On occasion, I'll have to work with markdown files, sometimes with inline LaTeX. I'm surprised how limited my options are, or I'm looking in the wrong places. Pandoc does the job, but the lack of a integrated graphical workflow isn't my cup of tea.
Has anyone found a good graphical markdown editor that can handle inline LaTeX and doesn't pull a gigabyte of dependencies? Preferably also can render the final output to PDF.

This is a HUGE problem, for the climate hysterics, as all their predictions went out the window. They NEEDED the Arctic and Antarctic to keep warming and losing ice.
The Antarctic getting colder and gaining ice represents a complete rejection of their CO2 warming conjecture. As with the "missing heat" from 1998 to 2014, they claim that this is "just a temporary trend change" and that warming will continue shortly, but that's just the thing - the cooling periods invalidate all their claims. They weren't supposed to happen and do not show up in their models, i.e. the hypotheses underlying their models are wrong.

Exclusive: US #CDC #vaccine presentation cites study that does not exist, author says
A review on the use of the preservative thimerosal in vaccines slated to be presented on Thursday to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's outside vaccine committee cites a study that does not exist, the scientist listed as the study's author said.
#Trump #RFKJr #AI #HHS #science #medicine #idiocracy #kakistocracy
reuters.com/business/finance/u…
The report, called "Thimerosal as a Vaccine Preservative" published on the #CDC website on Tues, is to be presented by Lyn Redwood, a fmr leader of the #AntiVaccine group Children's Health Defense.
cdc.gov/acip/downloads/slides-…
It makes reference to a study called "Low-level neonatal thimerosal exposure: Long-term consequences in the brain," published in the journal Neurotoxicology in 2008, & co-authored by UC Davis Professor Emeritus Robert Berman.
But acc/to Berman, "it's not making reference to a study I published or carried out."
Berman said he co-authored a similarly named study in a different journal - Toxicological Sciences - that came to different conclusions than those suggested by Redwood.
"We did not examine the effects of thimerosal in microglia... I do not endorse this misrepresentation of the research," he said.
Reuters is the first to report on the inaccurate citation from Redwood's planned presentation.

NEW: Government contractor agrees to Pay $6.5 Million to the DOJ for Fraud
Washington River Protection Solutions reportedly fraudulently overcharged the U.S. Dept of Energy for millions of dollars in labor hours.
This is not the first time that WRPS has settled allegations of committing fraud. In 2017 they paid $5.2 million to resolve allegations that it knowingly submitted false claims to DOE for overtime and failure to comply with its internal audit requirements.
How do these companies STILL get contracts after committing FRAUD?!
This is the tip of the iceberg. The fraud runs rampant with government contractors.

But I had the opposite problem with Diaspora and Hubzilla where the raw BBcode or Markdown was getting sent.
You could talk to the Friendica devs about trying to get the formatted HTML sent, then you'd just need the postbox stylesheet on the wafrn server to display them properly.

