Looks like they plugged a number into a template and nobody is proofreading.
Researchers find human-caused climate change raised temperatures by up to 4C, with 1,500 deaths linked directly to it.
It covered 12 cities with a combined population of more than 30 million, including Barcelona, Madrid, London and Milan, where the study said climate change had increased heatwave temperatures by up to 4C (39.2F).
the heatwave “would have been 2-4C (35.6-39.2F) cooler”
Yes, this works especially well for baguettes. More surface area for the brie or whatever you’re putting on it.
Also, the houses are in poorer towns that are depopulating.
Falcom spoiled me forever by offering a startup option to continue from last save that skips all the logos, intros, etc.
I remembered liking the Pierce Brosnan one when I watched it a long time ago and recently rewatched it. It’s a story about a rich guy who drags a bunch of people into investigations from police and insurance by pretending to steal art because he’s bored. I can’t imagine that landing well currently, but I’m not a movie producer so who knows.
Jim Bakker comes to mind. What are some other poor persecuted saints (/s)?
😑😑😑😑😑😡
Dorothy Gale!

The head lady and the wheelers turning into sand were especially creepy.
I want to go back to Germany. Visited there on a three week exchange in high school but haven’t been back since. Even with the various cultural homework things we had to do (learn what a Schultüte is, visit a graveyard, etc) I’m sure there’s so much more to do and see that young me couldn’t have even comprehended.
I think it’s pretty naive to think education can combat the inherent flaws in human congnition that corporations take advantage of. It’s not a person vs ignorance; it’s a person vs teams of people that understand psychology and design to make it more effective in very subtle ways.
I also think that this is an individualistic solution to a systemic issue. The system will improve its abilities way faster and to a greater extent than humans are capable of dealing with. Education of one cannot keep up with the teams of educated people paid to make things that surpass that education. It would be like saying educating voters can overcome gerrymandering. It’s not useless, but it’s not going to make a meaningful impact.
What to put in its place to deal with this, you might ask. I’m not sure it’s more than a moral panic at this point, honestly. Your specific example didn’t contain a citation so I have no way of evaluating if it’s something I’d take seriously. If I did take it as a valid point, I’d start thinking about how to change the systems. We’re not going to get better humans. We might have a chance, albeit small, to get better systems.
Sunset. If I ever see a sunrise, it’s from the wrong end and my night has either been terrible or exhausting.
I see Bender drinking a beer.
Ah, the top floor might have been what I was thinking of. It’s been a while.
It’s still around? Most of the second floor was unfit for use 20 years ago, wasn’t it?
The soundtrack from old Twin Peaks gets stuck in my head a lot.
I got a surprise rank promotion in the martial art I do. I learned about it via an organizational email. Past a certain point promotions are for contributions to the community and don’t require an actual test; I didn’t think I was doing anything that special, but looking back I can see some of the things that I’ve been doing to help out.
Eight times worse for me is waiting for others to take their turn at a board game. Recently played Wyrmspan (Wingspan but with dragons). Nobody was even thinking about what they were doing next until their turn and somebody’s spouse wanted to leave and kept asking if we were almost done. We only got to play 3 out of the 4 rounds.
It’s wild that the benefits of this outweigh the cost of making it enough to stick around.
Maybe they should arm wrestle about it.
