Maybe it's a better idea to release massive amounts of N2 and O2 rather than chasing a 100ppm of CO2 here and there. In, like, setting up petawatts of nuclear electrolysing plants that will split seawater into H2 and O2, where the gase

This phone number thing is a deal-breaker for me. Skipped several communities over that in fact. I can't be bothered to fetch a burner sim every time someone or other wants a number. And I'm not giving out any of my more permanent

Absence of evidence == there must be more study before any conclusions. Instead of the usual hypocrisy.

Improvement in user counts? I'll give you that. Improvement in the quality of discussion? Not so much. It isn't a coincindence that we're discussing this here and not somewhere on discord. Remember the eternal september.

Nonono, polyethylene and PET are the best. PTFE has this vicious fluorine atom there. (being serious, the article is blatant clickbait, ceramics are just fine, spectroscopy can detect parts-per-billion and that says nothing about actual har

A case of scare of old codebases. Decision was made to have at least some control.

2.20 would stand for 2^20 vulnerabilities. I decided to just ditch it and write from scratch something api-compatible, but extremely cut-down on "features". Maybe someone would release something along this line. I can't.

What, not even pinewood and gelatin for ribs and stringers, and some linen cloth plus pine resin and alcohol for doping? Seriously, that's like 1000BC tech level. Wing is no problem as long as one can calculate how to make it stiff en

3.3V, that's pretty standard nowadays. I don't have a breakdown, it was cobbled together from whatever was around, an STM32 devboard, some regulators, some half-dead li-fe-pos, almost useless BMS from ali, this sort of stuff. Obvi

VC, the Volkov Commander is most of NC fit into a .COM (56K iirc). That I think the true successor of the Norton Commander is. FAR was much later, and quite much more that either. Then there's Total Commander ...

I ran a webserver of sorts on an STM32F767, a python one of all things. 200mA looks like about par for the course, ethernet and all.

Hah, I once ran a PuTTY download mirror for the clients of an ISP I then worked at. It was like 20 years ago. Even then it was obvious that they don't want any fancy domains, just that the work is done and putty.exe delivered where it&

The answer is, and while it might be taken as rude: just learn how to brew and enjoy tea. Tea bags have nothing to do with tea. It's that simple. Having said that, the plastic tea bags usually have better "tea" in them.

> What is the benefit of storing the heat of wood pellet or gas? Can't you just use those on demand? Burners scale badly to lower power. Also, automatic pellet feeders are prone to breaking down, which you absolutely do not want to

In cold climate regions solar power can't heat houses. If talking about individual houses, not condos, most economic solution is a two-stage water heating powered by a wood pellet or gas burner, where the second stage has a 3-5 ton wat

Low intensity conflict. It's always like that. Someone shoots at someone somewhere else. It just a background noise. Why bother? You won't hear your bullet. Even if you could, it won't change anything anyway.

LA is a very useful tool. But imagine that you never heard of concepts behind it. It'd just become a more-or-less useful artefact. And in no time it would devolve into a useless ... thing so to say, a decoration, as you lose knowledge

Can only up this. Not teaching set theory is just an abomination. And logic. That year of Prolog taught me so much.

Which would be utterly useless. Math, and specifically Geometry aren't about useful skills, they are about understanding the world.

The whole of your reply is scary. I guess it's just I think that the pursuit of knowledge shall have nothing to do with any one 'identity' or 'ideology'. It is orthogonal to that, or it just doesn't work and th

Lockpicks for the common locks can be made on site in under 5 minutes and then after about half-minute the lock is broken, and picks are discarded. That is why they aren't carried around any more. And that is not taking into account th

Yup. Crab and lobster porn isn't really a thing, while Octopoda have a significant, lasting and ancient presence in Japanese lore, James Bond movies and whatnot.

It's actually debatable if concrete in (most of) modern construction is on par with Roman concrete that lived to this day. Sure there are compositions that are in fact better, but are they used in common buildings? I think the answer i
