Durian.

Texture of banana but with a huge seed. Tastes like a strange combination of rotten eggs, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, diced garlic, onions, cheese, and... caramel?

It's fucked. Never again.

To fascists, hypocrisy is a virtue:

https://hac.bard.edu/amor-mundi/hypocrisy-and-fascism-2018-08-12

They NEED to demonstrate their hypocrisy in order to signal to their supporters that the nasty shit they promise to do to The Other (immigrants, gays, whatever) won't be done to their supporters.

National will never do anything like this. Even weed. A total non-starter.

It is very rare to only get one term. So we're looking at another 6 years, minimum.

It's going to feel like forever 😉

New Star Wars Plan: Pentagon Rushes to Counter Threats in Orbit (www.nytimes.com)

The Pentagon is rushing to expand its capacity to wage war in space, convinced that rapid advances by China and Russia in space-based operations pose a growing threat to U.S. troops and other military assets on the ground and American satellites in orbit....

Remember, recently Russia vetoed a UN vote on stopping arms race in outer space.

A 3C temperature increase will cause “precipitous declines in output, capital and consumption that exceed 50% by 2100”

Remember this is a global average. There will be places with a 100% decline.

It might cost more overall but it will be different people paying that cost (taxpayers and poor, mostly) whereas if we took action now it would be the capitalists paying for it.

Tokelau - the first nation to be completely solar powered (youtu.be)

This documentary tells the story of 3 small atolls in the Pacific that overcame their isolation and dependence on diesel generators to become the first 100% solar powered nation in the world. It also gives a unique insight into their sharing-based way of life - their fishing and cooking traditions, education, religion and...

It is being worked on in a separate service - crowdin.com. I'll copy the data from there into PieFed when it's ready. 66% done so far.

I've seen a vanload of tourists happily taking pictures of sheep on more than one occasion. New Zealand.

Will I ever be seen as truly British?

My family immigrated to the UK from Poland when I was six. I’m 20 now, speak much better English than Polish and feel like this is my land/culture. However I have a Polish first and last name, Polish passport and “unique” accent everyone picks up on, so despite this I’m usually perceived as an outsider. It makes me...

You might feel more comfortable in a larger city. In London every person you meet has a different accent, it's amazing.

Russia threatens Britain with retaliation if involvement in Ukraine war deepens (www.pbs.org)

Russia on Monday threatened to strike British military facilities and said it would hold drills simulating the use of battlefield nuclear weapons amid sharply rising tensions over comments by senior Western officials about possibly deeper involvement in the war in Ukraine....

Russia on Monday threatened to strike British military facilities

This is equivalent to USA threatening to strike North Korean, Iranian or Chinese facilities (all of whom have been arming Russia). No such threats have been made.

Just so we're clear who's escalating things.

Yeah I was heavily into peak oil once, too.

Don't underestimate the power of literally everyone on the planet really really wanting to avoid that situation. Life finds a way.

In the comments on the article people have debugged their cloudflare/caching configuration for them and told them what they're doing wrong.

The faircode model assumes that contributions from random outside people are minor and that the bulk of the work is done by the founder(s). To the founders there is little actual benefit from being an open source project, anyway. I can understand the attraction of the model in that situation.

My ideal OSS project would be receiving a steady stream of contributions from a wide variety of people without an elite sub group that considers themselves to be "the authors", which would be obviously unsuited to the faircode model. Sadly few projects achieve that and are largely the work of one person.

IMO it depends on the situation/project.
