Back in the 1960's Texas looked at pumping water from the Mississippi River to the Texas Panhandle.
It'd "only" have taken 12 megawatt atomic reactors working full time to supply the power....
People say if we can pipe oil we can pipe water, but it takes a **LOT** more water to do anything than it does oil, so it isn't the same at all.
Mastodon is still a bit too short to really post recipes too. Maybe I'll blog my cooking and link to that?
@GinnyMcQueen I am, though I'm a bit quiet since mostly I tweeted politics and I'm sort of at a loss as to what to post here since politics is less welcome.
Watched Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them yesterday.
Not bad, just not all that great. More focus on effects than plot. And bleh, Johnny Depp.
I don't know, white people. Have you been to a BLM meeting? Have you tried helping the SPLC? Have you contacted your local homeless shelters/places of worship/schools and asked what you can do to help? Have you read a damn book by a PoC this year?
Stop pretending like you can't know how to make shit better for PoC and instead get out there and figure it out.
You act like PoC are silent when they are screaming and you just aren't listening.
Take responsibility for what you do in this world.
Hey #POC #QPOC #QWOC #WOC on Mastodon I wanna talk to you!
I'm Tiara, queer immigrant woman of colour currently based in Australia. A huge chunk of my Mastodon presence right now is about race on Mastodon (or complaining about coder bros) but beyond that I'm also interested in arts, writing, games, performance, travel, intersectionality, liminality, and signing up for anything interesting.
Come say hi :D
"People in this culture really love food" is the worst food writing clichés. All cultures love food. Just once I'd like to see an article that starts with "People in this culture despise eating. They consider it a filthy act, done under a cloud of shame. Flavor, texture, and sustenance: all are abominations across the land. The national dish is a hard bread made of sawdust, moss, and penance."
("British food is bad" does not count as an instance of this. That's its own cliché.)
I think trolls have managed to set a very low standard for internet conduct. Between overt rudeness and genuine politeness, there's a large middle ground that isn't obviously unacceptable but also isn't how friendly people behave.
@ellavescent That was the basic plot of Charlie Stross' book Rule 34. It didn't turn out so well.
Do rich people think that there's different kinds of money? Like oh no, I ran out of "health care" money. Luckily I have all of this "relocate to another country" money with my "never hungry" money and my "random shit I don't need" money.
@Hdpants That I'm a great cook!
Also also: If you claim to care about free speech you should also care about the basic principle of voluntary association, and thus people not wanting to hear or propagate your speech. *For any reason.* Defederation is a *basic requirement* for free speech to exist on Mastodon as anything other than a recapitulation of the worst corners of the internet.
@GinnyMcQueen I've got this and birdsite open in tabs. Since politics is discouraged here, and I'm massively into politics, I figured both was a good idea.

Still reading Cadillac Desert and being utterly horrified at how much destruction and economic waste was involved (and still is) in water projects in the Western USA.
A couple more decades and the ground water will be gone, along with my hometown...
@emdeesee Because networks don't like recursion or looping. Do you want bridge loops? Because that's how you get bridge loops ^_^
I could really use some help with macOS UI work for this Mastodon client I'm working on. I'm struggling ridiculously with the core concept of NSTableView cell resizing.
Please boost.
Every single time...
