Another Pipeline Bursts Endangering Drinking Water Of 6 Million People – Same Company Behind Dakota Access Pipeline

While most of us are enjoying lower gasoline and natural gas prices these days – a big help to the family budget – it is increasingly difficult to defend the oil and gas industry when it keeps polluting our treasured natural resources. The most recent incident occurred in Pennsylvania, and it involves the same company behind the Dakota Access Pipeline, and which bulldozed ancient Native American ...

Don’t ever accept a pipeline being built in your state. They always burst. Always.

you should not have to rip yourself into pieces to keep others whole

i want blizzard to patch in a ‘no’ button so that when widowmaker spams ‘i need healing’ from a hidden sniper ledge ten miles behind the payload i can let her know exactly how i feel about it

[elderly-scrolls]

other potential uses of the ‘no’ button:

friendly mei walls you in spawn just as the match starts so the rest of the team forms a circle of condemnation around her and spams ‘no’

sleep-darting a charging rein and saying ‘no’ basically equates to saying ‘nope not today’

run screaming through a symmetra hell room spamming ‘no’ to warn your team not to follow you

friendly genji attacks the entire enemy team by himself and dies instantly. ‘no’. bad genji.

I truly appreciate kindness. I appreciate a quick message, I appreciate those who ask me if I’m okay, I appreciate every person in my life who has tried to brighten my days a little.

Climate Change is acting much faster than many have expected. Global sea ice is in a free fall compared to all other years on record.

The North Pole is an insane 20 C warmer than normal as winter descends

[allthecanadianpolitics]

While we’re on the topic of Climate Change, this post and article is worth reading (from my science blog above).

[infiniteglitterfall]

That’s 36 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than it should be at this time of year. I’m especially troubled because my Actual News-Reading Friends are reacting to this with “wait but is that normal, or is it actually global warming?”

Which means that sources like the Washington Post are doing a terrible job of explaining what this actually means. Which is probably a huge part of why people are generally not very concerned about climate change, especially not compared to how bad the situation actually is.

The graph above shows that every single year on record, the amount of ice in the sea has grown and melted at about the same times and in the same amounts. Except this year, when suddenly, instead of a bunch of ice forming in fucking winter, it’s… Not. It’s remaining at summer levels, basically.

This is not just part of global warming, it IS global warming. This is the core of the whole thing. The amazing amounts of carbon dioxide that we’ve been dumping into the atmosphere at an increasing rate for the past 100 years have been trapping more and more heat inside the atmosphere.

This has finally reached the point of Horrible Vicious Cycle. Because when it gets too warm, the polar ice caps melt.

When they melt, the oceans become much warmer and more acidic and can’t sustain life well.

When the oceans get warmer, they stop helping cool the atmosphere. Having large bodies of cold water lying around is GOOD if you want an area to be cooler. Having large bodies of warm water lying around does fuck all for cooling anybody down.

The less the oceans help cool things, the more our carbon emissions affect the atmosphere. Because they’re no longer partly being counteracted by the oceans.

Which means global warming accelerates.

Which means ice melting accelerates.

Which means the oceans get even more fucked up.

Which means global warming accelerates even more.

The reaction to this should not be “wait but is this just a thing that happens, the newspaper didn’t really say,” it should be a massive, front page, global headline of “OH FUCKING SHIT.”

[dexer-von-dexer]

Adding, because skepticism is important.

The temperature value is real. The danger is real. That chart is wrong.

Here’s the real chart, from NASA:

And the Antarctic sea ice:

And here’s the same data from the National Snow & Ice Data Center’s interactive graph here:

As you can see, it’s bad, but it’s not as imminently apocalyptically bad as the upper chart, which was made by a single poster on the Arctic Sea Ice Forums and doesn’t line up with the graphs displayed by the site as the most accurate.

Is this bad? Yes, undoubtedly. It’s very, very alarming, and you can see by the actual graphs that this year is very unusual. But is the ice loss as sudden and apocalyptic as the top image seems to indicate? Not so. The ice hasn’t just gotten stuck at summer levels. There has not been a sudden, catastrophic change in the ice this year, it’s still shrinking at the same alarmingly bad rate as usual. Climage change is still a huge, huge, existentially bad issue right now, but it’s important not to fly into a blind panic over an inaccurate graph and a vague headline. Should you be worried? Yeah, definitely. But try to keep a level head. You don’t need to move inland and stock up on bottled oxygen just yet. That’ll come later.

I don’t want to live any longer in this world of “the customer is always right.” This is a world that shows the aggressive, the bull-headed, the cruel that they have full license to behave like beasts to get what they want. Half the time, they’re even rewarded for it; “here, ma'am, so sorry for the trouble, please accept this gift card–no charge.”

I want to live in a world that punishes these childish adults as you punish a toddler throwing a tantrum. No candy for you, Jimmy; you’re going home to bed if you can’t mind yourself in public.

Throw a hissy fit because your cashier isn’t moving as fast as you’d like? Find yourself gently escorted from the store until you can show some basic compassion and patience.

Hurl a pen across the table at your signing agent? You’ve just forfeited your right to refinance your mortgage this week. Try again when your temper is managed.

Scream obscenities at the Taco Bell rep because you know it’ll earn you a free soft shell? Here’s your money back; please feel free to play again when you’ve realized fast food is not worth more than the price of human dignity.

I am so sick of accepting–and, in truth, rewarding–these callous behavior patterns in customer service industries. The fact is, the customer is not always right. The customer is often just testing to see what he can get away with. Stop pandering to spoiled children, and show your employees they have more value than their red polo, or how much abuse they can withstand in a 40-hour week.

We are here to provide a service and to make a living.

We are not your punching bags.

My adorable grandfather, a pilot, an engineer during WW2 who built one of the earliest radiation detectors, radiowave expert, and all around mechanical genius, figures out how selfies work.

He is precious and I will literally fight anyone who says otherwise and if he wasn’t taller than me by at least a head I’d put him in my pocket.

[saccharinesylph]

My adorable grandfather in this post passed away last week, and I remembered that I had made this post a few years ago, and am really glad I could find it to remember my happy Papoo!! You will be happy to know that he continued to be adorable. When we were taking care of his car after the funeral today, we found: at least three different tire gages (just in case) and he’s been using his “department of the united states army” chips as… coasters… in his cupholder… Papoo I am pretty sure that’s not what they are for

It was a really rough last month for him, and I’m glad he’s with my (equally adorable) grandmother now. Even if he’s not with us now, I know it would absolutely tickle him that this went around on the internet. He wasn’t very good at it, but he loved it anyway. C:

Lil pokemon tip, containing no spoilers!

When you get to the Thrifty Megamart, you’ll get a coupon from one of the guys around the store which gives you (i assume? i never bought anything else) a 50% discount. You can use it for one trip to the store, so you can buy things from multiple cashiers/separate purchases from the same cashier so long as you don’t go outside.

I think its pretty common knowledge that if you buy ten balls, you get a premier ball for free? So if you buy ten pokeballs, you get a $1000 discount from the $2000 price, and reselling things to stores gets you half the retail value back. So you see where i’m going with this. If you have the patience, you can farm infinite free premier balls
