When fusion or fission occurs you get new atoms.

It’s Hydrogen that’s existed since the universe cooled enough for electrons and protons to make atoms. Seconds after the big bang.

That’s most hydrogen.

It’s never been fused into heavier elements just still sticking around and caught in the planetary part of the solar system rather than the sun itself. Or any previous suns.

There’s some helium like that but most helium was formed inside suns later, and heavier elements all formed later in suns or supernovas.

Exceptions are possible. Money isn’t everything for everyone.

It’s based on Hamlet. So Shakespeare, not the bible.

Is the internet scarier?

Or is it just millennials and “internet natives” having kids and more of them knowing better what the internet actually is.

I tell people to imagine a public place with everyone in it, the majority wearing masks or costumes. With constantly recording surveillance. Do you take off your mask.

Sure the mask is not perfect protection, and there are areas off to the side where people seem to not be wearing masks. But go ahead and choose a way to keep your kids safe.

Well a lot of us went emo or goth, so black?

But then the skaters just went baggy, lots of girls went baby pink and hello kitty.

Every group had their own shape of jeans, we wore shirts on top of shirts.

A lot of it was just the cheapest stuff that could be made in the colours no one hated and it’s not gone away since.

But it feels like every shirt had a logo or picture on so I’d say “graphics” was the colour of the 2000s.

Fl. Oz are actually nothing to do with weight. They are volume.

For each fluid oz. use 30 ml

It’s only approximate but the official measurements for nutrition actually do it in the US so it’s not a real unit anyway anymore.

Honestly, Zoom just has a hilariously high frequency of vulnerabilities being discovered.

Bankruptcy is seen as a bad thing. In reality it’s the part of market forces everyone has forgotten is important.

If something we need becomes unstable in the market, the government has to provide it and usually does on a break even basis.

Base load electricity will likely have this future.

So to disappoint. This is a shopped title.

But the real thing isn’t much different.

I’m sorry, I started joking because you weren’t being serious either.

Wait, you were being serious?

Well I’ve got a solution for you!

Just insert this adapter into the 3.5mm jack and it will be blocked for you. It’ll no longer be wasted space because this adapter is a useful place to store several grains of rice for a snack.

Unfortunately you do lose a feature as a result of using this adapter, it will stop one of the speakers from working and degrade your audio quality.

But you shouldn’t complain about anything removing a feature, or degrading your audio quality. You’ve got a new feature of being able to store rice!

You can even buy special fairphone sustainable rice from us. With only a small 300% mark up but an incredible 80% of the sustainability of already available rice. It comes in green!

The “demographic” of human being who doesn’t want to wreck the planet if Fairphone’s target.

If Fairphone is not trying to be universal anymore you should see that as a problem. So should every fairphone customer.

I’ll buy a more sustainable phone than the fairphone when my phone loses support in 2027. I’ll encourage everyone to buy a more sustainable product today.

I’d much prefer a 3.5mm jack

You can’t stop a genocide with reason, to commit a genocide you have to dehumanise people, you’re beyond reason.

The only response to genocide is materially affecting the perpetrators. The time for diplomacy stops at atrocities.

Don’t talk to Likud’s supporters about anything. Defund and boycott the country until Likud is not in power.

That requires speaking to the international community and especially American voters to see what effect they can have on the current president.

There are sandwich artists and sanitation engineers. Everyone knows they get paid like crap.

Unfortunately “prompt engineers” seem to be getting paid small fortunes when their job is essentially using a massive amount of computing power to commit various levels of intellectual property theft they hope no one will notice.

There’s no point about talking about the physics of the grid without the economics.

The story of the New York blackouts is not one of groundbreaking physics.

It’s the story of two lightning strikes, some very basic physics, and a systemic failure.

Understanding the systemic failure is not a physics question. Electricity is already well understood and that physics isn’t changing.

A renewable grid is not a physics question either. It’s one of regulation, redundancies and the end goal hasn’t changed.

Saying “production and consumption on the grid must match” might as well be put in the pile with statements like “wires must be made of conductive material”. They’re just 2 things that haven’t changed.

That’s wrong and it’s simple to explain why.

If the grid allows negative prices, grid storage becomes a profitable business opportunity.

The power consumption will always go up or production will go down if prices go negative.

We are missing a key piece of the puzzle to decarbonise the grid and that’s storage of the abundant renewable power we could easily create.

This is a sign the market is ready for investment in storage.

People will say it’s not the same as the other Boeing incidents.

They’re right, it’s not.

Unfortunately this is a new normal.

The Federal Aviation Authority has succumbed to regulatory capture. The FAA is no longer capable of protecting American’s from poor design and build quality by American manufacturers, or from poor maintenance by American airlines

The best way to stay safe is to do 2 things:

1. Choose to fly on Aircraft designed and built in Europe recently, or perhaps America before 2007.

The FAA had massive budget cuts after the financial the crisis and even though they were meant to be temporary putting the budget back has been a political football ever since. American Aircraft designed and built since those budget cuts are the problem.

2. Choose an airline that has routes in Europe and not just domestically. That means maintenance is likely to have to comply with a better funded regulatory body in addition to the FAA.

Do one and 2 and you’ll almost certainly be safe. Aircraft design and build will be as safe as we’d come to expect, so will the maintenance.

I’d prioritise 1 if you can’t do both. Even though it seems bad, a well designed aircraft losing a piece like this mid flight isn’t going to bring it down. Even if it’s not good enough to catch things like this I’d expect maintenance by domestic American Airlines to still avoid a crash, even without FAA oversight being effective. If a piece falls off, redundancy or simply the fact it’s not critical to flight means the pilot will be able to simply divert and land. Delays, not deaths.

The problem Boeing has brought in is we’re now flying modern aircraft without redundancy in key systems and structures. The FAA has allowed it. It’s the thing that’s most likely to cause fatal accidents.

Well how is it un-typical?
