"Get your hands off of him. You don't even have a warrant," says one staff member, shielding the man from an immigration agent. "Let him go. You need to get out."</em><br/><br/><em>The department [DHS] said the surgery center staff "assaulted law enforcement" and attempted to obstruct the arrest.</em>]]></description> <link>https://www.metafilter.com/209533/Surgical-center-staff-demand-to-see-ICE-warrant</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">tag:metafilter.com,2025:site.209533</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 11 Jul 2025 16:53:51 GMT</pubDate> <dc:creator>splitpeasoup</dc:creator> <category>ice</category> <category>immigration</category> <category>politics</category> <category>trump</category> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.metafilter.com/209533/Surgical-center-staff-demand-to-see-ICE-warrant/rss</wfw:commentRss> </item> <item> <title>:emoji: The ore turns to iron when there's fire in the trial :emoji:</title> <description><![CDATA[<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxRldWoKlnQ">BABYMETAL - Kon!

"I think the nerve I hit is fairly obvious," Savage said in an interview, adding, "being able to put numbers behind it was cathartic to some people and triggering to others." Humming underneath the disputation is a less tangible but more significant question. Let us say the perspective of the straight white man is being dampened in the world of literary fiction.

Parmelee and others in the community are wary of the data centres' appetite for electricity — particularly because Virginia is already known as the data-centre capital of the world. A state-commissioned review, published in December 2024, noted that although data centres bring economic benefits, their growth could double electricity demand in Virginia within ten years."<br/><br/><blockquote>The <a href="https://www.iea.org/news/ai-is-set-to-drive-surging-electricity-demand-from-data-centres-while-offering-the-potential-to-transform-how-the-energy-sector-works">IEA's special report Energy and AI</a>, out today, offers the most comprehensive, data-driven global analysis to date on the growing connections between energy and AI. The report draws on new datasets and extensive consultation with policy makers, the tech sector, the energy industry and international experts. It projects that electricity demand from data centres worldwide is set to more than double by 2030 to around 945 terawatt-hours (TWh), slightly more than the entire electricity consumption of Japan today. AI will be the most significant driver of this increase, with electricity demand from AI-optimised data centres projected to more than quadruple by 2030.</blockquote>]]></description> <link>https://www.metafilter.com/209526/AI-wants-more-power</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">tag:metafilter.com,2025:site.209526</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 10 Jul 2025 23:59:52 GMT</pubDate> <dc:creator>Lemkin</dc:creator> <category>ai</category> <category>computer</category> <category>electricity</category> <category>environment</category> <category>technology</category> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.metafilter.com/209526/AI-wants-more-power/rss</wfw:commentRss> </item> <item> <title>Stay in school, cause it's the best</title> <description><![CDATA[EmanRTM asks the British public some general knowledge questions: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DRme10QALw">What is the past tense for 'choose'?</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40auD5mJphw">What is the length of a 40 ft container?</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwGqUYY_AAA">What is your older brothers father to you?</a>]]></description> <link>https://www.metafilter.com/209525/Stay-in-school-cause-its-the-best</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">tag:metafilter.com,2025:site.209525</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 10 Jul 2025 23:07:38 GMT</pubDate> <dc:creator>Lanark</dc:creator> <category>basics</category> <category>countries</category> <category>english</category> <category>knowledge</category> <category>maths</category> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.metafilter.com/209525/Stay-in-school-cause-its-the-best/rss</wfw:commentRss> </item> <item> <title>"Christmas has always smelled like oranges to me."</title> <description><![CDATA[50 years and 29 days ago, The Movie '<a href="https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/features/robert-altman-nashville-1975-sprawling-american-masterpiece">Nashville</a>' had its 50th. <a href="https://www.moviejawn.com/home/2025/6/11/nashville-50th-joan-tewkesbury-interview?srsltid=AfmBOooaZLDr5RV9gJwd-xPgBNqa7fzE6B0RPgv0uR3IIcUofBKr0UeJ">anniversary.</a>.<br>"when you pay more for an automobile then it cost Columbus to make his first voyage to america, that's politics."<br> Henry Gibson as <a href="https://youtu.be/TP94wyr5KB4?si=7euecc6jYcvdCzv7">Haven Hamilton</a>.

I'll pull together some examples of silenced firearms and show what silencers/suppressors can and can't do, and compare the noises you'd get to some other types of sound. Then I'll go into the components which make up firearm noise: mechanical, sonic boom, and muzzle blast. Then I'll discuss the advantages that silencers bring, even though they're not as impressive as they seem in the movies. Finally, I'll sum up by discussing the limitations of silencers and why they are not universal. from <a href="https://militaryrealism.blog/2025/06/12/silencers-not-very-silent/">Silencers: not very silent</a> [Military Realism]]]></description> <link>https://www.metafilter.com/209521/Theres-no-easy-way-to-make-this-quiet</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">tag:metafilter.com,2025:site.209521</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 10 Jul 2025 18:55:12 GMT</pubDate> <dc:creator>chavenet</dc:creator> <category>DrNo</category> <category>GunCulture</category> <category>Guns</category> <category>Hollywood</category> <category>JamesBond</category> <category>JohnWick</category> <category>Myths</category> <category>Rifles</category> <category>SecretService</category> <category>Silencers</category> <category>Spies</category> <category>Suppressors</category> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.metafilter.com/209521/Theres-no-easy-way-to-make-this-quiet/rss</wfw:commentRss> </item> <item> <title>Incredibly rare humbug pygmy shrew photographed in Cornwall</title> <description><![CDATA[Once-in-a-lifetime finding of incredibly rare humbug pygmy shrew photographed in Cornwall. <a href="https://insideecology.com/2025/07/03/once-in-a-lifetime-finding-of-incredibly-rare-humbug-pygmy-shrew-photographed-in-cornwall/">An extremely rare pygmy shrew with an albino mutation was found by Anita McMillan near St Austell, Cornwall, while out for a walk</a>.]]></description> <link>https://www.metafilter.com/209520/Incredibly-rare-humbug-pygmy-shrew-photographed-in-Cornwall</link> <guid isPermaLink="false">tag:metafilter.com,2025:site.209520</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 10 Jul 2025 18:36:39 GMT</pubDate> <dc:creator>chariot pulled by cassowaries</dc:creator> <category>PygmyShrews</category> <category>Shrews</category> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.metafilter.com/209520/Incredibly-rare-humbug-pygmy-shrew-photographed-in-Cornwall/rss</wfw:commentRss> </item> </channel></rss> If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
