Reply to comment by zillskillnillfrill in TIL that the EU forces soda makers to introduce tethered caps to make sure they are being recycled. by memeiel
Around here they are. They’re generally different types of plastic.
That said I’m sure pretty much everywhere else has better recycling machin that we do so it’s probably fine in the EU.

Apparently, the sign is 45’ or 13.7m tall. Apparently bananas tend to be between 7” and 8” in length, so, if we take 7.5”, that’s 72 bananas high.
Or about 0.9 of an Olympic swimming pool diving board to the bottom (5m deep+10m board height)

From the fourth paragraph:
> Nature does this – forests and oceans, for example, are valuable carbon sinks – but not quickly enough to keep pace with the amounts humans are producing. So we have turned to technology.

Umm, How does fire extinguisher run time correlate to time to escape a fire?
You either spray the fire or you say screw it get out of the house… or spray then throw it down, yell like Bill Paxton in Twister and run like hell to GTfO when it’s insufficient in taking out the fire. You don’t have to be spraying the whole time you’re leaving.

I find it’s better at creating stations that come up with songs that actually fit the theme and has lead me to find some great artists. It’s also cheaper.
Apple Music is great if I know what I want to hear. On a Mac the player is horrible though. And I hate how “downloading” mixes it in with music I actually Own on iOS, which I absolutely detest.

Reply to comment by Zebo1013 in How nuclear waste will help spacecraft explore the Moon — and beyond by Aeromarine_eng
Depends on the volume. Generally, about the same as any of the RTG’s we’ve launched on NASA or ESA probes. Not much. It burns up and distributes in the atmosphere to almost nothing in a wide swath. But again it really depends on the volume and when the malfunction happens.
There was a huge uproar during the Cassini–Huygens probe launch and NASA studies because of it.

For others here (from): > In December 1998, the IEC addressed such multiple usages and definitions by creating prefixes such as kibi, mebi, gibi, etc., to unambiguously denote powers of 1024.[10] Thus the kibibyte, symbol KiB, represents 2^10 bytes = 1024 bytes. These prefixes are now part of the IEC 80000-13 standard. The IEC further specified that the kilobyte should only be used to refer to 1000 bytes. The International System of Units restricts the use of the SI prefixes strictly to powers of 10.
Also: The ISO/IEC 80000 family of standards was completed with the publication of Part 1 in November 2009.
For us old timers (and a lot of documentation), KiB is still new. Indeed, KB is still said used to reference 1024 bases instead of kB which is 1000… and that’s why that IEC 80000-13 was published, to clear up that confusion and add KiB as a documented and remove ambiguity. It didn’t matter so much with low amounts, (64000 vs 65536 bytes for instance) but now that it’s used for petabytes, it’s kind of a big difference.

And this is why communication is key. If your partner has no idea why you’re stressed or depressed or lonely or whatever, they can’t help and you’ll just keep digging deeper and growing apart.

This reminds me of the Precision vs Accuracy definition.
A rocket is precise if it can hit the same spot over and over. It’s accurate if it can hit close to the target over and over (think shotgun). You kinda need both.

This is just one of many reports/stories about it.
It’s really not something that’s up for debate, it happened quite a bit.
Also, brining up hospitals getting overwhelmed during flu season is not helping your point. Anytime someone who needs care can’t get it you don’t get good results… if not getting care didn’t have an impact, then the people didn’t really need the care in the first place.

Um, I hope you just forgot there “/s”, because that’s kinda common sense and well proven. You slow the spread and you don’t overwhelm the Health care system.
Remember when hospitals were out of beds and running low on oxygen? That wouldn’t have been a problem if it spread slower.

Lockdowns actually helped prevent spread quite a bit.. when people actually did them. If everyone actually did it, it would have greatly reduced the impact of Covid, but people can’t follow directions or be bothered to give a crap about their neighbors and elderly.
They also don’t mean you don’t workout. I know I did a lot of jogging, calisthenics and Ring Fit during lockdown. Working from home during that period gave me lots of extra free time to stay in shape.
