https://www.texastribune.org/2022/11/23/texas-oil-export-terminal-approval-biden-climate/


quote:

The Biden administration has approved plans to build the nation’s largest oil export terminal off the Gulf Coast of Texas, which would add 2 million barrels per day to the U.S. oil export capacity.

The approval by the Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration was filed in the federal register on Monday without any public announcement, a day after the United Nations’ annual climate conference wrapped up in Sharm el-Sheik, Egypt.

Earthworks, an environmental nonprofit, spotted the filing and publicized approval of the Sea Port Oil Terminal on Tuesday.





Just the most progressive president in history folks. Progressively exporting more and more oil that is.

The United States has no strategic interest in reducing global energy supply. None whatsoever. Any possible problems are years down the line and will mostly be another administration's problem anyway and the next generation can solve it then.

FEATURE-Six million silenced: A two-year internet outage in Ethiopia

.........................

The only way to communicate is “via paper reports that need to be delivered by hand. All meetings have to be held in person”.

.....................

As the war between Ethiopian forces and rebels of the Oromo Liberation Army intensified over 2019 and 2020, residents used their phones when they could to alert each other to approaching fighting - until broadband and mobile internet shut down.

“Now it’s all a gamble - they leave it to God,” said Tolessa, who asked to use a pseudonym to protect his identity.

Ethiopia: Govt Prepares to Host UN Internet Forum Amid Tigray Blackout

The blackout in Tigray is not the only shutdown in Ethiopia. Communications have also been turned off in parts of Oromia, Ethiopia's largest region, where an armed group is battling the government.

Addis Ababa was left without internet for weeks in 2020, following a wave of violence that was sparked by the killing of a popular Oromo musician.

Felicia Anthonio, a manager at internet rights group Access Now, said the internet forum is an "opportunity" to highlight the blackout affecting Tigray.

I actually looked into this the last time you mentioned miswak. With a bit of microclimate manipulation we can push the envelop in our Zone 8 cool maritime climate and grow some cool stuff in a place it doesn't belong. Unfortunately while the average temperatures of our winters have been increasing the extremes have been getting more extreme. Excursions into -18o C territory every winter basically kills any edge cases that aren't in a heated greenhouse. Hanging incandescent Christmas lights on your hardy citrus up against a south wall isn't cutting it anymore.

At least one of our best figs is still trucking along in the new regime. The variety is frequently misspelled as "Dessert King" because desert?? here???


SniperWoreConverse posted:

there's a cool brand of herbal toothpaste that has no fluoride and is derived from extracts, so you can keep your plastic intake up and fluoride low. (The actual miswak tree has high fluoride concentrations.)


Is that a problem? I read an account once of the Indigenous people of the Amazon basin using high fluoride twigs to treat their teeth when they were young. Reportedly it stained their teeth for life but there was no tooth decay in the adults.

Good luck trying to tease out any health effects from high fluoride exposure in childhood from other effects due to colonization.

But we were told the Internet routes around damage. I guess strictly speaking it has, but it must suck to be in the country it routed around.

I love how this is phrased: If you're not a source, you're a sink. Like the sheep/ wolf dynamic.

edit: though I guess it would be a sink - I was thinking of plastic dispersion like osmosis, but freezing some amount in antarctic ice would 'permanently' take it out of circulation, so... :shrug:
