Internet access is increasingly becoming as crucial as any other utility. For some people, losing Internet might interfere with work, school, or medical devices.
It’s not “the end of the world” if my electricity is out for 5 hours, but it might cost me hundreds of dollars in spoiled food. It’s not “the end of the world” of my Internet is out for 5 hours, but it might “cost” me PTO.
You mean the journal article? It gives good details about how it generated its numbers for different building materials and methods.
Here’s the actual journal article. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0328965
They didn’t make RAM. But they tried to see if this fungus could act as a memristor. A memristor is one of the four fundamental electrical components, along with resistors, capacitors, and inductors.
One of those tests was a volatile memory test. Think of it more like storing a single bit vs with RAM where you have an addressable space of values you can set and read.
Amen!

This article smells fishy. Another commenter mentioned the source not being reliable. But the whole concept of “drawing to a plan to invade Greenland” sounds off to me. Remember the US probably already has detailed campaign plans for something like this.
Part of responding well in a crisis is planning the response ahead of time. In a military context, that means wargaming and campaign planning. I expect the US military has offensive and defense plans for a wide range of situations. That likely includes everything from options for offensive actions in China to plans for defending a conventional invasion from Canada.
To be clear, I’m not picking on the US here. Every professional military in the world is going to do this sort of preparation. Part of a prepared military is having a plan of action in rapidly developing situations.
You can be against religion but also unhappy that a government is arresting people apparently for only practicing a religion.
I don’t think they actually do any weather forecasting. Last I heard, all the US weather apps are getting forecasts from the National Weather Service (part of the NOAA). I imagine it’s similar in other countries. Which makes the bait-and-switch that much more infuriating.
Not sure about Maduro-owned funds, but I read yesterday about the Bank of England freezing access to a chunk of the Venezuelan gold reserve in 2018. That action has been going through UK courts for years.
…I think a huge part of the problem here is how people read and consume information; take one bite of what is presented and go straight to an extreme opinion.
I always encourage better media literacy, but it’s a problem when we minimize propaganda as “the reader is the problem”.
Which logs did you look at already?
If you’re using journalctl, I think you should have shutdown messages in the log. You might need to filter by the previous boot for them though (https://linuxhandbook.com/journalctl-boot-logs/).
For dmesg, you might have old, rotated logs from previous boots in your /var/logs folder.
I’d expect any logs around power management to end up in one or both of those places.
You could also try manually triggering a suspend or hibernate to see what happens. I remember having a machine that would suspend fine, but if it was suspended too long, it would hibernate. And for some reason it didn’t know how to come back up after a hibernate.
And qualified immunity in theory is a good thing. Imagine if a rich criminal brought civil lawsuits to every individual involved in prosecuting their case.
In practice, it has shielded violent cops.
Yeah, it sounds more like political fear mongering.
Ya know what…I could see it happening. It wouldn’t do anything. But it’s not the most ridiculous thing this timeline has offered.
That definitely amplifies the problem, but this isn’t a new problem.
Here’s a study by Pew Research that shows this (data collected from 2016 to 2021).
Here’s a paper that attempts to estimate how much time women have historically spent on “home production” (unpaid work that benefits the household, like cleaning, caretaking, etc). The estimates are based on data from 1900 to the 2000s.
On page 27, Table 6A shows employed, married women haven’t seen a significant reduction in domestic work.
Table 7 shows data for men, but it’s not clear which are married (or sharing household tasks with a woman in some other way). That table shows employed men are taking on much more domestic work than a hundred years ago, but single employed women spend 3 hours more a week while married employed women spent 10+ hours more per week.

I agree but I’d say “to stop thinking of it as a legal problem.”
I think it would be more effective to treat it as a health / mental health problem.
Unfortunately that’s a stereotype that holds up way more often than it should. Women often end up taking on a huge domestic load and/or caretaker load in a household, even if both she and her husband are working outside the home.
There are couples that never fall into this or that actively try to balance domestic and caretaking activities. One set of tools I know about is “Fair Play”.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to do. Do you have slow or clogged drains that you’re trying to fix? Or are you just trying to dispose of them?
If you have a drain problem, I think drain cleaner is supposed to be safe for modern pipes. But if you have old cast iron drains, it can eat through them.
If you’re trying to dispose of them, look up how your town wants you to dispose of hazardous waste. Some places will have a specific place and time you can drop off hazardous chemicals like drain cleaner.
(If you’re trying to dispose of it and don’t have access to hazardous waste removal, it is possible to neutralize the drain cleaner and safely dispose of it. But if you’re asking these sorts of questions, you aren’t qualified to do that. For anyone who might be qualified, don’t forget your PPE 😅)
Sounds like, whatever her reason, she did it on an impulse.
True, but there’s also a little more nuance.
For a social media ban to be effective without ostracizing individuals, it has to include the entire friend group.
As an analogy, if the kid’s friends all text each other, but your kid doesn’t have a phone, they miss out socially. They miss out on organized and impromptu hangouts. And they miss out on inside jokes that develop in the group chat. Over time they feel like more and more of an outsider even if the ready of the group actively tries to include them.
