See those “pinch points”? The river will eventually form meander cutoffs, and become a sinuous system rather than a meandering river. This will lead to localized increases in channel slope (due to a reduction in channel length), and therefore increased local velocities, shear stress, and sediment transport.

Rivers are always seeking equilibrium, so the channel will actually start to move (bank erosion / lateral shifting) to reduce that localized slope and bring things back in order.

Rivers are so fucking cool.

The American Prospect has some really good recent articles about this. We’ve entered a new age of personal pricing. Companies have so much data on us that the price that I see when I visit a website is no longer necessarily the price that you see.

My Asus zenbook, purchased in 2015, is still going strong. They’re pretty affordable and at least from my experience have held up well. I’m pretty sure you can run Linux on them too.

Fun fact - this is why Mr. Burns always answers the phone with “ahoy”

Democracy Now is my main source

I also listen to NPR to hear what narratives the state department is pushing

Random fact - UK’s pledged about $12 Billion to the Ukraine proxy war

“now been hijacked”?

Been a long time since once could say Dems are an anti-war party with a straight face

Ho Chi Minh City:

• Man Tu Vegan - Wonderful vegan buffet, pay what you want style

Hanoi:

• Temple of Literature
• Đồng Xuân Market
• Ho Chi Minh Museum

In general, eat lots of street food. When crossing streets, don’t stop midway, the motorbikes will go around you.

lol this comment is a great example of a lib grasping for a weak explanation instead of criticizing Hillary Clinton.

Biden: “I am running out of patience due to your actions”

Bibi: “Give me more weapons so I can do it again”

Biden: “Ok”

Just follow the Bogle strategy. Low fee index funds.

Myth of Sisyphus helped me through a lotta shit in my early 20’s

I don’t usually respond to meme posts, but this is great

Got any links to help me learn about building media boxes?

Remember what it was like before you were born? It’s like that

Easy. Threaten them. Remove them from committees. Cut their funding from DNC. Many many things could have been done.

You would learn more if instead of asking “what could they have done” but instead asking “why didn’t they do anything”.

They didn’t do anything.
