  • Israeli military rescues four hostages alive from Gaza, including Noa Argamani

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, the alternate option was not "let them stay hostage a while longer". It was "let the hostages die". And maybe that would have been the more ethical call. But let's not delude ourselves that they could have been kept alive any other way.

  • Update: IRS successfully launches their own free Direct File - now ALL of my fellow 'murcans are eligible for 2025

  • Does Arizona not have an online free system? Illinois has a very hand-holding guided set of questions and has for years, it's always been our federal taxes that make my head hurt to fill out via the IRS's FreeFillableForms site.

  • Texas doctor who said nine-year-olds can safely give birth appointed to maternal mortality committee

  • Her son died of cancer as a young adult. I have wondered if the abdominal xray while she was pregnant contributed to that.

  • Dragon Fruit Love

  • The photo setup leaning in to the kitten looking like a dragon (eating dragonfruit) is awesome.

  • Modern industrial farming is not sustainable for the next hundred years, no, but there are a lot of levers to work to transform it into something that will reliably feed future generations.

    One lever is amount and kind of meat in the average diet. It takes something like seven pounds of grain to make one pound of beef. Modern chicken breeds are amazingly efficient at converting feed grain to chicken meat, but even they are something like two pounds in to one pound out. Reducing the percent of meat in our diets would make our food go significantly further.

  • The plants use energy from the sun to turn carbon dioxide from the air into edible calories. When our animal bodies "burn" the food we eat, that turns it back to carbon dioxide, which we exhale.

  • We have found it.

    Jump

  • The energy input is the sun, and most of the calories come from the air (carbon dioxide). Given so much external input, harvesting from a plot without reducing soil fertility is totally possible. With nitrogen-fixing crops (soybeans being the poster child), even the nitrogen fertilizer comes from the air.

  • Netanyahu snaps back against growing US criticism after being accused of losing his way on Gaza, says Israel won't stop until 'total victory' is achieved

  • Technically correct is the best kind of correct

  • Trans youth will no longer be prescribed puberty blockers, NHS England says

  • It reduces bone density. Not to unhealthy levels in teens, but there are concerns the lower baseline will increase osteoporosis risk when the patients get to old age.

    They can also only be used for a couple of years. Some non-binary people want to be on them permanently, but doctors won't prescribe that. Some kids want more time to decide, and unfortunately there isn't anything safe to use through the full teenage years.

  • Residential rules: Balcony cat nets are not allowed, however trellises on balcony are? [Semi-long]

  • What a heartless attitude to value their aesthetic preferences over the safety of your pets. (Adorable pets as we can tell from the cat tax!) And good on you and your neighbor to go through all that research, and inquiries, and installation work (not to mention navigating the negative social interactions with that board) to provide your cats with the best environment. I can understand how with all that investment in the current setup why the neighbor would get attached to it.

    They could have avoided all this by just doing their own research and offering some safe alternative to cat safety, working with you guys, instead of going power hungry and heartless. Thanks for sharing your successful 'compliance'!
