The effects of air pollution on peoples' health are so stark that it only took one week after the closure of a coal coking plant in Pittsburgh for nearby cardiovascular ER visits to drop by 42%. #climate #climatechange #ClimateCrisis https://insideclimatenews.org/news/13082023/when-a-steel-plant-closed-in-pittsburgh-cardiovascular-er-visits-plunged/?utm_source=InsideClimate+News&utm_campaign=e3c5e4789c-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2023_08_19_01_00&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_29c928ffb5-e3c5e4789c-329642993

Hi there!

I have recently changed my name and have updated my apple ID to reflect that, however I've noticed that developer.apple.com/account still lists my old name.

Would it be possible to please change your records to include my updated name (and gender, if listed), as follows:

Name: ${NAME}
Gender: ${GENDER}

Best regards
${NAME}

I've mentioned this but I'm gonna make a real post.

Some autistic people find making phone calls extremely stressful and unpleasant and will avoid them at all costs.

Please don’t try and force your communication preferences on others.

here's a good perspective on the general strikes in france and the eternal question "why don't we do this in the united states?"

my one gripe is that they fail to discuss the outsized role of police militarization in quashing dissent. people don't do shit like this in america because american cops are gun-covered fascists with tanks

The Irony. ClearSpace-1 Couldn't Clean up Space Debris Because its Target Already Got hit by Space Debris, Creating Even More Space Debris.

The European Space Agency's ClearSpace-1 satellite was zeroing in on the spent payload adaptor from a 2013 rocket launch. Its task would be to extend arms, grab the chunk of debris, hug it tightly, and then pull it back into the Earth's atmosphere, de-orbiting and removing it from low-Earth orbit. On August 10th, mission controllers detected multiple pieces of space debris near its target - debris that was probably dislodged from it in the recent past. They're now scrutinizing the situation to plan their next step in the mission.

My son and I made a quick run to the Puget Sound seaside to take advantage of the 20 meter band this morning. Sitting here in Seattle we made a contact in the Czech Republic using less power than you'd use to light a lightbulb. #hamradio #amateurradio #ft8
