Make it two separate tasks. Once it’s categorized everything and there are too many categories, set it a separate task to consolidate categories.

Hm… humans (all mammals, really) react with great distress to high CO2 concentrations in the air. Now, the concentrations at which that reaction can be measured are MUCH higher than the current ones. But it does make me wonder whether we

Long story short, economic liberalism is a school of economic theory that’s distinct from and predates the left-leaning political faction that in the US we call “liberal” to distinguish it from the right-leaning “conservative” faction. (Als

They’re suggesting more induced deliveries and caesarians happen in December due to tax advantages. I would have thought it would be because people are concerned about getting proper care if they go to the hospital to deliver over the holid

Why not have domains at two registrars and use the email from one to log into the registrar for another?

Probably blocking their tracking cookies, without which they’ll deny you access to a lot of sites. I finally gave up on blocking those just this week because I couldn’t get to sites I neeeded.

Can you please share a little more about what Just In Case inventory looks like?

At what point does the risk added by using just-in-time inventory methods override the savings?

A third option would be to use it as animal feed. Then the carbon ends up in sewage (from humans eating the animals) and fertilizer (animal waste), but we were going to end up with those anyway. Tho depending on the specific animals, there

BTT is a fantastic app. I’ve been using it to tune up the ergonomics of macOS for over a decade now. Thank you for all your work on it!

Two different issues. None of those will be great for privacy, but they’d likely be better for national security than funneling all that data straight to the CCP. Congress sadly DNGAF about our privacy rights, but they are rightfully concer

Twins can be born with the same genes (because they originated as a single embryo that split), or with different genes (they originated as two separately fertilized embryos). The former are considered identical twins even if you can tell th

The comparison wasn’t farmed vs wild salmon. It was a comparison between the nutrients in the farmed salmon and those in the fish used to feed those salmon. Basically, there’s inefficiency in nutrient retention. Also not shocking, but not

The shaking part requires a lot of upper body strength that not everyone has. I can get a nice whip-snap out of a down comforter on a double bed but not a king. I ended up with a new synthetic comforter on the double and can barely make the

I don’t read that quote as saying models suggest sea levels won’t start rising until the end of the century. What it seems to be saying is that the impact of different levels of emissions in the near future doesn’t show up as differing amo

I’m super curious what evolutionary pressures could exist that would drive that much change in such a short time, especially in a period when an overwhelming percentage of individuals survive to reproductive age. I wonder how much of this d
