Surely you should blame the airlines, rather than the individuals. They cram more people on, giving you less space - but charge the same - and you get mad at other customers, rather than them for cramming you in.

If I had to guess it's because of the 'service' command, which goes 'service foo start'.

It took me ages to unlearn that pattern for using systemctl, even though as you say: it's far more consistent

There is a response to this paper on the journal website: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adg2565#eletters... (the eLetters section), which claims the signal from GPS is just noise.

We replicated the behavior (somewhat) of the article, using podman, as a way to allow devs to SSH into a container that was identical to the CI/CD environment. It also mapped in their NFS home drive, so they could quickly SSH into the container to try a build, to see if it was their dev machine, or a real issue. It did allow them to choose their container though.

Yeah, but making lime is very energy intensive.

Pretty much spot on. To summarise, I would say Scotese drew these maps based off ~vibes~, especially when it comes to the paleogeography.

You can see much more cutting edge research here: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.add2541, which is done within the group that built GPlates. (video of the outputs here: https://youtu.be/QaDt1VQ9WlY )

No problems, makes perfect sense.

The github repo for the applet is archived - does it all still work OK?

Exactly, good point. It is convenient short-hand term, and in the case of climate forcing tectonic activity, it works well, I think.

Yes, you're right, it is the isostatic unloading that they're referring to - but in regards to the 'sucking', they seem to mean that the semi-localised unloaded of the top of crust (via rain, river incision) creates a zone of lower lithostatic pressure, and so that area ends up getting pushed up to maintain isostatic equilibrium. Not truly a 'sucking', but as an analogy, I think it's OK. It's more easily seen as part of the critical wedge angle for fold and thrust belts.

Is it possible to make your config available, e.g., GitHub?

I'm just starting to get going with Rhasspy, integrating with Home Assistant, and the docs miss just enough that I hit walls everytime I try.

Thanks for the info you've already provided though, sounds like I want exactly what you do.

This seems dumb. I'm sure poisoning the water supply would also reduce the crime-rate.

I would say assuming sciences are somehow not affected by these sorts of factors is worse than what the humanities do - at least they admit a bias. From my own experiences in the hard sciences, the human-factor dominates over objectivity, from the individual through to peer review.

I vaguely built something similar for Sydney, but in showing how good/bad public transport is than driving (hint: it's way worse to catch PT): http://www.publictransport-or-drive.com/

It pretty much makes a isochrone maps all over the city, and gets google public transport and driving times and creates a ratio. I've started to work on a better version 2, but so far not much work.
