It’s not any snake, but some species that are adapted to living on trees. It’s also not really flying. Gliding would describe what they do better. As they jump, they flatten their body and make slither movements through the air, gliding maybe at a 45 angle downwards.

Emphasize on “should”? Thank you! I’ve looked this up several times just to have in forgotten when needed. So for me, VIM only, when I have internet access.

Hey, welcome, fellow noob!

I hopped on the Linux train maybe 20 years ago and haven’t had any non unix system in maybe 15 years.

Also, I don’t know anything much. I can do basic tasks with a Terminal, but I don’t think for example I could install Arch from scratch. Or if I’d accidentally opened VIM, I’d have to kill power to get out again. But I like to tinker. If you like to tinker it’s a big plus, otherwise things, that don’t work instantly, might get frustrating.

As others said, use a pre built distro + DE environment, especially if you don’t really know what you do. Another thing that I’d recommend: a distro that be backed up easily. So you can tinker and start over, if necessary.

If I don’t know, how to fix a thing, I usually look up my question online. The problem with that is: I’ll find solutions containing commands that I don’t know, what they do. I have “fixed” my OS to death before, so it’s always nice to have a recent backup.

Ubuntu is the biggest, although it’s not old-school like win98 and comes with idealistic problems for many people. If you didn’t really enjoy it, I wouldn’t go back, just because it has the biggest community. Community isn’t only about size.

Mint is rock solid, I’ve run that a long time with different DEs.

Another distro, I can’t really recommend (as I haven’t used it further than live USB yet), but might be very interesting for you, is MX Linux. It comes with simple DEs and more importantly: a ton of GUI tools (including a back up tool where you can back up the entire OS including apps and settings as a flash USB).

I don’t know, if I was able to help anything. I just wanted to reassure, that there are (maybe even many) Linux users that don’t really know what they do.

As with many skills in life, I believe, the best way to learn is by just doing it. There will be failures. And each failure is a big opportunity to learn something.

Aren’t these changes, because there are just have bones to look at, so skin properties etc are a guessing game?

But how did that jaw bone double in length in 2001? Was the skull a missing part until then?

Ironically education is a good way for people not to radicalize, I believe.

Eau de Paris’ data shows that pollution levels in the river exceeded regulatory standards on most days between July 26, the start date of the Olympics, and Wednesday. Eau de Paris did not release data for Thursday and Friday, when the men’s and women’s 10 kilometer swims were held.

Lol, do they try the Covid strategy of “no numbers, no problem!”?

Totally agree. I just witnessed my sister delivering her baby a few days back.

I’m curious. What happens to the medium? Does it simply get pushed aside? Or pushed along? Or will it eat up some energy and react to something else?

I was shocked about “electric rocks” but it seems to be just a fancy word for “metallic minerals”.

The article also says

Geiger determined that natural mineral deposits on the ocean floor, called polymetallic nodules, contained elements including cobalt, nickel, copper, lithium, and manganese—all of which are critical components of batteries.

I think I have seen some video about an Australian entrepreneur who wanted to “harvest” those things off the seafloor, to great concern of environmentalists.

I don’t know much either, it happened once to me withhin a decade.

Did you maybe contact random people to start a group or so? If so, they may have flagged you as spam or so.

“world news”

And another funny one from Climate Town https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CkgCYPe68Q

And more. Major river discharge can raise the sea level in the area. Then big circular currents similar like when you stirr your cup of coffee or tea. Or chocolate milk 🤤

I also thought about wet bulb and checked the humidity in Delhi, which seems to be just 7 % or so. According to wet bulb calculators that’s still good, like around 23 °C wet bulb.

Interestingly the wet bulb temperature calculators that I tried only work until 50 °C, so that was what I put in.

At 50 °C you need about 35 % humidity to get to 35 °C wet bulb.

Regarding your second point: If I’m not mistaken, the hottest month in the region is around May. The temperature is influenced by monsoons, and although the sun peaks higher in summer, it is generally also more cloudy and rain cools of the surface. That’s why usually temperatures peak just before rain season.

Thank you!

Do you have a link to source of that? I’m pretty sure there are many sensors measuring the temperatures in a city that size.

It is far from over.

We are currently doing the easy part of dropping emmissions. We have not yet peaked, globally speaking. Then we need to get to zero.

The only possible pathway now is overshoot and return. Which means we depend on carbon removal in a big style, in whatever form that will be.

It also means we will go temporarily over 2 °C. That is a critical number where several tipping points could be reached.

Pretty much the hardship has just begun. Now we need to stop emitting completely, somehow in the same time start to remove atmospheric CO² and hope that while we will be over 2 °C that no crucial tipping points will be reached.

Good read!

It did not mention the nuclear bombs that have been lost somewhere.

Thanks for your reply. I looked it up now and it looks like you’re right.

There doesn’t seem to be any scientific difference, it looks like it is based on how people feel about these stones.

Very interesting and ambitious mission.

I just read a little about it. Going to the far side is by far more complicated as going to the side that faces Earth. As communication will be lost as soon as the rocket is behind the moon.

In order to keep contact, there are 2 lunar satellites launched acting as a bridge.

The far side is believed to have a very different composition compared to the near side and part of this mission is to find out why.

Any thoughts, ideas?

I thought maybe the far side receives much more impacts as it’s not protected by Earth, so maybe has much more “imported” materials from different areas of space while the near side is still much more Earth like. But that would probably just be surface, I don’t know.
