Will Cancer Prove to be Another Weapon in Israel's War in Gaza?
"When the Second Battle of Fallujah, part of America’s nightmarish war in Iraq, ended in December 2004, the embattled city was a toxic warzone, contaminated with munitions, depleted uranium (DU), and poisoned dust from collapsed buildings. Not surprisingly, in the years that followed, cancer rates increased almost exponentially there."

Ok, internet detective squad, help a sister out. This poster hangs in the office of a friend’s wife. So far, none of us have been able to discern its meaning. Reverse image search has been of no help. The puzzle solving part of my brain is screaming at me because I know I’m missing something so obvious I will be embarrassed when it is revealed. So, embarrass me already!
I have STRONG opinions about the IB program, as implemented in Ontario. But it's still much much better than the bullshit that's AP in the US.
My daughter did AP, and I thought it was going to be like the A levels. But instead, it was an insane workload, and when talking to universities, not a single one counted it as college credit, which was the whole "selling" point of the classes. She was so burned out by the experience I had a really hard time keeping her from dropping out of school entirely. I have strong opinions about the AP program. ;)

“Contemplation” (2018) by Powerfaith
This track leans hard into the Christian side of Naga rock—no surprise, since Nagaland is the most Baptist place on Earth. But what makes it special is how it weaves in touches of indigenous melody and rhythm, folding that heritage right into the rock foundation. It’s faith-driven, but still unmistakably Naga.

Pro tip: leave it at home
"As detailed in a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed study, coauthors Petter Törnberg, AI and social media assistant professor, and research assistant Maik Larooij simulated a social media platform that was populated entirely by AI chatbots, powered by OpenAI's GPT-4o large language model, to see if there was anything we could do to stop social media from turning into echo chambers.
They tested out six specific intervention strategies — including switching to chronological news feeds, boosting diverse viewpoints, hiding social statistics like follower counts, and removing account bios — to stop the platform from turning into a polarized hellscape.
To their dismay, none of the interventions worked to a satisfactory degree, and only some showed modest effects. Worse yet, as Ars Technica reports, some of them made the situation even worse.
For instance, ordering the news feed chronologically reduced attention inequality but floated extreme content to the top.
It's a sobering reality that flies in the face of companies' promises of constructing a "digital town square" — as billionaire and X owner Elon Musk once called it — where everybody coexists peacefully.
With or without intervention, social media platforms may be doomed to devolve into a highly polarized breeding ground for extremist thinking."

"Sept. 4 (UPI) -- A Danish wind power company filed suit against the President Donald Trump administration Thursday seeking to reverse a stop-work order on its nearly completed Revolution Wind project off the coast of New England. ....
"The offshore wind farm is 80% complete and was expected to begin operations next year. It has 65 turbines, would have a production capacity of 704 megawatts and would give off enough power for more than 350,000 homes across Rhode Island and Connecticut."

Finally managed to stack this , it's scary being up there. Can't even stand up yet and probably need to re-level everything. It's awesome to see it built even as a first test .. going to try at least standing on this , we will see how far I get before I move to prototype 2, will probably make a concrete pad so that it's super level..
