The man was called Boole (/buːl/; [BOOL]), so the value is a Boole-an (/'buːliən/; [BOOL-eeən]), as in Newtonian.

one car has to inch forward every 5 seconds even though they are already way past the line

In my limited experience these cars are driven by people so absorbed by their phones that they don’t realize they aren’t fully engaging the brakes.

Makes sense. You wouldn’t want to hammer that file onto disk every second.

That’s why you always prefix your todos with “TODO”

The only thing that matters is if it’s biodegradable. If the plastic won’t break down naturally, it doesn’t matter if it’s made from starch or crude oil.

Polylactic acid is a low weight semi-crystalline bioplastic used in agriculture, medicine, packaging and textile. Polylactic acid is one of the most widely used biopolymers, accounting for 33% of all bioplastics produced in 2021. Although biodegradable in vivo, polylactic acid is not completely degradable under natural environmental conditions, notably under aquatic conditions. Polylactic acid disintegrates into microplastics faster than petroleum-based plastics and may pose severe threats to the exposed biota.

Don’t feed the troll.

You jest! Asimov’s computers are the size of planets.

You seem to know your way around baptisms. I’ve heard that in an emergency, a priest can sanctify a mother’s amniotic fluid to baptize a fetus in utero. Couldn’t a priest also sanctify a person’s own blood?

Now I can imagine a camp where they hand out super soakers with holy water.

*stories. Tz tz tz.

Y’all gotta learn to German.

This is obviously not meant to conceal it like a navy seal in the bushes. It’s meant to look nice(r than a grey box). I like it. The pipes look like icicles.

Turns out I mistook what “factoid” means. Thanks for correcting me.

TIL about H⁻, hydride.

This [Edit: factoid] becomes even more interesting when you learn that artificial vanilla aroma is made from wood.

Me when I’m trying to sleep.

Thanks. I’ve never seen that.
