Just looking at the list of topics ("All topics" button in the menu) raises some major alarm flags about the trustworthyness of usrtk.org as a source.

Same here, and I'm a bit confused since it was recently discovered that clouds formed due to ship sulfur pollution were helpful to reduce warming, and reducing the sulfur pollution actually caused heating.

Why do those clouds cool the planet while contrails heat it? Is it just the difference in altitude, having the clouds higher up for some reason acting more insulating?

Sure, but setting the .style attribute could really be argued as using CSS, just with a different interface. W3Schools refers to this as "inline CSS".

It's mind-boggling to me that this hasn't been fixed (in Windows, I assume?), people have been complaining for years.
It's not inherent to DisplayPort though. Some monitors that suffer from this issue can disable "deep sleep" and have the issue gone even with DisplayPort, but not all monitors allow turning it off.
(And others yet, like my old Acer XB271HU, doesn't have the issue to begin with.)

CSS is used to create the design, basically the look (colors, layout and so on), but no substance.
JavaScript is used to implement code and logic.

HTML + JavaScript would typically (since you're supposed to use CSS to create colors and design) look very dull, thus the black-and-white Oppenheimer.

I'm not sure how it's madness. An episode can be bad in itself and not contribute anything of value to the greater story arc, in which case I don't see why it's wrong to see it as bad.

TNG was great, and the best episodes are incredible, but most episodes were fairly mediocre. I feel SNW's average is higher, and it's probably in part for having LESS than half the number of episodes per season.

I think they'd be fine with 12, maybe even 14, but beyond that I don't they could keep it as great as it's been.

Because it might work if you don't enter that your leftover ingredients are bleach and ammonia.

Yes, that shouldn't be an issue. I believe SFTP would be supported basically out-of-the-box if you install OpenSSH during the install, but you might want to create a group and configure access if you're not the only user.

The version thing is what I'm doing with ZFS (also works with BtrFS, but it doesn't feel as reliable yet). Basically I take snapshots every hour, and the entire state of the filesystem at that point becomes frozen in time, and can be accessed as long as the snapshots exists.
sanoid automates the process and cleans up so that there's a reasonable amount of snapshots, not hundreds or thousands.
Of course, this means that you can't really regain any space when you delete things, until the oldest snapshot containing the data is deleted.

It depends on what your goals are of course, but I use ZFS for the file system, sanoid to take snapshots on a schedule (hourly saved for a few days, daily saved for 1-2 weeks and so on up to monthly saved a year or two), Samba to actually share the files to Windows computers, Plex to share media to my TV.
Also rsync to a second (offsite) computer for replication/backups of the most important stuff. That computer also takes ZFS snapshots to get easy versioning of the files.

I wouldn't recommend it for most people, but it's nice if you're comfortable working with Linux to begin with.

Plenty of FOSS ways to set up a NAS. I'm going for Debian with ZFS myself, I prefer custom solutions as they are almost always more flexible than "NAS OS:es".

I wonder why they chose to only remove it from cutscenes in the first hotfix.

The key words are "delivered to the target". They use WAY, way more power than they deliver to the target, so if you take the energy generated divided by the total energy used, the number is WAY, way below 1. Probably a fair bit below 0.1 too.

I play with a friend. If it works out anything like Divinity: Original Sin 2 we'll be finished maybe around April or something.
We usually play about 1 hour at a time, almost never more than 1.5 hour... and about 2-4 times a week. So it'll take a long while, but it's a lot of fun.

I know this is /c/memes, but do you use any memorization techniques? Spaced repetition is a basic but extremely useful one.
Cramming is terrible for learning because you need to repeat things with longer and longer intervals to truly remember it long-term. Thankfully learning with this method can be LESS work even though it's much more effective.

Baldur's Gate 3.
I can probably count the number of games I've paid full price for in the past 15 years on one hand, and this is one of them. No regrets whatsoever.

Looking back on Steam, last time was GTA V. Prior to that Skyrim, and prior to that Portal 2.

It does move the plot forward in many relationships though, worth watching for that reason alone.
I also mostly cringe at the musical parts, but overall I don't regret watching it.

I wouldn't say it's overhead. When you zoom a bit it's more like a third party view, except you can move the camera around.

Relay, since it was called Reddit News. Since 2012 I think.

It's very steep since tons of reddit apps were more like $2 for the pro version.
I can see how that's too low to be sustainable, but $25 is a lot more.
