And mushrooms.


I think much of the sea is there because of massive nuclear war millions of years ago which created enormous craters that the water just seeped into and filled up.

I mean, I never thought of it prior to today. But why not.


Joke? Or where'd the water have come from?


Vast lakes, smaller rivers, puddles, you know?


> Vast lakes, smaller rivers, puddles, you know?

The same volume of water was just…higher?


Notably, that is how melting glaciers raise sea levels.


So where'd the original glacier ice come from? :-) Earth has 1.386 billion cubic km (333 million cubic miles) of water. Lot of glaciers, that.


Not proposing it ever actually happened, but one hypothesis [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowball_Earth].

Personally, I’m of the ‘shits whack yo’ school of geohistorical projections. So got me. I’m still pondering what weird confluence of events could cause Salt Domes combined with massive oil and natural gas deposits like in the Gulf of Mexico.

Chicxulub?

Something else?

One thing is for sure, the more you understand and analyze the geological record, the more the doomsday preppers seem like insane optimists!


That's still not really a hypothesis that connects to TFA as we're still basically proposing "well, the water just flowed down from higher up!" Put it this way, Snowball Earth is not itself a hypothesis for where'd the snow come from to make the snowball.

Also doomsday preppers live on the scale of a human lifetime -- you do agree that geological events don't really factor in?


Original water came from comets, and the protoplantary nebula. Notably, as ‘high up’ as it’s possible to get eh? And frozen.

And doomsday preppers are a personality type visible across all civilizations in some form - due to humanities evolved genetic heritage.

Just like every other type.


If earth were a smooth sphere, the water would be about 2500m deep.

You can't get that amount of water from lakes, rivers and puddles.

If you want to less of earth by water (than the oceans cover today), you need those parts to be covered in deeper water (on average) than the oceans are today.


I followed tutorials to remove the search using the internet.

Three days later the computer rebooted and had undone all my fixes and now search was back to using the web!

Definitely never felt like MY system. It feels like a creepy corporation changing my settings. Which is exactly what it does.

Another three days later, Recall was announced.

Three days later, I wiped Windows from all my computers.

All going well for me, I love Pop!_OS


Way too Black Mirror for me.

You wouldn’t know what they were doing with ‘you’. That is kind of creepy. God, they could be putting ‘you’ into a sex doll and trying to have a piece of your personality in there.

Is that what you want?


Maybe your relative/friend wants to continue to receive your advice after you die?


But it wouldn’t be mine. It would be a guess. If you asked my opinion on something today, it might not be the same opinion I give tomorrow.


If it truly was yours, it would say "stop this shit; delete me."


Yes, there are a lot of people living their lives like that. Live fast, die young kind of mentality.

Hypotheticals in tech pretty much always come true in the end. And especially fast these days.

The world is gearing up for something, and personally I smell a global war and a reshuffling of world powers in my lifetime.


Do you comply with PRC law, or even know what it asks of you? If not, why?

I don’t know and don’t care because I don’t have to. I live in a sovereign nation and I’m not obligated to follow their rules, any more than their citizens are obligated to follow mine. That’s how countries work.

If my country signs a treaty with them, then I have to obey that specific law. Absent that, I don’t.


Hell no I don’t abide by laws of the PRC.

If they had all the things I’d ever said in my life time they’d probably execute me. I speak my mind all the time. That’s what terrifies me though, because in 20 years time they could be running the show. So why would I want to make it so easy for them to know everything I have ever said, why would I want that data stored about me.


The lady went through a horrendous time, but she seems incorrect that the ‘whole World hates Jews’.

I don’t want to call the lady a liar, she has went through a traumatic time and may have a lot of hatred for Palestinians as a result (I couldn’t blame her) but it’s wrong to tarnish everyone with the same brush.

I don’t believe the World hates jews. The world aren’t antisemites, they are anti what Israel are doing to 2 million Palestinians.

I do feel a lot for this lady. It will have been traumatic. Especially for all of the hostages which haven’t been released so far and for the ones who were unfortunately shot to death while holding white flags.

Terrible. But peace is achievable. It won’t happen if Israel refuses to take accountability or if people in Israel aren’t allowed to question the ethics and tactics of the ‘response’.

It’s a lot of walking on eggshells as there is a constant insinuation of being an antisemite when you question Gaza.


the white flag hostages and others were killed by idf.. truly the Israeli diaper force..

lol have you seen the difference between H hostages and Israeli hostages??.. the ones released by H are actually healthier than before they were captured.. Israeli hostages look like death touched them..


I always go into the cookie preferences and turn off unnecessary ones. But for the-decoder.com, either it’s a dark pattern or bad UX or I am silly af…

Does clicking the slider turn them off or enable them? Is the ‘off’ what it’s currently set at or is it to turn it off?


AI is just became too frustrating to use. I cannot be arsed having to repeat the same things to it over and over again. And I can’t be arsed arguing with it (which I end up doing pointlessly!)


If only my iPhone had an ethernet port, I’d be able to go completely wifi free.



With usb c this is even cheaper and easier.


I'd guess apple would invent some "made for iCrap" certification plus parts authentication to keep prices up and skim off some money for themselves.


What’s the point of getting angry at a fictional product? They sell a generic USB-C Ethernet adapter for $30 https://store.apple.com/xc/product/HJKF2ZM/A


You can make a local bluetooth network, too.


I do not like using Bluetooth. As soon as I figured out how to do bluetooth hacking on my Flipper Zero, I stopped using bluetooth - it is completely vulnerable to the same kinds of attacks BadUSB can do. Scary!


Maybe the blog writer put it up for their own reference, but personally I like learning the ‘whys’.

I think I will just stick with Posix KSH.


KSH has just as many extensions beyond posix as Bash does.
