Falling Object?

Looks like Nintendo has competition for biggest asshole
These seem like acts of war to me.
I agree with this political stunt to point out the Trump Courts illegitimacy.
The words of the constitution currently have no value to the Trump Court. They just invented Total Criminal Immunity for official acts, and anything said to a government employee isn't admissible in court. In a country founded on the idea no one is above the law.
This court is worse than the Dredd Scott court, they'll just rule up is down and any amendment meant to undermine their decision actually affirms it.
For those arguing that Biden couldn't do the funniest thing ever, I disagree. It truely doesn't matter if they rule it an unofficial act. The purpose of this ruling is to get Trump out of his 34 felonies he's already been convicted of because they used a lot of testimony from administration employees. So as long as that part of the ruling stands, Biden can still get away with anything. How do you convict with no witnesses.
I think it started out that way but eventually they took the dinosaur to a museum because they couldn't do it on their own. It was a children's book I probably read 30 years ago.
I remember this book, I don't remember microdosing, but I'm pretty sure the dinosaur hatched from a chicken egg.
Becoming incoherent because of a illness, that doesn't hospitalize you, isn't a great trait for a president.
We lost to Trump in 2016 because we ignored how relentlessly unpopular Hilary Clinton was, Republicans spent decades smearing her every chance they got.
Biden just proved their claims about his mental fitness, if we ignore that by calling it optics, we'll lose.
Hinge was okay 2.5 years ago when I met my gf on it. It's since been purchased by match.com and is likely ruined now.
I'm concerned too much more salt may lead to salting of land, but I may be worried over nothing.
I also don't fully trust our ability to predict negative outcomes if it's profitable to ignore them.
It's all good. I can see that point, but it's unfortunately a bandaid (semi-short term cooling strategy) on a sucking wound (too much CO2 in the atmosphere), and if I trusted the world powers to continue solving the issue (Atmospheric Carbon Capture) before sepsis set (salting the earth from aeroslizing sea water) in, I'd be less opposed.
I never said burn more oil?
Also I'm not a huge fan of the idea of seeding the atmosphere with salt water, that salt has to come down eventually.
It is the Sulfer thing. Sulfer Dioxide was shading the planet and making clouds more reflective, cooling the earth and we're fairly uncertain by how much.
Even though the article doesn't say it outright, the obvious conclusion is that we should have stopped using fossil fuels decades ago. And even if stop now we don't know how much more warming we'd do without the sulfer dioxide. Which shouldn't be added to the atmosphere because it would kill an outrageous amount of people.

My first ski season!
(lemmy.world)
Hello internet strangers.
I wish to discuss what we did this season. Everywhere is on if snow conditions allow and the temp outside is 75°F with rain in the forcast for 2 days this week, I don't think this weekend is happening for me.
My very first and second outing I've posted about already. But someone corrected me about carving and I've since learned just how hard carving is and it was not just parallel skiing like I thought it was. (This might be the first time I've Dunning-Kruegared myself that hard)
I did make it to Caberfea for Presidents Day weekend and stayed at the Lost Pines Lodge, which is a very cool and very rustic motel just 3 miles from the ski hill. It's the kind of place you have to call via phone to reserve. They had a very happening bar for snowmobilers. I went with my friend who taught me skiing.
The first day there was tons of fresh powder and I had a great time. I ended up doing funnel cake and starky several times. We skiied for like 8hrs that day. They were also the longest runs I had done so far.
Towards the end of the day I fell several times on my last run due to flat light. That was the first time I had encountered that. It was not fun at all. It didn't help that my glasses kept fogging inside my visor. Does anyone have any tips for that?
The next day we took the day easy and ended up heading over around 4 pm for their late day prices and some night skiing. After the sun set the snow got very icy and fast but it was a great time. I ended up just rushing down funnel cake and got to some pretty intense speeds (at least it felt that way to me) trying to get used to higher speeds. I got tired after about 4 hours and got drunk on some cider. It was great.
I never worked up the nerve to do upper canyon, which would have opened up a lot of terrain for me. I'll get it next time. Also I love the layout of Caberfea, it felt really cool knowing I couldn't accidentally get on trails that I wasn't ready for or accidentally take a lift I couldn't ski down from. Of the two ski areas I've been, it's my favorite.
My final trip I ended up taking my kid back to Perfect North, they did some group lessons, we never made it onto any ski lifts but I did ski the bunny hill backwards, which was fun. I think they'll be ready for ski lifts first trip next year.
I'm hoping be good enough to hit Mt. Bohemia within the next five years, but we'll see.
What did you all do?
What was your favorite ski area you went to?
What's your 5 year skiing goal? .

Went Skiing For the first time
(lemmy.world)
A friend of mine invited me to go skiing, and I decided to go. It was very fun and I may have a new obsession. I'm probably going to go atleast 2 more times this year and just rent.
Hopefully, Ill be able to save enough to get my own gear and a season pass at a independent place nearish to me.
I was doing the shorter blue runs by the end of the day, because my friend was pretty good teacher, but what are some good resources to learning skiing techniques, and what's the best way to get discount gear?
