I took a video of a crane lifting an a/c chiller to the roof of a building a week ago, and my nephew was captivated by the video. He even has a toy crane the same color (yellow).

if you missed it yesterday, laws that legalise gay marriage and access to abortion in Northern Ireland are now confirmed to take effect in early 2020. The legal chicanery that was needed to get those laws in place mean most news articles stray from the Happy Thread vibe, but previously abortion in NI was governed by the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act, so change is welcome and long overdue.

Scientists have trained rats to drive tiny cars to collect food

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2220721-scientists-have-trained-rats-to-drive-tiny-cars-to-collect-food/



quote:

Learning to drive seemed to relax the rats. The researchers assessed this by measuring levels of two hormones: corticosterone, a marker of stress, and dehydroepiandrosterone, which counteracts stress. The ratio of dehydroepiandrosterone to corticosterone in the rats’ faeces increased over the course of their driving training.

This finding echoes Lambert’s previous work showing that rats become less stressed after they master difficult tasks like digging up buried food. They may get the same kind of satisfaction as we get when we perfect a new skill, she says. “In humans, we call this self-efficacy or agency.”

Hell yeah. A friend of mine who I haven't seen in like 10 years is coming to visit me tonight. I sent her a text out of the middle of nowhere telling her that weed was gonna be cheap in her state because of a recent law in Oregon and she told me she was like 30 minutes from my place. I said to come crash here instead of sleeping in her car and she's on her way here now. Her nickname is Commie and she fuckin rocks.

I know that's super lame compared to some of the happy thread stuff but Commie is one of my best friends from high school. We both moved out to the west coast after a lil bit after high school but we're both poor as gently caress and haven't been able to make the trip to see each other. She's on her way down to LA for a class and is driving right by my town, fuckin perfect timing to hit her up.

when I was 12 years old my older teenage brother was arrested for murder and sentenced to 25 years in prison.

with good behavior and lots of hard work, my brother got his sentence reduced, and after 19 years he is finally sitting in the car next to my mother, and they are on their way to his probation officer to get a document signed, and then he is coming home to live with our mother, free and safe and sound.

this is a very big, very emotional day for my family. I live with my younger brother and his wife, I moved down South a few years ago so that we could be closer to his prison and be a family again after many years of estrangement, and today is the day.

as a family, as a unit, no one single day has occupied more of our time or energy, all of our plans for the future begin and end with my brother coming home, and in just a few hours we’ll all be at my mom’s condo, together.

So yeah, anywhere from more than half to exactly half his life in jail.

Rudy Giuliani butt dialed a reporter and possibly left a voicemail of his conversation about a bribe and more political interference.

quote:

“You know, Charles would have a hard time with a fraud case 'cause he didn’t do any due diligence,” he said at the start. Then, he said, “I gotta get you to get on Bahrain.”

Shortly after that, Giuliani asked if “Robert” was around. A man replied that he was in Turkey. Giuliani responded, “The problem is we need some money” and then added, “We need a few hundred thousand.”

The rest of the call was difficult to make out, Schapiro wrote. He said during an appearance on MSNBC that he had “no idea what he’s talking about with regard to Charles and Bahrain.” “The recording is muffled so it’s difficult to discern exactly what they’re talking about,” Schapiro said on MSNBC. “But it’s certainly intriguing, and I can tell you I did not go to sleep that night expecting to wake up that morning with a three-minute voice mail from Rudolph W. Giuliani.”

He reached out to Giuliani afterward, he said, but had “yet to receive an intentional or an unintentional call back.”

Giuliani has not returned calls from The Post, either, as of late — although Post reporters, too, have received the occasional butt dial from him.
