When I schedule periodic tasks I always use prime numbers for the loop time. That way it's less likely that tasks will be run at the same time. It's not really that important, but I do it as a form of tribute to the cicadas.

It's extremely common to get things twisted up. Even if there is a good tech lead, that person may not be good at writing documentation, may be too busy writing code, and may not yet have a plan for how to keep things organized. Mainta

Certainly explosions and fighter jets result in a lot of GHG emissions. You seem to be suggesting that it might be significant enough to explain recent accelerated warming. That's how your comment reads. My comment was mean to point o
