🟡 Thermal radiation radius (3rd degree burns): 73.7 km (17,080 km²)

Third degree burns extend throughout the layers of skin, and are often painless because they destroy the pain nerves. They can cause severe scarring or disablement, and can require amputation. 100% probability for 3rd degree burns at this yield is 13.9 cal/cm².

Hope the air raid sirens are working then 😉

See what you mean. When I summarized it for [email protected] , I minimized the whole business impact part of the story, because Amazon shipping poop is kind of a bigger deal.

Amazon's returns process is a complete dumpster fire - they'll slap a "new" sticker on your used crap and put it right back up for sale. Case in point: a small biz got screwed when Amazon resold their poopy swim diaper as brand new, tanking their company. Thankfully, Amazon took immediate action (JK). At least sellers now at least have the option to opt-out of returns being sold as new.

Best I can think is they’re trying to bat for the little guy…

iOS 17: Do you make it a point to use Safari’s Private Browsing? Supposedly Safari prevents cross-site tracking, but Private tabs give peace of mind for some reason. (sh.itjust.works)

Attached what I think are my relevant settings. I mainly use Safari for iCloud Private Relay.

Maybe it makes it harder for a site to track me if I’m using Private Browsing versus using the regular mode without clearing website data, eh?

Too bad Tab Groups don’t isolate cookies (and other data), seems like that would solve for some of my use cases. And too bad Private Tabs forget cookies when they’re not used for a while / you run out of RAM. That would also solve for some use cases.

I’d like to pin a dozen or so completely isolated tabs and have them always maintain my cookies. Because I can’t, I use Tab Groups for a few sites I use frequently, and launch a new Private Tab for everything else.

iCloud Private Relay keeps your internet activity private

Private Relay hides your IP address and browsing activity in Safari and protects your unencrypted internet traffic so that no one -including Apple—can see both who you are and what sites you're visiting.

ChatGPT outperforms undergrads in intro-level courses, falls short later (arstechnica.com)

Researchers create 30 fake student accounts to submit model-generated responses to real exams. Professors grade the 200 or 1500 word responses from the AI undergrads and gave them better grades than real students 84% of the time. 6% of the bot respondents did get caught, though... for being too good. Meanwhile, AI detection tools? Total bunk.

Will AI be the new calculator... or the death of us all (obviously the only alternative).

Note: the software was NOT as good on the advanced exams, even though it handled the easier stuff.

So awkward, but come on it says right there on the package to wash those mushrooms or whatever it is… You’re not their mom but you don’t wanna eat feces or whatever ended up on the produce. A quick rinse is never going to be perfect but it’s better than nothing.

In the absence of legitimate suggestions, commiseration is welcome too 😉

A three-panel comic strip. In the first panel, a man in a suit (Alex Jones) is sitting at a desk with a banner behind him that says "Info Wars". Offscreen, someone says "Cut!! That's a wrap for today!"

In the second panel, “later”, Jones asks a green frog washing dishes "Everything ok, babe?"

In the third panel, the frog cries and demands "How long do we have to hide who we are??"

Pesticide atrazine can turn male frogs into females

Atrazine, one of the world’s most widely used pesticides, wreaks havoc with the sex lives of adult male frogs, emasculating three-quarters of them and turning one in 10 into females, according to a new study by University of California, Berkeley, biologists.

The 75 percent that are chemically castrated are essentially “dead” because of their inability to reproduce in the wild, reports UC Berkeley’s Tyrone B. Hayes, professor of integrative biology.
