Industrial scale power requires massive destruction of nature. That's the nature of trying to light and heat millions of homes, especially in the winter. The question must become what is the least harmful most effective thing to do. It isn't as simple as "solar farms and wind farms" since you have to heat and light those homes when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing. "Batteries!" Sure but the environmental devastation from having to build battery banks that large would be overwhelming, not to mention having to size your solar and wind to provide all the province's power while the sun shines and wind blows meaning there'd be way more than you expect, and then after 30 years you'd have to do it all over again because the batteries, windmills, and solar panels would all have to be replaced.

Water looks nice when it's at a scale that can't power anything too. In fact, even small enough scale fossil fuels don't look that bad. The problem is when you make it big enough to actually provide all the energy you need. One big reason why "reduce" is the most important thing we can do.

Glad to see a Black and white open source recreation, but you're correct in this regard. I have black and white on my PC right now in a dark corner.

It actually saved my life a few months back, I had a dying windows server I needed to resurrect and the tools on there were perfect for it.

Hirens boot cd is a great tool if you're working with windows. You are not always going to need it, but when you do need it it's awfully nice to have it.

Anyone who owned doom 1 and doom 2 got a new item in their steam or gog library with damn near everything included including stuff like sigil and a new episode they just made.

There's a new doom 2 RTX mod that clips into that version and it combines ray tracing with voxel art to give the most impressive raycast doom 2 I've imagined so far. Well worth a look especially since it's free for a lot of gamers.

I picked up an Amiga at a yard sale and found floppy disks on Amazon. I didn't bother buying any and instead bought a gotek floppy disk emulator.

One of the key bits of fermentation is that the conditions need to be pretty close to perfect for yeast to be a dominant Factor. You need to have a relatively sterile environment, you definitely need to make sure that there's nothing else competing, and you need to make sure that you're within certain factors of things like acidity. Stomach acid has a pH of 1-2, most brewable juices are closer to 3-4.

Some microbes do end up surviving the journey through your stomach, and they become the microbiome inside of you. I think that brewer's yeast would find that environment extremely challenging more than the stomach even because that microbiome is like skid row, filled with the dregs of the food you eat. The spoiled rich kid brewers yeast isn't going to thrive in that environment.

Consider a piece of advice from cider brewing: you are sometimes told if you don't have yeast to just juice the fruit without washing it and natural yeast on the fruit will grow in your cider and if you're successful it'll taste better than beer brewer's yeast. This shows that yeast is everywhere and it's on many things we might routinely eat and people aren't going around naturally drunk after eating an apple off a tree or some berries off a bush.

So I'm significantly ahead in the light novels and let me tell you something: He just parried an elder god to death, and he's still pretty oblivious. I haven't read the very very latest novel yet, but I'm sure he's not going to undergo any kind of major epiphany and become brilliant.

It's the core humorous concept of the series, that he's a strange person who has no sense of common sense.

Honestly, they probably should. It's.crazy all the privacy sites that seem to just hammer the pirate web manga sites.

Having a pair of default gateways could be an issue. On Windows (which I know, isn't the OS here), you have to be pretty careful because if you're straddling two networks, you need to pick one network to be the dominant one, that's the one whose default gateway will get packets heading onto outbound networks.

A relevant passage from The Graysonian Ethic: "In a lot of ways you do not realize, the human race is entirely defined by our biology. Many of your deepest-rooted fears and ambitions are written into your blood, in a library that was passed down by millions of generations of successful creatures going all the way back to the single celled organisms that first spawned within the primordial ooze."
