    Picking the right server isn't as important as it seems, because you will need accounts on multiple servers to see and communicate with all the people you want to connect with. Sometimes, it is because of simple #federation failures, but other times, it is because one or more servers participate in #blockwars / #fediblock.

    • SoCal: Southern California
    I think all the North American deserts are rain-shadow deserts. By this I mean that in the direction of the prevailing winds, there are mountain ranges that parallel the coastline. Most of the moisture is squeezed out of the air by going over the mountains โ›ฐ๏ธ leaving large areas where the annual evaporation exceeds the annual rainfall.

    This is exacerbated by the fact that the oceanic currents West of us are relatively cold. They donโ€™t add as much moisture to the atmosphere as warm currents do.

    There are several different deserts ๐Ÿœ๏ธ, which can be divided along elevation, geology, precipitation, other climate measures, and by the biological organisms that live there. So for instance, the #High_Desert and #Intermediate_Desert ares of !SoCal have specific plants ๐ŸŒฑ and animals that live there. The #Low_Desert consist of multiple sub deserts with different climates and life forms. These deserts are generally located at lower elevations as well as being to the south of the other deserts. Most of the Low Deserts are subsets of the Sonoran Desert.

    Tomorrow evening (2023-07-02) through Tuesday evening (2023-07-04), the full moon is supposed to be a "super moon". It should appear bigger and brighter than most full moons, because it is closer than usual.

    • SoCal: Southern California
    The !SoCal #High_Desert (elevation 3000 feet and higher) and #Intermediate_Desert (below 3000 feet, but still higher and more northerly than the low deserts), which are portions of the #Mojave_Desert, are expecting peak temperatures of 100โฐF / 38โฐC and up, while the #Low_Desert (including the Colorado Desert, Sonoran Desert, and a couple of other smaller deserts) are expecting 110โฐF / 43โฐC and up.

    Excessive heat warnings issued across much of desert areas of #CA, #NV, #AZ. Stay out of the heat as much as possible.

    #TIL: https://www.britannica.com/topic/sansculotte

    Decades later, I'm still finding things like this that I feel like I should have picked up during my years in California public schools.

    Though I should point out that I did get a better perspective on World War II than many of my contemporaries, because I had a history teacher who was a child in the Baltics during the war and was willing to share what he knew ... including hearing the German dictator's speeches on the radio ... he never said whether he understood the language, but he did say the speeches were spellbinding.

    Also, in 7th grade, I had a history teacher who'd spent a lot of time researching some of the Revolutionary War battles in and around Boston. She gave us a lot more details and passion than the usual blah blah.

    So I got a lot of some things. I just feel like the French revolution was a major enough event that we should have learned more about it. Instead, we mostly skipped it (maybe a brief mention of Marie Antoinette and "let them eat cake" ... and of the reign of terror, but that's all) and the Napoleonic wars (though we did cover the Louisiana purchase and the fact that it helped fund the wars in Europe).

      Sansculotte | Definition, History, & Facts
      from Encyclopedia Britannica
      sansculotte, French sans-culotte ("without knee breeches"), in the French Revolution, a label for the more militant supporters of that movement, especially in the years 1792 to 1795. Sansculottes presented themselves as members of the poorer classes or leaders of the common people, but during the Reign of Terror public functionaries and educated men also adopted the label to demonstrate their patriotism. The distinctive costume of the typical sansculotte was the pantalon (long trousers) in place of the culotte (silk breeches) worn by the upper classes, as well as the carmagnole (short jacket) and the red cap of liberty.

    I bought us all Sony #PlayStation #PS4 and #Nintendo #Switch consoles years back. (Myself, #sonOne, #sonTwo, #Daddy_A). Additionally, I bought #A1, #GD1, #GD2 each their own Nintendo #2DS handhelds (and 2nd son sonTwo and I each got a #3DS handheld).

    Part of the plan was that we'd all play together and thereby increase our time spent together and our communication, but that never happened, so I stopped buying consoles.

    > Coming from the European legal tradition my view is that obviously the intent of any law stands above almost any nitpicking about the precise legal text, ...

    We had some of that at one point. For example, I read that the Preamble to the US Constitution was once considered enforceable law, but now it is just a statement of intent.

    > ... in a US legal tradition, isn't going beyond the text almost non-American?

    I have always felt that Textualism was originally a technique to justify constitutional interpretations which were definitely not in the founders' minds.

    Not that I'd want to return to some of their intentions. The Virginia slaveholders wrote flowery language about freedoms, but did not apply those freedoms to the people they had the most control over. That says more about their intentions than anything they wrote.

    In the recent SCOTUS decision about student loans, Congress passed the HEROES act, which definitely did give some power to relieve student debt, but apparently not enough. I have read neither the decision & opinions nor the HEROES act. It might be interesting to go through them and see whether the decision was based on the act's text or its intent.

    • SoCal: Southern California
    I'm told that Palm Springs in !SoCal's #Low_Desert reached 111F today. Multiple places in the #High_Desert should also be above 100F tomorrow and Sunday (Sat 2023-07-01 and Sun 2023-07-02), but with low humidity.

    This isn't like #TX, where parts of the state were under "wet bulb" warnings (so hot and so humid that people are likely to die because their bodies cannot cool off) recently.

      > one of the driving forces in the west of poverty is social stigma against multi-generational housing.

      That's probably true, but most families don't have any kind of shared governance that makes that acceptable. Having "Big Momma" as the matriarch or "Poppa" as the patriarch worked in the 1800s when people didn't have any choice, but these days, we don't want someone ordering us around without our input.

      Also, it isn't just a social stigma. It is endorsed by government agencies such as social services (one nephew lost custody of his child because he moved in with his mom, uncle, and grandmother despite the mother initially abandoning the child when she left) and schools (one nephew and his gf still live at home with their 3 kids; according to the school system, they are considered homeless ... the district gets special funding for the kid that is in school ... and all my sisters are current or former school employees)

      > I have had numerous finical advisors tell me I should be spending ~50% of my income on housing costs.

      It used to be that spending over 30% of household income was considered financially stressed. I don't know whether they still use that figure, but I think most renters are way over 30%.
