Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) enable geothermal energy usage in unconventional areas by enhancing the subsurface permeability and increasing fluid flow, which is then extracted as a carrier of the thermal energy.

Is this fracking?

technical issues and concerns over induced seismicity have historically hindered the broader expansion of EGS.

Yeah, fracking…

I don’t know of recent advancements or how it relates to this application, but my understanding is that fracking is a bad idea.

Also, I’m astonished that anything costs more than nuclear.

To add to this, here’s what I would do personally:

For disinfecting devices, it’s a process:

1. Isolate the device, remove network cards if possible.
2. Try to find out what kind of malware it is? Is it isolated to the OS? If it’s infecting device firmware I’d just replace the whole device, otherwise move to next step.
3. Copy essential data onto a removeable drive (USB)
4. Wipe the drive and re-install the OS fresh.
5. Full content malware scan of all files on the USB.
6. Copy files back onto fresh OS.

Some additional things to do:

1. Change relevant credentials.
2. Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) wherever offered.
3. If you’re in the US and believe that financial info was compromised (SSN, bank passwords, etc.), freeze your credit and file 1 year fraud alerts with all major consumer reporting companies (Equifax, Transunion, Experian, etc.). This is free and quick as required by law.

Yay! Been waiting patiently.

I just had to book a flight.

Frontier forces you to download an app now to check in (there is a well hidden option to do it on web, but the page never loads on laptop nor mobile in multiple browsers).

I tried to rent a parking spot, and 2/4 places would not load quotes at all (again web and mobile and multiple browsers). I probably would’ve used one of the two that didn’t load if their sites had worked. Their loss I guess.

I’d just like it to not feel like each interaction I have with technology, and I guess by extension the world, is becoming increasingly adversarial. The tech itself seems to keep getting better though.

I think the best course of action is to find an cut the antenna or it’s trace on the board (and verify). Sounds a lot easier than it is though.

edit: or also pull the modem fuse, if it has one

Also, horse is bigger/more visible to cars, and maybe could be in the street. So you may not have to wait on traffic crossings as much depending on the area.

I still choose e-bike because poo, but what a looney idea, I love it.

Amazing to see Hot Wheels change from gas to hybrid to EV over the years.

Nice, glad to help! And cool that you did Linguistics in school!

I’m not sure about the specifics, but the core I can agree with, that is: ‘people speaking the same language, but with vastly different backgrounds, will have difficulty communicating effectively.’

It is surprising that the presidential Democratic candidate finally lost a popular vote after 20+ years, but currently it appears that she just lost. Sure, do a recount of a sample of suspected precincts. I am going to continue to believe that this is a conspiracy theory until substantiated evidence of fraud is provided.

As an aside, those images are small and I could barely read them (zooming didn’t increase image size).

I’ll check out the documentary, and thanks for your reply.

I agree, my working conclusion for a while has been that I can’t compete with the phone and to focus on my wellbeing by reducing contact.

Have you learned anything useful on inoculation and deprogramming? I’ve been looking as well but haven’t found much.

Is it like you say, have a true set of idea anchors? But still what if it’s a false anchor?

Fun fact: decibels are exponential; A 180 db sound would be the loudest thing ever recorded (the krakatoa volcano was 172) and after 194 db it ceases to be sound and becomes a shockwave.

.world and .ml are servers. I’d recommend choosing a server related to your topic (programming.zone if it’s comp sci related, for example), and try to avoid piling into the largest ones (.world and .ml, etc.).

Do you mean abominations? lol.

A more powerful local transmission may be considered jamming. I’m not sure, so look up relevant law beforehand.

I don’t believe they’re thinking that abstractly. They know [Blue State] and go there. Maybe a few are smart enough to go to [Swing State] + [Blue Area], but I think it’s about affecting the count moreso. It just seems stochastic, so I think the simplest logic is going to be the most common.

(Area code) 867 5309

It already has an account, and nobody who gets that number keeps it for long, it may not even be assigned anymore because of how much spam it probably receives.

Pay cash when available, keep cards for when it’s not or it’d be a hassle (your discretion).

FYI for those reading this, it is just an image of the unopened mail. They don’t open it for you. You see who it’s from and when it is supposed to arrive.
