I like the part where Dr Grant just looks dead straight into the camera and in a serious tone says ‘There are dinosaurs here. There are dinosaurs in this Jurassic Park’.

Sure, but that’s not my decision to make. The ask was for other communities that are not politics focused. If people want to gather in one of those over another, that’s their choice not mine. I just listed some I’m aware of, that’s all.

Luckily we can do both. Push for better air quality, but don’t dismiss achievements that happen in other areas at the same time.

Some of these communities are more active than others, so if you do find them interesting/valuable please post.

Exactly. You’re not missing anything. This is just an example of typical media headline bullshit.

Johnson’s memoir came out in the U.K. on October 10 but is expected to arrive in Brussels only later Monday. Waterstones’ only shops outside the U.K. are in Amsterdam, Brussels and several Irish towns.

The delay means that European officials will have to wait another few hours to fact-check Johnson’s claims about the Brexit negotiations and his (at times difficult) relationship with EU leaders.

So it’s delayed, not actually ‘not on sale’.

Well, can they?

Give her a medal

The developer of Thorium (a Chromium based browser) has stated they intent to maintain older functionality for as long they’re able.

Most likely you’re correct, but I was basing my assumption from the following:

However, the Port Authority of NSW said no oil spills had been reported by vessels.

Time may tell I guess…

Natural undersea oil leak somewhere?

All of which should be done by human beings. Period.

Currently, maybe. But technology is fantastic at accuracy, better than humans in many regards. Gemini might have a way to go before it gets there, but it or its successors will get there and it’s moving fast.

Productivity is irrelevant here

I’m not sure it is. Productivity also refers to efficiency of services. If AI can make the services of the National Archives more productive for its staff and/or the public then surely that’s a good thing?

This rapid growth means nearly 70 countries – representing 80% of global renewable power capacity – are on track to meet or even exceed their current renewable energy goals for 2030.

Amazing!

How can we protect something we don’t understand and don’t value?

I’m not sure I agree with the concept that if you don’t understand something you don’t value it. Someone can value a walk in the park without understanding the names of the various plants etc. Don’t conflate accidental ignorance with willful ignorance.

Maybe they should turn that mirror on themselves. Take a long look at the ‘non decent humans’ within their own ranks:

This initiative calls on the European Commission to establish a European tax on great wealth. This would contribute to the Union’s own resources, and the revenue would make it possible to amplify and perpetuate European ecological and social transition and development cooperation policies, cofunded by the Member States. The contribution would be used to combat climate change and inequality and would help to ensure that European citizens pay their fair share towards achieving these objectives.
