Britain’s long-term borrowing costs reached their highest level since 1998 this morning due to investor concerns over the country’s economic outlook, piling pressure on Chancellor Rachel Reeves ahead of her autumn budget. Britain pays higher interest on its debt than any other G7 country, thanks to persistent inflation and rising public borrowing.
They're all totally wedded to neoliberal dogma in spite of being a sovereign country with a Fiat currency. Create money, Invest in... Housing... Education... NHS... Poor areas outside metro areas... RAISE TAXES on the rich, their incomes, their financial transactions, their investments, their legacies. Use the tax money so raised to control inflation. Ignore Neoliberal 'markets'. With a Fiat currency the gum'mint do not have to 'borrow' from them. Read Richard Murphy.

Da diverse settimane si parla molto del gioco #paprium per #sega , ma la domanda che mi pongo è? Con una potenza hardware aggiunta all’interno della cartuccia , possiamo ancora vederlo come un gioco per #megadrive oppure trattasi un gioco , graficamente stupendo , ma per una console superiore . Fino a quando possiamo dire che si tratta di un gioco per retro console , quale sarebbe il limite se esiste? Espansione memoria? Chip audio , chip grafici ? Foto prese da internet @giochi

2020 Norway became the first country in the world where annual sales of all-electric cars outsold the combined volume of all passenger cars with internal combustion engines.
The adoption and deployment of zero emission vehicles in Norway has been driven by policy, and actively supported by the government since the 1990s.[25] In addition to non-monetary incentives, all-electric cars and vans are exempt from all non-recurring vehicle fees, including purchase taxes, and 25% VAT on purchase, making electric car purchase price competitive with conventional cars.

Mein Mann bringt Annalena nach der Kita zu meine Eltern. Ich solle mich "zurecht machen" da wir Besuch bekommen werden. Mein Body Count ist kurz vor 100 und ich solle es bis ende des Jahres schaffen. Ich kenne diese Männer nicht. Nach der Arbeit, werde ich baden, rasieren und mich überall eincremen. Ich weiß nur nicht wie ich sie empfangen soll, so vielleicht?
Das Bild zeigt eine Frau in einem monochromen Stil. Sie steht in einem Raum, der wie ein Wohnzimmer aussieht, mit einem weißen Sofa im Hintergrund. Die Frau trägt schwarze Spitzenunterwäsche und schwarze, hochhackige Stiefel mit Öffnungen. Sie hält einen knitterigen, grauen Pullover über ihren Schultern, der offen ist. Ihre Hände sind an den Seiten des Pullovers, und sie lächelt leicht in die Kamera. Die Umgebung ist hell und freundlich, mit einem offenen Türrahmen im Hintergrund, der auf ein weiteres Zimmer hinweist.

"The Trump administration has given notice that political appointees, rather than scientists, will ultimately decide who gets grant money from the world’s largest biomedical research funder — the federal government’s National Institutes of Health."
The National Institutes of Health’s long-held standard of peer review for grantmaking has been subverted by President Donald Trump and NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, who gave unprecedented power to politicos, NIH workers say.

For the record, at least one representative of the anti-sustainability Right Wing™️ either believes there isn't enough solar energy to cover the world's needs, or is willing to lie about it even though anyone with half a brain (or a slightly un-bubbled SoMe feed) can easily find out the truth...
The image is a three-panel comic strip set on a beach. In the first panel, a man wearing blue swim trunks with white cloud patterns and a black sun visor is walking on the sand, holding a green towel and a small brown dog. He is talking on the phone and says, "Je ziet niets door zonnescherm zwarte maar hij staat wel cool," which translates to "You can't see anything through the black sun visor, but he looks cool."
In the second panel, the man continues walking, still on the phone, and says, "Zie je wel! Iedereen kijkt naar me," meaning "Do you see that! Everyone is looking at me." The dog is now walking ahead of him.
In the third panel, the man is standing on a beach ball, which is labeled "POMP DUF," and he says, "En dat voor maar 10 euro," translating to "And that for only 10 euros." The dog is now sitting on the beach ball, and the man appears to be surprised. The background shows a beach with other people, some in the water and others on the sand, with a clear blue sky and a sun visible in the first panel.

