AKSHUALLY comparing shadows across the Earth is a great way to prove it is in fact an oblate spheroid. The Greek mathematician Eratosthenes used shadows to calculate the size of the Earth over 2000 years ago and he got pretty damn close. He didn’t need to prove the Earth was round, because people weren’t idiots like some are these days.

I think there are multiple, I read an article recently where it was stated by an expert. But checking back now they don’t link any sources except the name of the expert, which seems to be a respected expert in the field, but that means nothing in the end.

This is one of the papers I could find within 2 mins, but I think there have been multiple papers on this.

There has also been a lot of criticism on the original study that said blue light from phones was the issue, so there are probably a lot of response papers to be found about that.

I played the demo and I would recommend!

I have about 100 hours in Hammerwatch, 200 hours in Heroes of Hammerwatch (mostly coop), but only 20 hours in Hammerwatch 2 (big miss for me). So for Heroes of Hammerwatch 2 I played the demo and was sold right away, played the demo again in coop and it was awesome as well.

Looking forward to putting the hours in this one.

Wasn’t it confirmed recently to be total nonsense and nothing to do with circadian rhythms? Compared to the sun a phone puts out very little light and the circadian rhythm only respond to slow changes in light, not on and off in a short time.

It’s more about your phone keeping your mind active instead of relaxing and going to sleep. But if you already can’t sleep because your mind is churning on something, a bit of distraction might actually help. It’s very personal and not a clear cut rule on who has trouble sleeping from phone use or when to put down the phone.

So it isn’t like using your phone before sleeping will never have an effect on how well you get to sleep. But it has nothing to do with blue light or circadian rhythms.

Obviously, there is True, False and FILE_NOT_FOUND

Just go straight up brake-cleaner, take off the yellow as well

Europe gets it warm climate (relative to how northerly much of it is) because of ocean currents transporting heat from the south. Climate change might cause these currents to change and one of the ways it could change is a shutdown of the currents that bring the heat. This would cause the climate of Europe to become more like northern Canada with a lot of ice, ultra cold winters and moderate summers.

HOWEVER, it is far from certain this would or even could happen. Ocean currents are a pretty complex and chaotic (in a math sense of the word) system. Predicting what effect climate change has is very very hard. It will probably have an effect for sure, but what that effect is would be hard to say. Even a shutdown of the amoc could mean a new current system replaces it and who knows how that system functions.

Especially for a place like London which isn’t on the ocean but on the North Sea, it’s hard to predict what would happen. If the ocean currents cause the climate around the UK and Europe to become colder, London could still get a lot of warm water coming in from the south in the North Sea and still have a moderate climate.

We should be very scared of climate change. If you think about how much energy you need to put into the ocean to even heat it up a little bit, it’s too much to fathom. But we did heat it up, by a lot. However these kinds of speculations aren’t really helpful. At best it scares people who are scared to begin with, at worst it has climate deniers tell people akshually the world will become colder not warmer.

I’d say that’s crazy and never going to happen, but looking at the past 10 years have taught me I have no idea what can happen and what can’t.

Lmao, how would Trump ever do that?

If you want to sell your product/service in the EU, you comply with EU laws and if you don’t comply you pay the fines. And if you continue to not comply your product/service will be banned and you will not be able to sell it legally anymore. And in case of a webservice like Facebook the site can get blocked real fast.

Cringe

Enshittified used to have a very specific meaning in the lifecycle of a product/service. These days it just means “getting worse”. And yes, everything is getting worse all the time.

That’s what he always does right?

Wow that’s kinda sad.

We had one that did that as well, but he was just dumb as nails. He would be laying down with his tail around him so it’s at his face (looong tail). Then he would hit himself in the face on accident with his tail, this would piss him off so his tail would start wagging in his face. This pissed him off even more so he would grab his tail and bite it, but as soon as he felt that he would realize what he just did and start grooming his tail. Playing it off like he didn’t just do something stupid, but was just grooming normally. He did this a lot, because he wasn’t always the smartest of the bunch.

It’s been a long road

Well they do that with their own tails as well, it’s just hardwired for cats to become chaos

Please note you should NEVER flush any baby wipes or similar down the toilet. They should go in the trash if you must use them, but using washable alternatives (if you have a baby for example) if possible is better. Baby wipes contain a lot of plastic. If you flush them they might clog up the toilet, which you might not care about at work. But if it doesn’t clog up the toilet, it gets into the sewer and causes trouble there, trouble your tax money / water bill money goes to fix. If it does go through smoothly it will in the worst case end up in rivers and oceans, floating around for a long time before degrading into microplastics.

Yeah I’ve seen this thing before and think it’s a neat design but not really worth funding tbh. In the end it’s just a Pi with a screen too small to be useful and a keyboard that would be terrible to use. Do we really need to fund more plastic crap? They could just put the designs online so people can 3D print them themselves, and put it on a service like pcbway for people that want a high quality version. People already do that all the time.

If they would design an interface for it as well, that would be really cool. Then it could be a useful thing definitely worth funding. But with a vanilla Pi Linux the user experience would be terrible.
