Just for the sake of clarity, there is a difference between jumping above 2C during a year and the long-term average being above 2C, which is what we’re usually talking about when it comes to global warming. This headline, and the 1.5C headlines from 2023, tend to muddy the waters. Shit is bad and getting worse, but it’s not quite as bad as you might think at first glance.

I mean, I suppose so. I can imagine a theoretical AI that isn’t trained on stolen work, isn’t insanely energy intensive, isn’t controlled by the ownership class, and doesn’t hallucinate wildly. But that’s so far away from what AI is in our current context, drawing that distinction feels like losing the forest for the trees, at this point in time.

Quite a lot of people, especially here on the Fediverse. You’d be wise to care too - AI is no friend to the working class.

Oh, absolutely. As my instructor put it, if you cause an arc flash and are killed instantly, you got off lucky. Because if you survive, your body will be severely damaged for the rest of your life.

Those trainings put the fear into you for good reason. I don’t fuck with high voltage at all, shit is way too scary for me.

And that arc flash’s temperature is several times hotter than the surface of the sun. It’s hot enough to instantly vaporize any surrounding metal, meaning that if you manage to survive being near an arc flash, there’s a chance that you’ll end up with tiny metal shards in your lungs, when they cool down after you breathe them in. Arc flashes are scary stuff.

And so energy inefficient.

Exactly. It’s an energy conservation measure

Thank you!

Hey, please don’t use ableist slurs. It’s easy to criticize conservatives without doing so.

Naomi Klein talks about this in Doppelgänger, and it’s really interesting. She argues, compellingly, that the yoga/spirituality/wellness types were never so much truly left-wing as they were counter to the medical establishment. Which wasn’t inherently harmful - yoga and meditation are good, and modern medicine doesn’t solve every problem. But then COVID came along, and it stripped away all the control these people felt they had over their health. And then it became revealed that they were never so much far-left as they were far out.

Cool! Still not gonna put all my eggs in the fascist-sympathetic basket

I like to let my dog sniff each food as I take it out of the bags and put it away. I figure, if I can broaden his world, why not? He seems to enjoy his role in the process

Not quite months, but definitely weeks 😂 Obsidian can be such a rabbit hole. If I tweak that last template one more time, then I’ll finally be done, I swear!

Nope, you are correct! From the Wikipedia page, which cites the standards document:

• Representations can be done in one of two formats – a basic format with a minimal number of separators or an extended formatwith separators added to enhance human readability. The standard notes that “The basic format should be avoided in plain text.” The separator used between date values (year, month, week, and day) is the hyphen, while the colon is used as the separator between time values (hours, minutes, and seconds). For example, the 6th day of the 1st month of the year 2009 may be written as “2009-01-06” in the extended format or as “20090106” in the basic format without ambiguity.

Haha yep, you caught me. I’m a fan of the unique note feature

And it is easily extensible to YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss to include the time of day
