Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It’s not a trap, this is where the fun begins. ========== Other universes to visit: [email protected] [email protected] Separatist systems: [email protected] Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps): [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ========== IMPORTANT Please do not post the “good friend” or similar copypasta ========== Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few. The general idea is, if you’re looking here for rules, you’re probably someone who doesn’t need to have them spelled out. You’re fine. But anyway: This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that’s meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart… Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other. As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side! Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it’s a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn’t concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it’s about something related to Star Wars. Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost). Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
For years, Darwin residents have been concerned about toxic chemicals emitted by the city’s two gas export facilities. In fact, some locals are so worried about these airborne chemicals—particularly benzene—they recently formed a community group and launched a fundraiser to buy a regulation-grade mobile device for continuous monitoring.

Official figures report 1,943 deaths, 10,571 injuries and nearly 20,000 survivors following rescue and evacuation efforts. Six days after twin earthquakes struck Venezuela, government authorities reported that national and international rescue teams have pulled 6,461 people alive from the affected areas since June 24, while the official death toll has risen to 1,943 and the number of injured to 10,571. RELATED: Venezuela Receives Brazilian Technical Support Post-Quake Presenting the latest official assessment, National Assembly President Jorge Rodríguez said search and rescue operations continue in the disaster zone, led by Venezuelan emergency agencies with support from international brigades. Rescue operations According to government census data and drone surveys conducted in La Guaira state, which remains under a disaster declaration, an estimated 30,000 people were in the coastal communities of Caraballeda and Catia la Mar when the earthquakes struck. Hospital surveys and witness testimonies indicate that between 13,400 and 13,500 people evacuated the affected areas on their own or with assistance from relatives and others. Combined with those rescued by emergency teams, authorities estimate that 19,861 people survived the disaster in the central coastal region. Rodríguez described the work carried out by rescue brigades as “heroic, marked by courage, patience and perseverance.” He said that 2,407 people were rescued during the first day of operations in the disaster corridor covering Catia la Mar, Macuto, Caraballeda, Los Corales and Tanaguarena, following the immediate deployment of Venezuelan emergency units and assistance from relatives.

La organización popular, la… — teleSUR TV (@teleSURtv) June 30, 2026 Text Reads: Six days after the double seismic event that struck Venezuela, the country has demonstrated an immense human and supportive response. In the most affected areas, despite the severe structural damage, communities have become a vital force. Popular organization, community unity, and the Venezuelan Government, along with civil society initiatives, sustain a collective effort to cope with the catastrophe, embracing the survivors and respectfully accompanying those who have suffered irreparable losses. On the second day, rescue specialists from the states of Mérida, Barquisimeto, Zulia, Falcón, Trujillo and Táchira joined the operation alongside the first international rescue teams, leading to the rescue of another 2,973 people. Joint operations recovered 731 survivors on the third day and 345 on the fourth day, while four additional people were rescued on the fifth day. During the early hours of the sixth day, rescue teams located and extracted a two-year-old child alive from the rubble. According to Rodríguez, the child is receiving specialized medical care in Caracas. The operation has involved 26,121 personnel from Civil Protection, the Bolivarian National Police, fire departments from several states and the Bolivarian National Armed Forces, supported by 51 international delegations, 3,660 foreign rescuers, 148 search dogs, 49 support vehicles and 15,467 registered volunteers. Casualties, humanitarian assistance and damage The official assessment confirms 1,943 fatalities, 10,571 injured people and 15,866 displaced residents. The government has established 14 temporary camps in La Guaira and another 55 shelters across Caracas, Miranda and other affected states. Rodríguez said that 28,380 people are currently receiving comprehensive assistance through hospitals and temporary shelters, while overall government assistance has reached 80,870 families. Authorities also reported the distribution of 3,191,692 liters of drinking water and 707,000 tonnes of international humanitarian aid to communities in the disaster zone. Technical assessments identified damage to 855 buildings nationwide. Of those, 189 collapsed completely—including 158 in La Guaira—while another 666 sustained severe structural damage or partial collapse. Rodríguez said that most of the buildings destroyed in Caraballeda were vacation properties, whereas the heaviest impact in Catia la Mar fell on permanently occupied residential buildings. Aftershocks decline Rodríguez said seismic activity has continued to decrease since the main earthquakes, with authorities recording a total of 689 aftershocks since the emergency began.

