why would one even bother publishing data where a fifth of it is “unknown”

i looked it up properly and according to https://faculty.washington.edu/dcatling/Catling2009_SciAm.pdf we basically only lose hydrogen and helium, and we do so very very slowly (3kg/s for hydrogen, 50g/s for helium).

Put important things in flood-safe boxes, at least. Or just move them to a place that isn’t at risk of flood.

Idk what level of flooding we’re talking, but maybe you could put in some mitigation measures around your house? Stuff like making sure the ground is angled to send water away from the house and into the street, just digging out retention ponds, removing impermeable surfaces…
If we’re talking BIG floods then yeah ultimately the house will have fish moving in, but it could still buy you time before the water starts claiming the house.

losing more atmosphere to convection? i don’t think that’s how that works

It being stable is in fact kinda why it sucks, it’d be great if it would collapse

they pulled out their cyberdeck (a commodore 64 with an armstrap and a small CRT display affixed) and started typing furiously

i checked their post history and they reference being drunk while commenting previously, so i can only assume they went on one hell of a bender and fixated on dishwashers while struggling with some sort of trauma…

this is fucking baffling to me because EVERYONE here has a dishwasher and has had one for at least… two generations now…
The only places that don’t have one is tiny apartments where it would occupy half the kitchen.

the real test is what happens when you open the door again

slightly dried-out pizza is gourmet shit, it’s like how salami is made.

your last sentence is willfully ignoring the systematic horrors of AI that can only be properly fought by making AI as a whole socially unacceptable.

being degoogled is kinda the point of lineage 😭 i don’t hate /e/os and the other stuff but holy hell they seem to have completely buried the existence of lineage and it feels so fucking strange and not good

The thing that annoys me is that one of the big strengths of open source is that anyone can help make it better, which SHOULD allow it to be a legitimate alternative provided it’s popular enough.
But for some reason both maintainers and users/contributors tend to find it really fucking difficult to be sensible about things, with users/contributors being needlessly rude (among other problems) and maintainers not giving a shit about the quality of their projects.

Like… it’s totally understandable and okay for projects to be flawed since the people making it are mere mortal humans, but we should neither be responding to this with “ugh write better code you lazy scrub!” nor “fuck you i write this for free you don’t get to demand anything”.
We should respond to it with “hey {xyz} could use some improvement” and “hm yeah that’s true, i can’t be arsed to implement it but anyone who wants to open a PR will carry the favour of the heavens”.
It’s not rocket science.

on ice?

i’m very curious how you imagine streaming being killed, are people gonna go back to laserdisc?..

it genuinely makes me a bit angry that y’all never mention lineage, why are you ignoring by far the most normalized and usable android distribution??

protecting me from using my fucking browser, most of the time

and through the magic of buying two of them, you can have two of them

except if they don’t include the multiplayer then why the fuck does it cost 80 bucks?
