Futurology Today

Hello, am looking for a recommendation for a semi burner phone for travel. Features I would like to have are: decent vendor support (that is, software updates), relatively inexpensive (cheap enough so that if it gets stolen or confiscated by porcine law enforcement I won’t be too sad) but nice enough to keep as a daily driver, physical SIM card, ok camera for travel photos. I am currently leaning towards the Pixel 9a but at $499 USD that is pushing a bit against affordability. Any suggestions?

I know this might be basic and somewhat cliché, but for some reason, virtually every time I see a rifle from the AK-100 series some small part of my brain yearns to collect every one of them.

This also extends to the Izmash Tigr ((:

The AK-200 series is also a very strong contender, but I don't know how many of the SNAFUs of the AK-12 it shares.

However, for various reasons and considering my mental health record I'm virtually unable to legally own firearms in Germany in the first place.

Additionally, I suppose all the mentioned rifles have either become hard to get and/or exceedingly expensive, because of sanctions and such.

sadge indeed 😔

Most likely I'll just join one of the culturally more modern Air gun associations (Schützenverein) that's not too far away from me...

Given that EM serves as a lense into our homes, would this provide an effective counter measure??

I heard that a bombing spree had "finally knocked most Palestinians off the internet"

Line figure. Probably should have brought something other than my phone as a straight to edge.

Evidence that climate change harms public health is “beyond scientific dispute,” the independent National Academy of Sciences said Wednesday in response to the Trump administration’s efforts to revoke a landmark U.S. government finding to that effect that underpins key environmental regulations.

The NAS, a non-governmental nonprofit set up to advise the government on science, said human activity is releasing greenhouse gases that are warming the planet, increasing extreme temperatures and changing the oceans, all dangerous developments for the health and welfare of the United States public. Evidence to that effect has only grown stronger since 2009, the group said.

In July, the Trump administration proposed revoking what’s known as the 2009 “endangerment” finding, the concept that climate change is a threat. Overturning it could pave the way for cutting a range of rules that limit pollution from cars, power plants and other sources.

Es ist anstrengend sich immer neuen Leuten outen zu müssen.

The Pentagon’s political correctness campaign could affect dozens of enlisted troops and officers, according to one insider.
