Too limited as a chrome plugin. I need an ADHD app that works across devices and watches me from my phone/watch.

If I have to go to my desktop then most of the value is missed.

Cold fusion was replicated by a few labs but that wasn’t good enough for the media and they killed it. For background see 60 minutes episode “Cold Fusion is Hot again” where they interview and admit Pons Fleischmann was right.

The difference now is that China is a super power and doesn’t have to kiss the ring of the US hegemon.

As an example of replication see

There are many paper like this.

The “cold fusion is a hoax” was in itself, a hoax.

Very early stage, but I have a small electronic jewelry project that merges voice sensing electronics to timeless gemstones and bespoke hand wrapped high end jewelry.

The value here is that everyone wants to be more important. A shining crystal that pulses with your voice makes you a celebrity everywhere you go.

Later versions will include an AI assistant that is tuned specifically to keeping you on task and engaged.

The sources have been posted and you can see for yourself that the climate sensors are located at the tarmac airports, many in the pathway of airplane exhaust jets.

Example: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/maps/lcd/

What you are looking for are “authoritative” analysis from the same in group perpetuating this scam, which is circular reasoning and a logical fallacy.

Many authoritative sources outside of this club are rightly pointing out with hard data that this warming is so overstated, fraught with integrity problems (to put it lightly) and conflicts of interests that the entire narrative needs an audit and inclusion of climate scientists that have been locked out of this debate.

Keep in mind that half of America can’t participate in politics and news (and others). Their views are deemed wrong think and their accounts are banned.

This is effectively the type of censorship employed by communist regimes like China.

This is all facilitated by the Apollo app and the 3rd party api. The amount of censorship is really depressing. Anything that disrupts this at least a little is a huge win.

Paypal is destroying themselves. I went to J6 protest. Didn’t go to the hot area, but one block away.

Both personal and business accounts were closed with paypal. Personal venmo was cancelled.

The letter they sent me said that they couldn’t tell me why my accounts were closed, and any further correspondence would be ignored unless I contacted their legal department.

It looks like the wrong people are now running the company.

If running a micro service use sqlalchemy and switch your db to sqlite for testing purposes.

There are scalability limits to this but for most cases it works extremely well and is fast.

“Fringe scientists” have been saying that cosmic and solar particles have been causing earthquakes for a long time.

It seems counter intuitive but an analogy is very simple:

A 15 mph breeze will do almost nothing to push a person, but will exert tremendous force on a sail of sufficient size.

Earth, in this analogy, is a really big sail.

I don’t like the flat style comments of sites like PhpBB.

Is there an equivalent open source solution that does reddit style hierarchical comments?

I agree with this take.

The GIL is hiding all kinds of concurrency bugs. If the CPython team default disable it then all hell is going to break loose.

It's better to carve out special concurrency constructs for those that need it.

It's not scary. Earth is a lush place with warmer temperatures. The deserts turn green and there's more rainfall everywhere.

Earth has never suffered a mass extinction from a warming climate. The only climate which does cause a mass extinction is an ice age.

If you are a climate scientist that goes against the narrative you get your funding cut. The result is a dearth of doom and gloom, because that's where the money is at. Dissident climatologists like Judith Curry get the boot.

Additionally, and what the main stream science won't tell you is that "global warming" is happening on other planets as well, where there are no humans and thus no industrial activity that could account for this.

The media and captured scientific institutions are trying to cover this up by saying that the planet is darkening.

The solution to climate change will only be taxes and more regulation. Solutions like Nuclear, which produces abundant carbon free energy has been sabotaged by regulation so that had no choice but to have a carbon based economy. Also, it's very effective blackmail against a country that decides to not pay the IMF for it's predatory loans, where the oil imports can be shut off via mandate, and the economic system of said country grinds to a halt.

The entire global warming system has been caused by... the sun. The sun is getting a little bit hotter right now but the string pullers that own the global financial system are using their influence to say it's the trace gas CO2, despite the fact that H20 has even more heat trapping capabilities than CO2 does and is far far more abundant.

I wrote a very good spam filter using chat gpt that was way better for whatever excuse big tech is using for their “spam filters”.

We need to stop buying the narrative that they are doing this to fight spam and are doing it as a gate keeping exercise.

    WAL mode has some issues where depending on the write pattern, the WAL size can grow to infinity, slowing down performance a lot. I think this usually happens when you have lots of writes that lock the table so sqlite never gets to doing wal_autocheckpoint.
I believe that WAL2 fixes this:
    Wal2 mode does not have this problem. In wal2 mode, wal files do not grow indefinitely even if the checkpointer never has a chance to finish uninterrupted
