I'm writing my book in Markdown files in IntelliJ and pushing it to GitHub. Use the tools you know.

The star is occulted by a small asteroid in our solar system. For something in the Betelgeuse system to occult the star, it would have to be about the same size as the star.

We detect the presence of planets in other systems when they pass between us and the star, marginally decreasing the brightness.

Black Mirror is a scifi anthology show and season 1 episode 1 is an extremely off putting and non representative episode where a politician is blackmailed into live streaming themselves fucking a pig. The show was later acquired by Netflix and it is in their best interest to make sure that isn't the first episode of the show people see.

I live in a one car household and it's been perfectly fine, including our yearly roadtrip driving up and around places like Banff in Canada and down the coast to San Francisco. And that's not a Tesla either, it's just with a cheap Chevy Bolt I got for 25k.

Is the /s because that's literally what they're already doing?

I do all my large code reviews in IntelliJ. Seems like it's an exact match of what this guy wants? Diff view + full view + fully featured IDE for all his navigation, verification and search needs

Nowhere in the world has UBI.

The Scandinavian social safety net is excellent and I think the positive effects of that are apparent. People can take larger risks than they can in the US, but still nowhere near as large as they could with UBI

I heard that a Danish horse forum makes up about 20% of available training data for that language

I type in a 2FA code a few times a day and that's enough to justify it for me. Really hate typing in numbers without one

Why haven't places updated already? It's not that much work to update. Where I work we always go to the new LTS version as soon as it's supported by gradle.

Doesn't cross anyone's mind to _not_ upgrade.

Microplastics are, quite literally, everywhere. Are you on Earth? Congrats, you are eating, breathing, and drinking microplastics.

They've been leeching into the environment for so long that you are no longer just concerned about primary sources contaminating your air, food, and water.

It's homogenized, from the deepest parts of the ocean to the tops of the highest mountains, there are microplastics. It's completely penetrated the food cycle.

If you want to avoid drinking microplastics, you'll have to explicitly remove it from your water.

If you want to avoid eating microplastics... I guess grow your own food in a hermetically sealed bubble and water it with your filtered water.

I think if they say anything, it rings and shows a transcript of what they said. At least, that's what happened the few times I've received a legitimate call from an unknown number (think calls like a contractor or a doctor's office).
