Nice data.

I was curious, per this, it looks like compared to an electric car:

• a petrol train has about 20% lower emissions.
• an electric train is about 90% lower emissions.

They are so proud to be rat free since 1950… but gophers

Seems well written. Lots of references.

Maybe not the most meaningful but quite interesting:

In perhaps the most eerie parallel yet between the US in 2025 and 1930s-era Germany, the Trump administration has severed the subscriptions of several government agencies to journals owned by Springer Nature, one of the world’s most successful and prestigious scientific publishing groups. At least two agencies, the Department of Energy and the Department of Agriculture, are terminating all such contracts, criticizing their politics as “woke” and “corrupt.” This echoes a ban of that very same publisher, and their flagship journal Nature, from all German libraries beginning in 1937 and lasting through the end of World War II.

Wow, TIL.

The platypus’s mammary glands lack teats, with milk released through pores in the skin. The milk pools in grooves on the mother’s abdomen, allowing the young to lap it up.[16][71] After they hatch, the offspring are milk-fed for three to four months.

Some schadenfreude for France.

Now I’m walking with feet, she keeps her young in a bag.

Wow, he just made smoke. And she’s tamed a stag.

Now they invented a cure for when my stomach is sick.

And there’s math in my head, and she’s discovered the Higgs.

I think I was wrong originally. My current understanding is that they did deliberately disadvantage pregnant woman: https://lemmy.world/comment/17597987

Oh so I didn’t understand it correctly. Thank you for pointing it out. The difference between pregnant woman and everyone else is when the 90% pay kicks in.

So in general, people get 100% pay the first day of sick leave and 90% every day following.

They made a special carve-out for pregnant women so they get 90% on the first day.

Yeah that’s shitty to go out of your way to hurt pregnant woman.

If I understand correctly (I didn’t), everyone got the cut to 90% except woman on maternity leave and pathological pregnancy. They are upset that if a pregnant woman otherwise takes sick time, they will see the 90% pay like everyone else.

The headline made it sound like women were getting 90% pay for the entire pregnancy.
