  • Iran offers to sell weapons systems for crypto

  • Just when you’re celebrating the collapse of your enemy, you realize that all their armaments are hitting the secondary or black markets, going into who-knows-whose hands. Same thing happened with the breakup of the USSR. Nukes were “lost.”

  • They went through a very public divestment of the company from all the “family” centric hate groups. The owners still donate to them personally but the company’s charitable giving arm does not.

    You could call them woke for “backing up” a gay marriage or you could say they chose not to go to the trouble of breaking heads over some gay marriage. I know the Trump era has emboldened the worst of us, but that doesn’t mean everyone is for sure willing to prove that their PR has been phony all along. They don’t have enough to gain.

  • When you opt out of super spreader family holiday events, get side-eyed but everyone else gets terribly sick

  • Vindicated, yes, but does seeing your whole family sick actually make you smile?

  • Rectal Oxygenation Could Save Your Life One Day

    Jump

  • I learned about this from an awesome Hank Green video about how life evolved to move out of the ocean onto land. Developing air breathing lungs was one step in that, and it appears that lungs developed from stomachs. Any soft tissue with a lot of blood flowing through it close to the surface can absorb some oxygen. Some fish began to develops such sacs and use them to gulp and capture airborne oxygen. And he notes that there are some surgeries today where they may “aspirate the patient’s colon” with oxygen to keep their blood oxygen up when conventional breathing must be supplemented. Breathing through your ass is in fact a thing.

  • Well, a lot of ways. You do it at the post office rather than at a polling place - this may be a critical difference for populations routinely underserved by few polling places with long lines. You can also submit a ballot that you carefully filled out at home with all your research materials next to you.

    It’s pretty obviously different. But I think what you are really saying is “I don’t want to have to go anywhere further than my own mailbox to vote.” And I’ll grant you it is less convenient than that. I know convenience always makes a difference, and for some people is actually more like accessibility. But if voting takes a little effort… just do it. I always drop mine off at my polling place rather than mail it. I like the ritual.

  • Don’t put any trust in any kind of top level domain, friend. They’ve never had much meaning.

  • Humans May Be Able to Grow New Teeth Within Just 4 Years

    Jump

  • Not only does it need to become possible, it needs to become more effective than other treatments like crowns and implants. I think it’s going to be a long time, and even then will only be applicable in limited cases for a long time, and will be really expensive.

  • Bay Area homeowners are hiring a sword-wielding man to help them kick squatters out of empty properties: ‘The average squatter has no melee experience’

    Jump

  • In theory. Long term vacancy is not in any corporate landlord’s plan, though. They will adjust rather than seek impossible rent forever. And aside from large apartment buildings, most residences (75% of 1-4 unit buildings) are owned by small landlords who don’t give a shit about network effects.

  • Having a dog can boost teenagers’ mental health, say scientists

    Jump

  • If you click on the article, what’s more interesting is how this might be occurring: through the shared microbiome. If there is such a mechanism to it, that’s definitely news.

  • Seems to me that plenty of homeless people have dogs.

  • The only way that happens is if the rent is too high.

    That’s not the only way. It’s not even very likely. If they are looking for too much rent and can’t get it they will lower their ask rather than sit there month after month getting nothing. Too high rent is the most easily fixable situation conceivable.

    Other explanations include things like: it’s owned by someone who is elderly and due to their health or other problem they simply aren’t managing it actively or are even incapacitated and can’t make major decisions. Perhaps the owner died and the property is in the probate courts, which can take years.

    Also, the presence of squatters doesn’t necessarily indicate it has been vacant for a long time.

  • A “strategically placed” incendiary device that is placed in your next door neighbor’s lot? Right over the fence from your own house? That doesn’t seem very strategic at all.

  • Yeah this is a case where some kind of HOA or city blight regulations would actually be a good thing.

  • If you have ANY Canadian ancestor, you are likely a Canadian citizen as a result of recent changes in Canadian law

  • If she is there and so are the kids, you probably have some kind of path to citizenship or at least residency, even if it is not immediate. Being the parent / guardian of a citizen is something to start with in most places, at least. But only if they are actually there.

    If there are no kids involved and you are no longer married, I would guess that you have nothing to work with.
