Real. A recipe bot, of all things, which makes it even worse that it's suggesting not only a combination with toxic side effects, but something that wouldn't have been edible anyway.

> Whereas fossil fuels add to the overall level of CO2 by emitting carbon that had been previously locked away, SAF recycles the CO2 which has been absorbed by the biomass used in the feedstock during the course of its life.

I guess it's reasonable to claim that it's sustainable if it's part of a cycle rather than just being a source of CO2 dug straight out of the ground. We still have a way to go with carbon capture but this feels like an improvement over the current fuels.

Not all abuse is physical, and not being physical doesn't necessarily diminish the trauma the survivor has experienced. Why is 'survivor' not apt here?

I imagine sterilising the ones you've caught is the easy part. How do you actually catch them all though?

They claim to have sterilised 150000 dogs. At the beginning of the programme, you could reasonably assume that every stray dog you see needs to be processed. Later on in the programme, you'll be releasing a lot of dogs that have already been processed, which seems like a lot more effort for the last 10% compared to the first 10%.

Then the real problem that ought to be solved is too many people boarding with too many large bags.

The size of some 'carry-on' baggage of late is getting comical - I've seen some as large as my checked baggage. And then some airlines allow an additional 'personal item' (laptop bag, handbag, etc) as well as the larger carry-on. Add to this an unwillingness to place anything under the seat in front (presumably to safeguard their limited legroom), and you're left struggling to find a place for your modest bag if you board last.

It's just selfishness, pure and simple, and it won't be stopped until the airlines enforce sensible limits.

In the UK, bank accounts rarely cost anything and debit cards come for free as standard. Banks are still profitable.

I would hazard a guess that most banks in fact make most of their money through lending your funds to other people.

From the article you linked:

> The solution in Germany was a series of forts and fortifications, called limes, which used timber from the great central European forests and ditches to prevent tribal incursions. In contrast, large forests did not exist in Northern England and a great wall was built using stone...

That suggests there couldn't have been that many trees to fell in the first place. The terrain simply doesn't support it up here, about all it's good for is grazing, which is why you'll see field after field of sheep in Northumberland and not a lot else.

Maintaining a healthy work/life balance is in no way 'quitting'. Employers expected too much (without adequate reward) and are simply shocked that people are drawing a line.

"Drugs are typically distinguished from food and substances that provide nutritional support."

Food is food. Drugs are drugs. That's not to say that a poor diet won't result in suboptimal results, but let's not conflate the two.

And if anyone wants to go really custom, it's worth checking out the QMK firmware supported by many mechanical keyboards. Aside from the level of customisation made possible by QMK, another benefit is that everything lives on the keyboard - no need to install keyboard profiles on each machine you might connect the keyboard to.

This one gets trotted out every time someone wants to demonstrate how terrible JavaScript is. You can do many of the same stupid things in many other languages too, and most of the examples in that quiz are pretty contrived.

Do you have some real-life examples of things you've personally encountered, rather than crazy examples that no-one would actually write?

One of my favourite language-related sites is the online etymology dictionary, which has the following entry for 'correlation' for anyone interested: https://www.etymonline.com/word/correlation#etymonline_v_191...

It depends entirely on the license under which you published. Not everything is, or should be, fair game for corporations to exploit.

> There's the small matter of millions of undocumented migrants entering Europe who will be trapped in this now-illegal-cash underclass

Are these migrants frequently making cash payments in excess of €3000?

> "I think they just wanted to show my employer and other CEOs that people deserve to be congratulated, rewarded, even just acknowledged for their hard work and dedication," he said.

Even if his employer or other CEOs saw the crowdfunding (what are the odds they even browse those kinds of sites?), surely this would just reinforce their belief that it's okay to underpay and undervalue their employees because someone else will just pick up the tab?

The last paragraph explains:

> Unlike halogen and incandescent bulbs, however, LEDs release too little heat to activate thermocatalysts. So Kim's team is developing photocatalysts that are stimulated by the near-UV light emitted by LEDs, as well as other catalysts that transform part of the LEDs' visible light output into heat.

Why do I suspect the next part of this post will be you asking us to run untrusted JavaScript code in the console of our Discord client, pilfering our session tokens and running arbitrary commands?

That'll be one of the tricks your browser employs to save compute time on animations for inactive tabs/windows. Interact with it again and the browser will allow scripts/animations to run at full speed again.

The season ticket only covering station-to-station travel means you're still left with covering the leg at either end. As an example, this is likely still going involve a car journey plus parking costs at 'local' station, and a Tube trip to the office at the other end. I think any potential cost saving quickly disappears, while still being left paying for only a single route.

I don't think it's unreasonable to ask to know the difference between fact and fiction. Articles on astronomy are clear when they share an artist's depiction of some distant phenomenon so readers don't mistakenly believe that our telescopes picked up that impressive image.

With AI tools getting better and better, it's already getting to the point where viewers will struggle to differentiate. Where's the harm in labelling the images?

Your 3 users are probably okay with 99% uptime. No need to sweat over 5 9's for a hobbyist/personal site.

This one.

In case you missed it, WotC did in fact sent the Pinkertons to a Magic player's home. Not a great look, even for a litigious firm.

I believe that was already covered by "some very exotic solution to a fake problem that was simply invented as a cover for some convoluted financial fraud".

> They have sugar in them or chemicals.

Nitpick: everything is a chemical (even water itself).

Depends. Are you referring to the rotation of the wheel or of the car? While I've never heard it used before, the post to which you're replying avoids that ambiguity.

> If you're gonna hijack the back button for the purpose of your app, folks, at least make it eventually go to the previous page. Don't make it circular.

Or, in the spirit of the site itself... they can fuck the fuck off. Not sure if it's lazy or hostile but it ensures I won't visit again.

If we were talking about free, open-source AIs available to everyone (ironically, what OpenAI set out to become), I'd be inclined to agree with you. However, we're talking about commercialised AIs that scrape your intellectual property and turn it into a money printing machine without paying you a dime.

> To confirm that the gears performed this function, the researchers performed a neat (albeit morbid) trick with some dead Issus. They manually cocked their legs back in a jumping position, then electrically stimulated the main jumping muscle in one leg so that the leg extended. Because it was rotationally locked by the gears, the other non-stimulated leg moved as well, and the dead insect jumped forward.
