The tomatoes are ripening rapidly now.

It’ll be a slightly smaller harvest than previous years - fewer plants and the high temps mean those we have are not putting on as much growth. Still enough for plenty of tomato salad though.

I just told my girlfriend this story, because she hadn't heard of any of the recent "pierogi controversies", and she responded with "It's the biggest news in the pierogi business in _years_."

Instead of dedicating resources to finding and arresting actual terrorists, for instance the UK's many ultra-violent white supremacists and self-professed neo-Nazis, almost 500 people peacefully protesting holding pieces of paper and signs were dragged away on the grounds of promoting and/or engaging in terrorism, at enormous expense to tax payers and sanity itself.

According to the UK Police themselves, it was largest single day of arrests in at least a decade.

Robots have been getting launched from Earth for over 50 years. Still, NASA Rovers keep getting stuck while roaming the extraterrestrial terrain. Yes, gravity’s pull affects the Rover itself, but what else is gravity changing? @ScienceAlert explains:

NASA Rovers Keep Getting Stuck, And We Finally Know Why : ScienceAlert

Although humanity is getting better at sending robotic probes out into the Solar System to explore the places no human can tread, we're still very much on a learning curve.

If we say 1.5° is still alive then we don’t have to look at why it’s not.

If we keep “could” in the phrase “the world could soon become uninsurable” then we don’t have to consider that we are doing everything we can to ensure that it *will*… become uninsurable.

Gotta stop that capitalism bubble from popping, even as we inflate it.

Why insurers worry the world could soon become uninsurable

Günther Thallinger, a board member at Allianz, one of the world's biggest insurers, says the climate crisis could make adaptation economically unviable.

Perhaps don't launch businesses that rely on breaking the law? Just a thought.

'If the appeals court denies the petition…the emerging company may be doomed. As Anthropic argued, it now "faces hundreds of billions of dollars in potential damages liability at trial in four months"…that involves "up to seven million potential claimants, whose works span a century of publishing history," each possibly triggering a $150,000 fine.'

Seems that #BioNTech in Germany can now develop mRNA therapies against cancer and other things without having to fear subsidised competition from the US. That'll bring even more money and top researchers to Europe. Thanks, Trump and Kennedy!

In northern Gaza, we have been witnessing relentless aerial and artillery bombardment for over three hours. People are forced to leave their homes and tents amidst indescribable terror, fleeing without direction or safety.

Save Gaza before it’s too late.🙏

not that anyone asked but i got cancellations working with the rpc toy

you pass a context.WithTimeout on the client, it pulls the deadline out, shuffles that to the server, and the rpc calls inherit the settings

and if the client does timeout, it sends a cancellation message, which cancels the context on the server and propagates down
