I don't know what to tell you... the trend line from the first data point in Wolfram shows an upward slope. And anyway, that's beside the point because it's full-year data, not summer temps.

That source shows temperature trending up. What’s more, the article discusses the precipitation and temperatures in the summer months. It helps little if the winters have gotten colder and wetter. Frozen undergrowth doesn’t decompose much,

No, it’s not so simple. Alcohol changes the brain in ways that affect dopamine and endorphins. You literally feel pleasure and happiness… unless and until you’ve had too much of course

Anecdotes is not data, though. For me Plex “just works” but I’m careful not to dismiss the many comments I’m reading here about people that do have problems.

Sounds like your Synology just isn’t up to it in terms of transcoding. Direct playback to an Apple TV Plex app is virtually flawless in my experience (exceptions were HDR content but that seems to be fine now)

It won’t move the needle, no. But neither does your vote. On the other hand, “get out the vote” campaigns are still a thing. It’s not a perfect analogy, but if business owners band together and all push people back to the office, it’s not u

Given the lack of any documented adverse health effects from soy-derived foods in the many cultures where it’s extremely widely used in cooking, my layman’s guess is that it’s to do with the extraction and processing of the soy bean oil. Th

I think that only applies to variations of “non stick” or grease repellant paper bags, which is often used by fast food joints to avoid the food sticking to the paper.

"The Navy began listening for the Titan almost as soon as the sub lost communications, according to a U.S. defense official. Shortly after the submersible’s disappearance Sunday, the U.S. system detected what it suspected was the sound

Turns out the Navy heard it, based on a WSJ article. They started actively listening when notified that contact was lost, and shortly after they picked up what sounded like an implosion or explosion.

I have been actively looking for alternatives since the Reddit API fiasco started but I just don't have time to sit down and grok Lemmy or any of the other federated instances. And I'd argue I'm more tech curious than most. I

Quite a self-selecting sample, though. Presumably most of the ones that did feel strongly that they wanted to return would have done so

There are excellent plugins to manage audiobooks and several spectacularly good apps for playback though. Don’t know about ebooks

Ideally yes. But I got the impression the Apollo guy asked for an absolute minimum of three months’ notice

I don’t know munch about business but it sounds from all parties concerned like they could easily (i) introduce API pricing at 20% of what they want to charge now, (ii) give a three-month runway so app developers could turn up prices and ge

Gas is relatively clean-burning, but in cooking the vast majority of the energy is released out into the air rather than going to heating the vessel. So I don't have figures on this, but I think even coal power from the grid sent throu

I have seen little testing of this, but I think the specialized wok induction stoves (looks like a big bowl, into which you lower your wok) can easily produce heat comparable to all but the "jet-turbine" gas burners nobody in the

Giving children asthma is the reverse of the mechanism you’re highlighting, though

Or gas stove fans can blast away from bottle gas hobs in their own home while the rest of society reduces the number of people who develop asthma. Everyone is paying more in health insurance and taxes to tackle negative externalities from t

That’s an often overlooked factor. The mods that do all that free work for Reddit especially need good tools—which the official app is not.
