More greenwashing propaganda from the plastics manufacturers. Burning plastic to make plastic precursor chemicals makes no economic or environmental sense.

The whole frozen OJ industry was based out of Florida, which has suffered a 90% decline in production, thanks to citrus greening disease.

The re-releases sometimes come with improvements, such as the ability to save mid-game, or networked multiplayer, that would have been impossible with the original release, e.g. a standup arcade game.

If it’s not cryptocurrenvy miners creating shortages of GPUs, it’s something else blocking me from bulidng my next gaming rig.

It doesn’t look like this was ever published as an ebook.

It does have an audio book version, if you want it in a format without a physical shipment.

Unfortunately, I can’t find the audio book version in my local library’s association with Hoopla.

My usual searches have failed to dig up a free version of the audiobook.

…scientists still don’t understand how life evolved from its very origins to the early communities of which LUCA is a part.

Failure of alien biocontainment systems. Or maybe deliberate life seeding. Or hitchhiking enclosed ecosystem, like a biosphere, on a meteorite.

A wonderful collection of strange studies, as usual.

The zebra stripes on cows thing could be very useful!

Teflon pans have less of my food stuck to them, and therefore increase my caloric intake. I blame Teflon for my being overweight.

Getting academic research funds to learn how to make better pasta sauce sounds like a dream!

An anti-smell shoe rack does have commercial potential!

Drunk bats don’t navigate or fly as well as sober bats. Duh.

Telling people they’re more intelligent than average makes them think they’re more intelligent than average. Remember that when speaking to your kids and family.

Rats preferred cheese-only pizzas. That actually surprised me that they wouldn’t go for more protein with the meat pizzas.

Babies preferred garlic-flavored breast milk. Well, the dairy industry should take note of that…

Fingernail growth charted against age. That actually is interesting, although a sample of one. Need more data points.

Maybe Dutch just sounds like drunk German.

Good thinking!

Microprose MTG came out in 1997, one year after Pokemon in 1996, but that was in Japan as Pokemon Red/Green.

Pokemon Red/Blue was released in the US in 1998.

So in the US technically, Microprose published first.

I have no idea who owns Microprose’s IP these days.

The trick is collecting clean polystyrene foam.

You can’t throw it into a mixed recycling bin because it crumbles and contaminates the other materials.

We have a polystyrene recycling system here in San Francisco, CA, the only one in the US I’m told, but we have to separate the polystyrene foam and bring it to the dump.

It’s free for SF residents.

Yeah, it’s a muddled headline.

Good article though.

JD helps you manage slow free downloads, not have to wade through all those popups and misleading links to get through the actual download process.

If you actually have a paid user ID at the host, it can handle that too.

Try JDownloader 2.

Most countries have some kind of internet restrictions.

You can look yours up, in case you’re trying to visit torrent sites while in Denmark, for example.

It’s really frustrating to search for old hard-to-find videos, at long last find some forum post with a DDL link, then find out that the DDL was deleted by the host due to inactivity.

It’s a subtle distinction.

High temperature/energy leads to entropy/liquification, but I think what this experiment demonstrated is there’s a short delay or “entropy build up curve” between high amounts of energy and the “transmission” of entropy through the solid molecular structure to a liquid state.

I’m not sure if I’m wording all this correctly.

They didn’t say anything about cooling the gold film.

They measured it lasted as solid at a certain temperature for a certain length of time after it had reached that temperature.

I’m sure it eventually melted, but the question was how long it stayed solid after being superheated past previously theoretical limits.

Nothing is wrong with archive.ph , but it’s good to have a backup in case it goes down, or if it starts failing for some reason.

Every Google account comes with 15GB of free storage.

Make as many Google accounts as you need.

Store files in Google Drive up to the limit for each account, then add links to the other GDrive archives.

Organize the files as needed.

Maybe make a free web page in Wix, Wordpress, or whatever with links to the files easy to search and find.

Pass the userid and passwords to the GDrive and webpages to whomever wants to be your successor.

You will be dependent on the generosity of Google, Wix, Wordpress or whatever to not cleanup the webpages and files due to inactivity.

So keep a backup. Torrents can be messy because they can be broken if there are no seeders.

If the content is static, then I’d recommend some older P2P filesharing like eD2K to keep one big zip/rar file backup shared among peers.

…until someone figures out what’s wrong with it…
