I wonder if the US had close calls like that but is too tight lipped to disclose them. The apparent lack of close calls on the part of the US would reflect badly on the USSR.
Good on those two men for their work though.

Most of the risk of prion disease is from the brain.
On routes with few starts and stops, the route with the lower speed limit is the more fuel efficient one. Higher speed means higher drag (by the square of speed).

9·15 days agoIt’s less about constant growth now and more about maintenance. As of last year, China’s population is declining, meaning over time, their population will be weighted towards the elderly.
3·16 days agoMethane, the major constituent of LNG, is an extremely potent greenhouse gas. When coal escapes, you have a black rock on the ground. When natural gas escapes, it fucks up the atmosphere real bad. And it escapes a lot along the supply chain. These are called fugitive emissions and iirc companies are not even required to keep track of them.
In concept perhaps, but idk if I would consider vaccines actually low tech, especially mRNA
People confuse the richest 1% of America and the richest 1% of the world. The former is multimillionnaires, the latter is like, software engineers in America. This article concerns the latter.
The US is, give or take, 4% of the global population. So, the top income quintile ($153,000/yr and above) brings you to around 1% of the global population, with room for well-off people in other countries.
In case your math skills are rusty, the global 1% is 80 million people. That’s the same size as Germany, the country. Yes it includes oil barons, multinational CEOs, and whatnot, but also like, professionals in expensive cost-of-living areas like Californian software engineers.

It’s still illegal federally (I think), and the FDA is also a federal organization. So while weed is legal in some states, the FDA rules wouldn’t really matter because those are federal. Break one federal law, what’s another?
Well I guess if you’re breaking one federal law you don’t care about breaking another (you legally can’t list love as an ingredient according to the FDA).

You guys could afford to go on vacation?
Grab from the reverse face, take picture, throw away.
I watched a video of a Linux noob trying it for the first time. They chose Mint, and a significant amount of problems arose from the fact that mint is still on an old kernel version, and there was little to no indication from the OS or from cursory googling that updating it would fix the issue or even that you should do that.
