I think the origin of effective altruism was more "it's better to take a high-paying finance job and donate the excess money to charity than get a job at said charity" but I don't think many of them are actually donating half their incomes every year.

How's Pathfinder? People seem to like it, but I've also heard it described as number-crunchy like 3.5e which I think would be a step in the wrong direction.

Halogens make like 5x as much heat for the same amount of light.

I don't know how controversial it is but I said this a few days ago:

All guns should be ugly to discourage people from being weird about them.

No obviously the best bulb technology is a halogen that runs so hot you can't touch it with your bare hands while installing it or the oils will make it overheat.

Opened in 1990, the Metinvest coal mine is the biggest in Ukraine and one of the crusial factories for Pokrovsk, biggest employer and economic driver of the city and region. Up to 7000 people worked here before the war and around 4500 now. The mine producing the coke coal, specific coal essencial for steel production. If Russians will occupy or destroy the mine, it will create big problems for Ukrainian aconomy. To see how the mine works, we got up to the 800 meters deep tunnels and walked more then 4 km to the nearest coal-reach ground place,

How does this have so many obvious errors?

I definitely couldn't do a neutral write up but I can drop a few points that I think are often overlooked. I've been on hexbear since before the vegan comm existed (on other accounts) so while I haven't always been the most active, I've seen the whole history.

One key point is that hexbear vegans weren't content before VCJ joined. We already had the sense that hexbear was anti-vegan but we were quieter about it. Example (EDIT: fixed link).

There was already a strong cultural overlap between c/vegan and r/vegancirclejerk before the lifeboating. For example, dog diet crossed over here, and was to my memory the precursor to the VCJ hostilities. (c/dogdiet comm request, negative reaction to dogdiet posting).

But I just noticed who I'm replying to so idk why I'm even bothering.

Years ago I was wandering a large used bookstore with a new friend who vaguely knew I was communist; she saw a copy of "Mein Kampf" and said "you like stuff like this".

 
 

A major bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, partially collapsed Tuesday morning, possibly leaving a number of people in the river below, police said.

A spokesperson for Baltimore Police Department told NBC News that it had been notified of the incident at the Francis Scott Key Bridge, an enormous steel structure which carries the Interstate 695 over the Patapsco River southeast of the Baltimore metropolitan area.

“I can confirm at 1:35 a.m., Baltimore City police were notified of a partial bridge collapse, with workers possibly in the water, at the Francis Scott Key Bridge,” Detective Niki Fennoy said in a statement.

Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski, Jr. said on X that he was aware of the incident and in touch with the fire service chief, the mayor of Baltimore and other local officials. "Please pray for those impacted," he said.

NBC News has contacted the U.S. Coast Guard and other emergency response agencies for further details.

The Maryland Transport Authority confirmed that the I-695 was shut because of the Key Bridge collapsing due to a "ship strike."

Built in 1977 and referred to locally as the Key Bridge it later named after the author of the American national anthem. The bridge is more than 8,500 feet, or 1.2 miles, long in total. Its main section spans 1,200 feet and was one of the longest continuous truss bridges in the world upon its completion, according to the National Steel Bridge Alliance.
