most of the worst pizzas I've had have been at sit down restaurants that aren't specializing in pizza. Single worst pizza had basically raw unseasoned broccoli on it. Like I could see broccoli being good on pizza if it was nice and soft and garlic-y. but this was not that.

it's hard to find bad pizza bc dirt cheap passable pizza like little caesars and dominos exists

I get what you're saying, but F=ma and other equations of physics are very much about finding solutions. we only care about the relationships described by F=ma because it generates correct equations of motion.

There's another book where this girl has the ability to absorb other people's superpowers and I think she's referred to as a "battery". but I've never been able to find it and I think its possible I am mixing things up from different books

My forgotten book was about a kid who got trapped in an underground river. A few years ago I figured out that it was leepike ridge by nd wilson

what footwork issues are you having? imo foot technique is the lowest effort/highest reward skill for most beginners to work on. You can make boulders feel so much easier by having good footwork and more trust in your footholds

You could also think of this as people responding nonlinearly to price increases. maybe there is some threshold where price increases start to hurt a lot more. but I think the biggest issue with your post is conflating a quantity (prices) and something related to its derivative (% change in cpi)

Iris 🏳️‍⚧️⛰️ @ten64nm.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
the orange line is not prices, it is change in prices. So for prices to decrease, it would need to be negative. Also, Since the pandemic, it has not dropped below 2%, vs the '09-'19 period where it was almost never above 2%. We're in a new regime of what counts as "normal" price increases.

Your replies are fun because you seem to not really know the meaning of words. I have said that paxton's views are *worse* than talarico's. They both hold anti-trans views. But paxton's are *worse* not equal. It's like you don't even read what I write, and just respond based on vibes

lmao I literally called Paxton an openly bigoted fascist. I don't think that's giving him credit.

Iris 🏳️‍⚧️⛰️ @ten64nm.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
I think a democrat being like 'you know these conservatives have some good points! trans people are a threat to safety and fairness' is helpful to the openly bigoted fascist

finally something we agree on! he does know how to move to the right very well!
101
Iris 🏳️‍⚧️⛰️ @ten64nm.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
He seemed to think that being pro-trans was a winning choice until recently. I'm curious what changed! I think either the centrist dem consultants got to him or his own info environment is very right wing If he capitulates to the right on this issue, what other things will he change his mind on?

Iris 🏳️‍⚧️⛰️ @ten64nm.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
I believe that we are helping talarico win by pressuring him to take better stances on trans rights.
100
Iris 🏳️‍⚧️⛰️ @ten64nm.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
I don't see how I'm doing that? I think the issue is talarico willfully breaking up his coalition by ostracizing trans people. He (wrongly) believes he'll get more votes by moving right. You can't expect trans people to sit by and be quiet when a politician flip flops on our rights like this.

Iris 🏳️‍⚧️⛰️ @ten64nm.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
but it does exist, and it is important for some people, specifically young trans men/boys that get top surgery. This policy will directly harm those people.

the fact that you're using a word like "transgonamorphism" makes me think you're not on our side for some reason...

"Talarico told Fox News at a food drive campaign event in Dallas on Tuesday that if he is elected senator, he will "absolutely" vote for a national ban on transgender surgery for minors." trans surgery in minors is rare, but a full ban removes choices from patients and doctors that could save lives

Talarico backtracks controversial gender comments, pushes for Supreme Court overhaul
Texas Senate nominee James Talarico (D) backtracked on several of his controversial gender comments in an interview, while pushing for a Supreme Court overhaul.

Iris 🏳️‍⚧️⛰️ @ten64nm.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Previously, talarico had voted against a few anti-trans bills. Now he is trying to distance himself from those votes by saying he would vote for other anti-trans policies. He is clearly moving to the right on trans issues. You can't just say "he isn't" over and over with no evidence.

Iris 🏳️‍⚧️⛰️ @ten64nm.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
They are both anti-trans, and ken Paxton is worse. Why is talarico moving to the right on this issue?

He said that trans women/girls "risk safety and fairness" in sports. He said that there are "two sexes and a small percentage of genetic abnormalities" He is anti-trans

How effective is criticism if it is padded by "but of course we will always vote for you!"? anti-trans dem candidates need to reverse course and apologize immediately if they want trans votes/endorsement. They are the ones who decided we are not valuable enough to care about.

The sports issue is not about sports. It is about calling trans women men on the TV and in our laws. It is about conjuring images of a scary masculine tranny in the minds of voters. It is about constructing a perceived threat to the cis hetero american family to win votes through fear and bigotry.

Iris 🏳️‍⚧️⛰️ @ten64nm.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
But it's these candidates who are deciding they don't need a united front! You are mad at the wrong people. They are specifically deciding that they don't need to include trans people in their coalition. If a dem caves to right wing pressure on trans issues, how can we trust them for anything else?

Iris 🏳️‍⚧️⛰️ @ten64nm.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Would you support a democrat that believes in "jewish space lasers" if they were running against Paxton? Because that's what it feels like for trans people when people tell us to support dems that believe trans women "risk safety and fairness in sports" or the like

climbing v2 is really cool because if you climb v2 then you can climb v3 and if you can climb v3 you can climb v4 and if you can climb v4 you can climb v5 and 5.11 is basically a bunch of v2s on top of eachother and if you can climb 5.11 that means 5.10 is really easy. hope that makes sense

mountain :)
I am climbing up a blocky rock face, about 20 feet above the viewer. The camera is looking upwards, the rock takes up the bottom half of the image, and the top half is the sky mostly filled by wispy white clouds. I am wearing an orange long sleeve shirt, light blue sun gloves, dark maroon leggings, black shorts, a small black backpack, and long wool socks.I am hiking along a narrow rocky ridge. You can see the summit of the mountain in the background. The sky is blue with wispy white clouds. I am wearing the same outfit as in the previous picture, and you can also see my orange climbing helmet.

having a very niche interest+expertise is pretty much what being a professor is. I'm not surprised that someone whose job it is to be the world's foremost expert on like Ravel or whatever has a narrower taste in music than someone who sells and discusses all kinds of music all day. both are valuable

Here's what the whole interferometer looked like. They used this thing to measure the diameter of stars
two pictures, one above and one below.
Above: an aerial photo of the Narribri interferometer. It is a circular track with a diameter of 188 meters. Along the track, there are two reflector dishes. There is also a "garage" covering a small portion of the track for the reflectors to reside when not in use. At the center of the circle is a small building called the control room, from which a catenary shaped cable runs to each reflector to connect the electronic systems. 

Below: a line drawing diagram of the same picture.

an interesting image in one of the reflectors of the narribri stellar intensity interferometer. This is from the 1974 book 'The Intensity Interferometer' by R. Hanbury Brown
A picture of a large telescope reflector. It is a regular dodecagon (12 sides) about 6.5 meters tall, with a grid of smaller hexagonal mirrors tiling its surface. On the reflector, you can see the distorted and greatly magnified image of a man in a white shirt and tie with his hands on his hips.

I think if they made an episode of lower decks every week for the next ten years, that would be a good amount of star trek for me. I would be satisfied.
