  • The Technical Difficulties team still does stuff together but I think the contestants realized the articles from later, better seasons all come from the Unusual Articles list, spoiling the surprise and ending Citation Needed. Also, Matt has since come out as transgender and accepts any pronouns but doesn't want to talk more about it: no wonder since (s)he's British.

  • The non-secret and repetition-loopholed voting sounds like the crux of the issue, not being able to buy alcohol

  • Power-button-on-keyboard problems

  • Middle manager in call center reading this: "Apparently you've been lazy bums giving your 50% at best"

  • Windows native support for MKV (2002) and HEVC (2013): 2019

  • Technically, Piped is not just a frontend... How about setting up a redirect? I used to provide links to piped.video like the annoying bot but then I realized it's decentralized and everyone using Piped probably has a redirect (or link-handling app) set up to their preferred instance.

    BTW, there's an Internet Archive mirror of the video available as a plain file or in their online player The reference is at 9:57 but the whole thing is worth it.

  • Look at this anti-communist agitator drawing flags of Austria

    Also, in the Czech Republic, two red lines are used by foresters to mark nature reserves or other areas where logging is restricted, while hiking trails use a single colored line or symbol on white 10x10 cm background, as shown in the photo (except multiple line symbols share the same background, separated by a white line, to save space). Of course, birch, light-colored rock and reverse side of traffic signs (heavy-duty stickers) use a dark green background painted on them to make the white stand out.

  • Many can't be "kept" on the time scale of licking. And for some, the confirmed number of atoms ever existing is too low for any sensation or measurable radiation exposure during their violent but tiny decay. But if the particle accelerator beam, the only place they ever existed, crossed your head... we unfortunately know what happens https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoli_Bugorski#Accident

  • The same people think sulfur is "probably okay"

  • The long-lived isotopes of uranium are about as dangerous as lead, actually: heavy metal poisoning is the overwhelming concern. Same as bismuth, which is effectively stable and incorrectly marked "Probably fine".

  • O₂ or O₃? How about isotopes?

  • Locked

    Not a single one

  • Water vapor from the cooling tower is also a greenhouse gas but all heat exchange power plants at such scale emit it, and it condenses quickly (and increases albedo if the cloud is visible). Plus the nuclear waste, if not economical to recycle, may become its own long-term problem too. So the overall externalities of a nuclear power plant are small (it's the least deadly one!) but not zero.

  • These originate from Bohemia, 1888... well, it was part of Austria-Hungary back then. We're proud of our hiking infrastructure, adopted throughout Europe and parts of Asia and South America!

  • If it's a float, it will stop incrementing when the precision stops covering every integer

  • It's OK, she's actually a 9000-year-old shapeshifting dragon.

  • That's the thing: it's one of the few laptops you can buy without RAM and disk (of course only usable if you have these parts already)

  • That's what a Periscope competitor (live streaming app) used to be called before Periscope bought it
