Do I understand it incorrectly or does it allow them to webstream my home address???

Wait, do you have a source for the 50% number?

Gas valves famously use the opposite direction

Wireless communications radiation physically cannot cause increased mutation rates and this is quite well studied. Wireless communication operates on frequencies (for the most part) below 10GHz, which has wavelengths measured in centimeters and meters. The biggest wave that can impact human DNA is UV which has wavelengths measured in nanometers - orders of magnitude of difference. So no, wireless communications are super unlikely to impact cancer rates.

A fridge and dishwasher! Food safety is such a huge contribution to our health

Interesting. Ubuntu/PopOS screenshot tool freezes the screen upon hitting the button. Unfortunately it doesn’t have the cursor feature

We’re still talking about the mouse cursor, right?

120 Celsius is still fairly low for baking

Doesn’t frequent cleaning of sinuses cause irritation? I believe healthy sinuses should be mostly self cleaning. Of course if you have some long-term condition then it’s different

I don’t see a monospaced version anyway

hyperfixations

You probably mean “special interest”. Simplifying, hyperfixation is such a strong fixation on something that you absolutely can’t think about anything else.

Ship of Theseus

Sorry mate, those figures with no meaningful captions are borderline incomprehensible. Like, what’s the difference between first and second figure?

the fuckup in redefining the mole in 2019

What? It was necessary due to our observations of the universe (on every scale), not some arbitrary “fuckup”

I create tables every day for run-of-the-mill stuff that simply doesn’t need a database. No one has time for that.

It seems that your issue isn’t the lack of tables in sheets but no easy way to create a simple db.

If we want to break Microsoft’s monopoly than we can’t do that by reimplementing Microsoft’s monopolistic ecosystem. And that creates the opportunity to correct questionable and arbitrary Microsoft decisions.

People are used to MS Office now but so were they used to typewriters a few decades ago. And if we’re changing OSes we don’t have to stick to one office suite.

I strongly disagree. The porn is a huge issue, but there are a lot of actually useful websites where kids and teens can learn about their interests. Gatekeeping all that knowledge would make young people significantly less knowledgeable

One issue with “hacky” methods suggested here I can see is they might disable eCall in the EU. And eCall is actually a safety improvement so for some it might be a very suboptimal compromise. But maybe if enough people show resistance to uncontrolled data collection then some meaningful legislation will be passed.

Poland went through such populist policies and their only outcome was massive inflation

I actually wouldn’t suggest this episode to someone whose father’s body is currently donated. But good episode nonetheless

The linked blog post? I can’t find a word about what it does in it. Only how amazing the new version is and how difficult it was to make it. You can kinda guess from the post the purpose of the app, but nothing explicitly given
