Wow I didn’t know that was uncommon, it happens to me too. I don’t have any clue what causes it unfortunately.

“You can also opt out, and only have to give me 1 billion.”

That’s very interesting. I wonder if active prediction and control of instabilities like that will be necessary, or if fusion reactors can be made more stable. I guess time will tell.

Zero stars? I think there are at least a few stars, in the sky at night.

wine has problems with a lot of games unfortunately, especially ones with any sort of anticheat.

When a glucose molecule and a fructose molecule love each other very much…

Yeah, I have a 64GB phone and I’ve run out of storage a few times, but when I do I just copy my older photos and videos off to free up a bunch of space.

Best I can do is 200 rabid wolves.

As a North American, I don’t think $1,000,000,000,000 is a quadrillion. It’s 1x10^12, which is 1 trillion. 1 quadrillion is 1x10^15, or $1,000,000,000,000,000.

Amazing drawing, I love all the labels.

So that’s what power over Ethernet is!

Nothing humanity has done will survive.

I wouldn’t say nothing, after all we’ve sent a bunch of stuff speeding out of the Solar System and will probably send more in the future.

The amount of people who save images by screenshotting them instead of downloading the image is also disturbing.

My city is expecting the first rainy Christmas in recorded history. The Earth is so screwed.

There are some fish though probably.

Another option for the even more security-minded is to physically disable the radios.

Pretty sure ffmpeg is just black magic at this point.

I wanted to see if I could detect the radiation from a small sample of americium-241 that I pulled out of a smoke detector, so I put a Pi camera with no lens facing it and took exposures for a couple hours. After combining them and removing dead pixels I ended up with tons of tiny white specks where radiation had hit the camera sensor. I linked the final image below, and here’s a timelapse video (compositing newer frames onto older frames to keep the radiation specks). video

Yep! Here’s a few hours of combined exposure of the radiation from an americium source from a smoke detector.
