Ban phone calls? It’s long overdue.

I’ll go down this rabbit hole for you because I was also curious.

All lead mined on Earth naturally contains some amount of the radioactive element uranium 235, which decays, over time, into another radioactive element, a version of lead called lead 210. When lead ore is first processed, it is purified and most of the uranium is removed. Whatever lead 210 is already present begins to break down, with half of it decaying on average every 22 years. In Roman lead almost all of the lead 210 has already decayed, whereas in lead mined today, it is just beginning to decay. (Of course, many lead 210 atoms have already decayed in this ore, too, but the supply is constantly replenished by uranium in unprocessed lead). “The longer since it was originally processed, the lower its intrinsic radioactivity,” Gonzalez-Zalba says.

To be fair they tried posting it on the Linux community on .ml and there were so many upvotes and positive feedback that it crashed the server. So they had to post it again somewhere more balanced to limit the impact.

Dawg you can literally see the intestines in shrimp, chock full of shrimp poop. No way that is any cleaner than eating a fully cooked cricket.

In a perfect world you could get paid to automate stuff with AHK. I wonder if you could market yourself as an AHK consultant where you basically shadow someone’s job for a week and then start figuring out how to automate the tedious stuff.

Personally I like the functionality of AHK but I can’t stand the syntax compared to Python and C. I start with such great plans of what I want to automate but get sick of fighting with the language after about an hour and settle for something simple.

And you can continue typing it that way for as long as you want if you set up autohotkey to automatically fix your typos.

The obvious solution is to use Rust’s upcoming “spaghetti checker” feature. Once the compiler decides that your code is too messy to be maintainable, it refuses to compile.

Surely climate change will make the planet uninhabitable before the ww3 ramps up

I remember Zune did not play well with Linux at all. One time I plugged my Zune into a Linux laptop just hoping to charge it. From that point on, until I plugged it back into a Windows PC, the Zune would play one song then skip the next two. As in track 1, 4, 7, then roll over to 2, 5, 8, etc.

That was the only problem I had with my Zune though, RIP Zune, you were the best.

Oh wait except for the leap year glitch. Microsoft apparently didn’t think people would still use Zune in 2008 so all the Zunes stopped working for the duration of the leap day lol.

Taking on one extra dog for a few days seems like the easiest, most chill way to make a little money on the side if you are careful about which dogs you take. Those people who sit 4+ dogs at a time are insane but must pull in a good bit of money.

If someone else has to debug the problems caused by a parent naming their child with a special character, does that make the parent the bugger? 🤔

From the quick googling I did at work, it seems that there are different types of starches that digest at different rates. Whole grain cereals are in the slower-to-digest category *and might not get digested fully.

I personally suspect that the process of making oat milk - blending and straining the oats - makes them easier to digest and probably has an impact on GI. So it’s probably a wash.

Wouldn’t the starch break down into an equivalent amount of sugar during digestion?

Did you get a huge flood of emails at the start? That happened to me one time and it was because one of my old passwords got leaked. Buried within the flood of emails was a legit “your password has been changed” email for an account.

Yep, the second paragraph of the article says that the new app will eventually replace both GeForce experience (yay) and the Nvidia control panel (boo).

11,000 miles (18,000 kilometers)

To put that into perspective, the circumference of the earth is ~24,000 miles. From my rough Google Earth calculations, the stated range covers the entire planet except for a tiny sliver of Antarctica and a bit of the ocean nearby.

Why would Russia need a missile with that range? Unless they just really want to take out New Zealand first, it kinda seems like they just picked the largest sensible range value (12,000 miles, halfway around the planet) and then fudged it down a bit because why would you need to fire a missile more than halfway around the planet? Just fire it in the opposite direction.

We’ve reached the point where they can’t make phones any bigger unless you can fold them up.

Agreed though it seems nuts to pay more for a “feature” on your phone that will only cause it to wear out faster.

I assume your project wasn’t based on ChatGPT? It feels like a lot of the AI hate is directed at ChatGPT and its current hype wave.

Is PopOs or mint getting support for HDR? I’m dual booting PopOs but the lack of HDR support is of the things holding me back.

Last time I checked (and it’s been a few months), GOG hadn’t updated their version of FO4 with the “next-gen” update that came out early this year. That may be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your perspective because supposedly the update breaks a lot of mods but also is supposed to increase performance.
