Some deep thoughts for the hot summer daze: when I saw the bartender waste several ounces of very good pale ale (because of long tap lines) it jogged memories of the 80s canadian film Strange Brew.

The somewhat dated article linked is about a potential trend in both canine and feline non-alcoholic treats that simulate alcoholic beverages (since alcohol can be harmful to any pets---some claim, even in minute doses).

For cat equivalents there are products such as:

--catnip-flavored Mëow & Chandon

--Purrgundy wines

--The Catbernet, The Meowmosa, The CharDOGnay

--Nyan Nyan Nouveau

It must be cautioned to dog-cat households that grape derived pet beverages are very dangerous to dogs (as grapes are toxic to dogs---and newer studies claim some level of toxicity for cats as well); the informative article below has much more details on safety aspect of these bevs:

thanks for that detailed bit of eccentric 80s history! Yup it was the C128 I was thinking of but I incorrectly thought it had an x86-predecessor instead of the Z80. The C128 has it all, including good looks.

800 and even the 400 were mighty expensive. They arrived slightly before 1980 and this was the very start of the home computer era. The price was sky high, and it took a few years for the XL and the price wars with Commodore to make home computing truly affordable for the masses.

The Polish continued to buy 8-bit XE's when the rest of the first world was moving to 16-bit in the early 90s (68000, 286). They weren't missing out on much in my opinion; I think 16-bit for both computing and consoles didn't add much. Once the 386sx arrived it made the PC truly affordable and capable; the software system was still 16-bit DOS/Win3, and these PC's were ready and waiting for 32-bit software, which with the birth of Linux and BSD catapulted the PC into the true computing age.

I think cc65 is a popular C cross compiler for 6502.

Maybe Mad Pascal translates Pascal to C, then uses cc65??

i think commodore might have released a dual socket 6502 + 8086 system, so that it could run CP/M. A z80+6502 dual processor hybrid would also pretty interesting. Link would be nice if you know any more information.

An impressive compiler project which is used for retro title releases such as Star Vagrant and Block Attack.

If people help spread the red hate we'll be at 4% in a few years.

Now I wonder if notebooks are counted in "desktop PC category" assuming they are x86 notebooks (x86 ~ PC).

Since the Kiev regime (whose SBU is tightly interconnected with the Azov nationalists) directly funds and provides with weaponry such as 152/155mm artillery and shells (including cluster munitions) to their organized right wing nationalist groups who persistently conduct warcrime after warcrime for the regime, they lost any legitimate claim to the Donbass. The Azovs have shelled civilans in Dontesk for now nearly a decade and on a daily to weekly basis.

Imagine if China funded and armed right wing nationalist groups, who build forts on artificial islands near Taiwan and shelled Taipei weekly for nine years straight to "punish" seperatist citizens of the Repubic of China.

If that happened, you can be pretty sure China would loose any legitimate claim to Taiwan that it once had.

Affects newer Linux 6 kernels. Linux 5 and under okay afaik.

see bookofjoe's comment. I didn't find the article terribly informative. In fact, it didn't really have much information other than that alc may increase heart rate and tends to dehydrate, and to make sure to drink enough water.

As far as non-dangerous exercise, such as gym cycling stations, or a Bar-group-pedal-cycle guided exercise event, I think there's a possibility that drinking and exercising might just possibly have health benefits--pure speculation though; it would be interesting to test and do studies on this topic.

Thank you for this, which is in the same direction as what most parents feel, of those men on both sides that have been forced to take part in this fighting.

The lyrics of this SE Slavic folk song is the theme of the perspective of that parent (clicking on 'more' expands to the lyrics)

I also hope this conflict comes to an end as soon as possible with least amount of destruction and tragedy for these families, and their generations to come that must live on this land.

I think this along with what pfannkuchen suggested both may contribute to this unexpected result. In addition, instant coffee tends to be made from much lower quality beans; lower quality beans tend to be used in darker roasts and seem like they would have higher acrylamide content. In addition, the additional heating step the instant coffee goes through might also further elevate acrylamide.

