So he's not quite as "alpha" as he claimed, then?
Wow, I find that so surprising. Really.

@ratcatcher @ScottSoCal @AlisonW @veroalgoz @kacey @actuallyautistic OK, so I had to look that up...

Same difference as "rubber", and the Dutch/Flemish version of "poepen".

@ScottSoCal In terms of resources needed, PHEVs are better than BEVs. We should have pushed them much harder a decade ago. Now we're out of time.

@futurebird

Anyone who can say "both parties are the same" is lying or willfully not seeing what's in front of their face.

If you are a white leftist and you talk β€œboth parties are the same they are both capitalist” you will loose most of your black audience. I think it ought to be obvious that this isn’t because blackfolks love Democrats (in most cases, there is always someone being simple in any group) β€”no. it’s because the difference between the parties is material and obvious and these are unstable times.

When I hear such talk I wonder if the speaker is working on voter suppression.

The push for massive battery capacity is also to blame, when it really isn't necessary. I did a lot of my own, personal hand-wringing, and had almost talked myself into a plug-in hybrid, instead. Then I sat down and actually did the math. Any car with a range of 220 miles per charge will let me get back and forth to work for a week, and keep within the 80%-40% range recommended for battery health. I don't need any more than that.

I reminded her that *all* cars are getting bigger and heavier. So many people drive an SUV or a full-size truck, both of which just keep getting bigger and heavier every year. If people are concerned about cars being to heavy and dangerous, then let's make some regulations about *all cars* instead of just hand wringing about them new fangled EVs.

I prefer in-ear, because they're better at blocking noise, but I'm one of those people "gifted" with a lot of ear wax, so they can be a problem, and I have to clean the silicone tips every time I use them.

I heard from a few people on the spectrum that they hate everything in-ear, so now I wanna know from you, #ActuallyAutistic community, do you like or dislike in-ear headphones / ear plugs? Why?

Haven't watched it, but might since you brought it up. I'll have to wait for a time I think I have the energy.

@tobi

And here I am, in SoCal, rejoicing in the 2nd sunny day of June, so far. It still won't break 70F, though.

I AM TIRED AND TOO WARM, I WAS PROMISED THUNDER STORMS, WHERE IS MY RAIN?????

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) uncovered a Kyiv-based IT company that attempted to illegally transfer confidential information from the electronic systems of the frontline OVA to representatives of the Donetsk People's Republic (DNR) terrorist organization. The investigation revealed that the company had granted access to the databases to its colleagues from the temporarily occupied part of the region, who were posing as employees of the company's Donetsk branch. If successful, the offenders would have been able to regularly leak information from the OVA. The perpetrators of this crime face up to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property.

The Ukrainian kickboxing champion Maksym Bordus tragically passed away in the war on June 11, as reported by the Sports Committee of Ukraine Angels of Sport. He was killed by an enemy shell during intense fighting against Russian invaders. Eternal memory and glory to the Hero!

Anti-trans bills across the country have the ability to negatively affect nearly every facet of trans and nonbinary people’s lives, from free speech to health care access to protections against discrimination, to name a few.

And now I'm craving both! My motto of the momo is Don't limit yourself

But I feel exactly the same way about the ads observation. Seems I can just think of or imagine a thing and it's suddenly all over my online activity? Scary!

Now, every time he goes outside to use the potty (we have a doggy door and fenced-in yard), he races inside to the love seat nearest the kitchen for his treat. It's adorable to watch. Smiling and wagging that bushy tail.
