Classic case of know your audience. I don’t think this is going to be a particularly unpopular opinion here. I know my personal anecdote doesn’t mean everyone else agrees with me, but myself and most people I know with social media have dramatically backed off. I think if it weren’t for fb shoving strangers and paid content in my face, my feed would be dead. As it stands I only even log in for my bootleg weather guy’s posts.
I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise
Those are rotating jet turbines. To my limited knowledge there’s no way to just stop them. They wind down even if they had turned them off. The very first article I found searching his name showed him approach a jet that was slowly moving across the tarmac, which obviously means the turbines were turning and not going to just immediately lock up if turned off.
I don’t even know that the pilots would’ve seen him from the footage I saw in the one article I looked at.
According to the article, this isn’t even recapturing CO2. It’s grabbing plant/decomposable waste before it rots, turning it into these dense bricks, and burying it under ground. Like, collecting corn husks from farmers. This feels stupid to me and like a big gimmick.
At the time of this comment, 3 down voters. Who are these people? Anti foie gras people to the point of it being even mentioned gets a down vote? Heavy drinkers that hate French food? Ducks or geese that have opposable thumbs?

I guess that’s a caption not a “what’s going on” but I’m sticking with it
The poor tree never crossed tiger again
Book bans all the way down
I’m not really answering that question as much as adding a recommendation for another author, so hopefully you don’t mind.
Check out the Broken Earth trilogy by N.K. Jemisin. Hugo and nebula awards were awarded for novels in the trilogy, and I tore right through them. She has a short story collection that I read first and it really hooked me in. Such a wide variety of worlds, peoples, and consciousness she’s able to bring to life. The title doesn’t make you think “sci Fi shorts” but I assure you it is, and fantastic! “How Long 'til Black Future Month?”
Shit. You spoke of it. Sorry for your loss.
That’s a good point, and lithium batteries get sparky when the lithium gets exposed. In the boat example I’m not going to worry too much about lead acid batteries, if they leak it should dilute quickly. Honestly unless punctured, I’m not going to worry about the lithium batteries really either. You typically find out about punctures in those rather quickly. Like before the water is the issue.
No expert but do have an electronics degree and somee EE theory courses later in life. I don’t think much would happen. Don’t be a direct bridge across the terminals yourself and I don’t think there will be much of an issue being in the same body of water as a battery with even close proximity.
But I could be very wrong.
Yep, using one to run clipper for my 3d printer with armbian as the OS. It’s been rock solid for me. There obviously some adaptation and discovery when trying to use the io as it’s similar-but-not the same as the raspberry pi io and manipulating it is not the same. But it works, it was available, it was competitively cheap, and it’s been stable
Plus I get to say I’m running my 3d printer on a potato
Yeah, I was texted the other day to fill out a survey and didn’t even reply with the “stop to opt out”. Just, leave me alone. I’m not excited for Biden but I’m going to do what I need to do. That won’t show in any polls.
It’s probably NaCl
In other news, several border patrol agents seen chasing tornado with tasers drawn.
Devs fault, missed the deliverables promised by mid level managers and/or product owners that were impossible to meet but needed to be released anyway
Not a bitter dev who’s been there/done that or anything
Denver isn’t great with public transport either. There’s at least a minimal light rail system and buses go pretty much everywhere, so that’s the good part, but the city is so sprawled out that unless your destination is a direct route you’re looking at an hour or more to exclusively use public transport. And that’s really the main city. Start getting out into the expanded metro area and there’s not many choices except for a handful of spur rail or bus lines.
It’s a lot more than many American cities, especially on paper, but in practice it’s pretty rough to use as a primary transport.
