Woof. 5 years since I kicked off my “[overlay] Will Get You Sued” series, which helped lead to a million dollar fine earlier this year by the FTC against accessiBe for its constant lies.

I feel sad when publications I've read in the past stop being published on paper.
I've also not bought a paper magazine or comic (single) since March 2020.

This week's #ThursDeath is a twofer. Death-doom two piece GRAVE EATER from Wales, UK put out two filthy demos in 2020, one in January and one in September. Not sure which I like more, but they're both chock full of raw, cavernous, growly, sludgy, often slow, plodding riffs and grooves. Even some actual power tools in the last track of the first demo here, 'Powertool Lobotomy'. Hope we se…

On the oldest system with the worst Python benchmark scores, it performs the best. The worst and best systems are both Ryzen 7 zen4 and zen3 running openSUSE TW; the middle child is a 2020 MacBook Air M1.

Yesterday Trump told us that his plan was to remove 21m people from the United States,
or 6% of our current population and at least 5% of our total current workforce.
“All of them have to go home.”
A few points about this insane post:
Best estimates are that the total undocumented population in the US is between 12m and 15m.
The figure that Trump and his regime keeps using
- 21m came in under Biden
- is made up and false.

Global ocean acidification has passed safe planetary boundary threshold: Study
A new assessment finds that the world’s oceans crossed the safe threshold for acidification in 2020, breaching a key planetary boundary and posing serious threats to marine life. Ocean acidification is caused when excess atmospheric carbon dioxide, resulting from human activities like burning fossil fuels, dissolves in seawater, forming carbonic acid that increases the water’s […]

ich habe ein Packster Lastenrad.
Bei dem musste 2020 nach etwa drei Jahren die Federgabel getauscht werden (in einer Fachwerkstatt). Die neue Gabel hatte dann eine Steckachse, also musste auch noch ein neues Vorderrad her.

Vorgestern ist mir aufgefallen, dass die Speichen zwar gekreuzt, aber nicht "übereinander" sind, alle, konsequent. Von einer Radwerkstatt so durchgeführt.

Superluminal Quantum Reference Frames
While particles cannot travel faster than the speed of light, nor can information, this assumption has over the years been frequently questioned. Most recently, it has been argued [New J. Phys. 22, 033038 (2020)] that in a world with superluminal observers local determinism is impossible, linking the two pillars of physics-quantum theory and relativity-suggesting that the latter serves as the foundation for the former. Motivated by this approach, in this work, we extend the framework of quantum…

What to know about Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to LA protests
President Donald Trump says he’s deploying 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles to respond to immigration protests, over the objections of California Gov. Gavin Newsom. It’s not the first time Trump has activated the National Guard to quell protests. In 2020, he asked governors of several states to send troops to Washington, D.C. to respond to demonstrations that arose after George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police officers. Here are some things to know about when and …

Regierungsumbildung in der Ukraine

Enhancing air-shower observations: Results from an IceCube Surface Array Prototype Station
The Surface Array Enhancement of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory is set to equip the existing surface cosmic-ray array of ice-Cherenkov detectors, IceTop, with radio antennas and scintillation detectors. This can lower the energy threshold of detection and increase the measurement accuracy of IceTop. The antenna readout uses a multiplicity trigger from the scintillation detectors. A fully functioning prototype station of the enhancement was deployed at the South Pole in 2020 and upgraded in 20…

pyCFS-data: Data Processing Framework in Python for openCFS
Many numerical simulation tools have been developed and are on the market, but there is still a strong need for appropriate tools capable of simulating multi-field problems, especially in aeroacoustics. Therefore, openCFS provides an open-source framework for implementing partial differential equations using the finite element method. Since 2000, the software has been developed continuously. The result is openCFS (before 2020, known as CFS++ Coupled Field Simulations written in C++). In this pa…

The repetition threshold for ternary rich words
In 2017, Vesti proposed the problem of determining the repetition threshold for infinite rich words, i.e., for infinite words in which all factors of length $n$ contain $n$ distinct nonempty palindromic factors. In 2020, Currie, Mol, and Rampersad proved a conjecture of Baranwal and Shallit that the repetition threshold for binary rich words is $2 + \sqrt{2}/2$. In this paper, we prove a structure theorem for $16/7$-power-free ternary rich words. Using the structure theorem, we deduce that the …

Julia Doubleday on the gamble that covid would be harmless to children
"It’s worth noting that at the time Kulldorff and the rest of the GBD crew were proclaiming COVID’s harmlessness to kids, they couldn’t possibly have had enough information to determine the veracity of their own claims. Viruses like the chickenpox, EBV, HIV, HPV, and HSV often present with mild initial infections but may cause major damage years later. We now know COVID can as well.
"For so-called experts to run with an assumption that an initially mild-presenting acute infection would be long-term harmless was just that; an assumption. They were willing to gamble the health of a generation of children on a guess in order to go “back to normal” because that’s what the oligarchy clamored for. Because it costs money to shut the world economy down. Because people who mattered were angry. Because children aren’t people who matter."
(GBD = Great Barrington Declaration, a bit of 2020 propaganda including the unfounded supposition that everyone who caught covid would be immune forever after)
Overall another excellent pointy article!
