This is just trad vulgarity. There is no simple distinction between some abstract concept of "beauty" and different historical trends in design and architecture. Sure contemporary architecture can be terrible but the depth of enga

Hmmm... the offending compound was lead acetate which was also used as a general sweetener, sugar substitute, and to preserve fruit/veg. So I think the scope for the influence of lead poisoning is a bit higher than suggested in the art

Yes, its essentially nonsense and seems to come from some quarters of the academic community as well as a marketing/differentiation technique. In reality there are: PRNGs - pseudo /deterministic, CSPRNGs - crypto secure pseudo &#x

Where do they plan to put them...NW? They give out about Bavaria and south but most estimates I've seen only support northern sites as being actually worthwhile. The biggest wind related fallacy apart from farting in public is putting

Yeah, no denying other factors but repairing that electron microscope is no walk in the park and it prob enables others to do it even cheaper given the walkthrough style tutorial. I'm just replying to a pretty flippant characterisation

"One of Zeloof’s best finds was a broken electron microscope that cost $250,000 in the early ’90s; he bought it for $1,000 and repaired it."

This comes just a few weeks after fb were shown not to be able to implement door access badges to their own buildings in a safe and secure way. Why would I ever trust a company like fb with hardware in my home/interacting with devices?

Not really: the pico is in the mcu space, compute module for industrial projects, pi4 as large sbc, and pi zero as small sbc. Seems like a good range. I think the least differentiated are the pi4 and pi zero but there's still a big dif
