2,189 Miles, 40 Days, and 3 Showers: How Tara Dower Destroyed the Appalachian Trail Speed Record
  • I'll admit that I dont understand the now long running deal with speed running things like this, but if done safely and respectfully, I also dont see the harm. What is important is impact to the resource, and that is the main issue. That transcends folks like this. If she can pass that ethic along with this record, I'm for it.

  • Eric Adams Pleads Not Guilty to Five Federal Corruption Counts.
  • It's a major world city with a history of corruption. All of this is big. There may even be others involved we don't know about.

  • Tennessee's Waterville Dam suffers "catastrophic failure": What we know
  • My time in Mtn city was that only half the town even had cell phone service haha. Food Lion? Ya, maybe in some of the parking lot. Food City? Nope. I could make a phone call at the bar out by Midway but not in most of the town. Hope you and them fair ok.

  • Zelensky cuts off Trump after he boasts about relationship with Putin: ‘I hope we have more good relations’
  • Zelensky's body language was immaculate. True country leader. Were lies stated by Trump? Truths? Possibilities? Impossibilities? 😶️ Zelensky plans for the future and desires no necessary enemies.

  • AI bots now beat 100% of those traffic-image CAPTCHAs
  • I don't use a VPN and they are still highly problematic. I get stuck in a cycle, like with cloudflare.

  • Squirrel King?
  • Wow, thanks for sharing this. My first impression was that they were acting like daddy long legs, but no, this is bad.

  • Guess The Movie
  • Same, there was (still is?) something like this for music, and I failed at it pretty badly... But fun anyway. I subscribed to this one!

  • Gullfriends - A place to appreciate friendly sea gulls
  • Pretty good name 🙂️ we get some strays here from wetter places.

  • Why do I throw up after smoking weed?
  • Just commenting to second the allergy, even tho it may not be the issue here. I always had awful reactions over the ~15 years I tried it off and on. Terrible. Not like CHS at all. You're right, allergy (or something) is a thing. But probably not what OP has (not a doctor).

  • Tennessee's Waterville Dam suffers "catastrophic failure": What we know
  • Dang, this is disappointing. I lived in the Ashe county, NC area for about ten years and cannot get ahold of anyone... I think their access to the closest town (mtn city TN) may be cut off with how steep those roads are. The news videos are all about Blowing Rock and Boone. Be safe! Lot of landslide potential.

  • Trump says Ukraine is 'demolished' and dismisses its defense against Russia's invasion
  • You are welcome to provide a more apt analogy; mine works fine. @cheese_greater@lemmy.world caught the gist, you may be stuck in the mist?

  • Trump says Ukraine is 'demolished' and dismisses its defense against Russia's invasion
  • Ukraine may be in rough shape, but no real fire fighter would stop trying to put out a fire at a burning house. There is always something to save.

  • Happy 12 million!
  • Maybe to add to this, there may be folks like me who initially joined on things that became problematic or we wanted something "better" and are now on something different, leading to doubles. Not sure if my older accounts (like kbin) would show up but they might.

  • Supreme Court leaves Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein off the ballot in Nevada
  • This is clearly anti-democratic and unlikely to have any actual effect on the election outside making Democrats look bad.

    No. If it reflects negatively on anyone it would be the Nevada and US courts, the Nevada official who handed out the paperwork, and of course the Stein operation for not catching it. The last two have the capacity to catch this. Not the Democratic party.

  • Supreme Court leaves Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein off the ballot in Nevada
  • And that is followed by

    Across the country, a network of Republican political operatives, lawyers and their allies is trying to shape November’s election in ways that favor Trump. Their goal is to prop up third-party candidates, including Stein and Cornel West who offer liberal voters an alternative that could siphon away support from Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee.

    Not Democratic party malfeasance.

  • Does your context help explain this? I grew up with The Far Side but sounds like I am 10+ years behind you and this flew over my head like, well, not an ostrich...

  • Feds target SUV, truck size to save pedestrian lives — ‘one of the last frontiers of vehicle safety’
  • This seems like it could lead to significant innovation in vans in North America, or set least US/Canada. Van pickups, van sedans, van Goghs? After the initial temper tantrums, I think people will buy whatever comes out of the design phase. There used to be a lot of "beef" about emission control devices, but not so much anymore. Those folks moved on.
