Fire gets it’s energy from fuel+oxygen. Most life does too. Plants (and other photosynthetic organisms) can also get energy from light but that requires you to sit in the sun doing not much for a long time. There’s also chemosynthesis, where energy is obtained from a chemical reaction, but that’s usually not nearly as powerful as oxidation.
Put another way, a car with NOS is way faster and more powerful than one without. So too is life that uses oxygen more powerful than life that doesn’t.
You could set up your own cloud, yes, but you could also use only ‘client’ devices, without ever having an off-site computer in the network.
Top half? 0-50°C is the top half. The bottom half is -50-0°C.
Even better, I don’t even feel a fever until it’s 104°F. I’ve just looked it up, and that’s exactly 40°C. Even my body likes round centigrade numbers.
If you want to edit macros in Excel, you’ll see a Vista window. Vista! In 2024!
Would that make invasive species unnatural? When does a disrupted ecosystem become natural again?
Trust the process maybe? This post is about the process of science correcting errors after all.
These are fantastic documentaries BTW, highly recommend if you liked Mayday, NOVA, Life, or any long form investigative journalism.
Gun! Unix? Not!
Are the version numbers going to be mm or caliber?
We have made some amazing discoveries with full-sky maps and analysis of the CMB. The human genome project has also yeilded a wealth of discoveries.
Especially considering that PDFs can be just a few Mb, and I doubt people will care if they’re not cached locally.
GNU isn’t punchy though; as soon as any punchy word get’s associated with them, people will use that word instead, and we’ll just get GNU/Thermite or GNU/Abson or something.
Well if we want to get pedantic, every unique thing passed around and spread is a meme. Jokes, art styles, idioms, words, greetings, most social behavior really. And you can go a step further and say diseases, species, even all of life is a meme.
And if there ever was a place to use this definition of meme it would be… LinguisticMemes, but this is a good second place.
The surface of stars are the coolest parts anyway, even the atmosphere is way hotter.
And no mention of neutron stars or feeding black holes? If you’re going to one up someone, at least do it right…
See that’s more realistic. Sneaking off to walmart is still a bit of a stretch in sprawl-hell, but I can see how a cheap locally available phone might make it’s way into anyone’s hands, especially as a hand-me-down.

Ogham is awesome
I’ve used it for cryptic languages in TTRPGs before, alongside a few other runic scripts like ᛖᛚᛞᛖᚱ᛫ᚠᚢᚦ︍ᚨᚱᚲ.
My favorite is Gallifreyan, which doesn’t have unicode, is far too niche and homebrewed to have unicode, and how the hell would unicode even work?
Piracy has always been a distribution issue. There are definitely greedy lazy people who will always want more for less, but the organized effort required for piracy only happens when fair access is impossible.
d = r/sinΘ
Human FoV is about 210° with both eyes. Thus Θ is 105°.
The radius of the sun is 695,508 km.
Thus, d is 695,508/sin(105) → 720,043 km
720,043 - 695,508 = 24535 km away from the surface of the sun.
However, because the FoV is greater than 180°, this is actually below the surface of the sun, and any distance below the surface is enough to fill your vision.
To completely fill your field of view with the Sun, you’ll need to take a Parker Bath and dip into the sun.
Ladux? Linda? +Linux, pronounced “Add a Linux” -> Ada Linux? LinLace?
