I started with Raspberry Pi and Arduino for a scientific project that later became a published paper. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0278752

Now I have a couple Pis and ESP32s around the house doing all sorts of jobs, and am managing Docker-hosted shiny dashboards at work

I’ve tried a couple of them and while they didn’t taste bad to me, they definitely weren’t coffee and I didn’t have any urge to seek them out again. I was amused by James Hoffman trying a bunch of them though!

I do like chicory though, as a big fan of bitter.

A lot of reforestation started across Europe in the 60s (this is not EU but still fits the pattern)

I did once, it was otherworldly!

This will not stop until the ultra-rich are destroyed as a class. They have constructed a parallel economy, and we are all their serfs. History shows this situation can’t last and the question is whether they can be parted with their wealth peacefully or not

Because potato chips are generally water-free from the bag and rich in oil, they make for a decent firestarter!

It’s just a bad fuel in every way. This administration is trying to coerce us to use it

Yes, McConnell was a big factor, but Democrats went along with him, and that was probably NIMBY-related https://www.npr.org/2009/05/20/104334339/democrats-block-funding-to-close-guantanamo

WELNA: Like Majority Leader Reid, Indiana Democrat Evan Bayh is up for reelection next year. He, too, opposes sending Guantanamo detainees to the U.S.

EVAN BAYH: We have a supermax facility in Terre Haute, Indiana. I don’t think the citizens of my state would look too kindly on having those folks housed in our state.

It would be nice if they change the Office app back to its old name, rather than M365 Copilot or whatever insane nonsense they picked. They should also review their corporate culture, and how the way they set performance rewards leads to insane unintended consequences across the company.

Radium Girls and Radium Jaw are linked in ‘See Also’, because when the first cases of radium-related necrosis were appearing in women working with radium watch dials, doctors spent years searching for a source of phosphorus at the factories. The symptoms were very similar and the mechanism of toxicity of radium was not yet understood.

I took the same thing from this article as you. This is part of why Guantanamo Bay never closed; there was no place where the detainees’ presence was tolerated. People don’t want the object of their fear in their backyard. They want it as far away as possible. This is also why the six extermination camps like Auschwitz were not on German soil. Not in Germans’ backyard.

Searxng is fun for self hosted metasearch but has sadly been having trouble with Google lately

It’s handy to share media with my family! The Roku app works OK

Eh in my pretty touristy hotel I was not able to use Google or Meta sites on wifi. But I was surprised vpn worked and allowed me to access anything I wanted over wifi. I had prepared with shadowsocks configured as a contingency but didn’t end up needing it. But people visiting a year earlier had reported vpn did not work for them.

They can’t put the genie back in the bottle. Everyday Iranians know what the world outside is like. They can’t suddenly become a black box like North Korea. But maybe a few decades of murdering protesters, like mowing the grass, will allow them to limp along in the East German model. Where people know what is available outside but are too afraid and demoralized to make an organized resistance

China seems to vary. When I was there, VPNs worked, even Meta and Google sites were accessible on my T-mobile SIM. Other times those things are not accessible

Cs-137 is helpful in a way in producing a pretty distinctive gamma signature. What’s scarier to me are all the more subtle adulterants that have come and gone through the global food supply, never detected, that have damaged the genes of millions of people

They are also delicious
