I beg to differ: spez has ruined reddit for everyone.

The story notes that the pool was near in size to the car. That would mean that, regardless of water pressure, you wouldn’t be able to open the doors. My next try would be the windows but it’s possible that it was such a tight fit that they wouldn’t be able to get out the windows either.

My next option would be to pull down the back seat, exit into the trunk, and use the interior trunk release to exit the trunk. However, that also may not have worked, depending on whether the car’s weight was on the trunk (preventing you from exiting the trunk), or whether there was enough room along the back or sides of the trunk (preventing you from making your way to the surface).

My final option would be to try to kick out the windshield and exit there. I’m sure many people would try it earlier; my assumptions are that the weight of the engine would be holding the front of the car closer to the bottom of the pool; that momentum carried the front of the car close to/into the edge of the pool, limiting space to exit that way; that front airbags may make the exit awkward; and that a possibly shattered windshield and crumpled front of the car make exiting through the windshield a more dangerous route.

Other than those options, I’m not sure what you could do.

The Nazis used to have arrest quotas too.

Lol on the kale. I like the way my farm’s setup works. You choose and pack your own box of vegetables so you can get what you want; like sometimes I want small carrots for snacking and salads, and sometimes I want hearty carrots for stews, etc. So there’ll be a list when you come in, like (this is all random):

• 1 pint of cherry/grape tomatoes
• 2 heirloom tomatoes
• 1 head lettuce
• 1 bag kale OR bok choy OR arugula
• Any 2 from eggplant OR squash OR zucchini Etc.

Which is a pretty nice way to do it. Also, while I’m not a huge kale fan, I’ve actually learned his to make some fairly decent kale chips in the microwave and they’re a cheap and healthy snack!

My main pain point is (of course!) lettuce month - the first month of the growing season, when the majority of what you’re getting is leafy green stuff. And the first box, your just SO happy for fresh vegetables, you’re like YES!! But then you have to eat your way through 3/4 bushels of leafy green stuff for another four weeks, and by the end of it, you’re just like, “Ugh! Not *again”!" Aside from stir fries and frittatas, my one blessing has been the discovery of lettuce soup. It’s not a particularly great soup, but it’s definitely edible, uses up a bunch of greens and (best of all) it can be frozen!

[I also welcome additional suggestions for using up large amounts of green stuff, with particular eagerness for anything that can be frozen or otherwise stored.]

I bought a farm share (CSA). The farmer gets paid up front so they aren’t dependent on banks and the weather; I get a box of food every week during the growing season. No middlemen, fresher produce.

Sure, go digging around the supervolcano, that can only end well …

If anyone has an article with more technical details on what the solar radiation did, and how they’re going to patch it, I’d like to read about it :)

Not a direct answer to your question, but: the sun (like the earth) has areas that are more “geologically” active; those areas tend to throw out solar flares. As the sun rotates, the area that throws out these solar flares slowly faces toward the earth (solar maximum) then slowly rotates to face away from the earth (solar minimum). The solar cycle is roughly eleven years long.

Currently, we’re just slightly past solar maximum. For the past year or so, the “more active” part of the sun has been roughly facing earth and intermittently spitting out solar flares. When these flares hit the earth’s atmosphere, they cause auroras (which is why we’ve had so many auroras these past couple years) and can interfere with electronic and electrical equipment (see: the Carrington event).

I have no details on what l the exact damage that was caused by the interference the plane suffered, nor any knowledge of how they plan to address the issue. But whatever they come up with is going to take some time to develop - and we’re moving away from solar maximum so being hit with a massive flare is increasingly less likely - at least for another decade. My suspicion is that they’ll come up with a “solution” that actually may not work very well, but it works well enough to give the impression that they’re doing something - and it’ll look like it’s working to some extent, simply because the active side of the sun is rotating away from us.

she was led around the Tuileries gardens answering questions for a long time, with the entire interview process lasting several hours.

Even if you hadn’t been drugged with a diuretic, this would be hard.

The CGT culture trade union said: “[…] there is a systemic problem, which enabled a senior civil servant to act like this for a decade.” The union said other staff had previously made allegations against him, accusing him of taking pictures of women’s legs in meetings.

It always starts small, as they see what they can get away with. They knew there was some kind of problem with him, yet they let him continue for over a decade.

women in the job interview drugging investigation said their case was taking too many years to come to trial, only increasing their trauma. “Six years later, we’re still waiting for a trial […] For us, it feels like we’re being victimised a second time.”

And now it’s been another six years for these women, waiting for any kind of justice. If I’d spent sixteen years waiting, I’d be angry too.

Are we absolutely sure they didn’t place an order?

I remember during his first term, when he was tweeting outrageous random shit in the middle of the night, and every morning I woke up with a feeling of existential dread over whatever shit he would’ve come up with overnight.

Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.

Togo? Why tf is Togo on the list?!

This is called industrial symbiosis and it’s a lovely thing. Another great example is the Kalundborg Eco-Industrial Park](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalundborg_Eco-industrial_Park).

Remember that guy who sent 13-cent checks to a while bunch of million/billionaires, and only trump and one other guy cashed the checks?

Lmao, I wouldn’t put it past them to screw it up like that again …

Covert operations expected to be first step […] The United States plans on Monday to designate the Cartel de los Soles a foreign terrorist organization […] The Trump administration has accused Maduro of leading Cartel de los Soles, […] Washington in August doubled its reward for information leading to Maduro’s arrest to $50 million. But U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said last week that the terrorist designation “brings a whole bunch of new options to the United States.”

… Are they publicly announcing that they’re planning to assassinate the head of a foreign government?!

She announced her resignation (just ever so conveniently) a couple days after her pension ability kicked in, and after she’d made millions in stock trades.

borrowers taking on a five-decade loan would struggle to build equity—with most payments in the first decade being on interest rather than principal. With limited equity, homeowners would have less of a financial cushion should a shock occur—a drop in house prices or unexpected expense—and therefore be at “greater risk of default on these loans.” Given this heightened risk, Zandi said interest rates would be “significantly higher” than on standard 30-year mortgages, eliminating many of the cost savings that would result from the longer repayment period.

I really appreciate that the picture selected for this article on toxic sites is Andrew Tate - so incredibly apt!

[he] addressed the “immense” energy needs of AI, acknowledging that the intensive energy requirements of expanding AI ventures have caused slippage on Alphabet’s climate targets. However, Pichai insisted that the company still wants to achieve net zero by 2030 through investments in new energy technologies. “The rate at which we were hoping to make progress will be impacted,” Pichai said, warning that constraining an economy based on energy “will have consequences.”

We need “line go up” so badly, we’re willing to bake the planet.

“We will have to work through societal disruptions,” he said, adding that the technology would “create new opportunities” and “evolve and transition certain jobs.”

Someone once described AI as “a way for the wealthy to access the benefits of the skilled, without allowing the skilled to access the benefits of wealth”.

The 28-year-old press secretary for President Donald Trump shared several stories with her 2.6 million Instagram followers on Sunday, after also facing ridicule on Saturday Night Live this weekend. Karoline kicked off her weekend updates by posting photos and videos from her Palm Beach getaway, revealing “the ocean is my happy place” alongside footage of her coastal drive. She then shared a snapshot of her meal at the Four Seasons Hotel in Palm Beach, where rooms can cost guests as much as a staggering $2,781 per night.

Maybe if she didn’t want her social media posts to be publicly analyzed, she should: not publicly post things unless she wants them analyzed; not have chosen a high-profile job in front of all the world’s media; or saved things she wants kept personal for a shared family text, an alt posting account, or locked to approved users.
