Bullshit jobs?

I just started working at a fast food restaurant and am really just blown away by how much rewarding it is that my last job working at a social welfare agency “helping people.” There is almost ALWAYS something to do AND my work can be objectively measured, two things untrue of my last job. I’m trying to figure out what I want out of life, and work, and career, and I think this is really important to me: I actually need to be DOING something, something that I have direct control over, and something that I don’t NEED to say, “Look what a good job I did” because it is transparent. Part of the reason I think this is important to me is if these requirements are NOT met, then the job is essentially convincing OTHERS that you are good at your job and/or that they like you. If what you do is opaque, unclear, or hard to measure, you have to constantly be policing the social narrative around yourself and your work–two things I have absolutely no interest (or ability?) in doing. What’s been your experience?

Do women actually enjoy sex? edit: Am a woman, and just curious.

There are conditions where sex is painful that exist for both genders. Vaginismus is maybe 6% for women and phimosis is maybe 3% for men. Numbers on these things are tough to get as many people suffer them quietly thinking they are normal. If you or your partner experience issues it is important to know you are not alone and you have choices. That said some folks also just do not enjoy sex. Many certainly do, regardless of gender or physicallity. If you are having issues and you don’t want to, I would advise talking with someone you trust and also seeing a doctor. It is good to get a few viewpoints on issues like this as sometimes they can be dismissed.

Spent way too long building a feature rich YouTube Music desktop app for myself, might as well share it

My music setup was a pinned browser tab for years. It worked, technically. It also ate RAM doing nothing, my media keys only worked when that tab happened to be focused, and I killed the music at least once a week by closing the wrong window. There’s no official YouTube Music desktop app on Linux, and most of what exists is the same web player in an Electron shell. So I built my own. It’s called Limusic. Rust and Tauri, no bundled Chromium, audio goes through libmpv. You sign in with your actual YouTube Music account, so your playlists, likes and subscriptions are just there, and liking a song or adding it to a playlist syncs back like you’d expect. The part I actually care about is that it’s not bare bones: Proper MPRIS, so media keys and your now playing widget just work System tray, closing the window doesn’t kill the song, plus play/pause and skip from the tray Discord Rich Presence with album art and a live progress bar Last.fm scrobbling, connect once and forget about it Synced lyrics in a side panel, click a line to jump there Listen Together, synced rooms so you and a friend hear the same thing at the same time 8 themes, including Catppuccin, because obviously Gapless playback, volume normalization, shuffle, repeat, autoplay radio Your queue survives a restart Free and open source, GPL. AppImage (self updating) or an rpm for Fedora, which is what I daily drive. No Flatpak or AUR yet, both are on the list. There’s a Windows build too, and no macOS one yet. Would really love for people to try it, and I’d genuinely like to hear what everyone thinks. ❤️ Site: https://simohypers.github.io/limusic/ Downloads: https://github.com/SimoHypers/limusic/releases/latest Not affiliated with Google or YouTube, just a thing I made because I wanted it

With industry wary of Arctic Refuge, Alaska’s own government plans a lonely quest for oil

