Probably, but only a fraction of what is used to protect the feed for cattle.

For a professional sysadmin's home network? Maybe. For the average Joe who probably has their 12-year-old toaster still connected to their wifi? I wouldn't bank on it.

Hard to have infinite growth without infinite growth.

Yeah but they're not overdosing your broccoli on antibiotics.

Friendly reminder people can stop eating meat at any point if they don't want to contribute to problems like this.

It's more than that, its been shown to not be any more effective than regular hand washing with non-antibacterial soap, and it has major negative ecosystem impacts. For example, it is hard to filter and fish downstream of AB soap bioaccumulate the AB chemicals to the point of toxicity.

At best it's useless, at worst it contributes to AB resistance, and is toxic to downstream flora and fauna.

And when you're Intel, those timescales are increased 10x, apparently.

This is the third or fourth time I've seen them apologize for nerfing the weapons that made the game fun for people and then play the "we're reevaluating how we do weapon balance" card. This is a PvE game, why do weapons need nerfs? If you feel like your game isn't difficult enough, add a higher difficulty tier for the best players, and let the other 90% live out their bug smashing dreams.

Fed up with the delays, Commissioner Craig Greene, R-Baton Rouge, ended the stalemate in January and joined with the two Democrats on the commission in adopting what they say is a more consumer-friendly program than the one the utilities wanted.

That's what happens when one party's entire purpose in life is to just be bought and paid for. The reason they got to drag their feet for years to come up with nothing meaningful is because 3/5 members of the commission let them. I'm just glad Commissioner Greene finally came around, even if it's only because he's not running for reelection

Friendly reminder that those tiny elections down ballot are still inedibly important.

Seriously. Judging by the before and after photos in the cover image, I'd wager that luscious paradise on the right with tons of shade uses less than half the water of the green hellscape from before.

It can be both things. The donors prop him up and give him the platform for money, but it's the racism that earns him the votes, and ultimately votes are what you need to win an election.

No president has ever been or will ever be perfect, but we've had some good steps since LBJ:

Clinton's increased taxes on the rich, defense spending cuts, etc, got us our first and last government surplus years since '69, and made a little progress on welfare, but that was largely hampered by a Republican takeover of the House in '94

Obama passed the ACA, which was pretty meaningful to the middle class. Again, further progress got hampered by Republicans in congress in the later years of his presidency

Biden has passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which has lots of progressive incentives that benefit middle class families, including tax breaks for home efficiency improvements, renewable energy, and electric vehicles. He has also helped wipe away billions of dollars in student loan debts, benefiting middle class families (but again, you can thank Republicans for that not moving further or quicker)

You'll note the constant tend though - since the president doesn't write the laws, without congressional support, progressive ambitions get killed.
