Look at december, as an example. During the roughly 50 year period from 1875-1926, 25 times the average temperature was <= 5.0 degrees. The last time that happened was in 1956, which is some 65 years ago. I’d say that is more than ”no

I biked there (Furkapass) about 20 years ago, and the change is crazy. Just compare old photos[1] with a more recent one[2]. It’s quite easy to see how much bigger the glacier used to be. [1] https://www.google.se/search?q=o

So the Arkansas record was set in 1936. The way I see it, it doesn’t really matter if Arkansas ever beats that record, but rather what happens if it hits 48C five days per year. (I say that as my hometown recently beat it’s highest ever rec

I doubt any of the all-window-facade building will be able to stand the test of time. On the other hand, the parisians wanted the ”useless and monstrous” Eiffel tower torned down after the exhibition (as was the plan) so I think it is inher

A couple of hundred years ago, the unfiltered fumes from coal plants and factories were considered signs of human evolution. Maybe it’s the same with this type of pollution? A perhaps necessary step to something better. The evolution contin

If the bike has been cared for, I don’t think age should be a problem. At the Eroica mentioned elsewhere in this thread, people have taken part with bikes a hundred years old[1]. [1] https://eroica.cc/en/eroica-cc/

Personally, I have mapped ’send’ to cmd+enter, to avoid accidentally sending too soon. Also, to make it behave similarly within a code block as without.
