This year marks the ten-year anniversary of me working from home. I often say I would only go back to an office for one of two reasons: a ton of money, or no other options. Hearing that zoomers get triggered by what emoji you use is a key reason why I'm happy with my choice. And why I'm thankful my only coworker is my cat.
This started on Reddit, which makes it a thing now. The thumbs-up emoji is triggering.
"A mostly ignored problem in the hydrogen discussion is that the existing gas grids are not suitable for handling larger amounts of hydrogen...leads to the embrittlement of metals...
But the alternative is not as ‘green’ as hydrogen likes to be called. Among other things, it is pointed out that considerable technical changes would also be required in households, including the piping in the home, among other things due to embrittlement. This would also cost households an enormous amount of money.
In addition, it is abundantly inefficient to use electricity from renewable sources to electrolyze water to produce hydrogen for this purpose. ‘In the UK, heating homes with green hydrogen would use about six times more renewable electricity than heat pumps,’...

Berenson believes that he was banned from Twitter because of the influence of a senior board member of Pfizer. Citing emails obtained through discovery in his lawsuit against Twitter, Berenson accused Scott Gottlieb of pressuring Twitter leadership to permanently suspend his account.
Gottlieb was the commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration from 2017 to 2019; he resigned and was named to Pfizer's board of directors three months later.
"...According to what we hear from the White House and from the television networks, the issues at stake in the Ukraine War are simple.
They concern the evil of Vladimir Putin, who woke up one morning and chose, whether out of sadism or insanity, to wreak unspeakable violence on his neighbors.
Putin’s actions are described as an “unprovoked invasion” of a noble democracy by a corrupt autocracy. How we ought to respond is assumed to be a no-brainer.
The United States has pledged vast quantities of its deadliest weaponry, along with aid that is likely to run into the hundreds of billions of dollars, and has brought large parts of the world economy—particularly in Europe—to a standstill.
