Just wait until the lawyers get a grip on the whole {carbon emissions, Cryptocurrency} interaction: another legal gold mine!

Joking aside, i think crypto or no crypto the climate mess is going to lead to some juicy litigation in the not too distant furture.

and your doubt is based on... what? Anti-Brum sentiment? Look, I hate Brum just as much as the next guy but yeah, they are the largest local authority, everything larger has been split up into sub-divisions, e.g. "arrondissements" in Paris and "boroughs" in London.

the Oracle fail is just a relatively minor part in Birmingham's bankruptcy, the main item is a £760m bill for equal pay claims, after years of underpaying women.

it's clearly the extraterrestrial overlords of the lizard people that ordered the attack to avoid their inadvertent detection by some 21 year old bespectacled wallflower grad student in the telescope facility. But wait! She's not only going to thwart the attack but also be recognised as in fact a beautiful woman which no-one had recognised before for mysterious reasons to do with her eyewear, and cop off with the hero of the story. Roll credits.

At least this is usually how it goes in these documentaries...

What are the engineering benefits and challenges of CH4 as rocket fuel? Failing that, fart jokes anyone?

The chefs cooking dinner for the BCA? What's the BCA? Take your pick: I prefer the "British Cheerleading Associaton".

it is *not* struggling with 50TB

It's coping fine and is *expected* to scale much further but hasn't been tested there. Some dude has worked on it and maintained it as an out-of-kernel component for years and now it's close to getting it merged into mainline, which would make life easier for the developer and *much* easier for potential testers/adopters, including those with petabytes of disks.

For some reason the merge triggerd a shitstorm of abuse so that Linus T called for calm, that's all.

there's a great deal of stuff in the linux kernel that's "minority interest" that alone is no reason to not have it.

why do grown-ups get so obsessive about some kids' movie franchise?

yes I was goin to say: what about the "Nokia Express"? https://youtu.be/VrWZfhD_ax0

yea, chill y'all. It's still much more likely to get killed by gunfire in Florida and Texas than to catch Malaria

Some may very well be physically "damaged" by the fumes they inhale on a daily basis to fill up you car. That shit makes people go soft in the head. Self-filling was made mandatory many years ago in Europe, because the exposure to hazardous vapour is basically inhumane treatment.

(*) this description is incredibly problematic

Here in UK, i rarely buy any fuel as I cycle everywhere, but when I do,

- Pumps that have a broken latch such that you have to hold it down the whole time

is a major bugbear as it applies to every single pump anywhere. I assume they're broken by design due to some sucky safety regulation

even better to not have F350s at all.

Yet another instance of "it's expensive to be poor"

fundamental difference is that in the 787 case there is positive pressure _inside_ so the round shape _holds itself_ and there's just tensile stress on the material. In case there's any "un-round" variation to the shape, the gas inside tries to bring it back to "round". Like in a soap bubble.

When there's positive pressure on the _outside_ that is not so: any imbalance is amplified and the thing cruhes like a beer can.

Should we trust Boeing after the 737-MAX clusterfuck? Maybe not 100%. But more so than some dude with more money than sense who builds tiny submarines? Hell, yeah.

Hmm ask google... https://www.port.ac.uk/news-ev... They are spreading it out over time. And the level is low, not compared to what other nuclear sites are releasing, but compared to what's naturally being generated in the earth's atmosphere by cosmic radiation.
