LMDE, Linux Mint Debian Edition was my goto for a long time.

First, I don't think this was instantaneous. Depends on how high the voltage was.

Regardless of that, I wanted to point out that I once had a third-degree burn next to my ankle made by the escape pipe from a motorbike. It barely hurt at all, and it smelled like steaks. Thing is, the nerve terminals burn, and so you don't feel any pain. But it was ugly, following days I had to keep it clean... And the mark lasted a few years.

Use pipx or uv --run

I'm fine with only usb-c (I have never required charging while listening music). What I lack is a nice HiFi pair of wired headphones that go directly, without any adapter.. And Bluetooth is not reliable, apparently, for HiFi audio..

Perhaps, to expand a little bit. We can measure energy on different units, and I don't know how to draw the comparison, but can imagine something (e.g. 1 gram of coal produces N Joules). Then it's easy to see how the same amount of Uranium could produce M Joules.

But waste... Is it CO2 ? Or H3O ?

Huh? I actually felt the whole post was wrong. They measure "waste" without units. That's wild, like saying that feathers are million times more heavy than iron. It can be true, sure.

That's probably left to the clients...

Only because Ganesha lost the fight to conquer the western faith. But hey, it got the asians with far more carefulness to the temples!

I played that on a LOTR-themed felucca-only shard, and hosted a runUO server myself for friends later when no one was playing it anymore. Great memories, I kind of enjoyed the "blue vs. red" factions of the early game, like 1999.

With or without the robot? FWIW Beastie Boys already defeated the Backstreet Boys on February 4, 1999...

The fact that black goo "eats" other life to "grow" implies that this Engineer on, according to the article, ancient planet Earth wasn't just planting life. Also, there was almost no lava on Earth so it would be some recent geological time. I can only accept that he was planting human-like Intelligent life, perhaps our species itself. I liked it because it seemed to align with creationist myth and that's a huge cultural mashup to me.

Anyway, I tend to overthink...

There's another 'fact' taken for granted by this article that I can't quite follow. They say the Engineer was acting on its own and this was a negative behavior in their species, a bit of a paria. What sustains such claim?

PS. I only saw Aliens (1986) and Prometheus. Not a fan of horror, but SciFi.
