This underground coal seam fire had been smoldering since possibly as early as the late 1800s, but was finally fully extinguished thanks to recent excavation and restoration of the site. The surrounding area can also now return to vegetated wildlife habitat, as before the fire was extinguished the vegetation had to be severely cut back to reduce wildfire risk.

Coal seam fires contribute to climate change by releasing methane and carbon dioxide, and they can potentially spark forest fires which are a particularly high risk in dry, fire-prone climates like much of Colorado.

From the article:

“We all remember so well the devastation of the Marshall Fire not too long ago, right here in our community,” said U.S. Representative Joe Neguse during a press conference. “And to know that this particular threat will now be resolved long into the future is an important preventative step that I think the state of Colorado and our local government partners should be deeply proud of.”

Hello, I would like to ask you a question that has been interesting to me for a long time, but I am afraid that it may somehow offend you, so I apologize. I understand if you do not want to discuss such things.

May you please tell me a little about the side effects of the transition?

So, the downsides of medical transition? Sure, I can name a few things. But a lot of "side effects" people warn you about are really just "be sure you're prepared to be more physiologically like a cis man -- you can't pick and choose what effects you get, but you can predict some of them based on genetics."

(Transphobes like to make this sound scary, like you're damaging your body. But it's like... OK, a receding hairline? Yeah, no shit that's gonna happen. Happens to most dudes. Jokes on you, a lot of people are into that. And I can take some finesteride to slow it down, so stop using visual shorthand for masculinity to scare me away from masculinity.)

That said, be sure you're prepared for changes to:

How you gain muscle & fat

Your libido

Your hair growth patterns

How you express (and possibly even feel) emotions

Your voice

Your genitals

Your risk factors for certain health conditions. Some will improve, some will get worse. Me, I have to keep an eye on my congenital heart issue.

That said, the only real "side effects" that I feel are unique to being trans and/or me are:

Vaginal dryness. There's creams for that, so, completely manageable.

You of course need to be aware of your liver health, since you're on a major medication. But it's your doc's job to check your levels and adjust accordingly. I have had no issues.

My ADHD and memory maybe got a bit worse? But they are both stable now.

If I miss a shot, I get irritable (T makes me a much calmer person)

That's really it for me.

I've had top surgery and the only side effect there was that I rejected some sutures (first time that has happened) and thus got a gnarly scar, but that can happen with any surgery.

Other folks are welcome to chime in. Again, I think it's important to distinguish between "side effect" and "this is a new-to-you thing to deal with that is common for cis men."

nothing has hammered home that teaching is a skill (often deliberately cultivated, non-intuitive, something you have to exercise like a muscle) quite like my father trying to educate his children about investing. He knows so much about the stock market, can analyze an ETF or mutual fund at a glance, has a suggested portfolio breakdown etched on his bones........yet bristles any time we ask him for more guidance than "broad commentary regurgitating general principles." It's unfortunate.

I love the idea of Bond having a sunroom or conservatory... maybe he & Q move to a place that had one or they can build one, if Q's place doesn't have one or doesn't have space for one.... I just think Bond would rly like a sunroom. and probably so would the cats. It would be rly cozy & there would be all sorts of cat-safe potted & hanging plants... even on rainy days it would be very cozy and nice <3

My biggest pet peeve is being perceived as naive because I believe something good. I’m not otherwise a static and constant ball of anxiety and distrust for this.

What is bus factor? Re your recent reblog

Great question! The bus factor refers to the least number of people who can disappear from a team ("hit by a bus") that will cause the team to stop functioning. A bus factor of 1, as in ms-demeanor's case, means that one person is load-bearing and their absence will cause operations to grind to a halt. It's terribly common and a red flag for any enterprise that isn't essentially a startup or sole proprietorship. Good operational practices will ensure that their bus factor is appropriate to the size of the program and the risks they face, and factor in sick time, vacation, work travel, and anything else that might impact personnel availability. On the engineering side of the house, this will also involve design standards, documentation, and ensuring that you've got enough people with overlapping expertise to fill in or learn what was lost.

Convinced we haven’t seen shots of Carmy with Natalie, Richie or Sydney in any of the S4 promos because Carmy’s repair and reunion with these characters is going to be integral to the plot of next season. It’s almost definitely why they’ve not appeared together very much in the lead up to June 2025.

this is an incredibly refreshing scene for one of these shows and im so relieved that there's no ambiguity around whether shoma's dad's abuse was justified or not because it was done out of "love". but now i worry im going to have this sinking feeling of dread throughout the rest of the year out of fear that the show will try to downplay or rehabilitate his actions later on

i think komura is making shoma and the show's stance as of now pretty clear here, but as history has shown it only takes one producer's note or premium bandai request for something like this to be completely upended

I think I've finally found the words for this thought.

Growing up, I heard the term "expect" used a lot as a demand, an imperative. "I expect you to clean your room", "I expect your homework to be done by the end of the week". This never sat right with me but I wasn't sure why.

As I have grown into risk management, I have come to use "expect" in a different sense, a descriptive sense, with implications of prediction rather than command. I can ask my kid to clean their room, but that doesn't mean I expect it to actually happen. I don't want to get sick, and I can take steps to prevent it, but I fully expect it to happen anyways. This shift in usage, to what I think is a more accurate meaning of the term "expect", has changed the way I speak and think about risks and timelines. I think I sound more gruff and cynical this way, because I think maybe other people hear it as more of a command, but it also simply sounds more assertive, which is important when I'm the only one doing any meaningful planning. I think this has brought a new degree of clarity to my conversations.

obviously i dont need to have had family who lived in ir*n to give a shit about the people who live there, but god the lead weight in my gut knowing my aunt and grandma finally arrived the week before tr*mp's inauguration this year. they were supposed to come before that, but his og ban stopped that, too. my dad lost nearly another 10 years with his family because of this, and he can barely see them now because they live up with our relatives up north. fuck this administration. fuck these warmongers. i can't fathom a hell that would be blistering or freezing enough for any of them when they go.

i pray ir*nians stay safe.

How popular is Sinners in theaters rn after a few weeks? I wanna watch it but I'm still covid safe and don't want to be in a crowded theater. I'd assume matinees are still less crowded in general, but everyone in my sphere is gushing about how great it is so maybe even matinees are packed

Also how long is it so I know how far I can go without snacks if the theater is still crowded?

"take half a pill before bed for one week then increase to one whole pill" there on the label and i already know what i am in for, that transitory period of starting new medication.

this is all incredibly recent, february. i have been suffering through it all, 27 years, until i found myself crying at work because of "ocd tendencies" they say, i say, because put that way, it's not definitive, but a maybe.

and since february, i have lost myself in the haze six times. six. already. (and one abrupt withdrawl period as an experiment from one doctor which was ill-advised by every subsequent professional i have seen after). and tonight we risk another. for these unanswered for tremors.

they say before bed as it will "make me drowsy" and at first that was exciting, it is what i wanted, but as it gets later, as the light outside grows dimmer, i am scared of becoming tired.

"i have a phobia of sleep" she told me and i told her "i have been scared of my dreams since i was five." this past week i have been dying every night that my body, my brain, something, has been refusing to let me drift back, there is no peace. i didn't fall asleep until 930 this morning, phone in hand, an hour and a half of mismatched baggage under my eyes before another appointment in the city.

i have spent the last several months dreaming on schedule, waking every two hours, all night, dying, panicking, resetting my mind to hit replay. but i don't think i am ready for this, what if i get stuck, trapped, will i spend six hours experiencing the nothingness of death? is it worth it? there was a time in my life i could rest. wasn't there?