Jackson criticized her fellow justice’s “ahistorical” interpretation of the 14th Amendment. Echoing the Trump administration’s sentiments, Thomas argued in his dissent that the 14th Amendment “was designed and understood to secure equal rights for the freed blacks but has instead been repurposed for political projects that the Reconstruction Congress did not support.” Thomas also argued that the Civil Rights Act, which became the foundation for the 14th Amendment, had ensured citizenship to people born in the U.S. and “not subject to any foreign power.” “The Citizenship Clause [of the 14th Amendment], which the same Congress passed shortly after the Civil Rights Act, was understood to have the same meaning,” Thomas wrote. “It guaranteed citizenship to persons who were both ‘born . . . in the United States’ and ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof.’” Jackson called this “ahistorical,” denying that the “text at issue conferred citizenship only on freed Blacks and those in analogous situations.” Jackson also blamed the Trump administration and Thomas for repurposing the amendment, adding that the Civil Rights Act initially only included Black people but was later expanded to include people of all ethnic backgrounds.

Pioneers were basically modeled after Scouts, just replacing the religious aspects with political ideology. Usually Pioneers were only for ages up to 14 however. After Pioneers, you were expected to join the Young Communist organization (DISZ and later KISZ in Hungary) which was for ages 14-26. Like the other Jucika camp comic, this one also more likely references the youth labor camps usually run by DISZ/KISZ.

I’ve rented one from Safeway too. Don’t remember the cost, but I remember the results. Did a great job cleaning, so no complaints. I’ve been thinking about renting one again. Space is at a premium at my place, so I’m happy to not have to store one of those beasts.

“Libre software” means software that respects users’ freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. In particular, four freedoms define Free Software: The freedom to run the program, for any purpose. Placing restrictions on the use of Free Software, such as time ("30 days trial period", "license expires January 1st, 2004") purpose ("permission granted for research and non-commercial use", "may not be used for benchmarking") or geographic area ("must not be used in country X") makes a program non-free. The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs. Placing legal or practical restrictions on the comprehension or modification of a program, such as mandatory purchase of special licenses, signing of a Non-Disclosure-Agreement (NDA) or - for programming languages that have multiple forms or representation - making the preferred human way of comprehending and editing a program ("source code") inaccessible also makes it proprietary (non-free). Without the freedom to modify a program, people will remain at the mercy of a single vendor. The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor. Software can be copied/distributed at virtually no cost. If you are not allowed to give a program to a person in need, that makes a program non-free. This can be done for a charge, if you so choose. The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits. Not everyone is an equally good programmer in all fields. Some people don't know how to program at all. This freedom allows those who do not have the time or skills to solve a problem to indirectly access the freedom to modify. This can be done for a charge.

KATHMANDU — When Balendra Shah took office as Nepal’s new prime minister in March following a landslide victory for his party, he inherited a fuel crisis triggered by the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. His government faced a choice between speeding up the clean energy transition or shoring up the public finances needed to sustain it. In its May 29 fiscal policy, it chose the latter. Nepal imports fossil fuels at a cost of 300 billion rupees ($2 billion) a year, including cooking gas that it subsidizes about 9 billion rupees ($59.5 million) annually. On the “clean” side of that equation, nearly all its grid electricity comes from hydropower — so much so that it exports the surplus to India and Bangladesh during the wet season. And on sales of electric vehicles, Nepal ranks second globally, with EVs estimated to account for 73% of new car sales in 2025, thanks to lower import taxes compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. But the new government argues for a shift to raise revenue to fund grid upgrades that would make a clean energy transition possible in the first place. A former bureaucrat and a sitting official both told Mongabay that this logic is backward: that the tax revenue raised will be less than the savings in gas subsidies if it instead encouraged households to switch to electric stoves. In his maiden budget speech, Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle announced a 5% value-added tax on high-consuming electricity users, and fresh new taxes on EV…This article was originally published on Mongabay From Conservation news via This RSS Feed.

