Its a hell of a thing reading this and finding out this way. They knew in October. They knew more in November. They finally say something in December, but I have yet to receive any communication from them acknowledging the breach. Thanks Comcast. You somehow suck and blow at the same time.

Something tells me John Oliver was never afraid to cover this, but Elon Musk has finally had undeserved attention for long enough to become worth covering.

Man thats fucking vague click bait headline. What isotope? How much activity? What was in the water? Nah lets not talk relevant details, lets just spread uninformed fear of the nuclear industry instead.

Well that’s just February twenty ni- oh. I see.

This comic is too damn relatable. I swear I don’t have ADHD but it sure is making me feel like I might.

I think I had a stroke reading this

I could go for a rewatch of this show. Any idea if it’s on one of the dozens of streaming services I dont have?

I think a huge problem is that the average person doesn’t have the capacity to read and understand the actual published research paper. If you don’t work in that particular field its like reading another language. They also dont know how to interpret the data, or look at sample sizes and associated statistics. Whether or not its peer reviewed or if the experiments have been repeated is a whole other aspect most people wont consider. Couple that with the fact that most articles written about scientific breakthroughs are written by the same people with a lack of understanding and you end up with this weird whisper down the alley lost in translation effect.

It’s difficult to do more than that too. I see these headlines and articles, I know about this problem, and I can understand many research papers. However, the time and effort it takes to parse those things out is usually too much for me. There’s just too much and not enough time, so at some point I have to trust it. Otherwise I need a really good reason to look into it further and invest that extra energy, which really would prefer be spent on my personal life instead

I gotta throw that /s on there

Hey I cant read everything he’s saying. Where’s the rest? I wanna know how it ends.

It is not. It uses the Safari webkit.

I use it on my phone, and on the phone ddg is it’s own separate browser.

Duckduckgo is a firefox addon for desktop. On iOS it utilizes a fork of Safari.

The others I’m not sure about, but a quick search shows me that I gotta delete Brave. Damn. Google is fucking insidious

Or duckduckgo. Or Brave. Or Opera. Or Tor.

I have yet to try the last two. I really enjoy duckduckgo on my phone, but I know there was some controversy. I guess I’m lazy but I love the fire button that burns away all your open tabs and history in one click. Started using Brave recently and I kind of enjoy how it reports how much stuff its blocked and the breakdown of what it all is. I have had no noticeable issues with either one.

Sir this is the internet. Nowhere is safe from stupid arguments

He is. The guy has published an absolutely preposterous number of books and has at least one out this year. They also did a Fear Street netflix series somewhat recently, last year I think.

I feel old saying this but I think its dumb to put the “Nobody: _____”. Crop that and this meme works just as well, and IMO a whole lot better.

Plenty. I got next day delivery from Best Buy earlier this week. Most franchises offer similar in order to compete, and you typically dont even need a membership, just a minimum dollar amount on the order. Stop in at your local small shops if you can, but otherwise order from anyone but Amazon.

Hey IPAs are all year round. Pumpkin spice beer is seasonal.

Oh damn I still gotta finish ng++
