The #National #Climatic #Data #Center is based in Asheville, North Carolina.
As I write this, the center's website remains offline.
That's because Asheville, a city in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, is the epicenter of catastrophic flooding from #Hurricane #Helene that has played out over the last week.
🔥The climate data facility is inoperable because water and electricity services in the region have entirely broken down due to flooding.

NPR fact-checked the Walz-Vance vice presidential debate. Here's what we found
JD Vance and Tim Walz debated in New York on Tuesday in the last scheduled debate of the election. The sparring was largely collegial, but a number of points on key issues require additional context or corrections.

If you self-identify as trans/nb/gnc and enjoy geeking out about absolutely anything, we'd love to see you! Please spread the word! ❤

Machine Learning Crash Course for Physicists in Three Easy Lessons
Written by Florian Marquardt, Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, Germany (originally developed for an ICTP Trieste Summer School in 2024).
This online book teaches machine learning to a physicist in three easy chapters. You should be able to work through them in three to four hours total, provided you know how to use python and have worked with numpy before.
You can run the code examples in your browser, without any installation, by clicking on the rocket (taking you to Google colab).

in reply to sibachian • • •Wider use of plastic pre-dates "wars for oil" and metal and timber are commodities that imperialists want to control just as much. They just have better control over those than they do oil right now.
Capitalism results in just as much human misery with regards wood, metal and glass production as it does plastic. There's no ethical consumption under capitalism because there's no ethical production under capitalism.
