And if that ram breaks you'll not just have a giant container ship stuck there, but a bloody aircraft carrier as well. :D

Ironically, the blast radius of that thing is still smaller than the ship that would need to be blown up. If you really want to clear the canal with an explosion, it would have to be one large enough to vaporize the ship, making sure there&

The idea of a group of T-Rexes hunting and fighting over prey like a flock of chickens is outright scary. :D

Silicon has been suggested as an alternative to carbon as basis for biochemistry. Ammonia-based life has also been suggested (and is also a rather common sci-fi trope).

It took several billion years for the stars to form, blow up, and fuse the elements into heavier and heavier elements that then formed our galactic neighbourhood, our sun and ultimately Earth. Then it took more than 4.5 billion years for Ea

With luck, this will move emphasis to fast web sites, rather than web sites using a specific technology stack controlled by Alphabet. Using the AMP libraries has never been the issue. Google hijacking the URL's has.

Confirming this. Chickens are fierce predators when given the chance. One of the walls on our stables is usually covered with flies chilling in the warmth of the sun. The chickens (and the local magpie population) go there to prey on them w

The one I got seemed to be a combination of the two. It didn't sound all bad tbh.

I wouldn't be surprised if ICE's powered by biofuel/synthetic fuel could be competitive with electic veichles given enough time to improve the technology. Most likely we are going to see some of that development as EV's
343.
by fogihujy 6y ago
Yeah, that's another hurdle that needs to be tackled. Going electric is going to take decades, and we'll probably never be completely rid of combustion engines.

They still pollute, even if they're carbon neutral. Particle emissions won't go away.

Over-processed food is nothing new, and the issues with it won't go away just because you ditch the animal ingredients. I'll happily eat a vegan meal made from fresh and locally produced ingredients and prepared by a skilled chef.

To put things in perspective, I'm still trying to convince the in-laws to recycle basic things like paper and plastic instead of simply burning it in a barrel in the back-yard, and to recycle glass and metal instead of just throwing it

Synthetic fuel and biofuels will probably be required for several decades until legacy equipment like farming machinery (not to mention military veichles) has been replaced/modernized. Regular cars, on the other hand, will probably be

Why would this break anything? Which sites would break just because the referrer policy default setting changed? And why wouldn't sites have fixed that before, since Chrome pushed the same change last year?

The big markets won't care about Swiss chocolate. It's far more likely that Swiss chocolate producers will simply focus on the high-end market and leave it at that. Now, if other African countries tried doing this to the EU and re

I know this might just be me, but I miss the good old days where the browser would simply allow you to accept or reject cookies from a specific domain and then remember the choice. It made things like this much easier, although I suspect it

by fogihujy 6y ago
The first response will probably be for the chocolate producers to try to source the raw materials from other sources. This may or may not result in production ramping up elsewhere, or even new producers appearing as increased prices could

Not to mention that many prefer one specific blend. If you want me to buy another brand/blend then you first have to convince me that the new one is at least as delicious as the previous one.

On a side note, situations like this should be taken into account when designing access control schemes and it's an excellent argument for NOT using phones or other devices for authentication. I don't really have a better suggesti

The idea that fungi would have rudimentary communication pathways isn't really that insane. That doesn't necessarily make it true, but it always strikes me as odd when people talk about plants, fungi and other non-animal life as i

Is that really relevant in this case though? The Wikipedia page you refer to specifically mentions that there has to be existing buildings on the property for those rules to apply.

Yeah, the rules are similar in Finland (hardly surprising since the Nordic countries often try to harmonize laws), but there are specific requirements for buildings if one intends to live there permanently -- i.e. if you're building a

About 70% of Sweden is covered with forests, so acquiring some land covered by trees should be fairly trivial assuming one has the money for it. An article about this particular young builder mentions he built it on land owned by his family

You're right. It's time spent and not work performed. Original comment edited. However, in many professions being available for a given number of hours is often a major part of the job, and that means there will be a direct requir
