Oh I understood. I agree with you.
I would argue that something that was once available at home that is then restricted to a single place that must be shared with lots of people isn’t freely accessible.
My local library is within walking distance, but it’s pretty small. The Internet is free but not awesome in terms of speed.
If it’s only available at one place, it’s not freely accessible.
Logistically, how would that work? Libraries would have to be everywhere and they’d have to be massive. The IT infrastructure to support that would be immense. How would privacy work? Where could I go to have a private telehealth appointment, for example?
The article says that we can distinguish 2 different smells that appear 60 milliseconds apart.
For those wondering, the Marburg virus has similar symptoms as Ebola.
You called?
And Rankine would be even better than Kelvin in terms of “big number go brrr.” Water boils at 671 R.
Of course, Rankine is the most obnoxious unit I’ve ever had to deal with, but those numbers sure are big!
The only good thing about Fahrenheit is that 69 degrees (20.5 C) is a nice temperature.
Ah! Thank you for the explanation
If Tesla’s stock crashes, then the value the banks could get from selling it is much lower.
If Twitter and Tesla go bankrupt, the banks will have loaned out billions to own something worthless.
At least I would assume that’s how it works.
The Elephant getting drunk bit is a bit sus
They’d have to eat a massive amount to get drunk.
One of my professors wrote the textbook we were using. Before the first day of class, he sent out a greeting email. Attached to that email was a .PDF of the textbook. Hell yeah.
Ground control noticed helium leaks and the spacecraft had a cluster of thrusters fail. That’s not almost dying in a horrific way.
Wensleydale?
The Ghost of the Kamchatka is never far away!
I feel gross agreeing with Rand fucking Paul about something.
Buddy, I just shit your pants.
The last outbreak was not contained. Prior to 2022, there was no sustained transmission outside of central Africa. The 2022 outbreak saw significant transmission all over the world. There were 30,000 confirmed cases and 42 deaths in the US alone.
Just because something isn’t extremely contagious right now doesn’t mean it can’t become a pandemic. A virus can will mutate, it can go unnoticed, etc. As it stands, mpox can be transmitted by respiratory droplets.
Smallpox was a related virus. It too was transmissible through close contact with other people. It killed 300 million people in the 20th century. While vaccination is likely going to prevent mpox from becoming anywhere close to that deadly, I’d rather not play with fire. Don’t ignore a nasty virus.
“Caaaarl! That kills people!”
Good to know, thank you! I’ll have to look closer when I visit a forum next.
Why would the WGBH logo give people nightmares? That thing was my childhood. We lived off of PBS shows. Arthur, Zoom, Between the Lions, NOVA, Frontline, Masterpiece, etc.
