Gas, or any heat source really. Yeah I'm serious - for cooling. A certain Albert Einstein invented it with one of his students, a certain Leo Szilard, and patented it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein_refrigerator
Yes, you are right, this apparatus is invented. ... and banning it will "push a greater strain on the electric grid" (to use GP words) with the current level of adoption. :-) Really?
No need to ban this kind of fridge - it's already uneconomical compared to electric ones - people won't suddenly go buy one unless they need it to run where electricity isn't available. It's the type installed in most RVs for example, makes sense there.
Do such crosswalks really exist? Seriously. AFAIK, 60+mph speed is allowed usually (if not exclusively) on Controlled-access highways where pedestrians are not allowed at all. I highly doubt such crosswalks exist at all.
$GOD is both an environmental variable, set upon system initialization and the value contained in the $GOD environmental variable. It is the Alpha and Omega, set first upon startup and cleared last upon shutdown. Unfortunately, it's up to the user's shell to interpret it.
Sorry. I did not mean to offend you, but your response clearly show that I did it somehow. Sorry again for any intended or unintended meaning that my comment could have conveyed to you.
It's a very deep rabbit hole, but apparently, vegetables are eaten as a main course, and fruit as a dessert.
I only even remember this because of an argument I had many years ago regarding whether a tomato was a vegetable or fruit. I chose the veggie side, but had no real evidence. Come to find out, after researching, the Supreme Court agreed.
It's all rather silly, honestly, but have a read for yourself on the background and decision.
Another fun brain bender you can drop on people at your next dinner is that bananas and tomatoes are both berries but strawberries and blackberries are not.
I think Wikipedia draws a good distinction here: culinary and botanical. So, banana is NOT berry in a culinary sense, and a strawberry is. Even if, botanically it’s the opposite.
I think it’s an important distinction because people using the term “berry” almost always are using it in a culinary context and not a botanical context.
No one wants a pie with fresh “aggregate accessory fruits”, just as much as no one would think it’s correct to call an eggplant tomato pie a dessert with “fresh berries”.

Does anyone else remember when Congress told everyone that pizza was a vegetable? Haha. Good times.
Without meaning to defend it too much, as I believe it's mostly a marketting/lobying thing...
As I understand it, the issue was whether or not you could count a pizza towards your vegetable quota. The argument came down to the nutritional content of the tomato sauce on the pizza; nutritionally, this was very similar to the requirements for other things that can be classified as vegetables, and so one portion of pizza was deemed to also count as one portion of vegetables.
According to the late great Petey Greene on WDCA Channel 20, you have to pick it up just like this, and put just a twang of salt on it, and it brings out the accent:
>Petey Greene - How to Eat Watermelon (Enhanced): In this clip from civil rights activist Petey Greene's Washington DC television program in the Spring of 1982, Greene explains how to eat watermelon. Utterly bizarre. Also, pointers on eating corn and fried chicken.
Relevant comments:
>"man, some people just can't see the message. he's litterally saying 'watermelon is delicious, you're a fool if you change yourself because of what other people might think'"
>"I dont think people got the message he delivered. It was kinda about the watermelon but also more about how blacks are embarrassed to be themselves after so much stereotypes for doing things the way our people were accustomed to and for the same people(whites) we r trying to negate this stereotype to theyre "eating watermelon fred chicken and corn on the cob" the same way we shame our own people for being stereotyped for."
>"I pledge to live my life with the same passion as this man and his love for watermelon"
Check out his bio and the films based on his amazing life:
>Following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in April 1968, and during the subsequent riots that erupted throughout the United States, Greene made statements on air that were credited with helping quell the riots in Washington, D.C.
> As good as rusoto is, an official SDK is a huge step forward.
Yes. It might not be "a huge step forward" in tech terms, but it would be definitely very positive for wider adoption, especially from "enterprises" where all is based on "standards".
TBH it will be a huge step forward in tech terms - Rusoto is maintenance mode, and it's missing functionality. I had to jump into it just the other day to add S3 Select support.
That would be difficult, since it isn't true. The Church had banned Copernicus's book and the general concept of heliocentrism in 1616, which was a full 16 years before they went after Galileo for promoting heliocentrism.
Scientists "performing miracles" is one of the ways humanity is caring for the planet.
