If a hobbit and an elf had a baby.

Everyone’s morals are affected by their paycheck, unfortunately.

As far as I understand, the line gets even blurrier then that. Apparently quiet a lot of the subsections of your brain do things that can be interpreted as conciseness, but we experience it as one unified thing.

I actually think your brain is the first thing to succumb to fever damage, no? Still, quality cartoon.

Perhaps I want clear. If you split helium, you lose energy. You have to go above iron if want to release energy from fission (mostly).

Splitting helium requires energy. Go for Radon or something.

I thought Arch was notorious for breaking all the time? Is that a specific version of Arch?

I’ve bounced off GitHub more than once trying to figure out how to download the .exe file that I assumed must be somewhere. Honestly I still don’t understand the interface and I’ve submitted bug reports for Jeroba on there. I might have even used GitHub for a project once? Every time I look at it it’s overwhelming and confusing and none of it is self-explanatory. But, that’s fairly true for a lot of stuff in programming.

I use “local send,” but it’s good to know there are options!

The title made me afraid it was going away! I love that app!

I couldn’t find any information as to why, but playing around with other symbols suggests it only does it with symbols where they assume the space isn’t supposed to be there. E.G. Colon, ending parenthesis, equals sign, etc. Digging around in the settings I couldn’t find any option to disable this functionality.

Folks elsewhere suggested switching to the Swype keyboard, but I don’t have personal experience with it in a very long time so I don’t know anything about the settings and automatic behavior.

Now there’s thinking with your head!

God, the 21st century must be an operational security nightmare. Maybe don’t post videos of your ammo cache? That’s useful information to the enemy.

In case you haven’t been to a library in a while (yes I know this post is a joke) they do way more than just books these days. Depending on the library you’ll get music, movies, videogames, computers, photography equipment, 3D printers, laser cutters, audio visual equipment, recording studios, meeting rooms, and probably other shit I’m forgetting about. Smaller libraries are obviously more likely to stick to the basics, but my suburban library where I used to live had nearly everything I mentioned.

Gimme a soil fact!

While race is mostly a social construct, it’s easier to use race as shorthand for “populations with long-term historical ancestry in a loosely defined geographical area, accepting that population mixing has been occurring since the dawn of time and will continue to do so into the future” than it is to say that whole thing every time

BUT, it’s my understanding that, for example, Pacific Islanders are generally healthy at a higher body fat percentage than other groups of humans.

BMI is useful for historical population comparisons because you can calculate it using just height and weight and it’s already been in use for a very long time. It’s so crude as to be very misleading when applied to individuals, especially if you decide to turn your brain off when deciding how to evaluate the information.

The origins of the calculation are immaterial. It’s value is in comparative studies, not direct judgement. The actual judgement of “good” vs “bad” BMI numbers is dumb(ish) but it is good for comparing populations across both time and space.

When talking in a clinical sense, I think we need to standardize on a numerical standard, like body fat percentage or BMI. It’s my understanding that people want to get away from BMI because it’s crude, and I agree, but communicating in numbers will make things less confusing. Healthy body fat ranges depend on race, gender, and age, but it would still be better than using words the public has coopted to become unclear.

Gorgeous!

Without knowing the numbers, it’s impossible for me to make a judgment call on the release, but it’s important to remember that literally everything around you is radioactive. Just because the water has measurable amounts of radioactive material in it does not mean it’s unsafe. Ocean water is 3 parts per billion uranium, and yet people happily eat ocean fish.

Again, without knowing the numbers I can’t say for sure, but depending on what’s in the water (and how much there is) it very well could be entirely fine to dump it.

In any case, yeah I totally agree. It’s a publicity stunt.
