Occasionally I've needed this site and generally it's helpful, but I don't think anyone looking for an explanation would leave less confused after plowing through all that.

The title is "Nose wheel falls off Boeing 757 airliner waiting for takeoff" and that's exactly what happened. That's not clickbait, since it's not deceptive, sensationalized, or otherwise misleading. It's just news.

I missed the "90 weeks" bit - you made it sound like it was coming soon, you cheeky scamp.

Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025. The current version, 22H2, will be the final version of Windows 10, and all editions will remain in support with monthly security update releases through that date.

The denier line has moved on from "it's not human caused" to "it's too late/expensive to do anything about it anyway", aiming for pessimism and doomerism to let them continue business as usual.

Having things like this we can counter with helps people argue and motivate to continue the fight.

Huh, there's a lot of us calling software "beasts" in this thread.

It's a very different kind of beast, but I'm very much enjoying it so far. Linking things is definitely Joplin's weak point whereas this is a core strength for logseq.

I often used bullet points in my Joplin notes, so having that as the default works for me too. However, since Op has said they want plain text notes Obsidian seems like a better fit (although logseq does save pages as text it's not what it feels like in use).

There's not been enough of that filmed to get tired of it. Everything out's been good to great, but there's so much more there that'd work well on-screen.

You could be right, because of this bit:

FOAM3R filter technology, patented by the University

HEPA is patent-free so can be extremely cheap.

On the other hand, the fact that it can filter out VOCs without needing a separate carbon filter is good and if it reduces maintenance some companies could find them worthwhile.

This is very good advice. I've made a couple - far from beautiful or quiet, but very effective and very cheap.

To save sending the tree every time, we could just have a fixed layout of letters and symbols. This would have the advantage that we could put them in order, which would be easier to work with.

I wonder what they found.

Apple reverse engineered a file format, Beeper reverse engineered a protocol.

Microsoft made several changes to try to keep Apple out, Apple's also made several changes to keep Beeper out, except now everyone's online so it's happening way faster.

It's not exactly the same kind of reverse engineering, but I never said it was. I think you've got a very narrow definition of reverse engineering in your head and you're quibbling over me using it more broadly than you would.
