I will second citric acid.

We had a desktop ice maker with hard water and after about 3 months had issues with ice ejection. Well before then there was visible calcium build-up on the interior surfaces.

I think you're right, probably a summary generated from a press brief.

I also found the final report and it says there's no significance difference between solar and non-solar sites.

RESPONSE OF SAN JOAQUIN KIT FOXES TO TOPAZ SOLAR FARMS: IMPLICATIONS FOR CONSERVATION OF KIT FOXES

Smooth surfaces such as polished metal have fewer areas to harbor bacteria compared to the fibers of a wooden door, for instance. In addition, a flat surface is easier to clean than a round knob.

Another benefit is that some metals have a natural antibacterial property toward bacteria organisms on their surfaces.

Going to pop in with a vote for Kagi. They are paid, but they also run their own index so they don't use Google at all. Well worth it.

Unfortunately, that laser shown is 1,000 mW but mislabeled as 1,000 nm. That's 200 times stronger than you can get in a regular laser pointer.

For sure. I'm going the easy route and just making a webring host site first. Testing out a few codebases right now and should have something this week.

Alright, I'm in. I've been looking for something to host on my domain root. New weekend project!

Oh man, I miss the early days of Stumbleupon. So many unique sites.

They definitely subsidized them. It's part of their business model.

I just got a Kobo Libre Color and I'm blown away by the quality. For the general crowd it has the same "it just works" appeal as Kindles, but for the tech crowd it's an open book. You can even ssh into it without the need for jailbreaking.

That's a great idea! And my local stations already start with a K so they don't have to change.

It's missing the hip bones. Gotta put those in for extra science. Pic Ref

The Seeed T1000-E is by far the best hiking companion. It's water and dust-proof, has a 2+ day battery life, and excellent range in credit-card form factor. Plus it looks nothing like a radio so it won't attract suspicion from certain groups.

If only everyone was as open to changing their mind based on new evidence. We might be a better country.

I agree it's a long way off. I went to a conference in early 2000's and everyone was hyped for it.

Honestly I think you'd see better improvement by focusing on increasing yields in plants that are already C4 (like corn, as you mentioned). There are plenty of grass derivatives like sugarcane that are already C4 and also established crops.

It's nice to know, I agree. But converting from a C3 pathway to C4 for Photosynthesis via genetic engineering will save a ton of water while also potentially making them drought resistant.

Exactly what I was thinking

I love Gold. But you're correct, Thief 2 is god-tier.

Came here to say this but you covered it pretty well! So I'll just leave this image of steel being "cut" under an electron microscope. You can see the deformation and change in structure.

I hit a snag when we had to replace the vehicle unexpectedly. The new one has no good mounting options besides magnetic attachment so I'm still looking.
