Yep. The sad fact is that if there was no eclipse, she would have rationalized it differently and blamed something else.
Perhaps a storm, the full moon, the spoiled milk in her fridge, etc.

Yubikey also has usb-c versions with compliant plugs.
Honestly, I think for many countries it might require very far reaching constitutional changes to actually tax the ultra wealthy.
For the USA, an amendment was needed to introduce the income tax.
Another amendment might be needed to introduce a wealth tax.
And a legal distinction would need to be made between the property of the common man vs. the ultra wealthy.
That 14th house, yacht and the hundreds of billions of the billionaire currently enjoy the same legal protections as the owner-occupied single family home and that family’s meagre savings account and the car they need to get to work.
I don’t think you understand the difference between sustenance and worship.
Of course, generations of humans cooked without thermometers or thermostats. You could cook with the Rankine scale if you get used to it .
But let me just say, I don’t think it’s an accident France is both the originator of the Metric system and haute cuisine.
Advanced cooking is as much engineering as it is art.
As a metric person, I can confirm.
Indoor temperatures are basically 18-22 for most people most of the time.
15-25 covers the whole range of indoor temperatures that people with functioning heat or A/C would see.
For temperatures outside we commonly round to the nearest five:*
The only thing I admire of the Fahrenheit scale is that it can round to the nearest 10 and still be a little bit more precise than Celsius with the nearest 5. And when discussing fever temperatures, Celsius needs half degrees and Fahrenheit does not.
But it’s an absolutely awful scale for cooking.
Indeed.
We can easily solve climate change if we are willing to spend a tenth on it compared to what we spend on defense.
The difference is that this “may end”, while Ukraine and Gaza are killing lots of innocents.
Also, we have the technological means to stop this one if we really want to. We just don’t want to.
Aerosol spraying for $1B a year can buy time.
Spending $100B a year for a decade on nuclear power plants built to Chinese/Korean safety standards in addition to current spending on solar, wind and electrification can stop our emissions in two decades.
Which is why it is good that this author is writing this article. We must fight apathy against climate change.
Indeed, sounds like a legitimate win to me.
It’s basically a FOSS Chromebook.
Waiting for SBF to respond to this.
I learned this back in the 90s, I’m surprised new research is needed.
The solution seems to be LED lighting. The right LED bulbs don’t trigger the bug brains.
I presume Blinken means Netanyahu with “he”? Or does he mean himself, Blinken?
Because Netanyahu is a genocidal psychopath who doesn’t feel any remorse for any of the victims of Oct 7th, the hostages or the civilians in Gaza. He just wants ethnically cleansed land.
Blinken, I do believe, will feel guilty for supporting these atrocities.
Heck, one of our longest serving Christian democratic prime Ministers was an ardent supporter of Israel during his time in power, but really felt guilty afterwards.
I, too, feel guilty for having ever been supportive of Israel. It’s just not right.
This is true, but not everything that gets promoted gets popular. A lot also flunks.
Taylor Swift just happens to hit a sweet spot that appeals to a lot of people.
And music has a self-reinforcing spiral. People listen to music from artists that they like, and which their peers like.
So a popular artist could theoretically release an album without any promotion and it would still become popular, just because people will be curious to listen to the new songs from an artist that they already like (of course, record labels will always heavily promote work from their popular artists to make them even more popular).
It’s not necessary for the person to be the sole target.
By comparing the persons DNA to 2 or 3 relatives in a database, it’s quite easy to identify whose DNA you have, or at least narrow it down to a few potentials. (E.g. the DNA is from a male that is a cousin of X by the male line and nephew of Y by the female line).
Let’s not forget, this is exactly how we ended segregation in the US and Apartheid in South Africa.
Activism works. Let your voice be heard.
This is also why bad actors fill sites like reddit with bots, to try and control the public narrative.
But bots can’t vote. Bots can’t demonstrate. Bots can’t boycott.
And also kudos to Lemmy and Lemmy mods for keeping this place relatively free from bots.
Dude, I’m that person.
And you indeed either don’t understand or otherwise want to deny what is actually driving illegal immigration to the USA.
And that’s fine. As a free person, you are free to believe what you want to believe.
If you’re an American, you’ve just proven the point you quoted.
Ironic, lol.
This.
It was always a white lie to claim the US was sending Ukraine billions in aid. The Democrats liked to pump up the numbers, because supporting Ukraine was and is politically popular. And the spending bills also contained nice pork for the military industrial complex.
But it has almost exclusively been old stock being sent. Stuff that is very valuable, since no other Ukrainian ally has the huge stockpiles that the USA has, but it was always worth much less than it was being billed for.
Now Biden is following a more boring, but more honest (in accounting terms) procedure.
Similar to what the Germans did.
As for helping Americans, he has also explored every possibility to reduce debt and prescription drug costs and to invest in infrastructure.
For example, much more has been spent on student loan forgiveness than on Ukraine.
For student loan forgiveness, I believe the tally is $137B. And that is real cash. For Ukraine the total is $75B, but a lot of that is pumped up valuations of old military stock. The actual value of what Ukraine received is closer to $40B
I am not an American and I don’t personally think the American border is in trouble.
But objectively, illegal immigration is at record high numbers. So it will be difficult to deny that simple fact. (it’s mostly due to the hot economy, but American voters don’t understand that)
If Biden wants to win in November, he will have to find a way to get those numbers down, while Republicans do everything they can to get those numbers up.
So, as a non-American, it will be interesting to observe how Biden outsmarts the Republicans yet again.
Israel did what Hamas wanted and Hamas did what Netanyahu and Ben Gvir wanted.
Be ware of the peddlers of war.
