I'd love to see anyone debug, or even understand, an 1890 line long function with nesting 30 levels deep and cyclomatic complexity over 180. Oh, and this is in a file >15900 lines long with other notemares! SMALL functions, ppl. SMALL FUNCTIONS!!! For the love of God, small!!!

@POTUS @realDonaldTrump is there any way you could commission a study on how much "renewables" contribute to instabilities in power grids, as well as into how we could reinvigorate our power grid and needs with MODERN nuclear reactors (i.e. modular throium)? Energy costs 2/🧵

@potus @realDonaldTrump could plummet, if we had reliable, high capacity factor power like nuclear, in EVERY SINGLE STATE. Instead of $0.15-0.43/khw, we could potentially have just a few cents per khw, and no need for inane things like TOU billing. Bring energy back to the 🇺🇸!

@POTUS @realDonaldTrump Lately I've been seeing warnings that our power grid is likely incapable of handling this summer's cooling power load. Especially in the north-east grid region. This country needs RELIABLE power! LOTS of it, too, if we bring mfg home. President, 1/🧵

The *worst* outcome would be to make DST permanent. Just as people don't realize the effect of changing time, they don't realize the effect of light on physiology. Making DST permanent would exacerbate an epidemic of health issues due to ignoring humans' natural circadian rhythm.

I have a hard time with any poll that ultra heavily skews to just one side. They are usually due to imbalanced population. That said, it's time for DST to end forever. It is unnatural, useless, and most likely plays a role is many sleep related disorders. No one wants it perm!!

Safety and dark skies go together! Terrible light pollution in the name of safety is the result of technical incompetence, ignorance or willful waste of energy (=selling electricity).

You know the community manager at Nexus was typing all that through gritted teeth. Keep the pressure on them. Continue to promote sites seeking to provide an alternative like @DEGMods Nexus has a history of censoring content that is well with community guidelines. Don't listen to the lies.

If you're asking about a mod manager, then we're planning at some point to fork Mod Organizer 2 and custom fit it to the site's needs, but until then, people can utilize Mod Organizer 2 itself degmods.com/mod-manager

Remove this from your grocery list !! A new class action lawsuit claims Celtic Ocean International LLC’s Celtic Sea Salt products are contaminated with high levels of lead and arsenic. Fine ground & light gray contain 460 parts per billion of lead and 140 parts per billion of arsenic.

"I’ve seen a lot of criticism of RFK Jr. since his autism speech yesterday. So I decided to do something radical… I watched the full speech. (I know — crazy concept: go to the source and form your own opinion instead of blindly repeating media narratives and social media memes.) And what I found didn’t exactly match the headlines. So in this post, I want to address the five biggest criticisms I’ve seen and share my take. But first — let me say this: Whatever you think of his policies, one thing seems clear to me after listening to RFK Jr. speak: he genuinely seems to care about the children and families affected by autism. You can disagree with his conclusions, but to paint him as evil or malicious is unfair... and, frankly, dishonest. ⸻ Criticism #1: “He called autism an ’epidemic.’” Yes, he did ... to highlight the steep rise in diagnoses. (CDC data shows 1 in 31 kids today.) The term "epidemic" does not always imply something contagious. I find it unlikely that those criticizing his use of the word "epidemic" showed the same level of outrage when it was used to describe the obesity epidemic or the fentanyl epidemic. ⸻ Criticism #2: “He said autistic kids will never have jobs, never pay taxes, never go on dates.” This is wildly misleading and out of context. Just moments before making that statement, he referred specifically to the 25% of cases classified as severe (children who are nonverbal, not toilet trained, and unable to care for themselves). Clearly, within this context, his remarks were not about all autistic children. Anyone claiming otherwise is either unaware of this context or deliberately misrepresenting his words. ⸻ Criticism #3: “He rejected the science — autism is genetic, not caused by toxins.” This claim misrepresents his stance. He didn’t dismiss the role of genetics; rather, he stated that while genes might create a vulnerability, they alone cannot explain an epidemic. This perspective is far from fringe. Even the CDC acknowledges that environmental factors may play a role. His argument isn’t anti-science; it’s a reasonable call for a more balanced exploration of potential causes. ⸻ Criticism #4: “He’s pushing anti-vax conspiracy theories again!” This one is just false. Not once during his 27-minute speech did he mention vaccines. Instead, he discussed toxins such as mold, pesticides, and additives. But the media (who appear to hate him for past positions) decided to resurrect the vaccine angle even though he didn’t bring it up. This is yet another example of a targeted smear campaign by individuals more invested in promoting narratives than seeking the truth. ⸻ Criticism #5: “His words were emotionally harmful to autistic people and their families.” I guess this one depends on your perspective. Yes, his language was intense, but maybe what’s also harmful is ignoring the existence of the most severe forms of autism. RFK Jr. is amplifying the voices of parents whose children face extreme challenges, such as self-injurious behaviors, inability to speak, constant supervision needs, and requiring round-the-clock care. These families are real, and their struggles are profound. For once, someone on a national platform is recognizing their pain and saying, “We see you, and we are committed to understanding why this is happening.” ⸻ I’m not saying RFK Jr. is perfect. His words could’ve been clearer. His policy ideas are certainly open to scrutiny. But let’s stop pretending he dehumanized autistic people or rejected science. He’s asking tough questions. He’s challenging the status quo. And instead of outrage, maybe we should welcome the conversation. Watch the speech. Check the CDC data. And let’s focus on facts instead of clickbait." -Written by Tyson Zahner

Garcia is being used by the liberal, progressive, communist left to attack the America that rejected them during the elections last year. The evidence seems to stack up against Garcia. Even eliminating everything else...he was still an illegal. He still had two DV instances...
Replying to @TonyClimate
He is the "FATHER" of 1 child. The other 2 were his wife's from someone else. He married her to avoid being deported when they found out he was MS13 & arrested him the 1st time around. She gave birth while he was in jail in 2019. When he got out his wife filed not 1, but TWO restraining orders against him due to Domestic Violence. One in 2020 and the other in 2021. It is clear the only reason his wife is going on TV is to boost the GoFundMe campaign that has grown exponentially since she's done so. He is NOT the "Maryland Family Man" ya'll are making him out to be. Just STOP. Stop propping up criminals. It does not make you guys look better.

Could a mistake have been made with regards to the MS13 thing? Perhaps. Two courts agreed that the evidence was sufficient. Further, one stated Garcia had not made any efforts to counter the evidence that had been presented and clear his name... Perhaps this situation will 1/

This is vile, reprehensible and down right EVIL behavior by CPS, DFS & Massachusetts! This is heinous, an absolute failure of government and tragic attack on AMERICAN families! Spread the word! @realDonaldTrump @AGPamBondi Can something be done about this at the federal lvl?! 🙏

🚨 HEARTBREAKING: Massachusetts just kidnapped 5 children from parents who refused to vaccinate their 9-month-old baby. When the parents fled the state to protect their family, they were ARRESTED. This is one of the darkest stories of the year. THREAD 🧵
