The Baal Shem Tov, the 17th century founder of Hasidic Judaism, notes in his ethical testament, Tzavaat HaRivash, that the swaying in prayer is similar and connected to the act of copulation. He writes, "prayer is zivug (coupling) with the Shechinah. Just as there is motion at the beginning of coupling, so, too, one must move (sway) at the beginning of prayer. Thereafter one can stand still, without motion, attached to the Shechinah with great deveikut."

Astronomers have confirmed the discovery of a rare celestial visitor: a comet from beyond our Solar System.

Officially named 3I/ATLAS, this newly identified interstellar object is only the third of its kind ever observed, following the famous 1I/ʻOumuamua in 2017 and 2I/Borisov in 2019.

Jeremy Corbyn hints at launch of new party as leftwing alternative to Labour
Jeremy Corbyn has hinted he could launch a political party alongside other leftwing independent MPs in an attempt to offer “an alternative” to Labour, before the next general election.

Speaking on ITV’s Peston programme, the former Labour leader confirmed discussions were under way among the Independent Alliance group of MPs that he co-founded last year.

Asked directly whether they were preparing to form a new party, Corbyn did not rule it out. “That grouping [of independents] will come together, there will be an alternative,” he said.

Don't remember why I don't like Grimerica, so giving that another chance. Also trying the Millennial Media Offensive. And some random podcasts from a libertarian podcast list.

I'm looking for podcasts
- with good sound quality
- that are entertaining
- that leave me feeling smarter at the end.

Point 1 is the real struggle. A lot of podcasts are poorly recorded, and I have no tolerance for that. Also, I usually listen in the car, so there's a lot going on, aurally.

BTW Russia is coming up the Southern Pivot -- I know I say it all the time -- but looks like they finished taking the last town that spans the coastal edge of the next to the last defensive line guarding the major Eastern supply route to the South (1/2). Once they get fire control there then they can collapse the last real defensive line. :shrugz:

Ukraine is still scrambling to send men down to defend, but looks like it's going to be too late to hold off a late Summer sweep. Likely why the US halted arms shipments as they will just be in Russia's hands as much as we have no stock left.

Houseplants are such a barometer of self care, although the flower pictured here is one I made from paper.

I have a weekly alert to water the houseplants, but it’s usually just a backup to remind me if I’ve been preoccupied. If I’ve been taking time for myself, I’ll water when they catch my attention by loosing their alertness, like a drooping ficus leaf or a leaning peace lily spike.
This week both the plants and I have been thirsty, despite the break from the heat. I’m noticing I’m drinking more water, even though I’ve been avoiding going out during the hottest part of the day. Are you staying hydrated?
Despite the bright hues, this color combination feels cooling to me. The green section below the “flower” unravels. I hid gifts inside the paper heliconia as I glued the spathes together. #bloomscrolling #color #fediart #houseplants

Orange bird of paradise flower on glowing fuschia background. It’s apparent from the leaves that the flower is made of paper. The cheek pocket below the bracts is substantial because it contains a series of gifts to unwrap including Tibetan prayer flags, tea and other self-care presents.

I very much admire Lara Logan. She is a fine journalist with keen instincts, but I have mixed feelings about the cleavage-revealing wardrobe she favors for her appearances and interviews.

One would dismiss her credentials at their peril if they base their opinion on how she dresses, and maybe that's a strategy on her part.

But I find it curious....

Τι συνέβη έξω από το νέο κυλικείο της Νομικής με την "εργαζόμενη" του ΕΜΠ Γεωργία Τύρου , που τελικά έχει τρία κυλικεία

