Well, the message is real, and I don’t think the pilot was joking.

During non-testing hours or weekends, manned flights may sometimes be cleared through, but usually only at extreme altitudes (24,000 feet or higher) and only after being coordinated through local ATC and range control.
istg, what’s with all the harvesting they’ve been doing of cat pictures over there?: 11 hours ago, 5 hours ago, 5 hours ago, 6 hours ago, 26 minutes ago …
It can’t all be karma-farming.
Lol, what is this bullshit? He’s been cheering them on all along.
Ergot poisoning (aka, St Anthony’s fire) has been a recurrent issue since people started eating rye and similar grains. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a similar issue with other grains.
That said, they didn’t say what type of breads were affected, nor did they say whether the poisoning was natural, carelessness, or intentional :(
it’s to build a graph of the people that you interact with so further intelligence collection could be planned.
It’s the Finding Paul Revere analysis, and it can get scary.
Especially with things like cyberattacks (institution losing access to your accounts), scamming (you lose access to your accounts), power failures (everyone loses access to their accounts), etc.
I mean, I literally have a small stash of money in the closet (some 20’s and a bunch of smaller notes), so that if a semi-major disaster hits, I can still buy any supplies I can find that I need - gas, water, food, a couple nights in a hotel, whatever. Plastic is a great backup system, but it relies on me having my card, my card having enough money free, the merchant having power to run the card, the merchant’s communications working, the system they link into having power and communications, etc. With cash, it’s just “here, take this” and it’s all good.
Sharks have existed long enough that their species (and our Sun) has circled around the entire Milky Way Galaxy - twice.
I started to excerpt parts of the article for a tl;dr, but this is an excellent article. It covers the war’s impact on food production in multiple regions and in many different (and some non-obvious) ways. I encourage people to read it in its entirely as it’s an excellent overview of potential food-related events (fertilizer shortages, weather problems, export restrictions, civil unrest) later this year.
If it’s an option in your area, you might consider joining a farm share or Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) in your area: you pay the farmer up front and get a share of the harvest in return. It ensures local farms can continue to exist and gets you lots of high-quality local produce.
If the disruption continues, consumers could see higher prices for bread within six to 10 weeks, eggs within a few months and pork and broiler chicken within six months.
GenX has never held any type of power, nor will they ever - not political, not economic, not financial. The Boomers were always like “Wait your turn”, but they never bothered turning anything over regardless of what we fought for, or how hard.
And now the Millennials have come up on the other side. And I’m just so tired of fighting to make things happen, or even just to try to preserve things, that that’s okay. I did what I could to make things better, and I’m happy for a less weary cohort to take over.
They can travel faster - but you would need one capable of making a 13 hour trans-oceanic flight, plus the crew. I think the time “saved” by a faster-flying plane would be offset by finding and fueling the plane, finding the crew and getting them to the airport? I don’t know, I’m not an aviation expert, I’ll just going on feelings here.
Wait, what? It’s like a 13 hour flight to Moscow, and it’s been less than 13 hours since the attack. How did the logistics on that work?
When you’re paying over 50k to climb the mountain anyway, an additional 4k isn’t very much.
Where’s the “rest of the world” image from? I know it but I can’t remember and it’s really bugging me :(
Yeah, it’s just me now as well. I split a share with a friend for a few years, which was nice, we could pawn off anything we didn’t particularly care for on the other person. Mostly, it worked well - she loved beets, I hate them; I love garlic, she only wants like 2 bulbs a year.
Then my farmers retired during the pandemic and I had to find a new farm. My new place offers 10 week shares: any ten weeks during the growing season, I can go and pick up a box, I don’t even have to notify them ahead of time. I cook as much as I can and freeze about half of it, then eat my way out over the winter.
evil cackling intensifies
Pretty much all I know is off of this thread:
