Panik: your Debian stable system is so ancient it still contains the heartbleed bug.

So can you answer his question or did you just see an opportunity to brag about yourself.

Looks to me like C++ was just given a mascot.

It is an obese, diseased rat named Keith.

Somebody should let Bjarne Stroustrup know.

It almost as if education and critical thinking about what one is reading is important.

That book can be read to children in the context of it being wrong. It can be explained to children why it is wrong and that just because they read something in a book doesn't mean it's right.

What's better, educating people to think critically, or banning things so they don't have to think at all?

I stopped reading after the third book too, and that's exactly the sense I got.

There's no conclusions, just character deaths. It's just an unraveling web that becomes less and less coherent the further it goes.

Caffeine is pretty well studied and it's known that the long term health effects are nothing close to cocaine. I doubt if there was any good science back then on the long term effects of cocaine, let alone enough education for the populace to know and understand it.

However social perceptions may change anyway. What we consider as not serious may be considered much more serious in the future. For example many people get headaches or even migraines as a withdrawal symptom of caffeine, and we don't consider a headache to be serious.

But I saw a Star Trek episode once where Picard gets a headache and it was a big deal because those had been solved for hundreds of years by that time! Turns out the ferengi were controlling his mind or something. So caffeine may be considered a serious drug in the future if it interferes with the detection of alien mind control devices.

There is, it's literally right there on the home page of the project. You can either copy a URL and download it by cloning the git repo, or you can download the whole project as a zip file. Then you just have to compile it!

GitHub is for developers, not end users.

So if I take a whole gram I can get 10000 times higher?

Once you have the model you should at least get a quote from a machine shop. 99% chance it's way too expensive, but you never know and quotes are free.

If we're redifining time, why do we have to keep the same unit size? Simply adjust the duration of a second to make exactly 100 ksecs per day.

Oh my go that's literally the point of my whole comment. You stated that EVs are a good solution. They are not a solution at all.

It's not a matter of perfect being the enemy of good, it's a matter of people mistakenly thinking that personal EVs are a solution. They are not a solution at all, they only serve as placebo to make people feel good while while continuing the same habits and relying on the same infrastructure that caused all this in the first place.

That was literally the point. Continuing with the same sprawling, oversized infrastructure built for personal, usually single-occupancy vehicles is not going to solve climate change. We are so far gone the only real, actual, solutions are in fact drastic, society changing measures. So your solution is for us to keep doing the same thing we already are but with 20% less pollution? While the earth is already past the 1.5C global warming mark? If that's your best solution then it's not a solution.

EVs are here to save the automobile, not the environment.

But it's not a good solution. In fact it's not a solution at all. EVs aren't going to save the environment, they're going to perpetuate our reliance on personal vehicles.

I have a lot of fallen trees on my property. Obviously I salvage what I can for firewood, but most of it is half rotten and not suitable for either firewood nor building.

I clean it up into piles in the fall and spring and burn it in the winter. And I made a hugelkultur mound that used some of it. But there's sooo much, and I'd rather do something better than just burn it.

Any ideas?
