I visited the local waste processing plant to learn about the basics in general and have some insights on what could I do for better recycling.
Clothing is the worst offender here. Impossible to recycle. The quality would not be good enough and the price is too high. It is a huge waste of resources.
Upcycling (e.g. repurposing) works with some materials, though, however, with very low efficiency.
Europe is moving towards reducing fast fashion therefore. This is a good thing in general, but I don't see this change in the US / Asia. And very slowly also in Europe.
I used both my thinkpads for 8+ years, generating $$$ for me. Build quality matters a lot when it comes to longevity, thinkpads were great at it decades ago. I would expect the same from MacBooks nowadays (I also had an M1 Pro Max from a former employer).
I want to believe that by getting back on track from nothing to where I left off already helps a lot to understand the problem at hand, and maybe realizing issues that before prevented me of finishing the task.
Haven't used this app for ages, but yesterday I fine-tuned the HDR settings for my newly bought laptop under KDE/plasma, definitely on Linux. That readme might be outdated (or the tool doesn't work on KDE at all)
This was an interesting read for me. I'm mostly aware of the _problem_, however, never wondered how that could be fixed with other designs, I guess he is working on something that implements one of his proposals (river/window/bonfire)
I am one of the hoarders who has saved Inoreader items, a "Later" bookmark folder with (once thought as) interesting stuff in it, obsidian we clips for the ones what are so precious I for sure didn't just want to reference to but actually make a copy of. But it's under control. It doesn't give me anxiety knowing that I "should" go through them, because... I often do.
I'm surprised that the "first" of these layouts only appeared in 2002. I would have sworn I used Akregator since 1999
You're right, and the article is wrong. 3 pane layouts similar to desktop mail readers and Usenet clients appeared well before 2002. For example, if you look at the history of feedreader.com, there is a screenshot of a 3 pane layout on the front page archived in 2001: https://archive.ph/U9ZAo
Hah, I guess this is the same then as in formula 1 (and possibly other motorsports). After the end of a straight (speeding) section, just before the curve they have 150/100/50 (m?) distance indicators. Sans the concrete block at the top. That would obviously shave the driver's head off.
It's not quite the same thing - the EMAS is the overrun surface itself, rather than the signs warning of it. However you are quite close to the money on another aspect of airfield design.
Lots of obstructions near the runway - signs, lights, aerial masts, meteorological equipment, fences - are supposed to be "frangible" [1]. They must break into pieces less likely to cause damage to an aircraft in a high-energy collision. There's a heck of a lot of GFRP used in lieu of metal around an airfield.