NEW YORK CITY—The Democratic Party Primary for New York City Mayor has been a battleground between the moribund boss-aligned business unionist misleaders and a burgeoning rank-and-file movement within the New York City labor movement.S.M. Cifone ATU Member (Labor Today)
Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time. Globally, millions of tons of plastic waste are produced every year, a large portion of which ends up in landfills or the natural environment. Recycling efforts have been slow to address the vast quantities of plastic waste generated, often due to challenges in traditional recycling methods. However, pyrolysis technology is emerging as a promising solution for the sustainable recycling of plastics, offering both environmental and economic benefits.
Pyrolysis involves the thermal decomposition of organic materials, including plastics, at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen. The plastic pyrolysis machine breaks down complex plastic polymers into simpler hydrocarbons, yielding valuable products such as pyrolysis oil, carbon black, and combustible gases. The key advantage of pyrolysis is that it can handle a wide range of plastic types, including those that are not typically recyclable through conventional methods, such as mixed plastics or plastic waste contaminated with food or chemicals.
Unlike mechanical recycling, which often requires plastics to be cleaned and sorted, pyrolysis is a more flexible and scalable process. It can process plastics directly without the need for extensive pre-treatment, reducing the time, energy, and resources typically associated with conventional recycling operations. The flexibility of the process makes it a suitable solution for tackling the plastic waste crisis at scale.
Plastic pyrolysis offers numerous environmental benefits compared to traditional waste management techniques. First and foremost, plastic into fuel machine significantly reduces the volume of plastic waste that ends up in landfills or the ocean. The conversion of plastic waste into reusable products prevents the accumulation of non-biodegradable materials, which would otherwise persist in the environment for centuries.
Moreover, pyrolysis helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with plastic waste disposal. When plastic waste is incinerated or left to decompose in landfills, it releases harmful emissions such as carbon dioxide and methane, both of which contribute to global warming. Pyrolysis, however, captures and converts these emissions into useful byproducts, reducing the overall carbon footprint of plastic waste management.
Additionally, pyrolysis helps minimize the environmental degradation caused by plastic pollution. By converting plastics into valuable resources, the process reduces the need for raw materials used in the production of new plastics, helping to alleviate pressure on natural resources. This shift toward a circular economy model – where waste is minimized, and resources are continuously reused – has the potential to reshape the way industries approach plastic production and disposal.
Beyond its environmental benefits, pyrolysis offers significant economic potential. The pyrolysis plant can generate valuable products that have a broad range of industrial applications. For instance, the oil produced through the pyrolysis process can be refined into fuels, such as diesel or gasoline, that can be used to generate energy or power vehicles. This makes pyrolysis an attractive option for regions or industries seeking to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels.
Furthermore, the carbon black produced during pyrolysis is widely used in industries such as rubber, construction, and electronics, adding additional value to the process. The combustible gases released during pyrolysis can also be captured and used as fuel to power the pyrolysis plant itself, reducing operational costs and improving the overall efficiency of the system.
In a market increasingly driven by sustainability goals, adopting pyrolysis technology can also offer businesses a competitive advantage. Companies that invest in advanced waste-to-energy technologies like pyrolysis can tap into growing consumer demand for environmentally friendly products and services. In addition, governments around the world are offering incentives for industries that adopt green technologies, further increasing the attractiveness of pyrolysis as an investment.
As global plastic production continues to rise, traditional recycling systems are becoming increasingly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of plastic waste. Pyrolysis provides a sustainable solution to this problem, offering a method to recycle plastic waste into useful products while reducing environmental harm.
The scalability and efficiency of pyrolysis make it an ideal technology for large-scale plastic waste processing. The flexibility of the process allows it to be adapted to a variety of feedstocks, from consumer plastic waste to industrial plastic byproducts. As the technology continues to mature, it is likely to play a central role in the global effort to reduce plastic pollution and promote a circular economy.
In addition to its environmental and economic benefits, pyrolysis also aligns with global trends toward energy transition and sustainability. As the world moves away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy, pyrolysis offers a promising alternative that can generate energy from waste materials, helping to bridge the gap between traditional energy sources and cleaner, more sustainable solutions.
The promise of pyrolysis as a solution for plastic waste management is clear. It offers a comprehensive approach to recycling that addresses both environmental concerns and the growing demand for valuable resources. By transforming plastic waste into usable products like oil, carbon black, and gases, pyrolysis presents an opportunity to close the loop on plastic waste and create a more sustainable and circular economy.
As the technology continues to evolve, and as governments and businesses increasingly prioritize sustainability, pyrolysis has the potential to become a cornerstone of global plastic waste management strategies. The transition to a more sustainable, efficient, and profitable method of recycling plastics will require investment, innovation, and collaboration across industries. However, with the right technological advancements and regulatory support, pyrolysis could reshape the future of plastic recycling and play a pivotal role in mitigating the plastic pollution crisis.
