  Do whatever you want as long as you give them co-authorship.

  In lew of a hand cranked centrifuge, we installed a Crank machine next to the centrifuge, for “reforming offenders stimulating researchers by teaching them habits of industry.”

  You would need to filter by direction, that way it could only be spoofed by aircraft or another satellite. Sadly the only way to archive that, while going through the atmosphere would be with near visible light.
  Besides needing a clear night sky and being a danger to everyones eyes, I don’t think having lasers pointing up is very stealthy either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are they different shapes?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Because you can stack rectangles into bigger rectangles, can’t really do that with hexagons.

  The idea with metastatic is, that you can just put a repeater and battery in a box, stick a small solar panel on it and put it somewhere outside.
  If it’s found you are losing around 50$ instead of your freedom, as long as you left no evidence it’s yours.

  AARRRRG, that one hurt.
  Enriching is about isotopes of the same element.
  You know elements? The things that have the same chemical property?

  The whole challenge of enrichment is that you want to separate atoms by mass alone, and the difference is <2%. Nobody would build many expensive centrifuges if there was another way.

  Declining birth rates in Africa will become a problem for Europe, because immigration is how we keep our healthcare systems running.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have an idea ☝️⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  More scientists and inventors, more philosophers and artists, more people that share your niche hobby…
  The only people who have a problem with that, are hipsters or just like dieing a preventable death.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On Ploughing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had the same question a few hours ago, but I found some science.
  Tldr: 30% of energy use is in diesel, and about half of that is for tilling fields.

  Rant:
  Note that this is energy use, so only CO2 emissions are counted, while methan is ignored. If we stopped farming animals, the effective emissions of the sector would be cut in half. Even if we are unwilling to change out diet, maybe we should look at reducing the amount of fertilizer instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On Ploughing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The main problem is that, not ploughing increases the need for pesticides, currently around 8% of energy used and reduces yield. While not ploughing increasing requiring 3x the pesticides might not be the case, a 20% reduction in yield seems plausible.

  The main energy consumption in farming is fertilizer at around 50%, but more importantly half the emissions are related to animal agriculture. Cutting back on that would actually make a difference.

  It was interesting, but why are we reheating news from 2023 every few month?

  But they grow of air and water without significantly consuming the earth they grow in.

  They may not have noticed the cameras or not have a choice to go elsewhere in a reasonable time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The seed hides in the secure element of your device. (it won’t be impossible to extract, but the average kid is not gonna be able hack a secure element).

  But only one person needs to “hack” it on their device to publish the key, allowing everyone to use it without “hacking” their own device.

  You can’t store a key on a device and keep it safe from the owner.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PetSmart won't let you leave a review if you have adblockers on⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not.
  I usually go into zapper mode on ublock to remove the pop up without agreeing, but they probably treat that as “accept and continue”.

  Just switches and numbers, no foreign language support, no screen reader, no tool tips, no drag and drop, no night mode, …
  The only convenience feature was converting metric to imperial for display.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chaotic Evil⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Should have used display port instead of HDMI because from certain angles you only really see the rectangular side. Not that I ever tried to plug a USB thing into mine.

  I haven’t seen many clips, but the effect on me was more humanizing than anything.
  It’s mostly funny and having religious nutjobs is a shared experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Banana⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you tried fresh banana picked a minute ago?

  No, but if climate change keeps accelerating, I might be able to eat a home grown banana. Unless the gulf stream breaks of first, in which case I can heard reindeer.
  Both are horrifying to think about.

  While it could be read as 40*(1/4), it actually means 40+1/4. 401/4 would be true madness.

  There is a reptile cannel on YouTube (think it’s called clint’s reptiles), that does annual skeleton reviews for halloween. The worst I can remember are where snail and octopus.

  Had I not woken up then, I wouldn’t have remembered it at all.

  Writing mine down so I don’t forget it:

  Do you know those picnic huts that are all roof and open on one side?
  Well in my dream I was going to supper with friend and family, came across a hut and felt adventurous.
  So I climbed it to balance across.
  Something I have done before irl.
  proof

  But in the dream it was very long and crumbled under my feet in slow motion like in an action movie.
  I didn’t make it all the way across before waking up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's true!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Moskitos live anywhere there is stale water, so either clean it or have it wild enough that other insects outcompet them.
  Put your compost pile somewhere you don’t walk past a lot, because that’s where flies congregate.
  Ticks aren’t that mobile, they need some animal to carries them there.
