  • Nayara Energy Limited is an entity established in India and operating an important refinery in Vadinar. That refinery is 49% owned by the Russian State oil company Rosneft, and is a major refiner of Russian crude oil. The energy sector, in particular the oil sector, is a sector providing substantial revenue to the Russian Government.

    Therefore, Nayara Energy is involved in an economic sector providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.

    Microsoft doing the right thing here. If you don’t want to worry about consequences of sanctions don’t use services from companies subject to jurisdiction of countries that sanction you.










  • I found capsules to be an absolute pain to load on the account of shaky hands. If you’re using capsules on a stem loaded vaporiser you have to try it with MAD Heaters Reload or one if it’s many recent clones (like 420vape Stash Tube in Europe or Sneaky Pete Travel Storage Debowler in US). This way you can load the stem directly by pushing and twisting into weed stored in one of two containers (middle/bottom). Once you’re done vaping you drop AVB into top container that has a debowler inside. It’s a game changer even if you don’t use it with butane vape.

    I keep up to date but avoid images because at this point it’s just outrage porn driven by social media algorithms. I’m increasingly convinced homo sapiens are going to cause another mega extinction event within our lifetime. There’s so much suffering and atrocities all over the world currently that it’s hard not to detach from just one more horrific event because it’s not going to matter in the end.



  • The issue with current autistic leads in series like Good Doctor or Extraordinary Attorney Woo is that they are almost level 3 (aka profound autism) while also being savants which doesn’t really represent much of autistic people (and savants are even less). I don’t want to marginalise those people but they’re quite overrepresented in media about autism while also being less than 10% of all autistic people and that leads to regular people being really confused as to what autism is.

    I think this is what’s behind something that’s almost a meme by now among autistic people - when you tell someone you’re autistic without flapping your hands and without difficulty in stringing a coherent sentence you’re going to be replied with „but you don’t look autistic”. This also leads to many people going undiagnosed and without support, sometimes for their entire lives.
