It's interesting to see how much nixos grew over the last 2 years, even though the distribution exists since 2003.

The Roquefort (French blue cheese) is made from the mold that grows on rye bread.

So even the moldy bread, in the right condition, can become a delicacy.

Reintroducing mammoths in the arctic could potentially help reduce the climate change.

There is a scientist in Siberia who built the Pleistocene Park. An area where he reintroduced a lot of large herbivores and studied their impact. He's saying that boreal forest have a very low biodiversity compared to mammoth steppes. The steppes have way more animals, are stocking way more carbon in the soil and prevent methane leaks by keeping the permafrost frozen due to the low albedo of the biome.

The problem is that with the mammoths are indispensable to maintain the steppes. They are the only animal big enough to clear up trees, without them the forest is taking over and all the ecosystem of the steppes disappear.

So (according to this scientist), resurrecting the mammoth could revive a whole ecosystem, with a very rich biodiversity and that could have a give impact on the climate.

This one looked great!

From what I'm reading the Chevy bolt does not have a heat pump and it seems that most of your commute is just standing still in traffic.

In these conditions it makes sense that range goes down in winter but for longer drive with a more recent EV it's not really an issue anymore.

I barely noticed any difference in range in winter compared to summer with my EV. I have to admit though that winters are quite mild here.

One thing to know is that in France the police are using tear gas grenades but also "sting ball grenades" (Grenade de désencerclement). These grenades are explosive grenades with hard rubber balls in it.

They can kill you, cause serious injuries and will blow off you hand of you grab them.

This is why grabbing a grenade can be extremely dangerous and using tennis racquets is a way to mitigate a bit these risks.

I know it's not really a truck, it's a preorder and limited to 80km/h but I love the look of this thing and it cost 10800€

I have no doubt that if Europe is threatened they can seriously ramp up the production of military equipment.

I don't have experience with ammunition or things like that but I know for example that a lot of parts for airplane engines are manufactured in factory where both military and civilian parts are produced.

Meaning that if you delay or lower the production of civilian parts you have a lot of extra manufacturing capabilities available immediately for these parts.

Then you can start covering factories, this takes longer ,even during war time, but having a big automobile and aerospace industry means that there are industrial capabilities to mass manufacture equipment that could be used for military purposes.

Yes, a few years ago when I was manufacturing aircraft engines (the LEAP specifically) we had three variants of the same engine.

A, B and C for the Airbus A320 neo, Boeing 737 Max and Comac c919.

I would imagine they use the microphone, accelerometer, some processing power and internet connectivity (WiFi or mobile).

Trying to set up a dedicated hardware with ask that would cost way more than just buying a bunch of pixel phone.

Same for the software, on a smartphone you can just create an app that will record and process all the information vs creating a custom firmware on a custom hardware.

I guess there is also the availability of the technicians.

Finding someone to develop and maintain an android app is much easier than finding someone to maintain a custom hardware/firmware.

I don't think I ever saw any star trek but seeing a picture of him without pointy ears feels weird
