You can eat the skin


it makes a good vegan pulled pork base (lots of recipes online).

I split mine in two. It's easy but makes you look like a badass. A banana splitting badass.

Take numbers with a grain of salt, e.g., this link says a 7200RPM 160GB SATA drive from 2004 is $107, or about $0.67/GB, instead of the $5 claimed in post.

Not at all in this case though! Or rather, it depends on your perspective.

"Why doesn't electricity leak out the outlet?" is a good question, if you know nothing about electricity.

"Why doesn't electricity leak out the outlet?" is a little stupid, if you know a little about electricity.

"Why doesn't electricity leak out the outlet?" is a great question if you know a bit more about electricity (because it does leak out, it's just that 50/60Hz doesn't couple to freespace well unless you have a colossal antenna).

As to this question, light in moving media: https://preprints.opticaopen.org/articles/preprint/Fizeau_Experiment_Investigating_the_Speed_of_Light_in_Moving_Media/25441108?file=45147313

It's a matter of perspective and use


high density one place means you can have open space somewhere else, for a given amount of land.

I'd much prefer a few large dense housing complexes, surrounded by green space, than suburban sprawl.

50kW class laser.

Another source claims 1um wavelength with individual 1.5kW lasers in a hex pattern


unclear if it's a phased array (would be awesome) or just trained on the same target (source mentions they are "combined using a mirror" so probably the latter).

Sounds like maybe high power YAG?

It's maybe not that bad for a "normal" person, but Bill Nye was a real hero to a lot of young folks, be they aspiring STEM types, science enthusiasts, or just curious people. So to see him sell out


abandoning scientific integrity for a quick buck


was pretty disheartening.

You can!

Getting it published is another matter though...

Immich looks particularly good to me.

It is! Been running it for a few years now and I love it.

The local ML and face detection are awesome, and not too resource intensive


i think it took less than a day to go through maybe 20k+ photos and 1k+ videos, and that was on an N100 NUC (16GB).

Works seamlessly across my iPhone, my android, and desktop.

...using chopsticks of course, so you don't get your mechanical keyboard dirty.

Maybe they mean four year uptime...