The image depicts an airport tarmac on a rainy day with low visibility. In the foreground, there are two white ground service vehicles with "Jetstar" branding, one of which is towing a baggage cart. The tarmac is wet, reflecting the overcast sky. In the background, several airplanes are parked at the gates, with one prominently displaying a red and white tail. The weather conditions, characterized by rain and mist, create a hazy atmosphere, reducing visibility. The overall scene is quiet, with no visible personnel or activity, suggesting a moment of inactivity or a slow period at the airport.

PSA, drug safety, psychonaut wiki journal app broken on purpose, really fucking bad.
Sensitive content
if you're using psychonaut wiki journal and have it installed through any app store, immediately turn off automatic updates and do not update to version 12.0 (android, no idea what the situation is for apple devices).
whoever is maintaining the app just pushed an update that puts its core functionality behind a paywall: "you can continue to log your 3 most used substances. get premium to log more substances."
this immediately puts users in serious danger without any warning or a convenient way to go back. many could be suddenly finding themselves unable to log substance intake while relying on it for their safety, whether for recreational substances or prescription medication.
it's difficult to describe how irresponsible and stupid it is to roll out such an update. while it might not bother a casual weed user, it will immediately affect anyone trying to log an ingestion of a rarely-used, high-risk substance *precisely because the only way to use it safely is to strictly limit intake over time and take tolerance breaks*, so it probably won't make the top 3 list. the last fucking thing you want to do in a moment like this is fumbling with a paywall and trying to log the ingestion somewhere else to not forget about it. if they even have the means to pay immediately, that is, which many marginalized drug users might not.
the "get premium" screen says it's "free for anyone who can't afford it" asking to email the author, which would be nice if it wasn't way too late for anyone who already got the update and just took something they need to log.
fuck this nonsense, time to look for a decent fork/replacement.
currently waiting for that dose of lisdex to hit to have the executive function to do an export/downgrade/import, so I can actually log it. half-expecting them to have changed the data export format to make it more difficult or some bullshit like this.

Hier à la capoeira mon cardio a laissé tomber à mi-chemin. Il faut vraiment que je me fasse pousser de plus grosses artères. Mais j'ai continué comme je pouvais. On a dit au revoir à une élève qui déménage et change de groupe (ouin) et je suis revenue en courant au lieu de manger les muffins à la framboise qu'elle avait préparé. 4 min de moins sur le trajet de 3,5 km par rapport à ma tentative de mardi. Que foutais mon cardio pendant le cours du coup? J'ai vraiment un diesel à la place du cœur.

I only just found out about prose.sh and I think this is what I’ve been looking for, for a long time. I enjoy writing and sharing experiences and this seems to keep things super simple.
A look underneath the water’s surface can be fun and informative! However, making a device to go under the surface poses challenges with communication and water proofing. That’s what this rubber band powered submarine by [PeterSripol] attempts to fix!
The greatest challenge of building such a submersible was the active depth control system. The submarine is slightly negatively buoyant so that once the band power runs out, it returns to the surface. Diving is controlled by pitch fins, which will pitch downward under the torque applied by the rubber bands. Once the rubber band power runs out, elastic returns the fins to their natural pitch up position encouraging surfacing of the submarine. However, this results in uncontrolled dives and risks loss of the submersible.
Therefore, a float to deflect the fins when a certain depth was reached. Yet this proved ineffective, so a final solution of electronic depth control was implemented. While this may not be in the spirit of a rubber band powered submarine, it is technically still rubber band powered.
After a prototype with a single rubber band holder, a second version which uses a gearbox and three rubber band inputs was implemented which provides approximately 10 minutes of run time. An electronic failure resulted in the submarine’s failure of its final wild test, but the project was nonetheless a fun look at elastic powering a submersible.
The image depicts a large, stylized centipede-like creature with a segmented body, featuring a reddish-brown coloration with yellow accents on its legs and tail. The creature has a prominent head with two large, claw-like appendages, resembling pincers, and a pair of antennae. Its body is elongated, with numerous pairs of legs, each ending in sharp, pointed claws. The creature is positioned on a wooden surface, which appears weathered and textured, suggesting an outdoor or rustic setting. The overall appearance is highly detailed and somewhat fantastical, with a glossy finish that enhances its menacing and otherworldly look.