Die Anzahl der Rettungseinsätze in Köln am vergangenen Hitze-Wochenende war enorm. Allein am Samstag verzeichnete die Feuerwehr insgesamt mehr als 1.100 Einsätze, üblich sind etwa 500. In vielen Fällen konnten die Retter für die Patienten nichts mehr tun konnten. Nach vorläufigen Zahlen spricht die Polizei im Zeitraum zwischen Freitag und Sonntag von etwa 120 Toten in Köln. Das seien fast viermal so viele wie an einem gewöhnlichen Wochenende. […] Lechleutner nennt ein eindrückliches Beispiel für einen Notfall, zu dem die Einsatzkräfte am Samstag wegen der anhaltenden Hitze gerufen wurden: Ein Patient sei vom Einkaufen gekommen, habe sich hingesetzt und das Bewusstsein verloren. Die herbeigeeilten Rettungskräfte haben an der Person eine Körpertemperatur von 44 Grad Celsius gemessen. Die Reanimation war nicht erfolgreich, der Patient sei gestorben.

For the past two years, more than a dozen major banks have been not only reneging on their climate commitments, they’ve been actively making the crisis worse. In 2024 and 2025, during the leadup to President Donald Trump’s second inauguration, all six of the nation’s largest banks abandoned the Net-Zero Banking Alliance, a voluntary climate coalition, precipitating the Alliance’s complete shutdown in October. Since then, others including Royal Bank of Canada, Scotiabank, HSBC, NatWest, Santander, and JPMorgan Chase have either weakened or scrapped their decarbonization targets. Now, new evidence shows banks are ramping up spending on fossil fuels. Beyond helping companies extract more oil and gas, they are bankrolling the industry’s pivot to plastics, fertilizers, and other petrochemical products. Two reports released earlier this month illustrate the trend. An analysis from the Rainforest Action Network, or RAN, and other environmental groups found the world’s top 65 banks contributed $508 billion to companies expanding fossil fuel development in 2025. That’s a 27 percent increase since 2024, and more than any other year since at least 2016, based on the organization’s past analyses. The second report comes from the nonprofit Center for International Environmental Law, or CIEL. It found that, between January 2019 and June 2025, big banks gave the world’s top 15 petrochemical companies at least $591 billion in loans and underwriting. Some of that benefited integrated oil and gas corporations; the amount CIEL could directly attribute to petrochemical activities was $252 billion. (For context, New Zealand’s GDP is about $279 billion.) Together, the reports suggest that large financial institutions are enabling a long-term viability strategy for the fossil fuel industry, one in which declining demand for oil and gas in energy systems and transportation is offset by a boom in petrochemicals. Indeed, in recent years oil majors including Exxon Mobil, Shell, and Saudi Aramco have invested heavily in that field by, among other things, acquiring majority stakes in plastics and chemical companies and retrofitting oil refineries to accommodate a shift in production. These investments reflect projections from the International Energy Agency that plastics, agrichemicals, and other petrochemical products will account for more than one-third of the growth in oil demand through 2030, and nearly half of it by 2050 — much more than other sectors like aviation and shipping. “Petrochemicals are not just a general growth area for fossil fuel companies,” said Ximena Banegas, a plastics campaigner for CIEL and the author of the organization’s report. “They are a deliberate and pivotal strategy to ensure that we continue using fossil fuels.” Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, and the Japanese bank Mizuho Financial were among the top banks increasing financing for fossil fuel expansion last year, RAN’s analysis found. All 65 banks it analyzed boosted funding across the board for new oil and gas exploration, transportation, and refining. But the largest growth by far was for transportation — including new pipelines and capital-intensive LNG export terminals, which can create a decades-long commitment to using methane gas. “It’s overall disappointing,” said Allison Fajans-Turner, a senior energy finance campaigner for RAN. “Banks are unfortunately continuing to put profits over responsible societal action.” She noted that fossil fuel financing is becoming more concentrated among a smaller number of large banks, primarily those based in North America and Japan, as several European banks have begun to scale back funding. RAN’s report didn’t look directly at financing for the production of petrochemicals, but some of its findings indicate growing interest in this portion of the industry. A significant increase in loans and