Don't know, but I don't think we'd want mountains of trash (whatever its composition) to wind up orbiting Earth. AFAIK a lot of energy/thrust/velocity is necessary to escape Earth gravity altogether. I'd guess

Yes, of course, 'apt install obs-studio' works. However, on 20.04LTS apt installs OBS v25.0x, not the current version (27.2.x). What I was talking about was installing v27.2.x on Ubuntu. FWIW the OBS site gives up-to-date installa

I'm a physician who's prescribed medications for many ADHD adults. Methamphetamine (MA) is legal to prescribe for ADHD and indeed a few patients had best results with it. MA isn't "stronger" than D-amphetamine but m

I've had long experience with Linux, FreeBSD, and in the last 9 years with Windows too. On the whole I think you're right, it's always been a "mixed bag" when it comes to the gamut of installing, use, and upgrading

That may be true but gas cooking isn't available everywhere. So if electricity-based cooking is necessary, induction is likely more efficient than conventional resistance coils. In our kitchen we have both. Items heat faster with less

Among other things I've done I've been an artist/printmaker for a few decades. Can't say how many prints I've made. Always great when work sells, but it's not a predictable event at least in my experience. Very

Now I'm curious, just how is science actually "cheating God"? Of course there's a huge body of literature on the subject of God and science, including contributions by some of the most important theoretical physicists.

Well, yeah. Allergic to self == "autoimmunity". Happens when body systems (including brain) aren't playing nice with each other. Though the brain is a major immune system organ, whatever we're thinking about at a given

Thanks for that charming bit of history. Humorous but also astonishing that the cores were salvageable after such rude treatment. The use of such cores was before my time in the computer world so I have no experience with them. I wondered i

No question about it, no one is immune, "to err is human". Also true that assessing performance of tasks requiring complex judgement is itself error prone. Credentials alone are an insufficient baseline. So for all kinds of roles

Prevalence of prostate cancer increases with age >70. Of confirmed cases ~2/3 are low grade, require only "active surveillance". Around 20% are intermediate grade tumors and ~10% are high-grade, aggressive cancer. The basi

Yeah it's happened like that in local communities where I live. Big company says to city government "if you don't give us a big tax break we'll move our [headquarters|factory|operations|etc] to our branch in [that other

Over the years I've practiced medicine the idea of "evidence-based" care has had its ups and downs. Part of the problem lies in the question of what is "evidence". From what I've seen, heard and read, the quest

My house sits at near tree-top level, Steller's jays are frequent visitors. Like other corvids they're intelligent but also cranky, often contentious critters. The jays absolutely adore peanuts. Fun to watch their peanut selection

Pressure cookers are great for stocks, cooking beans, rice. Waffle iron, well, not so much. Our kitchen is small, no room for mere gadgets. Sous vide items compact pretty well so not a storage hog. Time not space is the issue. Like &g

I'm self-hosting jitsi in a "regular" VPS (4GB/4cpu). Though Docker is a popular and supported option. In the years I've been using jitsi it's improved immensely. The current stable version is quite usable, wor

For most things we want to do there's more than one way to do it. Ultimately it comes down to having freedom to try different things, to experiment with web technologies as my interests evolve. I really really dislike having to bend to

In the case of sqlite (created by D. Richard Hipp) the software is public domain. Development was funded (at least in part) by corporations. The author isn't expecting payments from "ordinary" users. The author's firm ch

Re: sous vide , why not? We've been using this for quite a while, it was one of those "experiments" during the shutdowns. Yeah, it takes some equipment, and like everything else there's a bit of a learning curve. For a

No question Alzheimer's is a tragedy played out much too often. It's also a tremendously complex condition that's been the focus of research for decades. Inflammation contributes greatly to the disease burden of many conditio

I've had similar thoughts. If GUI programs running in WSL will look just like "regular" Windows apps (as MS said they intend to do) then Windows becomes a kind of front end to Linux. That would solve the "desktop" p

Excellent thinking, unassailable logic. I'd go a step further to state we truly are incapable of "understanding" nothingness, we're not constructed to know (in any sense) what that state is like. Precisely the reason we

True, that's the normal process but if the President vetoes the bill Congress can override the veto by 2/3 majority in both chambers. IIRC the Senate passed the bill unanimously. If the House passes the bill by a large majority it

This is very interesting. According to stats provided here [0], 77.5% of New Zealand's population are "fully vaccinated" against COVID. I think differences probably due to selected reference population, your figure is percent

An interesting observation from an inside perspective. I was aware of a few physicists who had "peaked" early in their careers, Einstein was a prominent example. That poets show the same pattern is something I just learned. About

No question military experience can be extremely traumatic even without exposure to combat. People vary greatly in "resilience", some are very sensitive to trauma but may have no way to know that about themselves before encounteri
