Remember it spawning a bunch of copycats? For a while every community had their own code block. I wrote one for a usenet group i was in at the time.

alt.sysadmin and alt.sysadmin.recovery both had em iirc…

Clearly a Dutch flag torn in half.

The point is that it’s a passive process, not an active one. No need for pumping.

Water is so much denser than air that you do get more exposure time per unit time.

The concentration isn’t as important as the difficulty to remove it. It’s still a hard problem, but rock weathering is one way to accomplish it, but it would need a lot of exposed rock surface.

A bit silly. I picked up the Holy Mightstone quest item on my WoW paladin in like 2005, and decided to save it to use, someday, to get some RP revenge on Arthas. I held on to it until facing him down I’m WotLKs Icecrown Citadel raid, and used it on our first boss attempt. I want to say that was 7 years but I can’t be arsed to look it up.

Immediately wiped, of course, but winning was never the point.

Water absorbs a lot of co2 and removing it from the water via weathering is a valid idea.

Megagermans vs milligermans

I work for a Canadian university library and I assure you that data archival efforts are proceeding apace. I can’t really say more without possibly endangering American colleagues.

I’ve noticed that every different social media medium/site has its own Eternal September moment. I think, optimistically, that we’re still before that point. If we get popular and the general population arrives, it’ll also attract the predatory ecosystem of state actors and corporate bullshit.

I think Lemmy and the Fediverse in general is resistant to that, but not immune. I expect an effort to create One Big Instance that most people use, or an oligarchy of large instances working together, like Microsoft and Gmail and co do with email.

I’ll have to look for that. Probably not at our regular market but there is a south American specialty store across the street that I have neglected.

Soak rice overnight. Add riceand water, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, to blender . Blend. Strain. Serve over ice, or not.

The American beer you get in Canada is terrible. Budweiser and Miller and shit like that. American beer at an American pub was great, when I last visited.

Sounds like isekai.

As well as owning the board itself and being able to change the rules. It’s a sucker’s game to fight on a battlefield controlled by the enemy without overwhelming advantage.

Great with vinegar too.

Nah. I’ll die on that particular hill.

You forgot to end your sentence with ‘lol’. At least be consistent with your bad English.

That image is 100% the academic quadrangle at Simon Fraser University. Hah.

Just a small nit, I would say ‘much’ cheaper or ‘dramatically’ cheaper. Exponential refers to rate od change, not magnitude of change. Something increasing by 10% a year is exponentially increasing, something that’s just gotten bigger could be increasing linearly or not at all.

For clarity I use semi for 2x a period and bi for every two periods. I think everyone should. :)
