#climatechange at work. Excessive rain causing flooding in the Sahara desert

https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/14/weather/sahara-desert-floods-climate/index.html

Striking images from the Sahara Desert show large lakes etched into rolling sand dunes after one of the most arid, barren places in the world was hit with its first floods in decades.

The Sahara does experience rain, but usually just a few inches a year and rarely in late summer. Over two days in September, however, intense rain fell in parts of the desert in southeast Morocco

@Sr0bi Drives me crazy too

This is how science works, always open to change. If true this is a huge change.

The universe has always held mysteries that spark our curiosity. As we currently understand it, the fabric of the universe comprises three primary components: ‘normal matter,’ ‘dark energy,’ and ‘dark matter.’ However, new research is turning this established model on its head.

Happy Thanksgiving my fellow Canadians.

@AskTheDevil That's pretty much the same everywhere. The difference factor now is #climatechange and the current crop of politicians unwilling or unable to do anything really serious about the causes thereof.

@holon42 indeed - a long ways away

@agunn true they do seem to trend that way it seems but they are educated (need more in the arts in ubi) and because their profession demands rigid analysis less likely to fall for conspiracy BS if they are at all competent in their profession.

Still more science always :).

oops - lots of potential for blackmail there

AI girlfriend site breached, user fantasies stolen
A hacker has stolen a massive database of users’ interactions with their sexual partner chatbots, according to 404 Media.

The breached service, Muah.ai, describes itself as a platform that lets people engage in AI-powered companion NSFW chat, exchange photos, and even have voice chats.

@MidnightRider They should be excluded from all levels of governance.

@DyDave conservative political parties are trying to dismantle Canada's single payer Medicare. It's scary what is happening here.

@Lucky188 🤣

@TrueBloodNet yup from the lowest levels to the highest

Excellent! More STEM fewer lawyers is what is needed in governing governing bodies
