not sure what you mean, but I find that Dells are also cheap (second hand) easy to find, reliable, solid and easy to maintain (like the hardware is easy to access for cleaning and replacing/updating).

edit : I'm using a latitude 5470 with lubuntu. I bought it second in a pawn shop a few years ago and added some RAM last year, it still runs like a charm.

for a lot of people (me included), a cheap second hand thinkpad (or dell pro) with a light distro would be more than enough to cover their computing needs for years.

it is not such a stretch. according to Oxford dictionary, to throw is :

1.propel (something) with force through the air by a movement of the arm and hand.

which is a very human concept. We then can not judge other species ability to do it (exept primates). just like we can not say animals don't have languages because thay don't speak english.

2.send suddenly into a particular state or condition.

The archer fish is then very efficient at sending water into a particular state or condition with high accuracy.

the octopus for exemple has been observed throwing stuff around.

edit : elephants do it to. and you can find plenty of bird examples.

do not copy paste commands you do not uderstand from shady forums in hope it will solve your problem :)

the archerfish can accurately spit jets of water to hunt inscects ... I'm sure there are much more examples of other species accurately throwing things around. we're not that special ...

 

here is the ref picture.

 

a nice illustration of the way our lungs contrats due to boye's law when we freedive. at -10m the volume of air is already reduced by 50%.

 

Hi all, not sure this is the right place to ask... mods, feel free to do what has to be done if not.

I'm interested is "stone paper" a kind of paper made out of calcium carbonate (from limestone or construction waste) and HDPE (High-density polypropylene).

It's been advertised as a more eological solution for producing paper as it doesn't requires to cut down trees and uses much less water and chemicals in the process, compared to traditional paper.

My concern in about HDPE (that represent more or less 20℅ of the final product). Most companies advertise it as a "non-toxic biodegradable" plastic. But I can not find any reliable information to back this up.

I'm then inclined to think it is just green-washing.

but still I'm wondering if anyone could bring some insight about HDPE being biodegrade ...

thanks !

 

quick sketch, experimenting with ink on etched stone paper.

freediving could become a lot more mainstream, but should it ?

night shifts would be harmful anyhow (edit : it fucks up your sleep cycle as well as your social life)

I'v been using it (ME) as my main navigation tool for the last two years, as it comes preinstalled on /e/os. it's verry efficient and user friendly indeed !

it all works on /e/os, no worries
