In the case of bats for me I think I feel the pulses of bats because it’s quite powerful, more than hear it. It’s probably undertone resonance or something.
I haven’t heard any for a while and my hearing is deteriorating but bat numbers collapsed and I haven’t seen them either.
Less bad is good, right?
Is it? If a serial rapist goes from 10 rapes a month to 5, have they done a good thing?
(and obviously, driving a car is not comparable to rape - just illustrating that less of a bad thing is not a good thing)
That’s less bad, that’s not fixing anything. There is no universe when using energy to move 1.5-3 tonne private vehicles around for transportation is sustainable. I’ve heard numbers typically in the 40-60% region for the lifetime energy use of electric vs ICE. That is not fixing any problem, that’s making the problem worse less quickly.
You think electric cars are some sort of solution? They are part of the problem, not the solution. Making things worse but not quite as quickly is not making things better.
Truth is we could never stop it without radical global abolition of high energy activities. That’s impossible given the short term gains of breaking ranks and the unpopularity of that level of denial. We didn’t have to destroy ourselves as quickly, but the path was set when we had the industrial revolution.
Meshtastic is fully dominant in user numbers, but is fundamentally broken by design for what most people actually want to use it for, which is a distributed zero infrastructure communication network. As soon as numbers rise it is crushed by the weight of its own administrative traffic. Also, it’s way too easy to set nodes up as ROUTER nodes, which crushes the mesh and swallows traffic ironically.
Linux does use Python syntax… in Python.
In Bash though, it uses Bash syntax.
I remember it as just beer and cider, with the addition of blackcurrant making it a Purple Nasty, and all sorts of tales of how they allegedly reacted to make a vicious drink more than the sun of the parts that I am sure was fiction.
And for Americans, this means alcoholic ciders, since they also call raw apple juice cider, and most Americans have no idea what a blackcurrant is (a delicious intense berry that was illegal to cultivate in the US for a lot of the recent past).
Also depends on your variant of English, because North American Biscuits are very different from the rest of the anglophone world’s biscuits. Many of them are unleavened, just as most gods don’t have a strong position on whether you should use leavening at any time of the year, let alone now.

Windows will never come close to replacing Linux! There’s way more Linux out there than there is Windows.
Presumably you mean on the personal desktop. In which case I still disagree in the very long term. I think at some point Windows will be replaced by *nix based systems in the vein of OSX and Chrome OS.
Wow. .08 is ridiculously lax IMO. I agree punishments should scale by inebriation level but I never expected people to think .08 was too strict.
Coupling is a fucking gem. I’ve still never been able to bring myself to watch the final season that has no Geoff though.
ironically, I think whining about anticipated downvotes for expressing the most mainstream sentiment is worthy of downvotes
But then you have to eat Tillamook cheese… I has no idea cheese could be so bland before I moved to the NW USA. And orange, for some reason.
I thought it was stating that something is God’s will for your own purposes. AFAIK it’s not just using terms for God as a curse.
Figuratively, Street kids do tend to be.
And it’s Wednesday, so it’s Bismuth Time
Chips every day!
I use it all the time for the variable brightness flashlight and screen-as-light-source. Also sun and moon info, asteroid alerts.
And there’s a bunch of stuff that’s potentially very useful. Making a live map from a map image sounds very interesting, e.g. with a historical map.
