Is Urban/Suburban/Rueal more about cencus area or lifestyle? I’d argue that there are plenty of North America cities with suburban population cores, because it’s all single-story buildings and parking lots until you hit the few ofice towers. Heck, the tallest building in my city might be a grain silo.
Also, looking around at the buildings near where you live is a lot easier than looking up census data, so you’d probably get more results that way.
We don’t start or lose them either.
Neotony isn’t disputed to exist in humans, only the ultimate cause and extent is disputed.
No, they do sometimes. Some meow in greeting to each other, as seen on cat cams.
As a newcomer to CLIs, GUI are great because you don’t need to know what you’re looking for. I can just open the devices window, and they’re all there, with most of the extra hardware stuff that’s not actually a real device already cleaned out.
To do the same with a CLI would take me 10 minutes of looking up what the hardware commands are, 5 minutes figuring out flags, and 30 minutes researching entries to see if they’re important. Even just a collapsible list would make that last step so much easier. And no, I can’t grep for what I need, because I don’t know what I need, I just know something in there is important with a vague idea of what it might look like.
Once I figure that all out for one thing, the best I can do is write that to a notes file so I don’t need to search so far next time, but there’s a good chance that I’ll need a different combination of commands next time anyway.
Not hating on CLIs, just wishing I could figure out how to use them faster.
Uninhabitable? Most of the evacuations were unnecessary, and there would have been less loss-of-life if most people sheltered in-place. In the year following the event, nearby residents received less than 20% of lifetime natural background radiation, about 2 chest CT scans, or a bit more than an airline crew, and less than a heavy smoker.
As for waste, dry casks are plenty good. The material is glassified, so it can’t leach into ground water, and the concrete casing means you get less radiation by sitting next to one, as even natural background radiation is partially blocked. Casks are also dense enough for on-site storage, needing only a small lot to store the lifetime fuel use of any plant. A pro and a con of this method is that the fuel is difficult to retrieve from the glass, which is bad for fuel reprocessing, but good for preventing easy weapons manufacturing.
Meanwhile, coal pollution kills some 8 million people annually, and because the grid is already set up for it, when nuclear plants close they are replaced with coal or oil plants.
Upgrading the grid is expensive, and large-scale storage is difficult, and often untested. Pumped hydro is great for those places that can manage it, but the needed storage is far greater, and in locations without damable areas. Not only would unprecidented storage be necessary, but also a grid that’s capable of moving energy between multiple focus points, instead of simply out of a plant. These aren’t impossible challenges, but the solutions aren’t here yet, and nuclear can fill the gap between decommissioning fossil fuels and effective baseline storage.
Solar and Wind don’t have the best disposal record either, with more efficient PV cells needing more exotic resources, and the simple bulk of wind turbines making them difficult to dispose of. And batteries are famously toxic and/or explosive. Once again, these challenges have solutions, but they aren’t mature and countries will stick with proven methods untill they are. That means more fossil fuels killing more people unnecessary. Nuclear can save those people today, and then allow renewable grids to be built when they are ready.
Electrons are suspiciously close to spinning dynamos, so even just moving electrons might be considered spinning something.
A hot stove has it’s uses as well.
Width does affect how many asteroids you need to clear, so I suppose it is astrodynamic.
Yeah, hydrocarbons are probably going to be really good energy storage for airplanes and gas turbine generators. Outside of that, I don’t see much use for a rare, dirty, hot, energy source. Rockets I guess.
I can see the different levels of quote, but there’s also spaces between them. Too many line breaks maybe?
Your reader might not support nested quotes though.
If you want waydroid to see files on the host, you need to muck around with bind-mounting a directory, or just using abd to move files manually.
I think waydroid can’t see anything beyond itself normally. I had a hell of a time trying to get files on there, so if there’s an easy way to get Waydroid to see files on the host, I couldn’t find it.
One of it’s purrrposes is to shake wounds and increase bloodflow. This is why cats sometimes pur after conflict; they’re licking their wounds in multiple ways.
This is a bit of an issue when what they want out of the oil is the energy. If you have enough energy to make oil, why not just use the energy directly?
Agreed. While I realize I am making some fuss about being right, being left and able to try again is far more important.
I’d much prefer those over cursive characters. I can tell those apart when written by hand.
One of my default phone keyboards had them. Either an old bersion of Gboard, or the Samsung keyboard.
Ah, a definition of life in Namibia for a grade 12 course. Quite the scientific authority you have there.
Here’s a short paper (Origins of Life and Evolution of the Biosphere 32, 387-393, 2002) that refutes your position that a single definition of life is definitively agreed upon.
Here’s a paper (Synthese, 2012) on how a definition of life is impossible and pointless.
There is a species of dog that infects other dogs as a parasite. There are viruses with larger genomes than some bacteria. Obligate parasites and endosymbiotes often lose large portions of their genome and depend on their hosts for their vital functions. Nature doesn’t care about are definitions, and biology hates hard cutoffs.
By that same logic, should president Truman have been ousted after WWII? Should the Canadian trucker convoy have torched parliament? Should all governments decend into chaos as soon as any group doesn’t like them?
I’m not saying this specific turn of events shouldn’t be resisted, I’m looking for better logic, a reason why the rules shouldn’t apply here. Something like the overt and immediate threat to people’s wellbeing and freedom. It doesn’t matter how good or bad this administration is going to be according to an individual, it matters that they’re going to cause a lot of unnecessary harm to a lot of people. Subjective opinions are how we got here.
Maybe we’re past the point of that mattering, perhaps a critical mass of people just want to cause harm and a lot of fucked up shit is inevitable, but I do hope to keep a sense of ethics and justice to rebuild when the fight for existence ends. I don’t want to become the uncritical extremists we’re fighting against.
On one hand, I’d argue it was the British who started that.
On the other hand, we definitely didn’t stop it.
