Probably because there have been rescues of explorers nearly running out of air while trapped in a submersible. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12220565/The-nerve-...

This article and discussions here in the comments motivated me to send off 3 emails to relevant ministers of my provincial government. When I had my first kid, the environment and what our Earth would look like when she was my age really go

Perhaps. I never know what to believe. I've heard smart, knowledgeable people like Bill Gates state that he thinks we won't experience a scorched Earth ending, but that we will solve this crisis. I'd like to believe him, but

I don't actually think that is what they meant. If there are no animals to even sample, you don't describe that as "that covid was not found in a single animal sample". No one would phrase it that way.

I wouldn't be so sure. The app has been the talk of Reddit and many tech circles for a few weeks. Many are saying that without Apollo they won't use Reddit anymore. So if someone were to buy it and say "The same Apollo you lo

I'd be surprised. Making (a few billion) API calls to someone else's database is much different than hosting and storing all that info (not to mention managing all the mods etc).

Sure, but the first LCD tv's were $50,000, now you can get one for $100. It won't be $5m forever.

Funny that the admin would give vague instructions that anyone could figure out in a heartbeat. Why not just give the address?

Some googling and napkin math. 1 fridge = 1 kW A fridge is 25 cubic feet, so 40 watts per cubic foot. A Dell E2422H monitor uses 13 watts while powered on. So a box 0.325 cubic feet could power a monitor, or a cube of 8.25" edge length

No notifications on the screen in the car. There is a red exclamation mark over a bell icon that won't go away unless I set up Android AUto.

I'm also in a fancy GM and I can't understand why I can't tell it that I prefer Car Play and not Android Auto. I still get alerts from AA about setting up my account etc. I wish I could uninstall all it's components.

My project had me visiting a bunch of farms. I'd interview the farmer about their antibiotic use with their sheep (specifically extra-label drug use). We'd then collect stool samples from a variety of the sheep to test for antimic

It's a bit gory, but lots about farming is. We were in the barn at another farm and they had a ton of lambs running around. One looked quite a bit different than others, it looked like he was wearing a white sweater. The farmer explain

During my university days, I did a thesis project looking at antimicrobial resistance in sheep populations in Ontario, Canada. I have an impressive story about dogs protecting sheep flocks. I was on a big sheep farm (1100-1500 sheep) that w

Yes, but the format is very professional. It always includes the text, with some words emphasized in yellow. These are done intentionally, not just someone clipping a youtube video.

I'd say 80% of my gifs are either from The Office US or Anchorman, so you could be right!

If you've used Giphy, you may notice a ton of the gifs are from the CBC show "Schitts Creek". It seems like their media team did an incredible job clipping up the show and uploading a ton of high quality gifs to the platform.

You know there is no way to provide that evidence. And therefore I think it's obviously to any reasonable reader that it's an opinion.

Do they need to be appealing? I think our focus should be on energy generation change (phase out coal, nat gas etc). I don't notice if the electricity running into my home comes from green sources (nuclear, wind, solar) or black (?) so

Interesting thought on what would work to persuade even the most staunch anti-climate change person. Obviously increase floods, hurricanes, forest fires, heat waves etc won't work. Imagine if it was something like crazy bumpy plane rid
