cooking up some hybrid xotikz from the annoying arguments people are having: the question of extreme poverty in late qing and whether there’s more role for malthusian pressure versus entrenched class interests against industrialization is a really interesting topic to explore through econometrics
trying to workshop a “discourses on salt and iron” pun. so far i’ve got: two guys playing golf, the evening comes and they blast flood lights, one asks how the club keeps operating after the new government rules on sustainability, “the facility stores up solar during the day, this course is… etc.”
@alexvonwitzleben.bsky.social · 2w agoChinese researchers are advancing iron-based and sodium-ion #battery technologies as lower-cost alternatives to #lithium-ion batteries. By using iron and sodium (derived from common salt), they can reduce costs while improving supply chain security for large-scale #energystorage #ActOnClimate
"Civilization was a mistake" — me when I stay up too late playing Civilization
saved myself a fairly minor amount of time wastage thinking about nothing with my stance that cop candidates, troop candidates, fed/cia/state dept candidates, etc may be for other people, but will not be thought about by me for even a moment
it’s important to understand that this and the broader state of affairs around it are a fully logical result of the trajectory of american anticommunism and the wider ideological groundwork set up to justify it. any objection you can raise has been drilled out of boomer/xer minds since childhood
Jason Scott@textfiles.com · last mo.I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

i think these guys are a little confused about how the concepts of “allegiance” and “being a baby” interact. for one thing both my naturalized parents are way more duty-inclined towards the country than i am
Gabriel Malor@gabrielmalor.bsky.social · last mo.Justice Alito, in dissent, says the constitution does not "degrade the concept of United States citizenship" by confering citizenship on the children of "birth tourists." Degrade. As if the quality of Alito's citizenship depends on excluding others from citizenship.
How it feels to have my birthright citizenship confirmed amid all the other rulings they are putting out:
thing looks like it clobbers everything in the entry level price range (where it was originally targeted) of small form factor pc, depending exactly how small one wants to go and what kind of noise tradeoff is considered acceptable. terrible shame about the memory and storage price situation
Chris Person@papapishu.bsky.social · last mo.I cannot stress enough that the Steam Machine is one of the most beautifully designed pieces of hardware I have ever held. It is SILENT. I had to put my ear to it to hear it. They basically made a giant blower sink with a custom shroud and custom fan. It is not a beast power wise, but I am in awe.
We should ban all social media for under-18s except for text based hobbyists forums (video games, cars, decorative topiary, etc.). It’s good to have the experience of being arbitrarily banned by a 35-year old basement dwelling moderator for posting a point by point refutation of their arguments

The six track (eight in some parts because of Hangzhou Metro L18) southern approach to Hangzhou E Station running thru Xiaoshan south of the Qiantang River is a railfan hotspot due to density of long distance train services. Here you can take a continuous video with 10 trains in a short period.
honestly what surprises me is that a guy who orders the government to give him a billy for no reason bothers to rip people off with branded phones and watches and such and promotes companies whose stock he just bought to the tune of low millions in profit. it’s purely compulsive criminal behavior
people are acting like this is some inherently ridiculous tradeoff but almost all of us on this site think it’s bad to call to end assistance to ukraine on the same basis (some support that on different grounds). the issue is the attack on iran is wrong, not that the economy is under strain
