I didn't think you could even use water on the lithium battery fires.

@StevenSavage

You mean we shouldn't let every helpful person with a helicopter start buzzing around a hurricane disaster area trying to find a place to land? Trump was complaining that FEMA wouldn't let them do it.

@impermanence42

Scary.

@Valkyrie_D

I've got one of those hurricane oil lamps. Very good for lighting up a room, as well as short circuiting the argument about whether you can use a gasoline Coleman camping lantern inside the house. (How is this controversial??) The oil seems to last a very long time.

Study Russian nouns? I decline.

Sadly, Putin knows Trump won't care.

Make sure B12 got checked. It's so obvious, sometimes everyone assumes it was done but it never was.

There will always be a market for a place that allows users to post to promote themselves/their corporation ... and which allows fake accounts to be created to follow those accounts ... and which allows the little people to post comments on those accounts but never get their engagement on their own posts ... and which mines the data of the whole system for ads.

Coso will not have Bluesky's kind of numbers because they aren't selling Bluesky's kind of product.

Welcome!

It's easiest to get oriented if you're on a computer, rather than a phone, so you can see the column layout.

It's actually fairly different from X -- all posts are visible to all users by default. "Use the tools" to follow people you want to see more of, mute people or filter terms you aren't interested in. It's not being rude, just finding your group. Don't worry about how many followers you have -- it doesn't have anything to do with how many people can see you.

Postcards to Voters volunteers -- there is a run off election for the Mississippi state supreme court happening Nov 26 --- they need all hands on deck ASAP.

Secretary Kennedy, we have something important in this freezer that the CDC has been keeping from Amercans for 100 years! Go take a look!

I don't expect the next ayatollah to be much different from him.