I think it would be useful to test and compare amount of acrylamide in instant coffee versus the typical medium roast coffees, in addition to seeing whether this substance affects telomeres.

The Khmelnytskyi Mother's day weekend event that happened in the early hours of dawn, for anyone not closely following this.

Thank you for this update on the situation our world finds itself in.

For anyone with a sense of honesty we all are consciously (and for a few, subconsciously) aware the Syria-style false op being conducted by the kleptocrat backed regime because their counteroffensive has been an unmitigated disaster (19,500 troop losses, 1,400 losses in equipment, and 88 ammunition depots) after genociding about a third of a million of their own men, please take a moment this week to reflect and ask yourself whether you are truly on the side of Good, or whether you have been mislead by the side of Evil, or whether you more side with the latter. For some this is actually really not a simple and trivial matter (tens of million$ worth of conditioning and the amount of psychological operations that have been ongoing since at least 2013).

On a more positive note, at least after the shutdown of normally open public radiological data sources in Poland following the detonation Sunak's DU into the troposhere, we seem to be heading back towards supporting open data. Hopefully mass spectrometry chemical element and isotope data will also be open for the public.

thank Justin Trudeau and the puppets of Klaus Schwab for this post north yankton era we now find ourselves in. Do what's most important Justinj, send more weapons to destroy Europe and fuel the Slavic genocide.

Interesting, I'd never been aware of this topic, which seems to underlie the UNC profs conclusion:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_information_paradox

Clicking through the relevant wiki reference: "How do black holes destroy information and why is that a problem?" https://backreaction.blogspot.com/2019/08/how-do-black-holes...

A few parent rocks do contain high concentrations of U, in particular black shale and phosphate rocks (3-1250ppm and 50-300 ppm respectively), and these parent rocks over geological time weather it into the soils of the land.[table 1] As far as typical soils of the relevant European region the concentrations are usually in the 2ppm - 3 ppm region. You can see this in table 3 of "Dokuchaev Soil Bulletin: Review on uranium in soil: levels, migration" https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/526c/d0b116c0b87287493607ee...

Rockier regions of EU tend to be on the higher side, almost 3ppm, while lands flatter rolling hills tend to be near or below 2 ppm.

Quoting from table 3:

Lithuania 1.3ppm Russia 1.5ppm Poland 2.1ppm Hungary 2.3ppm

By your logic of solution by dilution we should forget about safely storing highly concentrated waste such as DU and just spread it around evenly through the globe?

DU is a waste product of Uranium mining and fuel production and the industry we've based world peace on, MAD, (since it is the only known model of balance so far). It has no place being used in a conflict zone where it will not only be dispersed from its containment, but be distributed in varying concentration in an uncontrollable unpredictable way. This substance belongs in safe depositories.

Now as far as cigarette butts, my take is that I don't like it, but that is just one slice of a much vaster pie that is plastic pollution. Here environmental damage is caused more by surface area than volume or weight.

As far as ecological damage, how does that compare to Sunak's catastrophe of spreading Uranium (DU dust) over vast areas of Poland and western Ukraine?

and then it is ruined by javascript / pdfjs

does ascii have one of the bits reserved for parity check? This part confuses me:

"Each ASCII character is 8 bits wide, or one byte. The result of this means that if each bit is either a 1 or a 0 that there are only 128 possible combinations of ASCII characters."

If all 8 bits are used for data there should be 255 possible combinations.

It is a chimeric variant of SARS.

Well before the discovery and IDing in Wuhan this new SARS variant was detected in various other locations as early as March 2019 (Barcelona sewer sample), patient medical samples in various Italian cities in late 2019.

S1 spike segment was also found in various Boston, MA medical samples, as well as antibodies in blood samples, suggesting presence of this new SARS2 in Boston in early October 2019.

I believe Marseilles France also detected the new SARS in sewer sample in the fall or summer of 2019, though I cannot find the link.

I guess that's another idea.

I think in the next ten years any manned facilities farther than the moon are less likely.
