It’s hard to break away. So many businesses and nonprofits using Google calendar, drive, and online apps like sheets.

All you need is energy. Now, where do we get energy for the chemical industry?

LOL.

They confirmed[0] that the Hubble Tension[1] is a valid discrepancy between the two different ways of measuring the expansion of the universe.

What could go wrong?

I'm wondering why they took the jump to human in vitro studies - did they do murine studies first?

Or your paper goes against the current paradigm or is otherwise politically unpalatable.

Groveling over a core dump from deep space! The old timers are in heaven.

Pshaw. Glenn Curtis went 136 mph in 1907 on what looks a lot like a big Schwinn bicycle with a V-8 of his own design.

There is no cure for COVID yet. There have been many studies of ivermectin, which won a Nobel prize for its usefulness in other human diseases. The results are mixed, but on average it is quite effective against COVID. Note that there is no one drug that cures AIDs, either, but a mixture of drugs is powerful. I think it will turn out the same with COVID.

It's standard for accounts that normally maintain a debit balance be on the left side, and accounts that maintain a credit balance be on the right.

So, the usual accounting equation is written:

assets = liabilities + capital

Yes, capital is similar to liabilities. It is owed to the investors (which may just be an individual).

The full equation prior to closing the books for a period is:

assets + expenses = liabilities + income + capital

For an individual, 'capital' is usually called 'net worth'.

Once the books close, (income - expenses) is moved to capital as 'retained earnings'.

In traditional, hand entered debit/credit accounting, the left hand side adds up to the same number as the right hand side. The books are balanced - the accounts on the left 'weigh' the same as the ones on the right.

In computerized accounting, the left hand side (debit) accounts are normally positive and the right hand side (credit) accounts are normally negative. There is no equation - all the accounts add up to zero, and every double entry transaction adds up to zero.

As an entry into what's going on currently, this blog by the Manyverse leader is useful:

He is pivoting into a new protocol which is intended to preserve the community aspect of SSB, while providing important factors, like the need to delete previous posts.

SSB was designed by an ocean sailor to be a social network that was infrequently synchronized and then only by local connection. The idea being, when sailors went ashore or rafted up for a gam to catch up on the scuttlebutt, they could synch their databases and have something to read on the next leg of their journey.

Blockchain tech was used to assure that messages created by others had not been altered in transit.

SSB ran into design limitations when the more recent developers tried to imitate something like Mastodon. It can work, but it's definitely idiosyncratic. It does tend to grow a large db, but space is rather cheap these days.

A cheap 45# plate with square edges lying flat on a concrete floor is quite challenging for ordinary (or older) mortals to pick up that first inch. So, please rack ‘em or at least leave them leaning.

You must have been pretty interesting!

Grok is pretty antagonistic in a jocular, condescending way.

It’s even more complicated. The charge on the electron is partially screened by virtual positive charges emerging briefly from the vacuum, so what we measure is less than the actual charge.

In other theories, volcanoes emit sulfurous material, which causes global cooling.

Then, there's the em dash

Article has no US prices. What is the current best price for uninstalled modules in the US at, say, a 7kW buy level?

So, what do you do between words?

Note: the ink doesn’t ”spill out”, if you cut the quill correctly, and it certainly doesn’t spill out of a metal nib.

Thanks. My problem is finding the specific podcast!

The particular podcast didn’t come across with that link. Can you provide the title or number? I’d like to listen to it! I reviewed a fair amount the podcast list, but didn’t find a match to your description.

If you use the iOS app for Bank of America, there's a "dispute this transaction" button for every charge. If you click on that, you'll be informed that your card will be cancelled immediately for your own protection, and a new one issued. When what I want is to charge back to a vendor who never shipped and won't refund when contacted. You have to get on the phone, wait for half an hour, and then be very nice about the whole thing, while trying to avoid a card replacement, which is easy and safe for them and very hard for you.

Which will probably be billed at $200, if my long experience with dermatologists is any guide.

So follow iFixit and replace the battery. It is just a few screws.

I have a 2011 Air that I resolved with an M1. I expect to put Linux on the 2011. Devuan and i3.

Medicare in the US doesn't cover hearing "devices" unless you need cochlear implants.

Most people have mild hearing loss. They shouldn't need to spend thousands for a pair of hearing aids, which deliver little relative to their price. Miniature electronics have improved markedly over the past couple of decades, but for some reason FDA approved hearing aids have not participated in those gains in usability and cost reduction.

I have AirPod Pros. Two generations of them.

In my experience, they are useless. Not only don't they amplify external sound, they provide no compression and insufficient treble boost. Meanwhile, my $400/pair aids work pretty well.

Apple has all the hardware and software to solve this. But they don't, for some reason.

Due to the pressure in the water being higher than in the center (the momentum of an individual molecule forces it outwards), a higher column of water is supported at the rim.

The speeds involved are not relativistic, so this isn't a matter of special or general relativity. Except, of course, one needs to explain the conservation of momentum relative to the universe. Noether said that's because space is isotropic.