youtube.com/watch?v=4LVuOCUoPR…

Πέμπτη (3/7), δεύτερη μέρα ανοίγματος του χώρου, ήμασταν και πάλι εκεί. Αυτή τη φορά το μαγαζάκι άδειο, με τρείς ΔΑΠίτες που δεν έμειναν και πολύ. Φωνάζοντας συνθήματα προσεγγίσαμε τον χώρο και ανοίξαμε το πανό μας μπροστά στην είσοδο. Αυτό δεν άρεσε πολύ στους κυλικιάρχες, που μας έβγαζαν βίντεο, έπαιρναν συνεχώς τηλέφωνα και μας επιτέθηκαν επανειλλημένα. Πολλές φορές προσπάθησαν να αρπάξουν το πανό, και η Γεωργία Τύρου, ούσα εκπαιδευμένη άλλωστε στις επιθέσεις, με το μένος της μία φορά σχεδόν τα κατάφερε, ενώ χρειάστηκε η επέμβαση του θυρωρού για να ηρεμήσει και να εμποδίσει τα χειρότερα... Παρόλα αυτά αργότερα ο συνέταιρός της δεν δίστασε να ρίξει χλέπες στον συγκεντρωμένο κόσμο.

...φάνηκε ξεκάθαρα ότι στρατηγική τους ήταν να προβοκάρουν για να προκαλέσουν ένταση ώστε να μπορούν να εδραιώσουν την παρουσία τους μέσω της θυματοποίησής τους και προκαλώντας την λύπηση προς το πρόσωπό τους διασπείροντας ψεύδη. Ξέροντας τον τρόπο που λειτουργούν και πώς στήνουν ψευδείς δικογραφίες τραβήξαμε και δικά μας βίντεο, στα οποία φαίνεται ότι τα αφεντικἁ-φίλοι-των-πρυτάνεων ξαναεπιτέθηκαν σε φοιτητά και σε αγωνιζόμενο κόσμο μέσα σε πανεπιστήμιο.

UK we have had speed cameras for ages. There was a trend for people to either spray paint the lens or even firebomb the camera. So they had to put in a second (video) camera mounted as high as possible to protect the first camera, quite amusing that a safety camera has to be kept safe by another safety cameras, its cameras all the way down.

Personally I think speed cameras that monitor a fixed point are pretty dumb unless that fixed point is an accident black spot such as outside a school or a red light camera for dangerous set of traffic lights. Its far better to have average speed cameras for a large section of road but those are more costly as you need way more cameras to make them work outside of motorways as you need to cover all the junctions properly.

Latest cameras we have in testing can see if you do not have your seat belt done up or are using your phone. Just stopping people from using their phone has to be the biggest step forward we can make with modern road safety.

One of the first speed cameras I remember in Belgium was just behind the crest of a highway. Drivers would give more power to drive up the hill at the speed limit, they'd cross the crest and that same power would make them overshoot the speed limit. So they put a camera right there to maximize the fines. Without the camera there was nothing special about that spot, but with the camera there were a lot of front end collisions. Fine revenue was apparently more important than safety.

Placement of new speed cameras has gotten more sensible with time fortunately, but those old speed traps are still left in place unfortunately. For highways we now have a lot of average speed tracking and that has really improved the flow of traffic. And for villages/towns, there is often a clearly visible lone camera box at the beginning of the low speed zone, those work so well that there is often no camera in them, just the box is enough.

setVeryLoud(true);

Speeding is an inherently human problem, you cannot solve the human, you can only trick the human into solving the problem for you, i.e. scaring them and making speeding actively risky for their own car.

Ultimately, on top of traffic calming, we need way better public transit and making driver's licences harder to acquire with longer, more rigorous training. That way, driving is not an obligation and those who don't want to drive or should not be driving do not have to drive. Not everyone was meant to drive.

Depends on how often the camera needs to be repaired/replaced and where the money goes for the tickets it writes.

Cops need to start ticketing:
- people changing lanes without indication
- people turning without indication
- people driving in the inside lane when they're not passing
- people who take more than 2 seconds to react to a light change
- People following bumper-to-bumper forming left-turn trains through yellow/red lights
- People who take more than a few seconds to get back up to speed

And also:
- Pedestrians who stand on the edge of the curb at the corner waiting for the light to change so they can cross
- Pedestrians standing literally on the edge of the road at the corner waiting for the light to change so they can cross
