Archaeology in the Ashes of Notre Dame

I think the main concern is breathing in lead dust. Also, since it's so soft, it rubs off easily and can contaminate other things. I've worked with lead, and my bright orange gloves were black with lead pretty quickly.

Gaseuous lead condenses on all cooler surfaces, but due to the high surface tension of liquid lead, doesn't bond to those surfaces. Leading to a cover of mobile lead dust over everything, which makes breathing dangerous. Touching it is also not that healthy because the dust has a high surface area, is already oxidized and therefore too easy to dissolve in bodily fluids and sweat.

The situation is of course dependent on a whole lot of boiling lead having been around, solid cold lead doesn't really produce a lot of dust if you leave it alone.

I think there's a business case for building a machine learning baseed tool that separates content from crap automatically.

And it's not like there's a shortage of quasi-labeled training data.

Before Mozilla's rewrite of Firefox, I had this great addon installed that just hides all floating elements. Great for blocking stalking consent forms and title bars, or even worse, those social sharing bars at the bottom of the article.

Ublock origin's element zapper works to kill the title bar, and reader mode is also available. Workarounds for bad site design, I know, but at least I can read the text without distractions.

Sadly, I'm still waiting on Mozilla to reopen all addons back to me. I know I can use the nightly version of the browser and a custom addon collection to force the installation of the addon, but I don't want the instability that comes with it. I'm already running the beta so I can have my about:config with all the stability issues that come with it.
