A re-intro:
Academic in Forestry faculty but not a forester. Work on energy, land-use, climate, equity, justice. Often at intersection of energy & forests.
With a dash of TTRPGs, nerdy stuff and politics.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.
Also love how the chefs give the judges instructions on how to eat their dish. What order and what bit goes with what so they get the best culinary experience.
Princess Bride has to be at the top for me. Better than the book.
For a recent fave, it’s Murderbot based on @marthawells.com series.

I’m invested enough that I know exactly who I want to win. And I’m not the type of person to do that with any reality show.

Really interested in seeing if other unions will follow suit.
Anyway, now there’s a game that lets you do just that by stealing and repatriating African artifacts.
I'll go one further. Years ago I misheard Kid2 and thought they didn't understand something about trans people. I simplified a bit in my explanation. Turns out not only did Kid2 not need it explained, they corrected my simplification. They got it. Wasn't hard.

It should be alarming to anyone in Utah that Rocky Mountain Power/PacifiCorp isn't planning to build any new solar, wind, or battery storage in the next 20 years for Utah. #utpol

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...
Not happy at all at these young whippersnapper academics and their new fangled methods overturning the discipline.
But these Ramadan sales are cracking me up. Charitably, it might work for S. Asian muslims. But even then, seems like they just put on a grab-bag of items from that part of their int’l food aisle.
Maybe it’s a mineral claims process that seems to be from the 1800s.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
-greater instability and potential for use
-greater risk of accidents
-greater impacts of nuclear weapons production
-greater diversion of resources that could be used elsewhere
+ current agreement has verification tools
I spent the 90s studying (undergrad and MSc) and working on various nuclear issues as the Cold War supposedly ended.
This is fine. It’s all fine. Nothing to worry about. 🤬

Also, I’ve concluded 100 Year War on Palestine. Do you have other suggestions for reading? If you don’t mind. I’d actually love a thread if you do. Not that you have to.