Northern Journal is merging with the Anchorage Press! Read our announcement and other informationhere, and support us with a subscriptionhere. Max Graham*Northern Journal* After decades of fierce debate over oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, oil companies largely appear leery of the idea. The contested swath of federal land, on Alaska’s Beaufort Sea coast, is politically fraught and far from existing roads and pipelines. And given the limited data on its geology, oil executives still aren’t sure how much petroleum is trapped underground. In spite of three federal lease sales of refuge land in the past decade — with the most recent sale just last month — not a single major oil company has bid. Instead, the industry is flooding into a different federal area far to the west, the National Petroleum Reserve–Alaska, where there are proven oil deposits and fewer political obstacles to development. But the decades-long quest to find oil in the Arctic Refuge isn’t over. The largest oil and gas exploration program in the area’s history could soon begin — funded not by companies like ConocoPhillips or ExxonMobil but by an arm of the state of Alaska. Alaska’s economic development corporation, the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority, known as AIDEA, is launching its own, up-to-$175-million plan to search for fossil fuels beneath the refuge’s coastal plain, a sliver of tundra along the Arctic Ocean. This map of Alaska’s North Slope shows the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the National Petroleum Reserve–Alaska and the oil fields at Prudhoe Bay, Alpine and Pt. Thomson. While AIDEA owns leases in the 1002 Area of the refuge, the oil industry has shown more enthusiasm about NPR-A. (U.S. Geological Survey) The state agency is the largest leaseholder in the refuge, having bought up more than 600 square miles since U.S. Congress opened the area to leasing in 2017. If AIDEA can acquire key permits, large trucks could roll across the frozen tundra as soon as next winter, shooting shockwaves deep underground to scan for oil reservoirs. But the plan faces stiff blowback, and it’s stirring up debate about the future of the Arctic Refuge and spending decisions by AIDEA — a state-owned corporation that’s already under attack by opponents of its pro-resource extraction agenda. AIDEA and its allies argue that its work will help prove the refuge contains vast amounts of oil, and could unleash a flood of corporate investment that would translate into jobs and state revenue for Alaska. Critics, meanwhile, say that a state entity shouldn’t take on the role, and risk, of an oil company — spending big in an area where industry has refused to invest. “They’re lone wolves out on the tundra, so to speak,” said Pat Pourchot, a former U.S. Department of Interior official who also once served as commissioner of the Alaska Department of Natural Resources. AIDEA was one of only two participants in the latest federal lease sale, along with a small Alaska gas producer, HEX. The two entities bid on just one-tenth of the acreage offered by the Trump administration. “Very serious concerns about reporting on ANWR” The exploration work that AIDEA now intends to fund is known as “3-D” seismic because it generates a three-dimensional image of rocks deep underground. That information would give analysts a much clearer and more detailed idea of what’s beneath the ground than older, 2-D data that was collected in the refuge in the 1980s. The effort could yield crucial insight into the area’s oil potential, said Mark Myers, a former director of the U.S. Geological Survey who’s also worked as a top land manager for Alaska state government. “You would need 3-D out there, quite clearly, to understand what’s under the ground,” Myers said. “Modern data will inform a lot.” Promising results could attract oil companies — but there’s no guarantee the data will be positive, he added. “Whether or not the oil is there is independent of what we want to believe,” Myers said. Oil prospecting is speculative work, typically the domain of private investors and companies with technical expertise — and a willingness to sustain big expenses that don’t always pay off. Merely searching for oil in the Arctic can cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and ramping up to production can cost billions. While AIDEA has loaned money to other oil and gas companies before, it has never overseen its own Arctic exploration program. Its staff is not made up of petroleum geologists nor other technical experts typically employed by oil firms. But in May, AIDEA’s governor-appointed board approved spending up to $175 million on the 3-D seismic testing, including “permitting and regulatory work.” It did not include money for drilling, which would typically come after seismic data has been collected. Industry experts say that budget is higher than usual for a season of seismic work on the North Slope. But the resolution does not specify how long the project will last, and AIDEA is not obligated to spend all the money approved by the board. In 2013, then-Gov. Sean Parnell’s administration proposed spending $50 million on oil exploration in the refuge, equivalent to some $70 million today when adjusted for inflation. But the Obama administration blocked that effort. AIDEA has not released details about its effort to gather seismic data, and officials with the agency declined to answer questions or release basic information about it, including an expected timeline. The agency has not yet applied for key permits from the federal Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, according to spokespersons for those agencies. “We’re advancing seismic. We’re advancing a drilling plan. We’re fighting the opponents of the project in the federal district court,” AIDEA Executive Director Randy Ruaro