Isn't that basically what they did at weddings in times gone by?

I feel seen.

Yeah but what I find funny is that if people had already jumped from Chrome they probably wouldn't be having problems.

Yeah there was a new fissure near to the houses, now a few of them have started burning. However it's kind of funky that the greenhouse closest to the big fissure is still perfectly fine (well maybe not perfectly, I imagine they have stuff inside they needs to be kept cool) while the main lava flow from the big fissure has gone right by them.

These are the live streams that I've been following:

There was also a live stream from an American geologist, that was kind of cool as he had a drone camera for a while. It was some funky set up where he was connected via Starlink to watch, but also the pilot was connected (maybe also via Starlink) from somewhere closer. He kept giving instructions to the pilot to try and get different views. He had some properly good close up shots of the new fissure near the houses as it was developing, however the stream stopped a while before the houses caught fire.

The other non-live set of videos I saw was from an Icelandic lady called Silki, she had some good bits highlighting the workers trying to save their equipment like daredevils, literally only 20m or so away from the flow. Even now, they're still nearby watching, you can see their trucks on the live streams. She's still putting videos out and I expect will continue updating.

Isn't that basically all fairy tales?

Again?!

The eruption marks the fifth on the Reykjanes peninsula since 2021. There was a powerful volcanic eruption near Grindavík on 18 December after weeks of earthquakes.

Yup, again. Also apparently the barriers they were building haven't worked. The lava is currently 450m away from the nearest houses.

Edit: Houses have been on fire for the last hour or two.

Exactly. Starting from the premise that these services deserve the revenue from ads is completely wrong. As advertising has grown, so has corporate greed in extracting more value from users while providing a worse service.

Apparently this seems to be mainly affecting Chrome users, lol.

It’s pretty clear that Ansarallah are specifically targeting ships going to Israel, too.

It isn't. Only 5 ships targeted out of over 20 actually had anything to do with Israel. With various others, they basically find one Israeli national working for a parent company of the one that owns the vessel, and then claim that means it's Israeli.

There is a simple cheap way too end this that doesn’t include trying to kill people we’ve already tried to genocide from 2015 to …

Saudi Arabia blockaded Yemen. The US joined in from 2015 to 2016, then left, SA kept it up all on their own after that. Claiming that the US genocided them is a massive, disingenuous stretch.

Your claim is basically the same as saying that Iran took over Yemen and started the civil war, not the Houthis.

Saudi Arabia blockaded them, the US joined in but then left relatively early on.

So does Tachiyomi also provide the external sources? My impression was they just did the app, and you got things from elsewhere, but I've never used it (or even heard of it before today).

It's also already got 3 forks, they link them on their website.

Lmao the Guardian source article made me double take on the first paragraph:

That big B looks as if it doesn't just apply to the first line.

Bernie Sanders sweeps into his state office in Burlington, Vermont, Bitching to get on with our interview. When I try to break the ice by Basking the US senator how he is, he replies gruffly, “Good,”
