"despite no(?) evidence of harm" If you look up most of the chemicals on the list, all of them have suspected health impacts and the most have been confirmed to be harmful in some degree or another.

For example: DEHP - Endocrine disruption, disruptor of thyroid function, Ingestion of 0.01% caused damage to the blood-testis barrier... etc

The 1952 Korean war rations are comparable with Whole Foods Boneless Beef Ribeye Steak Grass Fed ?

Assuming the advertising model still works, yes everything is "free".

I notice this as well, so much manufacturing is based around injection molding or other plastic related materials.

It's refreshing to see new techniques/ technologies used with things like metal and glass.

I always like the benchmark these by vibe coding Dreamcast demos with KallistiOS. It's a good test of how deep the training was.

In the context of World War I, this painting feels completely irrelevant to the reality of the war, its causes, and its consequences.

Compare it with the works of Otto Dix or others who actually experienced the war firsthand there is no "battle between good and evil," there's just senseless mayhem.

I made an onsite/offsite tracking platform with a project kanban system. The idea was to make it affordable, simple and lightweight, but it failed to get any traction.

SaaS a crowded field for this kind of thing, and like everyone says, 20 percent of the effort is building it, the rest is marketing and support.

TLDR for the paper and article:

The paper introduces a new, data-driven method for simulating particle motion in fusion devices that is much more accurate than traditional models, especially for fast particles, and could significantly improve fusion reactor design.

When you go to any Western state, you see this romanticization of cowboy mythology everywhere. People genuinely believe it, and it’s been several generations since the actual cowboy era, so facts about the period are scarce.

The part that ends up being truly harmful is state legislatures passing laws based on perceived views of 'The Old West'

Looking at you Wyoming.

Is this one of the missions where the shuttle returned a satellite from orbit? There were a few:

I put Facebook in the same category as Google. They have all of these flashy projects, but at the end of the day they never get beyond serving advertisements. It's their core competency and always will be.

Google and Facebook thrive in a winner-take-all environment. Both companies profit from advertising, just as traditional media outlets did before Google and Facebook captured all the ad revenue.

There used to be some accountability in the media-advertising model, but that is largely gone in the era of slop, targeted propaganda and automated rage bait.

Considering that software is entirely artificial, I would argue that disciplines in the physical sciences are likely much more difficult when it comes to breaking new ground or discovering novel technologies and solutions to longstanding problems.

Just think about how little progress has been made in solving complex issues like climate change, curing diseases or securing sustainable food supplies. These are incredibly challenging, real-world problems.

In contrast, software engineering often comes down to rearranging data—it’s powerful, but not always as fundamentally complex as tackling the physical world's hardest issues.

I've never really played Minecraft.

But when I was 7 or 8 playing Kings Quest II was amazing to me. You walk around, and go anyplace you want, you could even swim if you type in swim, pure joy. I think this kind of freedom is the appeal to kids.

I like the idea of autonomy and fulfillment. That said, the values expressed here seem to contradict the reliance on cheap flights and promotion of cruise tourism, both heavily petroleum-dependent and environmentally unsustainable industries.

I’m curious how this fits into the broader framework of doing meaningful values-driven work.

This basically sums it up:

“Some information will always be best conveyed in a straightforward bar or line chart, particularly for audiences that don’t have time to engage deeply"

I remember being told to 'specialize in something' when I first started. Looking back I think this is terrible advice.

Playing through Shenmue 1, they did a really good job capturing the vibe of the area. Looking at random points in Yokosuka just feel like Shenmue.

I looked up alien stickers, and you can get 300 of them for $52. Assuming you sell them at 50 cents each and sell out in one month, that's a $98 profit. However, that depends on the cost of placing/location the vending machine.

The TLDR cause was:

The windshield pitting epidemic was a case of collective delusion, where heightened awareness, media influence, and misattributed environmental factors led people to notice and misinterpret existing, ordinary damage as a mysterious phenomenon.

Before anyone points out that trees already handle this, let me clarify:

We need to pursue all available options simultaneously to effectively combat climate change. This includes:

    Reducing reliance on carbon-based energy to lower emissions.
    Implementing carbon capture and long-term storage solutions to remove excess CO₂ from the atmosphere.

I would be interested to know the cost of more sustainable packaging at economies of scale. Almost all plastic-based packaging emerged after 1950, yet even before then, there was a need to package mass consumer goods on a large scale.

I also believe plastic and PFAS coatings are used in packaging largely because they are assumed to be the only suitable materials. However, in earlier times, there were many clever and cost-effective solutions.

Is anyone here involved in the toy industry, whether in design or another role? What’s the industry’s take on this?

This is Cowboy State Daily, one of the few news sources from Wyoming.They publish a lot of stories with a significant amount of bad faith, particularly concerning energy and environmental issues.

wyofile.com is a better source for energy and environmental reporting.

I'm pretty sure any company with around $11 billion dollars in operating revenue isn't going to care if they get sued for putting out false information.

I remember having a Game Genie, it worked sometimes. But like the article says. it would also make things glitchy and crash everything now and then.

TLDR: Economies of scale.

DC map looks about right.

LinuxCNC isn't the only thing out there either, lots of commercial machine tools use Linux to power their controllers.
