Also, gotta think about whether 5% mortality rate is acceptable.
For an airdrop number of pond fish? Sure!
For your hobbyist number of expensive fish? Absolutely not

I know that… I was taking liberties to take hydroelectric power to its furthest logical extension by saying that the sun is evaporating (boiling) the water, it goes through the water cycle, it is deposited atop mountains or further upriver, and it then flows back down through the hydroelectric stations.
- Comment on But yes. 1 week ago:
One could even argue that hydro power is just boiling water, letting it condense, and then letting it spin a turbine

I don’t believe any single part of this, it just can’t be true

- Comment on What kind of special knowledge or equipment does piracy groups have? 4 weeks ago:
I think the reason why regular store bought gizmos won’t let you decrypt it is because content can require HDCP to make sure you don’t gain access to the data. If there were a device at Best Buy that just bypassed this, I think the DMCA and rights holders would come down hard on the seller.
I’ve heard of gizmos from shadier places may be able to decrypt the data but it’s likely because they’re acting outside of the law.

In general, use numerals to express numbers 10 and above, and use words to express numbers zero through nine.
Example given:
students were in the third, sixth, eighth, 10th, and 12th grades
Your example does not follow the style guide and is an example of when to use digits
Percentages 50% 75%–80%
If you’re a professional writer, you should be following the style guide and this is explicitly spelled out by the APA.

Closest thing would be toluene, but that has 8 hydrogen atoms
- Comment on It appenes that my email has gotten on the hands of some scammers with a botnet or something. What do I do? 1 month ago:
They all have a system for keeping track of that, I know iCloud automatically assigns a URL to each based on where you created it, or Fastmail (which I use) has a comment field and automatically tags each email as it comes to your inbox.
It takes more than zero effort to create it, so it’s too much effort for my wife, but I absolutely love it.
- Comment on It appenes that my email has gotten on the hands of some scammers with a botnet or something. What do I do? 1 month ago:
There’s really nothing to be done about the compromised email address, but I would really recommend using a service that creates unique email addresses per service that you sign up for to mitigate the blast radius when one service gets pwned. It takes a long while, but thankfully privacy laws are stronger now and it’s easier to force a company to either delete your information or change the email they have for you.
Some potential services to consider include:

Edit: seems I was wrong about the escape mechanism for helium, it seems the primary mechanism is polar wind escape.
Also, hydrogen can also apparently escape from the Earth.
- Comment on End nuclear fusion! 1 month ago:
At the height of the French Revolution, he was charged with tax fraud and selling adulterated tobacco, and was guillotined despite appeals to spare his life in recognition of his contributions to science. A year and a half later, he was exonerated by the French government.
- Comment on End nuclear fusion! 1 month ago:
I mean too much Helium isn’t a problem. It’s one of the few (only?) elements that will just disappear if you don’t do anything with it.
It’s light enough that it rises to the very tip top of the earth’s atmosphere and is then stripped away by solar radiation. That’s why is a depleting natural resource, not because it’s burned or used or anything, but because it just escapes.

- Comment on Why do many search engines seem to ignore operators (e.g. exact phrases, term exclusions, OR, etc.)? Is there a good reason for having a dumb 1997-level search logic that I'm not seeing? 4 months ago:
I believe they’ve said that explicit operators are much more expensive to serve than a regular search, so that’s probably why they don’t respect them. Especially a
