How does one run low on blood?

Normies don’t do change

Also 'cuz I’d like to see how they could progress in the curricula without Pythagoras and the periodic table.

The Vatican is essentially Italy, except when it goes against their interests

Siemens Field PG: you make a lot of money

Afaik the fingerprint is stored on dedicated hardware on your device, it never leaves your phone and cannot be “read”

Yeah, very Enterprise-D

I mean if they help children grow when they have no real parents…

I mean, with Matchstick Men and Lord of War in play, Con Air and Face/Off don’t even register

Summary by Kagi:

Title: Gas Stoves, Murder Hornets, Spy Balloons, And Other Media Panics We Forgot About - SOME MORE NEWS

• The media often engages in sensationalism, quickly moving from one crisis to another, which can leave the public unaware of ongoing issues that require attention.
• The narrative surrounding Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) highlights how bee populations, particularly honeybees, have been misrepresented; while honeybee farming has increased, wild bee populations are facing significant threats.
• The panic over murder hornets was largely exaggerated, focusing more on their potential threat to humans rather than the real danger they pose to honeybee populations and agriculture.
• The controversy over gas stoves stemmed from concerns about health risks associated with gas emissions, yet it was sensationalized into a culture war issue, with no actual plans to ban them at the federal level.
• The fear of losing meat consumption due to the rise of lab-grown alternatives and insect-based protein is largely unfounded; these innovations are viewed as potential solutions to resource scarcity rather than outright bans on traditional meat.
• Brexit serves as a cautionary tale of how misleading campaigns can lead to significant economic and social consequences, with many voters now regretting their decision to leave the EU.
• The Chinese spy balloon incident exemplifies media panic, where the focus shifted from the actual implications of surveillance to sensationalist narratives that stoked fear without substantial evidence.
• Many perceived crises, such as the ozone layer depletion, have seen improvements due to coordinated international efforts, contrasting with the media’s tendency to focus on immediate panic rather than long-term solutions.
• The document critiques the media’s failure to follow up on stories, which can lead to misinformation and a lack of public awareness about resolved issues or ongoing challenges.
• Overall, the discussion emphasizes the need for critical media consumption and the importance of understanding the nuances behind reported crises to foster informed public discourse.

Deets about the bees:

In the winter of 2006, US beekeepers reported unusually high levels of hive loss, with 28-33% of colonies dying off in commercial operations. This phenomenon was named Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD).
Over the next decade, media coverage progressed from seeing CCD as a scientific curiosity to a full-blown crisis, with warnings about the potential consequences of bees going extinct.
However, despite the dire warnings, the overall honeybee population in the US has actually been increasing. As of 2024, the US has added almost 1 million new bee colonies in the last 5 years, bringing the total to 3.8 million.
The reason for this is that the bees thriving are the domesticated honeybees, which are raised in captivity for honey production and crop pollination. These honeybee populations are doing well.
The real issue is with wild bee species, many of which are in danger of extinction. Factors like habitat loss, pesticide use, and the spread of diseases from commercial honeybee colonies are threatening these wild bee populations.
So while the overall bee population is not collapsing, the diversity and health of wild bee species is still a major environmental concern that was overshadowed by the focus on the thriving honeybee industry.

Far from my distro of choice but better compatibility with one distro usually translates to similar improvements on the others.
I’m very interested in the framework laptops, a 14" UHD touchscreen one would be an instant buy, the current lineup is still tempting nonetheless.

Eh, well, people are varied, don’t make the mistake of grouping all behaviours together, if someone says no and then loses a chance, that’s their problem tbh.
Relations and relationships are difficult, so as always, tolerance and understanding are key… of course there’s context, “no means no” was used in the context of sexual intercourse, there’s not much room for interpretation there.

Yeah, pretty sure a Civic with winter tyres is pretty capable as long as it doesn’t bottom out on the snow or try to drive on solid ice

Well, when I leave it open for a while it tends to have issues

That’s a long wait for sex

The other day my laptop was sluggish as hell, checked top and turns out Discord and Orca Slicer were maxing out my cores

Godspeed

On the back sucks, with your phone laying on a surface you can’t access the reader… Sony had it right, put it on the side, on the power button

Actually it was watching Tank Girl together 🤷‍♂️

Uhm, it kinda happened for me, I felt that this girl liked me but she said no the first time. I stuck around, as we were in the same group of friends, and after a while she changed her mind. We’ve been together for over a decade.
