For some important context

It is not unusual for presidential candidates to hold events away from the convention in the lead-up to the speeches accepting their party’s nomination. In 2012, Mr. Obama did not arrive at the Democratic convention in Charlotte, N.C., until the day before he delivered remarks. In 2016, Hillary Clinton arrived at the convention in Philadelphia the day before her speech; she was first seen onstage when she thanked Mr. Obama for his remarks vouching for her on the Wednesday before she spoke.

Realistically, it’s going to be virtually impossible to get anyone better out of west virginia. Keeping west virginia from being a complete MAGA senate seat is the only reason he was so much as kind of tolerated him. The party isn’t exactly a fan of him

Manchin is not part of the democratic party anymore

Not OP, but as someone who was at one point excited by the potential of crypto, the ecosystem has moved more and more towards what it claimed to stand against initially

It’s supposed to be decentralized, but things like mining pools have lead to heavy amounts of centralization in block production. If we look at Bitcoin, for an example, we see that over 51% of block production is controlled by just two mining pools. That’s not limited to just Proof of Work mining either. Proof of stake sees centralization in staking pools as well. That’s only just looking at one aspect of the network

It has also not really been seen as a currency. People’s view of it as an “investment” which have the opposite qualities you really want to see. People are encouraged to hold it and never let go, meaning they won’t want to spend it which is adverse to its use as a currency. This has also lead to it being incorporated and dominated by the very financial systems it was initially supposed to move away from

I don’t want to type out an essay, but I could keep going on in other ways that’s not really lived up to its promises.

But what it does show is a major momentum shift. Going from Trump +2 after the debate (polling Biden vs Trump) to Harris +6 in the same state from the same polling organization is nothing to scoff at

Though as other people have said, polls don’t determine elections, we do. Elections are only won when people get involved and when people vote

Yep, and you don’t have to limit yourself to just text banking too. There’s post card writing, canvassing, phone banks, vote registration drives, etc.

Art as it was intended

This whole couch thing never ceases to produce new pieces of art:

In the past she had also wanted to be more vocal in previous speeches but it had seen it get watered down by the Biden administration. I think she will push for more than Biden ever did/will

This is a good reminder that the fight against transphobic laws is something that can be won if we fight

Not just transport but all processes in the supply chain after the food leaves the farm — processing, transport, retail, and packaging — mostly account for a small share of emissions.

This data shows this is the case when we look at individual food products. However, studies also show that this holds true for actual diets; for example, researchers Vilma Sandström and colleagues studied the footprint of diets across the EU. Food transport accounted for only 6% of emissions, whilst dairy, meat, and eggs accounted for 83%.

Note: When they say animal they’re probably using the arguably misleading metric of direct emissions from the creatures themselves. The emissions from animal agriculture include a good chunk from the deforestation and growing of feed for it which would be tied to multiple categories here

That’s what people claim, but the research on it suggests it does not do any better for tear gas or pepper spray. Here’s one study looking at pepper spray for instance:

In this study, there was no significant difference in pain relief provided by five different treatment regimens. [Water vs milk vs 3 other solutions] Time after exposure appeared to be the best predictor for decrease in pain.

EDIT: Also worth noting that in terms of infection risk, bird flu is now in a large number of dairy samples and it appears like it transmit to humans through the eyes in particular (or at least be one of its transmission pathways).

The workers were most likely exposed to the virus in contaminated milk—by getting it on their hands and then touching their eyes

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-bird-flu-is-causing-eye-infections-in-dairy-workers/

Some types of pasteurization (flash pasteurization) might not fully get rid of all of the virus. So for even just bird flu alone, its likely more of a risk than it probably was in the past

From what I’ve been told, it takes large amounts of any fluid to get it to go away. One difference you may have observed with milk was that it was cooled vs room temperature water. Cooled water can have similar effects compared to cool milk

Or the time factor itself since it was the second thing used

Don’t use dairy milk for tear gas. Comes with infection risks. Water or saline is generally recommended instead. Plant-milks might be ok (but I’m not 100% sure)

That means bacteria can contaminate the milk and potentially cause infection if applied to eyes or skin wounds. Jordt says it’s better to use water or saline solutions to wash out eyes after a tear-gas attack.
