@Lady ah.
@Lady hmm, yeah, that would also be my intuition. i am unfamiliar with the context this is coming up in.
@Lady idk about temperature but https://www.fda.gov/radiation-emitting-products/tanning/ultraviolet-uv-radiation#6 says that there's more in the summer: «The sun’s angle in relation to the Earth varies according to season. During the summer months the sun is in a more direct angle, resulting in a greater amount of UV radiation.»
(with https://www.epa.gov/sunsafety/sun-safety-monthly-average-uv-index seeming to confirm that point)
@Lady oh hey zonelets
@pan good morning pan
@Lady poor electric mouse
@aescling seems like a pretty presumptuous claim
@pan hehe yeah. at current rates it will be six working days before they get to me
@Lady truuuu
i am quoting a section from a textbook, so this will be fairly long. this does get to Grenada at the end
@aescling … okay now i have to ask if that’s all they say about Iran-Contra???? or is that just like the next section
i feel like this book's author doesn't really care for postmodernism. big emphasis on "but if the real isn't a thing anymore then how can we say whether anything is good or bad?". including specifically giving Baudrillard on the Gulf War as an example of that, which my impression was that Baudrillard was in those essays very much criticizing (in the "disapproving of" sense) the Gulf War? i haven't actually read them, but that was the impression i had gotten from like wikipedia and such... i think i will probably actually read them now
