I have no other policy positions/will pursue no other policy objectives."
Except I will ensure that the army develops large 20 metre high robots that I call Battlemechs.
And we shall paint them blue, gold, white, red, green and not red and black.
Coz fuck Kurita
Apparently calling a person a dumb fuck for believing Russian propaganda is an insult
Fucking pussies
He isn’t wrong
Cars exhaust contains nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapour, oxygen, argon, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons, methane, ammonia, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter, lead, platinum, palladium, rhodium, nickel, copper, zinc and chromium. These drift around, settling on roads. Albeit in trace amounts.
These are in turn washed into storm waterways and creeks where the heavy metals end up in the sediment.
Car tires and plastics used in roads (cats eyes for example) are also causing major microplastic pollution, again because it again washes into waterways and accumulates.
In 2004 it was confirmed that creatures at the bottom of the food chain ie bivalves, polychaete worms, sea cucumbers, amphipods, isopods, lugworms, oligochaetes, chironomid larvae and deposit feeders etc are eating that shit up.
Which, when consumed by predators, bio accumulates in their flesh which we in turn eat.
Incidentally asianometry just released a video on this incredibly fucked up and depressing topic.
Well as of 10:13:49 am AEDT Saturday, 7 February 2026 over the last 5 days the NASDAQ has lost 1.78% (it would have been greater but there has been a slight rebound)
A couple weeks later he ran up a pine tree and got stuck for 4 days again. This time I fashioned a pole and just knocked him off the branch. He fell about 20 feet into a pile of leaves and pine needles and was fine.
I wasn’t 11 but as a young man, newly purchased home owner and father I was struck by an epiphany that I was able to get a cat after years of never ending moving and renting.
So I went out and got the greatest cat I could ever find. A grey and white tuxedo.
Well within a month this idiot had climbed a Norfolk pine tree. A good 20 plus feet, right to the fricken top.
For 6 hours he meowed and meowed. My daughter meowed and begged for me to get him. Now I was by no means a tree climber but I wasn’t gonna leave em and he clearly couldn’t work out how to get down.
So up that tree, sap, pine needles, webs, all in my fucking mouth, I climbed until I got to the top and grabbed that idiot. It was fucking terrify (I hate heights). I shoved him in my hoodie and somehow got down.
Thus he became forever known as stupid cat.
That said he wasn’t that stupid that he ever repeated it. Never went higher then the first branch of a tree again.
I’m Brian and so is my wife
I imagine because people kept stealing the shit out of that sign
Is it an insult against Putin to declare he is running a mafia state?
Having been involved in maintaining whitelists it’s a shit of a job
Especially as you go through a zillion different iterations and systems.
The rape sexual assault vibe is a bit of a problem though.
Well huffing expanding foam is certainly gonna lead to a incident
For those who can’t be assed reading the story it’s democrat primary between a corpo democrat (who has 28% of the vote) being funded by your favourite Zionist super PAC and a heap of other corporate entrenched oligarchs against a grass roots progressive candidate (who at the time of the article had 28.7% of the vote)
Eternity on the google playstore has a swipe right to left for next post.
Absolute godsend.
Why is everyone jumping on this. It’s a congressional research report. It’s not even spearhead by a particular party or politician.
It’s simple report that says we’re not making enough subs so instead sell some b-21 raiders to the Aussies.
I’m surprised no one even saw that part.
If a plane crashes in Russia and all the media is controlled by the state would anyone actually know it happened?
ML is run by heavily-indoctrinated communists. They’re the type that straight up worship communist leaders.
It’s run by Russia bots who are pumping out Kremlin talking points whilst deleting anyone who is critical.
I got deleted for pointing out Putin runs a mafia state.
Shit even the Russian communist don’t like Putin.
Greg Egan’s Diaspora sets out how humanity could explore the galaxy and even the multiverse, which if you can’t be bothered reading consists of:
In the here and now the only way to travel to another system with our current tech is via nuclear pulse engines.
Basically you build a large spaceship. Stick it on massive shock absorbers which are in turn connected to a metre plus thick steel plate.
Cut small hole in the middle. Have a door that opens closes.
Eject 1kt explosive device out door. Repeat 500x till you get to orbit.
Basically you could get a spaceship up to very high speed with nuclear pulse engines to turn a multi hundred year journey into less then 100 years.
That said the biggest problem with interstellar journeys is that our material science and manufacturing tolerances are pretty shit. Essentially all of the air will leak out through the metal skin of the spaceship.
I still think carving put an asteroid, sticking engine on it (see nuclear pulse engines) , covering it in ice and water will solve the problems radiation shielding, losing critical gases and provide ample fuel and water for a very long journey.
Gaspar Noe’s Climax
A French film based on a true story where a hip hop dance troupe had their punch spiked with a large amount LSD before discovering they were snowed in the hall they had been partying in.
The film is continuously shot with no cuts, with the cast adlibbing their lines. The dancing is amazing as is Bangalter’s utterly amazing soundtrack (very far away from any Daft Punk).
I’m sure Gaspar took liberties with the story but after discovering a child had ingested the punch I became quite sick and horrified. I could barely watch the film after that, the insanity that befores everyone is truly sickening.
Having accidentally ingesting a large amount of LSD (my first trip) at a young age (14) it bought a lot back.
And I very much enjoyed a large part of the film but after that part of the plot it really fucked me up.
In Sydney the other week it was 45c at my house.
The heat sucked the soul right out of my ass
