Salt replaces silt, from over intensive crop plantings. Both the water and silt distribution of the Nile, which sustained one of the longest continuous civilizations has been choked. The above clearly underlines the biome / fertility destructive dynamics of “development”. Instead of knowledge […]

“ Modern farmers along the Nile are some of the world’s foremost users of chemical fertilizers—conveniently produced in new factories that are among the largest users of power generated by Nasser’s dam. Now, for the first time in seven thousand years, Egypt—home of humanity’s most durable […]

The real existential threat!

A cartoon called "Existential Threat"

A slim young man standing in front of a bank counter. He's dressed in a black sweater, a black basque hat and is smoking a cigarette.

He says to the woman behind the counter: "Hand over the money, or I'll explain the absurdity of all human activity."

#OpenAI could have enjoyed revenue & smaller losses by selling billions of $1 dollar bills for 50 cents each, instead of what they actually did. Or if they set fire to ½ $ and then handed the ½ $ to investors. OpenAI have discovered a convoluted yet outstandingly effective way to annihilate […]

The complaint against LAPD for raiding a medical imaging place bc they thought it was a grow up, getting their rifle stuck to the MRI, and quenching the magnet is jaw dropping even for regular cop incompetence […] [Original post on neuromatch.social]

Based on his
15 years
 as an LAPD officer and
twelve hours
 of narcotics training, and  based upon the presence of security cameras (typical of any reasonable commercial  business), tinted windows (a reasonable practice for any medical facility concerned with  patient privacy), high power usage (as any diagnostic facility), the alleged odor of cannabis plants (in a busy shopping plaza with no prior reports), the absence of a cultivation permit (which no diagnostic healthcare facility would possess), and the  presence of two men wearing identical company-branded shirts (unexpected of individuals involved in illegal cultivation), OFFICER FRANCO found probable cause for cannabis cultivation at the TARGET PREMISES
Considering the search yielded no live cannabis plants or any other contraband, and the detained employee had already been released, it was evident—or should have been—that any further action taken by the LAPD Officers would exceed the scope of the search warrant. 40.
 
However, some LAPD Officers continued to roam freely throughout the TARGET PREMISES, casually engaging in conversation with one another. The whole operation was nothing short of a disorganized circus, with no apparent rules, procedures, or even a hint of coordination. 41.
 
At 5:01 PM, an LAPD Officer was observed standing in front of the MRI office door, reading the sign that read, “Warning. Magnetic Field. High Frequency Yield. Metal Parts and Medical Instruments of All Types prohibited.” Additionally, the warning sign displayed photographs of items prohibited in the room, which included scissors, screwdrivers, keys, watches, and credit cards. 42.
 
The LAPD Officer then proceeded to the end of the hallway and returned a few seconds later with another LAPD Officer.
Said LAPD officer, dangling a rifle in his right hand, with an unsecured strap, approached the MRI Office, glanced at the large warning sign on the door, reopened the door with his left hand and proceeded inside. 44.
 
Expectedly, the magnetic force of the MRI machine attracted the LAPD Officer's loose rifle, securing it to the machine. 45.
 
The MRI machine was equipped with a sealed emergency pull button labeled, "Caution, Emergency Use Only." This button was intended to be activated solely in the event of a genuine emergency, such as a health risk to a patient inside the machine, a fire, or an evacuation situation. 46.
 
Rather than seeking assistance from the on-site employee, or waiting for the manager’s arrival, one of the LAPD Officers made the unilateral decision to break the seal and activate the emergency shutdown button, deactivating the MRI machine.
This action caused the MRI's magnet to rapidly lose superconductivity, leading to the evaporation of approximately 2000 liters of helium gas and resulting in extensive damage to the MRI machine. 48.
 
The LAPD Officer then grabbed his rifle, this time wearing the strap over his shoulder as he should have when he entered the MRI room, and proceeded to walk toward the entrance, leaving the magazine full of bullets on the floor of the MRI office.
