the logistics of this are a little iffy. People don’t really melt, they burn

They explicitly removed the ability to access their content through their API to push first party frontends. This would never happen

they still do free shipping on orders over like 30 quid

What search engine do you recommend that isn't Google or Bing?

I’m still trying to de-Google my life, little by little. I don’t trust Bing for similar reasons. DDG is feeling shady of late. What’s the search engine you all recommend that I can inject into my daily life? Is there perhaps a search engine that is focused on code, or have we just all moved on to AI for searching?...

If you’re not spending some money then you’re not the customer, you’re the product. Would you really prefer the web continue to be supported by ads and people who sell data about you?

Wow I love science. I love that someone owns the exclusive rights to sell new drugs at whatever price they want

you haven’t known true fear until you’re working with incredibly toxic chemicals or weighing tiny amounts and get the jumpscare of your life by one of these

nothing can be free in a capitalist society

unless you mean perpetual motion/magic energy in which case that was solved hundreds of years ago. It can’t be done

Piracy is Preservation (feddit.de)

Image description: a screenshot from the Wikipedia page for the Doctor Who TV series, with a user-added caption that reads “Preserve the media you can before it’s gone forever.” The Wikipedia article reads, “No 1960s episodes exist on their original videotapes (all surviving prints being film transfers), though some were...

It would be less of a problem. But most of the media I consume is younger than that, and yet it is still at risk of going away at any moment. Nobody wants to even sell digital copies, except for the ones on CD, DVD, etc. Most of the time your only option is a “license” to access it, or a monthly subscription. A couple of years ago I “bought” the new Blade Runner on Google Play. Turns out now you can only watch above 480p on their approved devices. Which does not include my PC, my main device. The same goes for the streaming services, you get shafted on quality if you aren’t using a “smart” tv.

X-ray tubes, old and new, use high energy electrons that impact a metal to create the beam. Alpha and beta emission is from radioactive decay which is an entirely different phenomenon. But yes bathing your body in X-rays is bad for you

I do wonder whether this was actually an effective way to look for them. Even with modern high resolution x-ray imaging it may be difficult to see the contrast between soft tissues and diamonds since they’re both primarily carbon

bones show up well since they’re high in calcium, which has a much higher atomic number. Same with gold.

very cool. Hope it makes it through human trials and is affordable (very little chance if Pharma buys them out)

wtf does this even mean. Apart from overt sexism
