Didn't they find that the video was run at 1.01 speed, making it seem like there was more time missing than was actually missing?

I've never heard of yeast oil, but I just found this article on the climate impacts which maybe someone else who isn't on the verge of sleep can summarize.

My main question regarding yeast oil is how quickly it goes off. Yeast itself goes off, and presumably yeast oil is a good habitat to breed yeast (which is most places in the environment), so, like, what's the shelf life?

I'm on Android and turned off all Gemini features on my Google accounts. Now it refuses to let me do reverse image searches, claiming I "don't own" the images I'm trying to reverse search. It looks like (I haven't checked) they want me to upload the images to Drive and give Google permission to access everything again before they'll agree to do a reverse image search for me.

Fortunately, there's still TinEye and Yandex.

Much better when they have the little "vision impaired? click here!" button :(

I'd say the big three are California (fire, potential earthquakes), Florida (hurricanes with tidal surge), and Texas. But as you say, Texas is the one that refuses to do anything to mitigate their risks, even those of their own making - and it does seem that so many of the disasters Texas has are massively exacerbated by their refusal to mitigate risks.

A friend of mine suggested that Texas' nickname should be "The One Star State".

Campers were not allowed to bring mobile phones, and counselors were made to surrender theirs, leaving them unable to see the emergency alerts themselves

The kids, I understand, but I think the counselors should have been allowed to keep their phones, at least after hours.

The Post said the NWS alert did not contain an order or recommendation for evacuation, a power it said rests with local government officials.

Yeah, the local government officials that debated a flood warning system for over a decade because they didn't want to pay the $1 million themselves, then were given $10 million in pandemic funds and re-directed most of it to the sheriff's department, and a footpath.

“We’ve heard accounts of trailer after trailer after trailer being swept into the river with families in them. [We] can’t find the trailers, we don’t know how many of them there are,” the county judge, Rob Kelly, said. One trailer was found “completely covered in gravel” 27ft below the surface of the river, he said, adding that sonar crews were searching the river and local lakes. Two reservoir lakes attached to the river would be drained to aid the search, officials said.

The more I hear, the sicker - and angrier! - I feel.

To my mind, that just makes it worse: he knows he's in a flood plain, he's got repeated exemptions to expand his camp in excess of normal regulation and procedures, be gets a flash flood warning, and he still doesn't evacuate?

3.5% for a sustained protest posting several days. Unfortunately, we're nowhere near that yet.

I was going to add in "bragged about just grabbing random women 'by the pussy' on tape" but then I went to look something else up, so I'll just add to your list:

  1. Has an entire 16,000+ (*) word Wikipedia page dedicated to their sexual assault allegations.

* For those of you who don't remember from school, one double-spaced page contains about 250 words. So this is roughly a 64 page paper on his sexual assaults.

What happens if Paxton wins the primary against Cornyn? Texas becomes a COMPETATIVE STATE for the 2026 midterms.

I don't understand why Texas would become competitive.

And growing plants that we eat.

And bird flu.

It's also a really nonsensical accusation: California isn't even in the top 10 egg-producing states. But he hates California and wants to target liberals, so here we are ...
