I probably play devils advocate a little bit too much, but most people are too eager to firmly plant their feet in some belief, rather than just roll the ideas around. And if you like to probe around, you'll have some questions or at l

The point of the analogy was to represent that our actions may be essentially inconsequential if all holes are not sealed, and that larger holes or offenders should take priority. The hole size wasn't really all that important, but yes

That analogy doesn't really apply imo.. Global murder totals don't impact me like murders in America do. Similarly, climate change effects all parties, no matter their contribution. A better analogy, imo, would be something like a

It takes life a little bit to react to these changes though, e.g plants dying and ocean life being killed off. There's a risk of cascading effects from plant/animal network collapse. I have heard people building off of your idea t

From what I understand, the sun has also been getting hotter, hasn't it? I agree that man contributes to climate change, but quantifying this is where I think the conversation gets interesting. I haven't really gone very far down

>That it went faster doesn't mean it's less safe No, but it does the mean the long term risk are not defined as well. What if, for example, this causes reproductive harm, or some harm to the offspring? I personally believe this

I understand where you're coming from in pointing out what seems to be inconsistencies. But we've been dealing with coronaviruses since the beginning, while mRNA vaccines were only deployed en masse in 2019/2020 (right?). I d

>Deciding not to get vaccinated massively increases your risk of transmitting the virus to others. Can you source this claim? In the original Pfizer, Moderna, etc studies, they never tested for transmissibility, only reduction of COVID-l

Speaking strictly about mRNA vaccines, the risk is not yet well-defined, since it's a new tech, so doing a quantitative comparison at this point doesn't seem right. Additionally, the methods of data collection between vaccine and

Some forms of immunity decrease your ability to transmit to others, which protects those at risk, so it's not just about self-preservation.

>The final reason to get the vaccine is that it's common to have the virus with no symptoms and still spread it. Even if you're willing to bear the risks of infection yourself, are you willing to make this choice for others? (O

I've thrown away so much stuff that has value. Pyrex erlenmyers this week, for example. I don't regret it and it's hard to do (for me), but I've learned every item you own has a cost associated with it, e.g maintenance o

I think by reflow I really meant "maintain zoom between page turns". On my Kobo's default software, I had to re-zoom each page (so I installed KoReader).

Hopefully they add open sourcing the whole stack to their roadmap. That'd be the best thing they can do imo. I'm so eager for a device like this that I can 100% get behind.

So you don't have issues with the lack of PDF reflow? I just want something that works for reading and doing math/cs while laying in bed.

by noobly 5y ago
That looks great, 13 inch screen ensures no reflow issues too. Are you able to flip through the pages with minimal issues while in split screen mode, or do you have to manually resize the page each time? Also, it looks like you have this in

I am reading the rm2 doesn't reflow pdfs? Has this been a problem for you?

by noobly 5y ago
That is really too bad. Hopefully there's either a larger device or upgrade soon, I've been waiting a long time for something like the reMarkable to mature into a product that fits my needs.

Are you able to achieve a split-screen-like functionality, so you can do scratch work while referencing the text?

Opportunities to ask about these devices don't come up very often, so please help me decide what I want here: I want something that allows me to do math problems while laying down horizontally, mostly before bed. With a book and paper,

As a cultivator, I wish they'd eat the fungus gnats too!.. And I wonder how much supplementing substrate with nematodes would increase protein content, or how'd I'd test this. The ratio of protein to carbs is about 1:2 in the
