I guess he really did have trouble remembering last week's puzzler.

I feel compelled to point out this important bit of context for anyone who doesn't read the paper:

Overall, based on the four environmental indicators used in this study, home-washed reusable nappies have the potential for the least environmental impact if washed in a water-efficient front￾loading washing machine in cold water, and line-dried.

The UK study similarly found that colder water and line-drying would sufficiently reduce the carbon footprint to a lower level than disposables.

But seriously? Who does that?

For regular clothing, where you can use a more powerful detergent? Sure.

But for something that goes directly against your child's most sensitive skin, which will need to be laundered with gentle detergent?

Maybe we can find a paper on how to do all that without heat but with proper sanitation? Remember, laundry detergent is designed to clean, but not necessarily to sanitize.

I tried to get used to nicotine via patches years back to use as a safe stimulant, and not only did I not get addicted, I couldn't get used to it

Well of course not. You weren't getting the dopamine rush of a large acute dose rushing from your lungs directly to your brain in a matter of seconds.

What the heck kind of hot take is this?

Regardless, the dangers – including ease of addiction – are well-known and are scientifically proven. Your anecdata of one does not change that.

It's not my take. It's the bean counters' take. They surely use justifications like that one to get involved at all.

This is where I'd put my [email protected]... If I had one!

If you turn it upside down, it's definitely a whale.

I just rebooted my 10-year-old Optiplex 990 (with a Samsung 860 EVO SSD). Windows 10 22H2 booted to the sign on screen in about 6 seconds. I opened Task Manager immediately, and the CPU calmed down after about another 10 seconds.

Yes, Fast Startup is disabled.

It's amazing he didn't turn into Dr. House.

I use it for hours a day, and I'm only at 347 MB total since install. But I only browse subscribed (and my subscriptions don't include memes).
