IIRC it takes about 30ish minutes for caffeine to "kick in". So if you have a bit, then take a nap, it can give you a nice 20ish minute power nap, then naturally wake you up so you don't feel groggy. The key is to be able to fall asleep quickly enough to have a decent power nap before it kicks in.

So we meet at diefenbunker.ca? Sounds like a plan! 🍁

Interesting that Canada wasn't included (at about 20%). Wonder how/why they picked those countries.

Thank you. Clear, easily understood explanations of questions I always wondered. πŸ‘πŸΌ

Whenever I see this image I always wonder 2 things:

  1. What makes hemoglobin more efficient?
  2. Why do we even need these fancy molecules to transport oxygen? Can't we produce some kind of biological ampule that holds some pure O2 for consumption by the various processes that need it? We have dedicated organelle structures for similar tasks (i.e. mitochondria)

Apparently it's not even really all that stable, so that whole container would rapidly decompose into probably carbon dioxide (CO2) and a bunch of pure carbon (think charcoal). At least that's my hunch. There is a Wikipedia article on the stuff, but it's pretty short, since it's a pretty unusual chemical (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicarbon_monoxide ).

CO2 is of course extremely common. I'd love to see what a chemist can describe about a bottle of C2O though!

I still use Ada daily for my personal projects after having used it at work. I find it compliments my thinking patterns well. My only gripe with it is that they ate too much of their own dog food at AdaCore and now it can be hard to install Ada and gprbuild (due to a circular dependency). Plus gprc stole libgpr and broke some stuff too.

That would be an excellent idea. But I feel like an even broader community should be created. Like a generic book club, but for code bases! Could even have a small handful of different code bases on the go at a time. I'd love to get to know lemmy's, but also e.g. neovim, or even unciv :)

Maybe one day it could even start tackling Moby Dick!

In case anyone wants the real meanings: I am not a lawyer, read the f***ing manual, bank of america.

I definitely have the soapy gene, but don't mind the taste. I blame thrills soap gum, I occasionally enjoyed that as a kid. My sister also has the gene and can’t stand the taste.

FYI: I'm starting with the outline of the left half of the leaf. I have to go to work soon, but hopefully there'll be enough outline for the rest to be filled in (just mirror it one pixel over).
