The tldr bot just used SMMRY to do the work. I ran this article through it:

Scientists have identified the geological site that they say best reflects a proposed new epoch called the Anthropocene - a major step toward changing the official timeline of Earth’s history.

On Tuesday, the scientists announced the geological site - Crawford Lake in Ontario, Canada - that best captures the geological impact of the Anthropocene, according to their research.

Birthplace of the Anthropocene For the Anthropocene, the proposed golden spike location is sediment cored from the bed of Crawford Lake that reveals the geochemical traces of nuclear bomb tests, specifically plutonium - a radioactive element widely detected across the world in coral reefs, ice cores and peat bogs.

The great Anthropocene debate Some experts don’t think the Anthropocene rises to the level of epoch-defining.

Stan Finney, secretary general of the International Union of Geological Sciences and a professor in the department of geological sciences at the California State University at Long Beach, said the stratigraphic record of the Anthropocene is relatively minimal - barely a human life span - given a proposed starting point of around 1950.

I think this is why some people dislike systemd. It tries to do a lot when the nix philosophy is “do one thing well”

I don’t care myself. I just want stable software. People with to more free time can worry about software philosophy

Things like this terrify me. Don’t put half baked software into a multi-ton death machine.

Think of all the devices you have now that run off a computer. I assume all of them at some point have done something weird and you’ve had to restart them. Why are we doing this with cars?

Good. Now lets do the same for the rest of the country and implement something similar to Scotland.

the 95% confidence interval is 2025–2095

Looking at the date this article was published, it’s possibly worse than this makes it seem. This was submitted in March. If we look at the sea surface temperature graphs for this year you will see from March this year it goes crazy.

I can see a few reasons why I think red bull won’t be against this.

  1. They believe they have the best drive on the grid. Put everyone in identical cars and Max still probably wins everything
  2. They believe their aero package is better than anyone else
  3. They were helped by a similar thing a few years ago when Honda was dropping engine manufacturing. Paying back the karma
  4. Helps keep costs down. Making an engine be as good as everyone else is significantly easier than making an engine better than everyone else. There becomes a point when it is exponentially harder to increase performance

While GNOME 44.3 was skipped for some reason

Skipped by who? I’m running 44.3 right now

Edit: it was a tagged release on their gitlab too

This is what I use! It’s like RPG quests in real life but about really boring subjects. Eg. What surface is the pavement on a nearby street. Or is there a bin next to this bus stop