said at a board meeting last month. Ruaro did not respond to questions seeking clarification about his comments, though in a previous email to Northern Journal, he expressed “very serious concerns about reporting on ANWR and bias.” Some positive impacts of development of the refuge’s coastal plain “seem to get omitted from every story,” Ruaro added, pointing to potential revenue to state and local governments, royalties that oil producers would pay to the state and the resulting higher Alaska Permanent Fund dividend checks for state residents. Ruaro also said media coverage tends to ignore “the unfair treatment of Kaktovik,” an Iñupiaq community inside the refuge whose leaders support development, as well as “intentional discrimination against Alaska and North Slope oil and gas development by banks and insurers instigated by the Gwich’in.” Leaders of the Gwich’in, an Indigenous group in Alaska’s Interior and northwestern Canada, have long opposed drilling on the coastal plain. The area encompasses the calving grounds of a major caribou herd that migrates south into Gwich’in lands, where the animals are harvested for food. “Advocating for our way of life does not discriminate against anyone, but it most certainly doesn’t discriminate against massive corporations with huge stores of wealth that are making decisions based on financial return and risks,” Kristen Moreland, executive director of the Gwich’in Steering Committee, wrote in an email to Northern Journal. “We’re not going to do anything radical” To lay the groundwork for its seismic program, AIDEA is spending $1 million on a contract with a subsidiary of the North Slope’s Indigenous-owned corporation, Arctic Slope Regional Corp. — a longtime supporter of drilling in the refuge. The subsidiary, ASRC Consulting and Environmental Services, is working on community outreach, environmental studies and permitting related to the seismic program, according to documents that Northern Journal obtained through a records request. ASRC is also subcontracting with a Houston-based firm, SAExploration, that has been working on proposals for seismic testing in the refuge since 2018. A spokesperson for the ASRC subsidiary referred Northern Journal to AIDEA for comment. Under a separate, $70,000 contract with AIDEA, the ASRC subsidiary last year issued a glowing report on the coastal plain’s oil and gas potential. The report described the refuge as the most promising unexplored area in North America — excluding offshore deposits — citing historical data and large new discoveries on state land nearby. Decades ago, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated that as many as 16 billion barrels of recoverable oil lie beneath the coastal plain. This map shows the results of the latest federal lease sale on the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, where AIDEA is the the largest leaseholder. Most tracts offered were not bid on. (Bureau of Land Management) While the Legislature oversees AIDEA’s annual operating budget, the agency’s finances are separate from other government funds — and only certain kinds of spending, like issuing bonds over a certain amount, require specific legislative approval. Still, some lawmakers aren’t convinced that seismic testing in the refuge is the best use of AIDEA’s money “I do think that the scale of some of these projects — the type of development that they pursue, and the lack of oversight on that development — does really raise questions about: What are our priorities as a state?” said Rep. Ashley Carrick, a Democrat from Fairbanks who chairs the House State Affairs Committee. Carrick introduced a bill last year that would require legislative approval of AIDEA spending proposals over $100 million. It failed to advance. Most of Alaska’s elected officials — as well as many Iñupiaq leaders in Kaktovik and across the North Slope — have pushed hard to open the Arctic Refuge to development, citing potential economic benefits. One longtime proponent, Republican U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, said the recent lease sale results “were not surprising, given the acreage already leased and the continued partisan push against responsible development.” Murkowski described the refuge as “basically unexplored,” suggesting that it could be similar to an oil-rich geologic formation, the Nanushuk, that was discovered only about a decade ago. That formation has since led to the industry’s revival in the petroleum reserve, to the west of the refuge. The coastal plain’s “true prospectivity can only emerge as leaseholders move forward under a federal administration willing to work with them,” Murkowski said in a statement to Northern Journal. The other petroleum company with leases in the refuge, HEX, has not announced plans for the area it acquired in the recent sale. “I’m here as an Alaskan trying to be a responsible developer for Alaska, so we have opportunities in the future for our kids and my grandkids,” said John Hendrix, HEX’s chief executive. HEX mostly produces natural gas in a different petroleum basin, Cook Inlet, near Anchorage. Hendrix declined to comment on the potential for partnering with AIDEA on development in the Arctic, but the two entities have worked together before. Two years ago, AIDEA opened a $50 million line of credit to HEX to fund the company’s drilling in Cook Inlet. Hendrix described HEX’s foray into the Arctic as a way to diversify his business. He would not say if the company is already planning work on its leases — and if so, when it might happen. “We’re a private company, and we keep that stuff tight to ourselves,” Hendrix said. “We’re not going to do anything radical. But we will do what we have to do to bring production forward.” The post With industry wary of Arctic Refuge, Alaska’s own government plans a lonely quest for oil appeared first on ICT.

