This is a #FediHire post, but it's not about technology, so I don't know how helpful the fediverse will be.
I have a PHD in math and nine years of experience teaching university students. I want to leave higher education and become a high school math teacher, but I am not certified.
I'm in the U.S. and have no easy way to leave. I also can't go four years without an income or health insurance.
What states would be the easiest for me to get at least provisionally certified to teach in?
Also keep in mind that I'm trans, so I am only willing to move to a state where it's legal for me to interact with teenagers and get health care.
This is a 1500 kg meteorite fallen in Campo del Cielo, Chaco, Argentina. It is about 4.5 billion years old (yes, about as old as our planet). It is the oldest thing I have ever seen and touched in my life. It is the only thing from space that I have ever touched. It is metallic: iron and nickel. It is impressive.

A couple of things about these claims circulating that the 2024 election was "rigged":
1. The supposed "proof" is essentially the same nonsensical statistical gobbledygook that the MAGA people were claiming about 2020, with the parties reversed.
2. There is no legal mechanism to "recount" an election after the results are certified. None. The ship has sailed.
3. SHOCKINGLY, they need funds to continue their "work"
4. Nope, not linking to it. Not giving them oxygen.
An important difference between this and the 2020 fraud claims is that here, you don't see the supposedly "defrauded" candidate amplifying the BS. Harris wants no part of this.
Also, you don't get a discount on an overpriced pillow for donating.
what do you think about the post facto research on the Florida recount in the 2000 election? Some work by the New Yorker, for instance, suggests that if the recount had continued, Gore would have had more votes.
right. So, your concern is less about digging up the details of the 2024 election, and more about using whatever is uncovered (which is pretty patchy and unconvincing) to try to change the current government.
@evan Also, they’re ripping people off based on a false hope and evidently meritless claims, promising a remedy that isn't possible. But other than that…
Sort of like, it's fine to seek the truth, but the truth now isn't going to deliver the promise being made when asking you to donate money to assist in uncovering the truth.
I understand that finding the truth now won't overturn the certified election. But, *IF* there did end up being proof of actual vote manipulation, the individuals that did so could still be held accountable at least right?
@finner @evan Go for it. But understand a few things:
- the supposed "smoking guns" indicating fraud in 2024, like those put forward in 2020, aren't really anything.
- elections are ultimately human endeavors, run by fallible people, and small but inconsequential "irregularities" are normal and expected. But it's often very easy to make them seem much more sinister and significant than they are.
- versions of almost everything claimed about 2024 were claimed by the MAGA people in 2020.
It's part of President Trump's crackdown on foreign nationals from countries that fail to meet "established benchmarks and requirements" for remaining in the US.
@DrChris ⚔️ Especially you don't get to choose when you are the aggressor. Personally I am tired of Israels arrogance, they've stolen territory from every neighboring country, they've committed genocide against the Palestinians. They hardly deserve protection, they are evil incarnate.
@DrChris ⚔️ No I am a realist. Let's say for example, the US does decide to aid Israel, and then Russia decides to aid Iran, and then we get into a kinetic war with Russia, then what if it goes nuclear? If it does the war will be over in an hour and so will humanity. Your decision not to be involved won't prevent your corpse from glowing in the dark.
Your examples is the very reason we shouldn't be involved - to no escalate.
Is Iran the reason people can't afford houses in America? The reason fentanyl is everywhere? The reason people go bankrupt from a car accident requiring hospitalization?
@DrChris ⚔️ It is not unrelated, China retaliates against tariffs placed on it in part because of fentynal manufacturer and importation into the US, by buying oil from Iran and so there is a financial interest to cut-off that source. The trade imbalance certainly impacts our financial well being and hence the affordability of housing and everything else. So yes there is a relationship there. The truth of the matter EVERYTHING and EVERYONE are inter-related to some degree.

@Synclair I'm more curious about the bright red shot on the planet, since this is IR it means it's a hot region. What can make a small hot region on a gas giant? And then why are the rings so bright in the IR?
@Synclair I'm wondering if it isn't a storm like Jupiter's great red spot but on a smaller scale, but bringing heat up from lower in the atmosphere just as hurricanes on Earth do.
@DrFell (Disgruntled Citizen)✅️ @Synclair On my monitor it is not a true red but it is certainly more towards the reddish end of the spectrum than the yellow appearing rings.
Tulsi Gabbard’s new video about the horrors of nuclear war is, indeed, scary — just probably not in the way she intended, says Bloomberg Opinion columnist Marc Champion. (Source: Bloomberg)
it is supposed to help with sleep. If you can reduce or eliminate artificial light sources it is good for keeping your circadian rhythm in line. If you need to have light on, red has the least effect.
Also, on the other side, you are supposed to get natural sunlight as close as you can to when you wake up.
@DrFell this isn't that kind of red light, but I know what you are talking about. This is just regular red light bulbs to stimulate your eyes less at night.
I can recommend the breathwork stuff. Just doing 4:4:4:4 'box breathing' usually puts me to the edge of sleep at night.
@Richard On a side note, while not a big fan of this blue light / red light stuff, I don't use nightshade on my monitor because I'd rather have good color rendition. That said why do LED bulbs produce no red? Deep red phosphors are expensive, but direct RED LEDs are not, so why don't they just include some native red leds in the bulb to provide a more balanced color rendition?
@DrFell she's out worshiping the sun every morning at daybreak. I keep asking her to yell "AVE SOL INVICTUS" while raising both arms, but she won't do it. 😕

