Remember it spawning a bunch of copycats? For a while every community had their own code block. I wrote one for a usenet group i was in at the time.

alt.sysadmin and alt.sysadmin.recovery both had em iirc…

The point is that it’s a passive process, not an active one. No need for pumping.

Water is so much denser than air that you do get more exposure time per unit time.

The concentration isn’t as important as the difficulty to remove it. It’s still a hard problem, but rock weathering is one way to accomplish it, but it would need a lot of exposed rock surface.

Water absorbs a lot of co2 and removing it from the water via weathering is a valid idea.

Megagermans vs milligermans

I work for a Canadian university library and I assure you that data archival efforts are proceeding apace. I can’t really say more without possibly endangering American colleagues.

It wasn’t bad actually.

They really need to change how market cap is calculated. Even a linear function going to zero as the last share is sold would be better. I wonder.

It runs perfectly under Proton via the Steam runtime for me. Genuinely- maybe try Linux?

Yeah. This is a plot point used in a few stories, eg Carl Sagan’s “Contact”

The Long Dark. Something about wandering an icy wasteland scavenging, hunting, fishing, works for me.

They could add a bid price, so that you automatically buy at a certain price level. Sure, you could bid 0.10, but they’d probably never actually take it. And that way, they could know how much money is laying on the table. If there’s a thousand bids for $50, that gives them a pricing signal.

I would say no* but the asterisk has a few paragraphs involving funding sustainability, cryptobro involvement, and dubious decentralization.

My synology box is 8 years old now and still getting patches. I would actually buy it again. Good work.

There is often very limited table space and stacking the dishes can be more about making room than server convenience.

That said, obviously don’t be dumb about it. Stack dishes properly and maybe stick the utensils in a cup so they aren’t at risk of falling during transport.

Germany was the worldwide leader in science before the Nazis. We may see a shift to Europe or China if science is actively suppressed in the USA.

A while ago (late 90s?) they straightened the border and reevaluated land along the 49th parallel. Some towns switched countries.

Such a stupid border decision. They should have fixed it in the territory swaps a few years ago.

Dedicated lanes make a huge difference there!

Burnaby isn’t so bad as long as you’re on a transit corridor. Granted it sucks outside those corridors though.
