@BaconOverlord @alphafox I’ve definitely seen people building with hempcrete blocks that almost look like Lego bricks, and don’t require any mortar at all. If I recall correctly. There are some cool home building products out there these days.
English

@BaconOverlord @alphafox Once again. Maybe. Not sure if this is the same type of brick. But it looks like there are some products out there that don’t require mortar along the sides.

@AFkokogems @nicksortor Fair. To each their own. That just looks like the bottom of a mask at the neck line to me.
English

No, I do NOT see anything of interest in these side-by-side stills from two different video streams. They’re from separate broadcasts with varying signal strength, lighting, compression, and overall video quality…which naturally causes distortion, artifacts, and slight differences in how someone’s face looks.
This whole “Admiral is wearing a mask” theory is just too silly. It’s giving the same energy as the wildest COVID-era conspiracy stuff all over again. People acting like they’ve never experienced glitches, blurring, or weird angles during a normal FaceTime call or live stream.
One frame has a slightly more prominent wrinkle or skin fold than the other? Come on — give me a fucking break. The “mask” thing probably won’t hurt you like some of the other stuff people pushed, so believe whatever you want. But I don’t have time for this low-effort propaganda cycle that is designed to keep paid influencers and engagement farmers in business. Hard pass. No thanks.
English

@ChronoScopeFilm @nicksortor @TexanAngry I think it’s being able to see the bottom of the mask at the neck line that mostly does it for me.
English

I find it puzzling that people can look at those two images and somehow think that those are two different people
Clearly the same person
One photo in a studio lit setting from ~20 feet away at roughly eye level, vs a selfie-distance photo ~2 feet from chest level
Perspective/camera position matters and will distort how a face is represented

@No1vakMarko @notalib_80 @alphafox @BIGG69276626 Yeah, I tend to lean towards homes built out of earth. I would prefer we keep old growth forests growing because of their ability to sequester carbon. Because I kinda like burning fossil fuels. And I like the woods.
English

@meirpoke @notalib_80 @alphafox @BIGG69276626 Exactly. Where will I be in 500 years? It doesn't need to last that long. And even a long lasting brick house will need major repairs, roof changes etc. So it's kind of irrelevant. And for kids motivation it is proven that anything given is infinetly worse then earned.
English

@BaconOverlord @alphafox Maybe. That chick looks like kind of a brute. I wouldn’t be surprised either way.

@BlueForAmerica1 @smalls2672 Is that funny? I used to watch that dude when he was a guest on majority report way back in the day. Been kind of interesting watching people realize that most of our politicians are on the same team regardless of republican or democrat.
English

@BlueForAmerica1 @smalls2672 That is Glenn Greenwald. He’s got principles. He’s more than happy to call out bad behavior from Republicans or Democrats. He’s fair and balanced.
English

@smalls2672 Isn’t that Greenwald? I think his name is. He’s a journalist that is a Trumper. Now he’s out there debating how bad he is. Wow.
English

@smalls2672 Jeebus. This wild. There needs to be more listening and less talking from red hat dude.

@E40_brown Seeing that computer system just makes me think in five years updates aren’t gonna be working correctly anymore. And that boat is just gonna be sitting somewhere waiting to be fixed.
English

@WallStreetApes @22NamB I get that it’s fucked up. It is fucked up. And I’ve lived right across the street from the street light that shines right into my bedroom window for 20 years. If they’re not gonna shut down the data center, you can get yourself some blackout curtains.

Residents in Crowell, Texas are being forced to live with constant artificial daylight because of Google’s AI data center that is being built right next to them
Residents report severe 24/7 light pollution that creates artificial daylight at night (photo proof shown)
The facility runs 24/7 with intense lighting that turns the sky bright all night long
There is also a constant mechanical humming noise from cooling fans, HVAC systems, and generators that runs nonstop
The project is a massive new hyperscale AI data center being built right next to the tiny rural town of Crowell with a population of around 800 people
There are real health effects to humans for living with artificial sunlight at night
Disruption of melatonin production leading to insomnia, anxiety, fatigue, and other issues. It’s described as “permanent jet lag.”
These are exactly the complaints residents are making right now
The project is part of Google’s massive $40 billion Texas investment: Google (Alphabet) announced plans for multiple hyperscale data centers in the region
Residents from both political parties have packed town halls to protest the project, citing light pollution, noise, water usage, and threats to rural life, dark skies, and farming.
Their leaders don’t care
Residents feel the economic promises don’t outweigh the quality of life damage

@gsaallen91 @cyburke @Breaking57 How would that be hating the first amendment? Is it illegal to hold a mirror up to somebody?
English

@cyburke @Breaking57 And this is where you hate the 1st amendment there's plenty of videos of these people showing their faces on videos and filming in public isn't against the law to say to with a mirror shows your problem and having the so called "love/hate" is your opinion not everyone elses
English

@Breaking57 “Don’t harass me”. As he’s standing there, harassing people with his camera.
I would be right inside his personal space bubble, making him as uncomfortable as possible. But definitely not breaking any laws.
English

@GigglingGanon I’m glad I don’t experience this in my actual life. Only online.
It would be entertaining to watch auditors film other auditors. Just give them the same treatment. Follow each other home or to the grocery store or whatever. They can just spray each other with bear mace.

@locust9 @DragonTraderZ We always called this a triple play. But never dropped the shot in the beer like a boilermaker. It was a shot then the beer as a chaser.
English

@No1vakMarko @notalib_80 @alphafox @BIGG69276626 You are correct. Depending on what you need in a house certain building materials may make more sense.
If longevity is one of your check boxes, earthen materials are pretty handy.

English

@notalib_80 @alphafox @BIGG69276626 But maybe I don't care that it lasts. Maybe i need it quickly and enough to make it 50 years, wood = natural. After that trends will change anyway and it will be boring, will be time for new one. Probably my heir. And u until then I will earn for 10 more houses. So... it depends.
English

@alphafox Now show the ones where she has to reach above her head... She was struggling with the few she did on here.
Weird how it cuts out before that part.
"Don't need no man" though.
English

@Rocketthewriter @Waaq__13__X__18 @elonmusk Fair. And correct I think. It’s the human race. With people that evolved in different environments. But if that thinking applies to white, it should apply to black too.
So why capitalize “Black” people?
English

@meirpoke @Waaq__13__X__18 @elonmusk Only whites in America call themselves white. Folks from European countries usually consider themselves whatever nationality they come from, not a color or race.
Yall forget that “race” is a social construct created by white Americans.