So I got struck by lightning a long time ago and the most important thing I took away from that is just how simply quickly the human brain can comprehend what is happening
You see a bolt of lightning strike a tree and it happens within 1 millionth of a second. When you get struck, that lasts for several minutes. Immediately your brain tells you to just drop to the floor. You can’t. You don’t even have the time to turn your body off and hit the ground. Time doesn’t exist anymore.
But what your mind does, is revolve through every single scenario in one billionth of a second. It’s fascinating how fast it calculates when it needs to.
Eventually, it ends up with, “well I guess this is how I die now” Not fun.
I mean I didn’t die (clearly) but I certainly didn’t dodge a bullet there
So hear is something that often goes round and round in my head. Why or what is being waited for to expose to all the mess that the vaccine caused and may still be causing?? If there is a ‘cure’ why haven’t we been told??? (I know ‘we’ are more informed than others) why are they still on the market? I know we have free will but the programming is still strong. No matter how you spin it it just doesn’t make sense that no attention has been brought and nothing is being done. 1/2

Just too many questions and no answers and a glaring void. It’s very troubling that such a life threatening problem is ignored.

Political studies like to separate out those with college degrees and those without.
I never understood what the implication is. In that demographic are doctors, lawyers and research scientists. Along side graphic designers, HR personnel, and disk jockeys.
These people have nothing in common except they ate at the same cafeteria for 4 years.
it’s because they try to lump the value of all college degrees into the averages. Have you ever met a CEO or C-Suite executive of a Fortune 500 company without a college degree? Or a Doctor, Lawyer, etc…
If they are in the averages they make college degrees seem significantly more valuable.
Western-friendly policy influencers and policymakers in India might now feel vindicated after claiming for a while already that the group no longer aligns with their country’s interests as much as before.
Sorry, this is going to come across as a newbie rant... mostly because I just switched a few months ago. I'm not completely unfamiliar with Linux. I had to use Unix in college for some projects. I've dual-booted with Windows before. I use a Mac at work. I'm reasonably comfortable in the console, though I'm certainly no expert. I feel like what I'm about to talk about shouldn't be so confusing/unintuitive.
I'm running Kubuntu on an older laptop. I have a burnable DVD disc that may or may not be blank. The disc is old, scratched, and unlabeled, but I would like to see if anything is on it.
I press the eject button on my laptop's disc drive. The tray comes out. I insert the disc and close the tray. The system gets busy trying to read the disc, but eventually stops spinning. Nothing pops up. Dolphin doesn't show my disc drive in the "Devices" panel, or that there's anything in the drive. VLC says it can't read the disc.
Ok, fine. The disc is probably either empty, or it's too scratched to read and needs to be trashed, so I would like to remove it from my system. I push the eject button again, and... nothing happens. It's the same button I used to open the tray to insert the disc, but now it's unresponsive. I open Dolphin and confirm that it doesn't show that I even have a disc drive in the "Devices" panel (presumably because nothing's in it). I open the "Discs and Devices" section in the Notification tray, and the most I can get it to show is my hard drive. It's like my computer doesn't believe the DVD drive exists.
So, what do I have to do? I can open MakeMKV, and it has an Eject button that opens the tray. I'm sure plenty of other software has similar functionality. I can also open the terminal and type "eject", and the tray pops right open. Clearly, my system knows that there's a DVD drive, and it has the ability to open the tray.
Why doesn't the eject button work? Why doesn't Dolphin just always show the DVD drive? Why do I have to google "How to eject a dvd kubuntu"? What am I missing?
Most drives have an emergency eject function built in, totally independent of the operating system. Some work differently than others, but try something along these lines..
Hold the eject button for 5 to 10 seconds
Then tap the eject button multiple times
Usually works for me.
Edit: Most drives also have an emergency eject hole near the eject button, just push a straightened paperclip in when the drive is powered off and it should eject.
I did try holding the eject button for up to 15 seconds when I first noticed this issue, but that was ineffecive. I just tried it again so that I could try tapping the eject button afterward, but it didn't work, either.
I used the paperclip in the past. That works because it's mechanical.
It's been a little hit/miss for me at times as well, I totally feel your frustration when dealing with scratched discs. Still, at least with my drives, spamming the eject button seems to eventually work.

Iran has a large arsenal of ballistic missiles it can unleash on Israel, as well as on American military installations in the region. While initial waves can be intercepted, repeated attacks would swiftly deplete the Israeli and U.S.

I absolutely love spicy food, and it's never affected my gut. I was actually confused when I read about people getting the shits after a curry and wondered if it was a joke. I've had curries so hot it caused people to recoil into a coughing and sweating fit after they dipped their finger in and had a taste and I have one every other day. I feel the burning in my mouth, my face turns red, my forehead sweats, my esophagus feels weird, but (tmi I know lol) when I go to the toilet I'm completely fine. no gut pains either.

I'm talking about games that you still like but you had no idea were criticized so much.
The perfect example for me is Sonic Unleashed.
I admit that the game has its bad things, but I would have never imagined that it was so hated at the time... Although, that could be extended to the entire Sonic franchise, since for many years I was not aware at all of that "Sonic was never good", "Sonic had a rough transition to 3D" nonsense.
Mine was final fantasy 12. I played that game so hard, really enjoyed it and if was released in the time of trophies I would have platinumed it. Even did the grinding for Gilgamesh to spawn for a sword or something. But I was hated at the time.
Now everyone is saying it was one of the best and I was proved right all along.
Sure the story was star wars and the main character wasn't, but the combat system was really fun, way better than 13.
