Warning, annecdata: we turned down our heating signifcantly this winter, and both my roommate and me have gotten quite a bit of mold on and around our windows. The thermostat is now back up to 19.5°C.

I always imagined these antarctic stations as a kind of spaceship, with a lot of technology and effort poured into them but maybe a few dozen scientists at most operating everything. Instead this is a whole town! Wikipedia says the populati

When you say "mostly optional" I assume you mean working out will drastically reduce the rate of muscle loss. Is that what you mean or are there other intervention?

That is incredible. In the literal sense of the word, I thought you were joking until I was halfway through your post. Do you have any more links? I'd love to learn more.

I have backups enabled actually. Sure, it's a pain to manage compared to WhatsApp, as you have to manually download it off your phone, but Signal has an option for automatic daily backups. They are encrypted with a key you have to note

My first ever computer was a laptop with a first gen Atom and 1GB of RAM. Single-core, no hyperthreading. I was super excited and loved it, but it was so slow that it felt unusable even to me as a young teenager that didn't know any be

I've just taken a look and if stories aren't your thing, there's a toggle to just turn the whole feature off and it disappears from the UI. I love this! I wish WhatsApp had such a toggle, since nobody in my contacts uses the

As a non American, what problem does the US have with SMS? I can confirm essentially no one in western Europe uses iMessage. I've seen people use FaceTime to call friends, but I've yet to even see someone open the iMessage app in

That's why I was really surprised about the content of the article (to be honest I haven't made it past the TL;DR yet), I would have guessed that the problem would be too little egalitarianism. Kids here are sorted into career pat

As someone who codes a fair bit at work without having a CS degree, is there any such course online you could recommend? Like a coursera course titled "How not to be dumb at coding"out something of the sorts.

I'd just like to point out that Italy has been a net contributor to the EU budget for 20 years straight, and was the third biggest net contributor as of 2020. If someone has more up-to-date numbers I'd like to read them, but I don

Your use of the word gross income is interesting, what wasthe difference to the net income in that time period? Were salaries taxed? I assumed you'd get a net income only becauae if everyone's already working for the state, what w

I understand that train of thought, but does this really apply to Anna Karenina? It's a pre-soviet work from well over a century ago, from a time when the Russian state and society were very different from what exists today.

If the goal was to attract EU techies this is almost entirely useless. There's only 3 EU universities on the list in the first place, and the only German one (LMU) is known for humanities, while the other Munich University (TUM), which

On firefox you can use uBlock Origin, if you activate the EastListCookies filter list it blocks consent banners as well. Can't remember when I last had to click one of those away it's great.

You could use uBlock Origin and disable javascript by default, it's availavle on mobile. When necessary you can also reenable it for specific sites, works pretty well for me. Also neat: you can disable media elements over a certain siz

I have to say those prices still seem very high to me, that's 10.000$ a year. Maybe salaries are just outrageously higher in Australia than where I live, but I find it hard to believe most artists can comfortably pay back 1000$ a month
