One of the coolest things about what Fervo is doing right now is the quantity of deep drilling into geologies that haven’t been explored nearly as much as the classic sedimentary formations of O&G. It’s fun to get huge insights into fundamental geologic processes as a byproduct of our work.
All research is "me-search"
All research is "me-search"
Some of the most recent “market analysis” on geothermal has been of terrible quality. Fervo publishes extensively, at great risk to our business BTW as it gives competitors insight into our tech. And a lot of “analysis” seems incapable of even basic Google searches to find it.
Are posters members of the working class? The second greatest debate in Marxist forum history. There still is no consensus.
YES. The Left needs to get out of the habit of acting as if the key missing piece is the will to act, and needs to focus more on HOW things could get done and the very real challenges that make action more difficult.
of course this is the 570th study finding this result, but still worth emphasizing that if you get a guaranteed payment, *the incentive to work is still there.* not true of many US welfare programs!!
Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.
ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship. Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.
You don’t say ….
The pace of new startups being launched in geothermal is unprecedented now. I see a new one every day. And more and more often they are directly referencing and building upon Fervo’s breakthroughs. The more the merrier! Rapidly bringing on more clean, firm power is going to take a strong ecosystem.
You can totally see how this mf bankrupted a casino.
Lol, I was thinking "Maybe that's what a 5 year old would say?"
Does FASORP really have the ability to create an obligation for students to preserve their personal statements? Isn't that kind of obligation created only after a lawsuit is initiated?
It's not dedicated to frustrating people out of a sense of sadism?
I agree with the author's basic opinion, but "eject"? He really wants to avoid using "deport".
I don't think so.
This is literally all that matters to the atmosphere. It doesn't give us points for producing more renewable energy, or walking more. All it cares about is whether we Actually Cut Fossil Fuels that crank out carbon, and stop chopping the old growth forests that capture it.
Only a shithole country, a lawless backwater in the middle of a rapid downward spiral, would revoke a student visa over an op-ed.
What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.
thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."
Good god
The U.S. is the aggressor in this case. China doesn't want war. If we make it so that a U.S. attack isn't likely to be successful, then the U.S. might be less likely to attack.
If it prevents war, then that's good.
Why is he stepping down?
The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money. He was not dead.
KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!
Part of what landed us here was the oft repeated refrain of "polarization" lending credence to the story that "both sides" were of equal blame or some magnetic force was at play.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
Rhetoric from the Dems showing some signs of improvement
If Paul McCartney dies first, Ringo should immediately announce a new lineup of the Beatles
Are people more likely to change their minds about some issues than others? I've always wondered if gay marriage was in a special category since it didn't affect anything economic or material. Like, are people more likely to change their minds about civil rights issues than food stamps?
Trump and Musk are going after Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, and public education. In what universe, in what world, in what religion is it morally acceptable to cut programs for hungry children in order to reward the wealthy?
Finally! Let's bring comedy back, too!!!
Lol. That's good.
1/ There are thousands of ways to protest, resist, & disrupt. If you do not like the one(s) right in front of your face, your job is not to criticize & judge, your job is to organize, imagine, & expand the movement elsewhere & in new ways.
Primary all these people. Not fit for purpose. Enablers of fascism.
Thanks for letting me know
Who are Dem electeds turning to for advice? Consultants who tell them to support Liz Cheney. I think Dem electeds should try looking to leftists for advice for once.
Would you consider writing about what you did in Central America in the '80s? I think it'd be great for younger leftsists to know about. I know about it only b/c Noam Chomsky mentioned it one time. As far as I know, it's lost history other than that.
Okay, now that's a great analogy

I would not be opposed to that
Damn. That sounds bad. I'm going to invest in gold.
That's funny. I don't know that I agree with you, though.
There's also such a thing as weak-willed action, where people's actions don't align with their values. People may in fact have good values and make mistakes or engage in weak-willed action!
What I understand people mean is that actions can't deceive you but words can. The problem is that can be totally wrong! Actions can deceive you, too! Also, as I said, speaking is an act.
Of course saying something is an action. When people proclaim that "actions speak louder than words", they're confused because saying something is an action.
Nice, and that dentist is shit.
I was just curious. I'll take my questions elsewhere in the future.
ultimately--a la Karen and Barbara Fields in their book Racecraft--what we want is to end up in a place where we realize that race is not real but socially constructed. When people say that gender is on a spectrum, though, it feels like they're saying that there is something real about gender.
I don't really think that it makes sense to say that gender is on a spectrum is my point, and I'm trying to make the point by saying that if it were correct to say that gender is on a spectrum then it would also be correct to say that race is on a spectrum. But when it comes to race we say that
Here's a question: if gender is socially constructed and it's good or correct to say that gender is on a spectrum, then why isn't it good or correct to say that race, which is also socially constructed, is also on a spectrum (from say the darkest-skinned people to the lightest-skinned)?

How is Jeff Bezos dictating what employees should write any different from the owner of any other company dictating what their employees should do?
That piqued my interest. I doubt they have enough perspective to tell us much about it, though.
Been thinking lots about the vocabulary of "civil resistance" and how much of it, understandably, frames the morally upright as the antagonists acting in "noncompliance" against an existing force. I think MUTINY is a term we ought to popularize.
This is indeed brilliant
If you're interested (from Cambridge University Press): www.amazon.com/Measurement-...
Dr. Calarco, are you familiar with Joel Michell's criticism of measuring psychological attributes? It might explain your students' shock. There is a difference between measuring something with a ruler and measuring anxiety, for example. Social science data tends to be like measuring anxiety, no?
The real reason people say Musk is stupid is that every time he talks about any area that a particular person knows about, he reveals that he doesn’t understand the most basic things about it. Apparently this has never come up for Noah Smith.
That sounds great. Exactly the information "lay" people want to know, I think.
They only think that because they're trying to appease billionaire donors. If there weren't billionaire donors, then they'd begin leading the conversation instead of following the polls. They're just bought off by the rich.
Judge Dale Ho coming through, appoints Paul Clement to argue against DOJ’s motion to dismiss the Adams case.
at some point if you're willing to admit that this salute mimicks another *recent* famous salute you might as well just say which historical salute both are mimicking. but apparently nobody wants to be the first to say "Nazi"
I think it's a problem that men are socialized into think that they need to be "providers". Maybe I've grown up in a terrible environment and watch too many reality TV shows, but it seems that most women expect men to be "providers" and that this takes precedence over men being people.

Well said.
Crazy
Wait, what? That's a trend?
“Because the career incentives of elite opinion journalism are such that there will always be upwards mobility for someone like me who criticizes Democrats more than Trump”
Smh
It blows my mind that Elon Musk actually has political power. Just crazy that this is the world we're living in.

Plainly unlawful and unconstitutional. No one can issue such an order; the President and his officers cannot simply ignore an entity created and funded by Congress.
