that they don’t get absolution and their souls burn in hell.
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which sources do you use to keep up with current events?10·4 days agoI wake up to NPR Morning Edition, which is by no means perfect but it gives me a general rundown of what to be depressed about today.
And they were the first major news organization to start calling Trump’s lies “lies.”
I just hope, now that they’ve lost the funding from the administration, they can stop pulling their punches trying to keep from losing it. If so, I’ll double my donation, though tbf it’s a pittance.
What I’d really like would be if they never aired his slimy voice again. Summarize his actions, quote him if necessary, since it’s important for points of hypocrisy and idiocy and narcissism. But spare my pre-coffee soul from that mealy whine.

Real fox or possibly foxes, people reacted to the warning by deliberately leaving out shoes, so second notice reminding folks it’s bad for foxes to spend too much time close to people. Why? No solid info.
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•Newsom threatens to redraw California House maps in protest at Texas plan5·6 days ago"Newsom’s plan in California is unlikely to succeed. More than a decade ago, California voters approved a constitutional amendment that stripped lawmakers of their ability to draw congressional districts and gave it to an independent redistricting commission. Newsom has only offered vague ideas for how to get around that requirement. He has suggested the legislature could call a quick voter referendum to potentially strip the commission of its power. He also said on Wednesday there was a possibility of the legislature trying to enact new maps on its own – a novel legal theory.
“It’s not lawful in any way,” said Dan Vicuña, a redistricting expert at the watchdog group Common Cause. “It was clear that this was meant to be done one time after the census, through a public and transparent process that centers community feedback, and then to be not touched again until the next decade.”
He added: “It’s not an invitation to them to circumvent the independent process and gerrymander maps in the middle of a decade. That would completely undermine the purpose of the independent process voters approved.”
California’s independent commission has long been considered a model for making the process of drawing district lines fairer. There has been a bipartisan push in recent years to get more states to adopt commissions such as California’s, where ordinary citizens – Democrats, Republicans and unaffiliated – have the power to draw district lines. After the 2020 census, four states – California, Arizona, Michigan and Colorado – used independent commissions. Democrats sought to require all states to use independent redistricting commissions in federal legislation that stalled in the US Senate during Joe Biden’s presidency."
That’s pretty!
I also have windows that slide left/right. Specifically, the right side slides left to open, right to close. Two are “landscape,” one is “portrait” shaped. Then I have three sliding-glass doors, which work exactly the same way except for the latch, threshold, and the fact that the screen also slides. It may be relevant that it never snows here.

If you signed up to stop crime, do that and only that. And I don’t mean “the crime of being here.”
If you’re conducting a legal action with a judicial warrant to detain an actual dangerous criminal, focus everything on getting that one guy.
Anyone else who happens to be in the neighborhood… isn’t.
If you’re sent to raid a business/farm that’s illegally exploiting undocumented immigrants, arrest the exploiter, not the workers.
That goes double if you got a tip about the business, because it’s highly likely the owners themselves sent it in order to quash discontent or unionization.
Have no power to make those decisions? Run slowly, grab loosely, pull your punches and aim any chemicals or less-lethal projectiles wide of any humans. And keep top of mind that they are HUMANS, despite what your reptilian overlords may tell you.
Don’t quit, make them fire you for sabotaging the cruelty.
Croissant de lune is only half correct in the first place. If it looks like the emoji you picked, it is a “baby moon” and growing (“waxing”) towards full, but if it’s oriented like C 🌜 it’s an “old moon” that’s “waning” or decreasing.
I don’t mean YOU aren’t correct, just that the term is scientifically sloppy.
I was just thinking, I have a fire extinguisher in the kitchen and had to use a previous one once before. It made such a huge mess, ruining the food that wasn’t on fire as well. So later on I found myself reluctant to use it. Which I guess is probably good in that I was more careful to avoid causing any fire in the first place, but still… And when my most recent previous extinguisher hit the expiration date and I replaced it, of course I tried out the old one, but it fizzled. So although the new one is better, I wonder if a simple smothering blanket might be a good additional option.
