I’m going for UK, specifically Scotland.

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.

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.

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.

Are they bringing back the headphone jack?

My Nokia should last until 2027 with updates but it would be nice to know my options if it breaks.

If you want a market solution to correct this, it should cost more money to submit frivolous patents.

Or simply rate limit the number of parents a company can submit if they have a lot of failed applications.

Sorry, you’ve wasted our time with 3 failed applications this month, no more applications until next month.

The stand up bit that launched a career.

Human papillomavirus HPV is responsible for warts on feet.

So genital warts, mostly HSV (Herpes). Not nice but not particularly harmful most of the time. Cold sores and genital warts. Mouth, genitals. Won’t look nice but you won’t die.

HPV - cancer.

Further investigation on the evidence may be required but social acceptability chart above may be justified.

If you have a foot fetish get vaccinated against HPV everyone.

Also not googling this. Please take this comment with the respect and authority it deserves. (None)

Wrong way to approach it.

To parents, start using the word wrong.

Any time you kid does something cool you might have done as a kid. “Awesome, that’s so boomer.”

If they can’t do their homework. “You’re such a boomer.”

It drives kids up the wall when parents use slang right, but when you use it wrong it’s even more infuriating.

iPods had an 82% share of the US market at the time the term was first used.

https://www.theregister.com/2004/10/12/ipod_us_share/

At the time a “broadcast” to you iPod made the name podcast pretty understandable.

And there’s not much else I could think of to call it given technology at the time.

MP3 player was the generic term. But MP3 cast feels clunky.

I did hear audioblog used. But they weren’t all blogs.

It really comes down to the fact that at the time everyone knew “pod” meant “iPod” and that’s it.

Cat-headed eagle in Cantonese.

Cat bird in Japanese.

Literal translation for their words for “owl”.

PENGWINGS!

Headlines.

No one should buy this.

Fedora 40 (KDE) branched has it. Working great.

Current final release scheduled for 16th April.

So if you want to try it out. Get the branched Fedora release. Note: Currently pre-beta by about a week. At own risk.

Also some good stuff with AMD support and Wayland too.

Any time you want to leap on early the Fedora branched release is available and with update policy that will become beta and then stable Fedora 40 automatically.

Framework 13 has a fingerprint reader in the power button.

Look up the antikythera mechanism.

The Romans could make enough quality metals for a clock.

The idea of a printing press was revolutionary but it’s just an engraved plate, ink, later and a weight on a lever.

I’m confident I could make a printing press without plans having seen one. I’m not confident I could design an accurate watch.

I might manage a pendulum clock. Just. But that’s far less useful.

They wish to disrupt trade. And disrupt the narrative of the war.

Evidence: they’re disrupting trade. We’re talking about this.

My entire point is that pollution and article is irrelevant.

No side is perfect but there’s one side who have ultimately orchestrated that part of the world to the place it’s in now.

The US put the extremists in charge in Iran because of the Red scare.

The US put the extremists in charge in Saudi Arabia for the oil supply.

The US has supported Israel’s stance against any non-jew in creating an apartheid state.

The US has given weapons to several sides.

The US has directly bombed several countries.

All while not supporting the Arab spring and grass roots push for democracy.

“Not perfect” doesn’t cut it. The US is aggressively colonialist, just as the British were before them.

The lack of ethics and increase in waste is a deal breaker for me.

They’re not the best performing. They’re generally slow. Other phones objectively perform better.

Not only did the fairphone 4 ditch a feature I needed and would prevent waste in general for many.

It also caused my housemate who owned one no end of issues with every update. Bluetooth dropouts, touchscreen glitches.

Issues with the camera.

Issues with the microphone

Slow charging.

He’s a beta tester and he’s paid a premium for it.

Support from fairphone has basically been pathetic.

It’s hilarious how many supporters of this company are. It must be like the phenomenon of car drivers supporting public transport. They’re hoping everyone else buys a fairphone.

As they’re not even the most environmentally friendly phone it’s all a bit silly.