underwriting for coal expansion, for example, is at least partially linked to a recent spike in the number of coal-to-chemical plants planned globally — mostly in China and India. Environmental advocates say these investments risk giving coal “a new lease of life.” Read Next What’s driving up your expenses? Many Americans say climate change. Kate Yoder Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, and Mizuho Financial are also among the top funders of petrochemical activities, according to CIEL’s report. The top 15 recipients of this funding includes a mix of oil and gas, agriculture, plastics, and chemical companies, such as Exxon Mobil, Syngenta, LyondellBasell, and Dow. Although CIEL didn’t compare each year between 2019 and 2025, it did notice a significant jump in petrochemical finance in 2024, the last full year examined. As evidence of the industry’s ongoing expansion, Banegas pointed to a recent report estimating that 127 new polyethylene projects will come online between 2025 and 2030. CIEL’s report also notes the petrochemical industry’s outsize contribution to toxic chemical pollution and global warming. As of 2020, petrochemicals’ annual greenhouse gas emissions amounted to 1.9 billion metric tons, more than twice that of aviation and shipping. Fredric Bauer, a senior lecturer at Lund University in Sweden, has conducted similar research on petrochemical financing between 2010 and 2020. He said it’s not surprising to see continued interest in big plastics and chemicals projects, although it is perhaps counterintuitive. Despite warnings from industry analysts that the petrochemical industry is in “structural decline” — as shown by a large number of canceled or delayed projects, downgradings from multiple credit rating agencies, and the recent plastics and agrichemicals price shocks due to the war with Iran — companies keep investing because they often “do not respond to conventional market signals,” he said. Rather than say, ‘“Oh, there’s oversupply, we should probably not invest in more supply or production capacity right now,’” their priority is “to ensure long-term markets for oil and gas.” A coalition of advocacy groups including CIEL are calling on big banks to end their support for fossil fuel and petrochemical expansion. They’d like to see policies against financing companies building facilities to produce virgin plastics and fossil fuel-derived fertilizers. They also want banks to require clients to adopt credible transition plans to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit), which may include targets to reduce plastics use and phase out some pesticides. Fajans-Turner said the upward swing in fossil fuel financing reveals the weakness of voluntary sustainability commitments and reinforces the need for regulation. She suggested that, in addition to mandating more robust decarbonization plans from financial institutions, governments should require improved incorporation of climate risks when determining a borrower’s creditworthiness. “That would actually have many downstream consequences about who gets funding and who does not,” she said. Joel Tickner, a professor of public health at the University of Massachusetts Lowell and founder of an independent research initiative on sustainable chemicals, said it’s important that governments scale back loans and tax incentives supporting the fossil fuel industry, subsidies that amount to more than $1 trillion annually. Some of this money could help finance the development and commercialization of greener chemistry. Fossil fuel companies “have received decades of subsidies and financial support,” Tickner said. “If we’re serious about sustainable materials, then we need to put our money where we want to go.” This story was originally published by Grist with the headline Banks are financing the fossil fuel industry’s next growth strategy on Jul 1, 2026.

Just my educated guesses as a layman, but I agree with what others are saying in that a center channel would lead to more flooding in the streets. Side drains won’t flood streets or homes (unless its an actual flood) as both are elevated above said drains. Side drains also give 2x the holding capacity which further helps reduce water pooling on the road. Additionally, having it in the center of the road means any maintenance done on said drains is going to block both lanes of travel, and even if it doesnt, would put workers in a very dangerous working position.

Israel does compulsory service. All of their citizens over the age of 18 are soldiers or vets unless they were concientious objectors; in which case they go to israeli prison. This is one of the ways they manufacture consent when talking about retaliation against them.
