The committee’s 520-page #report, released on 2 December, offers no new direct #evidence of a lab leak, but summarizes a circumstantial case, including that the #Wuhan Institute of #Virology (WIV) used #NIAID money to conduct “gain-of-function” studies that modified distantly related #coronaviruses.

Fuel Exhaustion Forces Emergency Landing On Texas Road
A twin-engine Piper Navajo made an emergency landing on a busy road in Victoria, Texas, after running out of fuel, according to the FAA.
...
The FAA’s preliminary report noted the aircraft struck two vehicles before splitting in half at a busy intersection. Victoria police provided an update Thursday, confirming that three of the four people injured on the ground were treated and released from the hospital, while a fourth individual remains in stable condition. The pilot, who was the aircraft’s sole occupant, was also treated and discharged.
The pilot is going to wear that one.
En France et en Europe, combattre les puissants pour lutter contre la mort au travail
Alors que chaque jour en Europe neuf salariés meurent au travail – dont trois en France – nous organisons avec ma collègue Marina Mesure et mon groupe « The Left – la Gauche au Parlement européen » une grande initiative européenne contre la mort au travail, qui sera diffusée en direct.
En France et en Europe : combattre les puissants pour lutter contre la mort au travail !
En Europe, chaque jour 9 salariés meurent au travail, près de 3 millions de travailleurs sont victimes d’accidents du travail et chaque année, 200 000 travailleurs meurent de maladies professionnelles.

Another nasty accident right outside my apartment.
It was so loud I thought someone had dropped a huge item from the balcony.
3 people are injured, one seems to be critical. Police and ambulance are here. Don't feep like going down to look at what is happening. But I just can't understand how such accident can happen on a 50kmph road in a city right between 2 traffic lights.
I have seen more accidents on this road than I have seen in my entire life in all the places I have lived before.
Industrial #robot crushes man to #death in South Korean distribution centre
A robot crushed a man to death in South #Korea after the machine apparently failed to differentiate him from the boxes of produce it was handling, the Yonhap news agency reported on Wednesday.
Do you remember the ethical discussion about whether self-driving cars should hit a child or an elderly person when in doubt? I always thought the discussion was misguided because the sensors can't even separate a person from a box.
Should Fukushima Release Radioactive Water?
(long read + video ;))
Kyle Hill - Should Fukushima Release Radioactive Water?
https://youtu.be/UwFoOVyB40s
https://redirect.invidious.io/UwFoOVyB40s
Disclaimer: I might not have as much knowledge about radiation as kyle hill, but still i'm pretty good and deep into this topic for neurodivergent reasons and out of curiosity/interest. ;)
So ..... _that_ they're going to release this water, was a non-issue for me from the get go. Other nations and power plants release _far_ more radioactive residue per year, as fukushima daiichi is going to release. (On top of that, he says that in the video, we have about 8 kilogram of diluted thorium in the oceans. The amount of thorium in the water which will be released over _decades_ is _just_ 3 grams.)
Kyle Hill nicely show up the facts, provided from tepco, but they are in accordance with international scientific standards.
On top of that, he actually takes a tour to the power plant, looks at the cleaned water itself.. And feels confused.
I have to second that. They tried to make american class advertising premium quality bullshit PR.
Going along with kyle, i agree. Still. While ethically not so ideal and perfect. They need to get their word out.
And, there is no viable alternative as to treat the water as best as chemically possible.... and release the remaining bit of thorium we can't get out into the oceans.
For ah so many reasons sadly.
But _ONE_ which is actually the reason, which turned me away from the "nuclear bridge technology" idea and concept.
That we could and should use nuclear power, as a bridge, for powering us while we try to build alternative and regenerative power sources like wind and solar energy.
And _my_ personal reason, why the fukushima daiichi accident actually really and completely changed my mind, is similar to the reason, why they now need to start to release that water.
It's basically business administration and economics.
We can't economically build really safe nuclear power plants, where we include _all_ costs, from the mining for resources, building a plant, purifying fuels, maintaining fuel and plant, recycling fuel as far as possible, and safely dismantle a plant after it's lifetime _and_ store all the irradiated and naturally radioactive stuff until it becomes harmless lead in millions of years.
It's just not possible.
In a perfect utopia, where our main focus would not be the creation of profit, but research and safe handling of technology.. It would maybe be possible.
But in this capitalistic world? No way ever ... sadly, but realistically.
Like, it was the frickin main reason in chernobyl as well as in fukushima:
Both plants essentially failed not just by neglect or bad management. But because at some point, someone took the cheap route..
Costing thousands of ppl their lives and millions of ppl their homes.
That's why i principally think, nuclear energy is a bad idea. We can't handle it safely .. and as long as capitalism rules the world, we never will be.
Getting that out.... Kyle Hills video is really good and gives a few things to think about .... not just for today, but for the future too. ;)
And still ... they need to get rid of all that treated water... Again, for freaking economical reasons... _meh_

Ce n'est pas une bonne idée d'avoir un accident un samedi après-midi de mois d'été...
🐧Il faut attendre le lundi pour avoir une voiture de prêt, et donc annuler une expo-vente le dimanche.
🐬 Les garages sont fermés ou débordés et refusent de prendre les voitures accidentées qui restent alors lamentablement au dépôt du dépannage, sans passage d'expert, sans réparation ou indemnisation.
🐠 Les loueurs de voitures n'ont plus vraiment de véhicules disponibles, sûrement pas à la bonne taille pour mon métier qui nécessite du transport de gros matériel.
🐟 Ça prend du temps, de l'énergie et de la charge mentale pour gérer le bordel.
🦐 Il faut trouver un médecin disponible dans les 4 jours pour constater les dommages physiques et psychologiques alors que même les médecins sont en vacances.
🦀 Quand on est déjà fatiguée et en stress par ailleurs, ça peut faire péter les plombs et avoir envie de tout envoyer bouler.
Je n'en veux pas à la femme qui a été inattentive, a brûlé un stop et une priorité et nous est rentré dedans. Ça aurait pu être moi. Mais quand je vois l'impact qu'une autre conductrice peut avoir sur ma vie, et encore, nous ne sommes pas blessées et je suis bien assurée tous risques, j'ai envie de demander très fort à tous
☀️🌿🌸 D'ÊTRE VRAIMENT PRUDENTS SUR LA ROUTE 🌸🌿☀️
Ce n'est pas une phrase anodine, ce n'est pas un concept vain. On peut vraiment mettre les autres en difficulté ou pire, les tuer. Evidemment tout le monde le sait, hein, mais un rappel est toujours utile, non?
💝 BISOUS 💝
