Without bees, we wouldn’t be able to eat vegetables or fruits. Without water, we couldn’t survive. Without trees, we wouldn’t even be able to breathe. These are all things essential for our life. Data centers? Absolutely not!

No economist has ever explained the trap of being poor better than Terry Pratchett's boots theory.
A wealthy man buys a $200 pair of boots that lasts ten years.
A poor man can only afford $40 boots that leak after six months, so he spends $800 over the same ten years and still has wet feet.
Poverty isn't just a lack of money.
It's a continuous subscription fee for not having capital up front.

Si crees que Wemby es un alien 👽 , fíjate en la comparativa con David Robinson 🤯
El Almirante acumuló 231 puntos, 263 rebotes y 107 tapones más que Wemby en el mismo número de partidos.
@DavidtheAdmiral era un jugador increíble que se adelantó a su tiempo.

Mass rollout of these devices is an employee and public surveillance nightmare.
This is exactly why the Greens have legislation ready to go to put an import ban in place until we sort this mess out

45 years ago today, on November 6, 1981, the Cars released Shake It Up, their fourth studio album, on Elektra.
Ric Ocasek, Benjamin Orr, Elliot Easton, Greg Hawkes and David Robinson recorded it at Syncro Sound in Boston with Roy Thomas Baker, who had produced every Cars album to that point. It would be his last with the band.
Panorama had been darker and more experimental, and this time the Cars went back to the hooks. Ocasek pulled the title track from his stash of older, unrecorded songs, and "Shake It Up" became their first Top 10 single, peaking at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album reached No. 9 on the Billboard 200 that December.
🎸 "Since You're Gone" followed as the second single and stopped just short of the Top 40 at No. 41. What's your favorite track on Shake It Up? 🎸

🚨This is the true shape of our planet, known as GEOID.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The geoid is not the physical shape of the planet, but a model of an idealized sea-level surface based on Earth's gravity. Depictions like this are exaggerated to highlight irregularities.

If you could make a choice between:
$368 billion on #AUKUS submarines,
OR
$368 billion on better health services, better education facilities, a public housing building program, dental in Medicare, raise the rate, rent freeze, cut-price food outlets, and a very fast train.
Which would you choose?
