Sidestepping is a pro move. FPS games were a lot more fun when I learned to strafe. It's only sensible that there would be species, such as the fierce crab, that never needed to do anything else.

i don't remember if i made this complaint before, but coming in late to the whole mandalorian thing, i was shocked by how bad the writing and acting was. all of the production touches somehow make it worth watching, but i'm still kind of surprised it actually found an audience

a lot of the dialogue is deliberately campy (carl weathers is the most obvious example), but carano was straight up a block of wood

i didn't mean to imply every actor was bad. carl weathers, giancarlo esposito, werner herzog the few times he shows up, they're great. but a huge chunk of the secondary and incidental characters are like people they dragged off of local access and put in better costumes

man in one year in this country we've had an utterly failed response to a global pandemic, a historic economic collapse, the clearest undermining of the bed rock of our political system yet, and obscured by it all, the clear demonstration that our infrastructure can not handle the phase of climate change we are entering

earlier today i was talking with my sister and the topic of memorized poetry happened to come up. i lamented that the only poem i have even a slight grasp on is 'the second coming' by yeats, because it so often feels relevant. afterwards i read about the people dying from carbon monoxide poisoning and requests for refrigerated corpse trucks in texas

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

Nah, this is pretty much entirely because Texas is an anti-regulatory infra hellhole on everything from zoning to building codes to energy.

It's true that (despite their assurances to the contrary) Texas is part of the united states. Particularly on the subject of infra and climate change, texas is not remotely representative of the US as a whole.

increasing peak temperature intensity and duration throughout the entire southwest is stressing the grid in southern california during heatwaves, recently to the point that demand began to outstrip supply. sustained drought conditions have increased the risks of high intensity, fast moving fires associated with high wind events throughout the state, and grid operators feel that their only option to avoid liability is to shutdown transmission lines. like the current crisis in texas, a large portion of the problem is extreme weather events moving outside of the baseline the system was designed to cope with, and whatever steps we are taking to modernize have not caught up. the reason why extreme weather events are becoming more severe and more common is due to climate change

the ways in which texas is not prepared for this situation reflects the ways in which society fails under strain everywhere in the US every time an "unprecedented" yet predictable catastrophe exposes the lack of preparedness. this failure mirrors the failure of the US to handle COVID or white supremacist terror or gun violence

we will find ancient human bones on antarctica in time, and deep under the permfrost at the north pole. it will vindicate many people's sense of permanence, and lead to new theories of humanity and human evolution that hopefully won't result in a world war or mass genocide

5000 years of cartography.

quote:

Antarctica is the coldest of Earth's continents. It was ice-free until about 34 million years ago, when it became covered with ice.



So, what is more likely:

1) Ancient China somehow mapped a continent under several kilometres of ice

2) It's bullshit
