Stargazing and watching satellites in a very dark skies place, I noticed that some satellites zigzaged about, moving at right angles. I explain this by saccades of my eyes and the brain trying to work out the pattern based on a black featureless background.

Would make sense for the brain to estimate it as "flying bug" with erratic flight than very smoothly straight flying mechanical thing.

Assuming a value system in which certain acts are wrong even if not observed / punished, some acts can be rational _and_ malicious.

At this point, it is hard to defend ownership of a Ring camera. Using fear-mongering about package theft and suburban crime, a surveillance company has convinced countless homes to affix a surveillance network node that police departments and one of the world’s largest monopolies will use to their benefit. And now they want us to laugh about it all in our (ideally) Ring-surveilled homes.
Most of the replacements are probably no better than BPA - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0300483X1...

Due to our permission-first society, manufacturers can just replace BPA with a similar analogue, claim that it's BPA-free (which is technically true, but doesn't mention that the replacement is probably similarly problematic), and likely charge a premium for it.
Same. Also the problems I've encountered when one file tries to autosave, triggering a calculate before save, when I am actually working in something large that is calculation sensitive (manual calculation mode is on), and my whole application freezes/locks because it calculates when I'm not expecting it. Always happens 5 minutes before a deadline too. So yeah, disable that.

It's also a Workbook level setting so, you might have it turned off, but someone sends you a file with it enabled. For that reason, I have a macro that disables it at Open for all files (same for calculate before save, I really dislike that setting too).
Proton not being US based can ignore this stuff.
Ah! Right, yeah that unit is unfortunate.

After moving into a place where electricity is metered for the first time (beyond student living places where you just pay a flat rate as part of the rent), I started looking into what devices use how much. The '-hour' unit is so confusing, also when converting ordinary Watts to whatever-hours, you need to use a conversion factor of 60×60=3600 to get anywhere. Not intuitive at all. Had we just used Joules (kJ and MJ mainly, where 1 Joule = using 1 Watt for 1 second), then by using a 1 kW device (e.g. microwave) for 100 seconds you can instantly tell that 100 kJ is the amount of energy used. On a yearly a bill of 9'000 MJ, you can instantly grasp the relative size of 100 kJ = 0.1 MJ, maybe you do this daily so 365×0.1 = 36.5 MJ. I am terrible at mental math but this much I can do. Alas.

At least, that's how I think it all works, it's not like I ever got to practice this outside of Factorio (consumption/generation is all in Watts and storage in Joules).

A crucial part here is that you're interested in recoverable Uranium at a reasonable price level. Assuming < USD260/kg, you'll end up at ~8 million tonnes (depending on what other factors you account for): https://www.oecd-nea.org/upload/docs/application/pdf/2020-12...

And so the time estimate is similarly off. Uranium resources can power humanity's need for ~130, years, extending to 250 years if the entire conventional resource base is exploited. (pg. 113 in the report I linked). With large error margins for Uranium deposits not found yet, but not "factor of millions" error margins.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't invest into nuclear (we definitely should), but it does mean that it's not the panacea it's touted as either.

But the whole “clean eating” thing seems to vilify any kind of cooking fat, and guests often give me the “guess we’re not on a diet today”.

It's actually more about the lead paragraph, not the leading news story. If you bury the leading news story, that would imply putting it on page 13 or something.

Also, we’ve crashed numerous probes at the end of their lifecycle into many of the objects in our own Solar System.

The classics are so fun! I picked up a bit of a micro-hobby in rating my favorite ebook covers for classic texts. For example, Tor Classics' _The Invisible Man_ cover--I really like that one. Or Enriched Classics' The War of the Worlds cover, or the one by Usborne Young Reading.

Unfortunately it couldn't be more obvious that the distributors think readers don't GAF about covers beyond the shopping spree though, which is pretty frustrating when I want to stare at a nice cover and let the imagination soak it in for a while.

Good Q about the eReader. I was looking at picking up one of the randomly interesting ones that I saw on Aliexpress a while back, but got then sidetracked and ended up with an ODROID-Go Super. lol.

And then some publishers got into special hardcover editions, like Palladium Rifts Ultimate Hardcover Edition. But someday I'd like to get back on that ereader path. Doubt I would buy a Kindle though, personally. I did notice that the bundle sites and indie publishers are the go-to solutions for solving layout problems, since you get PDF, MOBI, EPUB, and sometimes other formats too.

Yes, and arxiv's editors apparently have no problem publishing lots of other papers that are at least as "out of mainstream" as these. So whatever criteria they are using don't appear to be being applied consistently.

MakeMKV will also read 4K Blu-Ray discs. You may not even need a proper 4K Blu-Ray drive, most BDXL capable drives can be made to work using some custom firmware provided by Mike (the developer of MakeMKV).

> punish the same people who paid for that ignorant course of several governments

I don't think this is about punishment, but rather that "Like with...renewables?" is not going to be ready in three months. They aren't even going to have the reactors ready that are already there. Requiring big users to take it down a notch might be the only way by which people get their basic needs fulfilled like transportation and heating living spaces to reasonable degrees. Personally I don't think we will 'eat the soup this hot' (things are probably not as bad as fear might make them seem now), but only time will tell for sure.
Reconstructing what the article appears to be saying:

1. a catalog of government sensor data on meteorite strikes was discovered

2. based on the data, those strikes that could have originate outside of the solar system were gathered

3. one hit in particular appears to be harder than iron based on its speed and loss

Then:

> Despite the government releasing limited data due to national security concerns - he had discovered something groundbreaking. A paper he wrote with his student laid out what he believed to be true. But three years after writing his findings, a major development confirmed what he knew all along.

Great, let's find that paper and see what's up. Wait, where's the link? No matter, just tell me the journal and I'll find it. Nope. Ah, that's right, this is the popular media where such things simply aren't done.

Usually it is installed by some “tech” at the dealer, installing on the OBD port is unusual as it is where people will look first, it can be installed anywhre there’s constant 12v power, newer trackers are very small (the size of a gum pack) and have their own battery. Tracking after the payment is done is not usual as the dealer has to pay a fee for the network but the tracker stays there and i guess it can be re-activated.