Mamdani Is Right. Netanyahu Belongs Behind Bars.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani charged Benjamin Nentayahu with genocide, said he is unwelcome in New York City, and called for his arrest. Two years ago, that would have been unimaginable. Going forward, it should be a litmus test.

Got to watch this squadron of pelicans take advantage of ground effect to skim the water, just like Soviet Ekranoplanes did/do. Not the best photo admittedly but was pretty cool to watch them all just spread their wings and cruise pretty much until they were out of sight, with just a flap or two here and there. They are definitely are my fave bird.

Actually, the shock collaring was something the billionaires came up with. They had to hire a guy to tell them not to do it, because if you shock collar your own security guys they’re just going to kill you out of spite.

Nozick LAST Ch. 8 Recording for Substack Philosophy Class for Paid Subscribers

No essay today, sorry! I was going to write about something I have reason to think will be out very soon, but didn’t come out quite in time to write about it for this week’s Substack. Meanwhile, though, here’s the recording for the twenty-fourth session of our Substack philosophy class for paid subscribers. We’re finally done with Ch. 8! We should be able to knock out Chs. 9 and 10 in one Tuesday each in the next two weeks, then we’ll probably have to skip a week when I’m back in Michigan, and then we can move on to reading G.A. Cohen’s response-book Self-Ownership, Freedom, and Equality. Oh, and remember that this and all the previous class recordings so far can be found here.

Mini, spoiler free review of *Gateway*, by Frederick Pohl

In Earth’s future, tunnels are found on Venus that contain alien artifacts left behind hundreds of thousands of years ago. Later an asteroid is found that is riddled with tunnels and studded with nearly a thousand small ships, most of which are in working order. The ships will travel faster than light to a preset destination, and return automatically, but no one knows where the destination will be, and a significant percentage of ships either never return, or return with the crew dead. Of those that do return, many return with alien technology or data on valuable locations, making the crew very wealthy. This has set off a sort of gold rush, with people spending everything they have to get to the “Gateway" asteroid and gamble their lives on the chance to get rich. The story is told through the eyes of one such man, who has gotten to Gateway, but then is too scared to take a mission. This is an amazing book. I read it originally in the 80s (it was written in the 70s), and I believe this was my first reread since then. I can’t recommend it strongly enough. Edit: Sorry for the double post - I was having issues with my internet connection and was getting posting errors, but one of them must have worked. I deleted the other one.

For how long it is safe to use an EEn vial?

Look, with perfect conditions the vial should last until empty. I didnt mean to make you think that you cant empty it. As with everything in life, its all about risk tolerance. Especially with diy, how much risk are you personally willing to accept? If you feel that you can empty it, then i cant and wont tell you you cant. Do look for the things i mentioned in other thread, because that is important. But i made that thread because i had the same issue. I didnt want to throw that vial away. BUT i wasnt as careful as i am now with that particular vial, so i have not injected from it again. My second vial i have pushed past the 28 day thing, but thats because im sure i was careful. I guess my risk tolerance is low, i have a case with sanitized caps for the vials, wipe everything down before and after with alc pads, and i still wont go past 6 months. But thats also cause ill empty it before then So ultimately, because youre doing diy, its up to you. Definitely research, like you have been, and feel free to ask questions. I want you to be able to empty your vial, and im rooting for you. I was just trying to tell you the things i heard, and am living by now. ❤️❤️
