PSA: if you’re on a remote island or dysfunctional yet floating ship do not abandon it unless truly necessary - raft will be always more dangerous

Sooo actually why land mammals can’t filter out salt from seawater?

365.25 days I believe is the better approximation because it’s the rough time it takes Earth to be in the same spot - hence the leap years

This is, reportedly, a comment under, reportedly, a post

Okay, but genuinely in what cases the borrow checker caused issues for you? Cause I use Rust for a few years now and have not yet encountered the infamous fight with the borrow checker.

Also, there’s a “new” and “better” borrow checker coming in 2024 edition.

I am a god because it works but I have no idea why it works

When you use Celsius from birth 41C does make you say FORTY ONE DEGREES?!!!

You are indeed correct, some artistic freedom is definitely expected from that kind of series. But relying on Russian propaganda sources and making Legasov a hero doesn’t qualify as artistic freedom but misinformation. Also the representation of the soviet reality was at least inaccurate - my dad who was raised in the former soviet block summarised it as “representing how Americans think it was not how it truly was”.

Chernobyl is a good and very interesting series and it’s good that it raises at least some awareness about the catastrophe. But imo it could be more technically and historically accurate without losing its attractiveness.

Believe it or not a lot of people here (including me) had no knowledge about that issue before this announcement was posted.

And my comment is referring to one very specific “thread” from your comment. Yes, you’re discussing other issues in your comment, but they’re at best only vaguely related to that first sentence.

Try reading some current information on it.

Oh no no no, we don’t play that game here. If you’re trying to convince someone of your argument, the burden of providing reputable and scientifically accurate evidence is on YOU and you only.

And only if the other side won’t accept scientific evidence then you can blame them.

I’m not saying cats can’t be vegan but to the best of my knowledge their diet must be meat based. As it is you who are trying to convince me (and others) cats can be vegan, it is also you who must provide the evidence.

I sadly need to point out that you might have missed a few anatomy lessons

You as a human use pure iron. But non-animate objects, yeah mostly alloys

it’s not hard to read

Until there’s missing brace somewhere

No need for acting when the (non-US) date format is superior

I strongly disagree. The porn is a huge issue, but there are a lot of actually useful websites where kids and teens can learn about their interests. Gatekeeping all that knowledge would make young people significantly less knowledgeable

One issue with “hacky” methods suggested here I can see is they might disable eCall in the EU. And eCall is actually a safety improvement so for some it might be a very suboptimal compromise. But maybe if enough people show resistance to uncontrolled data collection then some meaningful legislation will be passed.

Relevant XKCD for the OP https://xkcd.com/1053

Slightly related to the issue of remembering addresses, I think the main issue is with the fact that local nameservers are pretty much non-existent if you’re not running OpenWrt or OpnSense. Which is shameful because the local nameserver is an amazing quality of life tool.

Also the fact that officially there are no local TLDs except for “.arpa” while browsers won’t resolve one word domains without adding http://

And don’t get me started on TLS certificates in local networks… (although dns01 saves the day)
