Profile pic is from Jason Box, depicting a projection of Arctic warming to the year 2100 based on current trends.
Reverse inflation says that 1970 dollars that would be about $5400. Don’t know how useful that is without knowing (remembering, which I don’t) the cost of things then.
On another note, the current poverty line is $15k for a single person. I can’t see how someone could afford a place to live and eat with that in most places. I guess if you share a place with a few other people.
I’ll add to the bias. I created both a kbin account and a Lemmy.one account when the migration happened. Preferred kbin’s look and feel, then changed over to mbin when Ernest started having issues. Haven’t looked back, mbin is great.
The fan of the game that spends more time in the official forums defending the company’s bad decisions than actually playing.
Yes, there’s some old stuff archived out there for free, but it’s very limited and hit or miss. People who have collected a decent digital archive of things you would have found in a library decades ago deserve to make some money for their service.
Don’t forget Florida trying to weaken child labor laws. MAGA. If the mine was good enough for great grandpa, it’s good enough for you.
Obscenity isn’t protected by the First Amendment
Is this the same Constitution that they’re pissing on with everything else? It most certainly does protect it. Do NOT use the “think of the children” shit when your actions towards children safety has been the complete opposite. Hell, I saw news today of further cuts being pursued for Medicare, as well as past things on cutting school lunches and of course the destruction of the DoE. You do NOT care about children, do not bring them into this.
Actually it’s no, then yes, and then… not illegal or stated conditionals, but come on. Every political action has some significance of benefit, even if they state “we just like you, bro”.
The aircraft normally used by the President and other high officials are more than some luxury vehicle. So is this coming with all the features of the existing 747s used, and will it be disassembled before use to make sure it’s not bugged?
Also, quid pro quo and all that. What’s the catch?
Not a great time for that given the UPS layoffs. UPS is hardly a perfectly spotless company itself. I get it, participation means you could have chosen not to work for them and thereby not been connected in some way to the problem. But to be 100% guilt-free I’m not sure if anyone could be associated with any capitalistic entity, or even use their services.
Using an excuse made by Nazis and other military criminals when they murdered people to pin any potential future corruption actions of a company board leader on someone just doing a hourly job is… a bit of a reach.
I’m appalled at the continued erosion of what should be a federal service to the public, but the blame for that is not someone delivering packages. If anything going this route is a misdirection.
So you’d blame the delivery driver for something that’s totally beyond his control?
The official homeless number for 2024 in the US was 771,480. That’s probably just reported and not actual.
That Venus has a solid crust I think has been known for a long time, first evidenced by volcano features that appeared static. The interesting part here is that there is subduction that maintains a thinner crust, it’s just occurring in place. Which makes me wonder, maybe this happens on Earth as well, and our more dynamic crustal movement is just an added feature.
Also, if subduction is a thing regardless of crust movement, that kills or at least puts into question one of the arguments of the Rare Earth hypothesis, that being crust movement is necessary for a functional carbon cycle, which in turn life depends on. Of course, Venus has virtually no water so that itself breaks any carbon cycle that could exist.
Personal data that won’t be shared with anyone, but coincidentally there will be a spike in ICE investigations on people of color in those areas.
I’ve always liked the seconds one because time is something anyone can relate to, and the gap there is staggering. Of course then there’s a trillion seconds, which is almost 32,000 years.
What’s the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars? About a billion dollars.
I think he nailed the character in Bladerunner 2049, but maybe it suited him so it worked.
I didn’t have an India/Pakistan war on my bingo ca…oh, wait, yeah, it’s always been there in that corner. Great.
Oh no, this is another one of those “are these dresses really the same” things.
Seriously though, that’s cute.
Did the ad agency forget the usual “items appear larger for detail” verbiage EVERYONE uses on their ads and packages?
Throwaway account: “…asking for a friend.”
And there is the motive. I did not guess it was a used car salesman.
