4. ... (If the battery is exhausted, the display of the liquid crystal will become vague and difficult to look at.)
...
7. Do not use volatile oils such as thinner or benzine and alcohol for wiping.

Is this effectively flocculation, or something more?

Wonder if small beer would have a similar effect (assuming you brewed it in something that doesn’t itself shed plastic particles)

Edit: it’s apparently ‘coprecipitation’

The Atlantic Ocean is unusually warm right now. Here’s why scientists say that’s “deeply troubling.”



what they miss is that, while the atlantic is warm, the southern ocean is even warmer. It loving owns.

High levels of air pollution can harm performance of teams, which are vital for solving complex problems such as developing clean energy technologies and vaccines, and this could harm economic development in highly polluted emerging economies, says a new study co-authored at Cambridge Judge Business School.

The study used data from 15,000 live escape-room games in London. It estimated based on the data and the study's equations that for about 3,500 teams that participated for team-building exercises (usually from a corporate background) that on high-pollution days the escape teams could take up to 5% longer to solve a sequence of non-routine analytical tasks of the collaborative type seen in a modern workplace.

the constantly interjecting the bit about emperor penguins is so funny. like listen we know your pea brain doesn’t care about the ocean rising or natural disasters unfurling but these penguins. think of the penguins. soon those penguins will only exist in children’s cartoons like the Tasmanian devil or the law passed by Congress.

Large amounts of methane wafting from tropical wetlands into Earth's atmosphere could trigger warming similar to the "termination" events that ended ice ages, replacing frosty expanses of tundra with tropical savanna, a new study finds. Researchers first detected a strange peak in methane emissions in 2006, but until now, it was unclear where the gas was leaking from and if it constituted a novel trend.




Seems bad for control decks but good for Maverick which needs a shot in the arm anyway; Bant decks will have to gently caress with their mana a bit but will be fine, probably ditto Esper.

I think the upshot of an ice age termination event would be:
* no one plays Necropotence anymore in EDH/Timeless
* UWx control generally gets worse and midrange bant gets better
* Midrange selesnya decks that can benefit from more savannah get better
* Elves considers becoming a GWB deck again

And it’s meant to be just the beginning of an even bigger expansion. “Once this facility has successfully fulfilled its technical demonstration objectives, Equatic will scale and commercialize the technology globally,” said the UCLA press release, which also noted that Equatic-1, when functioning at full capacity, will be able to remove the equivalent of 850 people’s annual carbon dioxide emission.
Great! We only need a couple million of these plants then!
