@gnu2 I have felt for some time that judges' and legislators' tech illiteracy threatens all of us. What happens if one of those "the Internet is a series of tubes" guys gets a key judgeship?
Still, I noticed that I wasn't sweating during today's walk, so I stopped at #Del_Taco and got a large ½ Diet Coke ½ Coke Zero and within a few minutes I was covered with sweat.
Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals said it was okay for police to wrongly arrest someone and hold them for three days over a mistaken identity that they should have verified? Not acceptable. I don’t know how much I trust SCOTUS to correct this, either.
@clacke From what I saw in the past on linuxcontainers.org, I thought Canonical already controlled LXD. But I guess they were just "the creator and main contributor":{https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/}.
They should have moved as much as possible out of #Russia ... since 2022-MAR, assets held in Russian entities have been in danger of freezing or seizure. (And of course Russian assets held in US & EU nations are likewise subject.)
Watching part of this series about #Farcaster trying to see what it is, what it promises, what it provides, what it doesn’t do, and whether it is worth the effort.
I think all the North American deserts are rain-shadow deserts. By this I mean that in the direction of the prevailing winds, there are mountain ranges that parallel the coastline. Most of the moisture is squeezed out of the air by going over the mountains ⛰️ leaving large areas where the annual evaporation exceeds the annual rainfall.
This is exacerbated by the fact that the oceanic currents West of us are relatively cold. They don’t add as much moisture to the atmosphere as warm currents do.
There are several different deserts 🏜️, which can be divided along elevation, geology, precipitation, other climate measures, and by the biological organisms that live there. So for instance, the #High_Desert and #Intermediate_Desert ares of !SoCal have specific plants 🌱 and animals that live there. The #Low_Desert consist of multiple sub deserts with different climates and life forms. These deserts are generally located at lower elevations as well as being to the south of the other deserts. Most of the Low Deserts are subsets of the Sonoran Desert.
The !SoCal #High_Desert (elevation 3000 feet and higher) and #Intermediate_Desert (below 3000 feet, but still higher and more northerly than the low deserts), which are portions of the #Mojave_Desert, are expecting peak temperatures of 100⁰F / 38⁰C and up, while the #Low_Desert (including the Colorado Desert, Sonoran Desert, and a couple of other smaller deserts) are expecting 110⁰F / 43⁰C and up.
Excessive heat warnings issued across much of desert areas of #CA, #NV, #AZ. Stay out of the heat as much as possible.
