Fuck Russia. Jesus, what a miserable, morally warped government.

Not higher risk in this case! This should actually lower risk by raising the bar for everyone:

The new regulation excludes individuals who have had protected or unprotected anal intercourse with a new sexual partner in the past four months, regardless of gender or sexual orientation.

This hedges against sexual tourism, with further restrictions on donors who have recently gotten tattoos or tick bites, which can be potential vectors for disease.

This is good, as blood-borne pathogens are on the rise in different populations these days, and this will keep recipients safer.

Honestly, I don't trust anything with wheels under 20 inches going above 15mph. I remember the days of eating shit as a kid on an electric scooter and unpowered scooters. I think the max powered speed I'd ever want to go is about 30mph anyways, even on an ebike.

You are in good company. We are trying to fight off the yoke that autocrats are planning for our own country. Bastards just don't know when to quit.

Sounds like these data centers are going to need to invest in advanced nuclear or other renewables and transmission lines if they want to build datacenters here.

It's always people named Jordan Jackson or Peter Pierce, and they always have the visage of someone who worked in a Roundup facility for 45 years.

Needs to take out the entire project 2025 team, all servers, anyone ever involved. Tabula rasa.

Pardon my ignorance, but why was Hungary added to the EU in the first place? How did it ever get to this point?

One of my buddies suffered from the same problem. He was left out and generally held at arms length until he was shown love, or at least understanding. He flipped almost overnight and realized how grave his mistakes were. He ended up becoming a teacher and hopes to help students before they made the same sort of mistakes he did when his teachers were shitty to him. Props to him for breaking the cycle.

He still regrets how far he pushed some people away, and the actions he took as a teen. But he is much happier now and we have mended our friendships with him.

There are geothermal solutions for geothermal features near the surface already. This article is about advances in deep geothermal solutions: 15,000+ feet of pipe, deep into the earth. Utilizing the falling cost of horizontal drilling equipment from the fracking industry, there are now solutions to drill 10,000 feet down, and 5,000 feet sideways to improve the likelihood of running into superheated rock. Currently, drilling will be limited to geothermally gifted areas of America, but may be able to expand to less fortunate areas as the technology improves and gets even less expensive.

Looks like critical thinking deteriorates above 72f/22c. Crime swings higher. Lowering your core temperature seems to help, even if you live in a climate with unavoidable heat.

For context, a water main blew, and the city of Calgary has been under strict water rationing for the past handful of days. The new pipe should arrive later this week from California :)

It's pretty cool that the government has a department that can delicately extract damaged money and return new bills to people. I wish this article went into the process of how they do it!

They found a plant thought to be exinct in the area, and got super excited when they found it. Seeds have been forwarded to a seed bank. The article is worth a read and is fairly short :)

They found a plant thought to be extinct in the area. The article and people involved are extremely excited about their work. Well worth the read!

It was a very unlikely win. Some, if not all players on this team have day jobs.

In effect, Mr. Trump’s candidacy is becoming a referendum on what kind of justice system the country believes it has now and wants to have in the future
