As of today at least, I can still download video/audio from YT on my android phone with NewPipe…

I used to see swarms of grasshoppers every summer as a kid (80s), now a single one is a rare sight.

Great idea! Float out some ‘life rafts’ for the critters to gather on first, then tow them to shore before sending the workers in.

Why don’t they put sone long planks leading up and out of the bog for a day or so before the harvesters go in? Give the spiders a time window to migrate to the shore…

Related, but kale blooms look similar and I like the florets a lot in pasta (esp. mac & cheese).

I was on a project where a co-worker left and his son was onboarded a few years later; he seemed much more chill than I when we were both working on an issue and it dawned on me that he was literally fixing (well, not really a defect just an update) his Dad’s code. Heh.

Ironically, ionized particles tend to stick together (trying to become neutrally-charged) whereas unionized particles tend not to interact as strongly; so a group of chemists ‘binding’ together to form a union would actually be ‘ionized’ not ‘unionized’ … metaphorically :p

It’s Tuesday, did you bring your raincoat?

Palantir, which the US gov is now (let’s not kid ourselves, has been for some time illegally) contracting, probably already has your face either from street cams, security cams in various company buildings, or from social media at this point, so letting you ‘opt out’ is probably just theatre to avoid angering people at airports.

C# development was spearheaded by Anders Hjelsberg, one of the brains behind Borland Delphi/Object Pascal.

None More Black, Hotblack Desiato’s preferred fowl.

Bedeviled NXP/ARM SDK stdlib. Hate it, we need \n\r there. Why!!! What a PITA.

Madagascar’s always the hardest to wipe out in that Pandemic game, if that helps :P

If you go to New Zealand, you’ll have to deal with the shithead billionaires there who will have moved there a few days ahead of you, (since they’ll get extra warning of course), who will have moved already into the fortress-bunkers they’ve been making for a decade or so there.

It should be a life mission of anyone in New Zealand, when the time comes, to find out where their air systems reach the surface and throw a few grenades down the ducts. For the good of humanity (whatever’s left).

So he’s wearing a … Hazmaths Suit?

I don’t know, I wasn’t expecting some kind of Spanish Inquisition.

I had not heard of Jackett and to be honest haven’t really looked into aggregators. Will look into it, thank you.

1337x.to has good torrents/magnets in my experience, but def. use ad blocking. On mobile clicking almost anything tries to redirect or pop something up.

Ah! Thanks for the clarification. I should’ve done a side-search to check before posting.

Hmm, wikipedia says… “… Instead of generating food using the energy from sunlight, it is parasitic, and more specifically a mycoheterotroph” though.
