Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

Someone found an really clever way to estimate deaths on Russian side. Worked out about 50k at the time of the figures. So this war is really costly on both sides militarily , plus all the civilians too. Infrastructure etc.

Sort of wish I hadn't read that. It's fucking horrific poor lassie.

Looking more depends on definitions of southern europe Also a forecast not actual temps. So we only know after how hot it was.

It is looking bad at the moment... By the end of the week, it is likely that 15 days just this month will have breached an unprecedented global temperature threshold — a clarion wakeup call in the form of extreme weather. Why it matters: Nearly every facet of the climate system is flashing red this summer, from record-low sea ice extent in Antarctica to hot tub-like ocean waters surrounding South Florida, and all-time high temperature records set in multiple countries on at least three continents. Already this month, 14 days have recorded surface air temperatures greater than 17°C (62.6°F) — spikes that have not been seen for roughly 125,000 years. In fact, Wednesday marked the 17th straight day with global temperatures hotter than any prior days on record. https://www.axios.com/2023/07/20/world-heat-wave-records-us-europe-china

Not really the end as such but we're going to have hundreds of millions of people mass migrating. The weather was being "suppressed" the last couple of years due to el nina, now el nino is in effect it is being boosted. There's folk thinking it is a hoax or solar activity. There's loads of shit going on with it. My dinner is ready though so maybe type out more shit later

It's mostly part of an insane culture war thing about identity , folk going on about litter boxes in schools etc. Inane drivel. However the culture wars are used as a divisive tactic in the same way. This is ridiculous enough to count as a specific deat cat one i guess.

I only have an account so i can read stuff. Never used to have one when I could read stuff without one.

Some amount of cats in schools around the UK these days

In about 2 minutes, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is set to launch its Chandrayaan 3 Moon lander on July 14, Friday at 14:35 IST (09:05 UTC). If successful, this will be the first-ever controlled landing at a high latitude (~69S 32E) on the Moon by any country/organisation.

Obviously hard to tell but it's been a huge sudden jump, el nino has started now so obviously that affects sea temperatures. Many factors in play, like less pollution so the albedo of the atmosphere less so more sunlight getting down. We're heading for a year that is way above even a couple of standard deviations. Whether this is a statistical anomaly or the way things are going to be moving forward is a huge question.

It's more global temperatures than a parochial outlook.

Hottest June on record, just had an average of 17C for a day recorded as well for the first time as well. So hottest day.

I've never read wings, way back when he was very popular on here getting linked all the time in the early 2010's I never read him. I have seen some crazy stuff last 24 hours while briefly reading a reddit post, someone trying to say she is the same as Sunak etc. Politics does funny things to people.

I like Mhairi Black. Least she is not trying to be career politician which is something i dont like.

Got to love how journalists self-insert shit I know this isn't the main point of the article just stuck out when you read the actual article.

Analyzing the mistakes OceanGate made that led to the vessel’s disappearance, critics told reporters Thursday that the submersible should have been tested with poorer passengers first. “The company skipped the very crucial step of sending five lower-class people to the bottom of the ocean to make sure it was safe enough for the wealthy,” said Otto Scofield, a member of the Marine Technology Society, adding that no one with a net worth above $50,000 should have been in the submersible https://www.theonion.com/also-i-shouldn-t-have-to-disclose-that-i-had-sex-with-1850566803

Absolutely and to be fair it's probably not far off the mark. It just gets brought up when you do planetary science topic. They've done a lot of research in these deep trenches for extremophiles (an organism that is able to live in extreme environments) to better aid the search for life elsehwere in the solar system like the Jupier moon missions that were just launched.

I think myth busters showed you what happens to something with a 1 atmosphere difference and how hard it implodes,crumples. It's still 10 tons per square meter roughly at 1 atmosphere (what we experience), well not really ton as that's a unit of mass and not force but that seems to be how they explain it. 10 tons in earths gravity would produce roughly the same force.

Not to get all technical but that quote is 70 years old and wrong. It's from a "famous" paper written in the 50's. Of course none of that negates the conditions that make extreme underwater exploration very difficult. I'd say ocean exploring is good, but not a tourism industry quite yet.

I'm sure someone else will have said this but juxtapose the coverage of this from say that boat where hundreds of refugees died.

22.7% turnout?

tbf that's probably the best attitude.
