I think it’s more that one delivery is a drop in the bucket while achieving a constant stream of deliveries (e.g. the public puts enough pressure on their respective governments) could meaningfully address the problem

I have spoken with some of the people involved with this research previously. Beer foams aren’t really the focus here, more that it’s a complex system useful for developing the technique. Interfacial rheology and film drainage have a lot of applications. For example, this research could assist in the development of vaccine delivery methods (what should you coat the inside of your syringes with or what surfactants should you add to the vaccine to make it flow in a way that doesn’t damage the proteins or form bubbles). However, a lot of these vaccines may be difficult or expensive to prepare while beer is (relatively) cheap and readily available. Also, since the specific system doesn’t matter, why not have a little fun and use beer.

Soaps, detergents, firefighting foams, and paints might also benefit from this research.

Given the original surviving mars’ history, I’m guessing they’ll fuck everything up with an update 6 months from now and not give the opportunity to roll back. Then a few months later they’ll release a patch to fix only some of it

Of course, how else do you think she gets to the places where Gnome Ann has gone before?

Sudoscience* it’s what sysadmins do

It seems this may be to cover up the bad news that Take Two/2K have changed their ToS to essentially allow all their games to be spyware. As the article says, it doesn’t look like the games have actually been updated yet, but that could just be coming

Also, even without updating the game files, it limits how you can use the game you purchased. You can be banned for using a VPN or playing he game on a VM and you risk being banned for using mods (it makes no allowance for mods in SP or private MP).

I agree completely, the Democrats losing is entirely their fault. They’ve been unappealing for years so they can chase those corporate bribes. But if you listen to them it’s never their fault. I voted for them, but I didn’t like it.

Indeed, but instead we get someone who will take a torch to it. One vote was for someone who would make things worse more slowly and the other was for someone who would make things very bad very quickly. We decided to go quickly.

The last third aren’t necessarily ok with the healthcare situation, it’s just not their top concern. Some of them might be most concerned about being sent to a concentration camp or losing their job (which would affect their ability to afford health care plus a bunch of other stuff).

For my Logitech’s mouse I’ve used InputRemapper. Don’t know if it supports the G13.

Theoden: this glass is half of what I’d hoped for

The problem with using wind and solar is that you’d need a lot of it due to the energy requirements. While both should be used extensively, there comes a point where the resources required (these would likely use precious metal catalysts) to build the CCS plants and all the power infrastructure for it and waste produced makes it the obvious choice to just use trees.

If you look at how trees function, it is an incredibly complex process with some rather extreme conditions which are difficult to replicate with machines. If someone does manage to get it done efficiently then that’s great (though I think this is unlikely). But I don’t want it to become like recycling did: an excuse for companies to do whatever they want. The original expression was “reduce, reuse, recycle” with recycling being the last resort, but now we never hear about the first two because they get in the way of obscene profit.
