Did you know the reason why they don't really plow the fields anymore as a way to avoid the need for herbicides to eliminate all the weeds is that plowing fields releases a lot of co2 and not doing so is claimed to sequester carbon?
This 2018 paper discussed the controversy, has some new stuff in there I wasn't aware of

The untrammeled greed of the founders of Philz Coffee -- and the financial looters who are buying the company -- is exceeded only by their pure contempt for the employees whose shares in the company are being vaporized.
How can this be legal? Because "capitalism" rules.

The list itself is a compilation of travel logs and multiple interactions with him. I do not buy, especially with how the NSA been spying on us since 2001, that they didn't know.
I strongly believe, especially with Epstein's connection to MOSSAD, that he blackmailed high profile people.
I also doubt that close acquaintances and friends didn't know the shit he's done.
Like the dude even left jail to go to work, what does that tell us?
Interesting review on an upcoming book regarding nuclear energy from a Marxist standpoint: multiracialunity.org/2025/08/0…

The current administration in the US has, through various funding agencies such as the NSF and NIH, has recently suspended virtually all federal grants to my home university, UCLA (including my own personal grant, although that is far from the most serious impact of this decision), on the grounds that UCLA was “failing to promote a research environment free of antisemitism and bias”. One can certainly debate whether these grounds were justified, or whether they merit the extremely draconian damage to the very research environment that this decision is claiming to protect, but if nothing else this unprecedented decision does not appear to have followed the usual standards of due process for actions of this nature; for instance, there appears to have been no good faith effort by the administration to receive a response from UCLA to its allegations before implementing its decision.
The suspension of my personal grant has a non-trivial impact on myself (in particular, my summer salary, which I had already deferred in order to allow the previously released NSF funds to support several of my graduate students over this period, is now in limbo), and now gives me almost no resources to support my graduate students going forward; but this is only a fraction of a percent of the entire amount being suspended. A far greater concern is the impact on the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM) ipam.ucla.edu/, which despite receiving preliminary approval earlier this year for a new five-year round of funding (albeit at significantly reduced levels) from the NSF, now only has enough emergency funding for a few months of further operation at best if the suspension is not lifted.

@FreakyFwoof And it's done, a simple checkbox in the options dialog. It applies to your currently opened documents too! If you have a giant book opened though it might slightly lag for just a second after closing the options dialog, I unfortunately have to recreate and repopulate the text controls. @ppatel commit 7cc91651e315ad8c887ab0d01749d0ebed586539

Added word wrap. The code for this is slightly horrifying, but I'd rather have to write slightly hacky focus setting code and possibly lag for a second if you have a giant document open when you toggle the setting as opposed to doing what JAWS does, and forcing a restart that actually doesn't even restart the app...

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •Does curl cache the discoveries it makes regarding fastest-responding IP results? I suspect the answer is "no of course not".
Maybe it should? An optional, probably short-lived, cache of "I did a dns lookup and here's the lag and thruput on the following IPs" might be handy.
Because a common use-case for me is repeatedly invoking curl against the same site and API with different query parameters - and I can see that optimization decision as being handy info to retain across executions for at least a few minutes.
Maybe an optional --cache-performance-data option.
PS. I dig the transparency on thought process - thank you for posting, and for curl. It's damn handy.

in reply to Tom Bortels • • •@tbortels it does not cache that. I know the apple operating systems do, but they keep that in memory and know when the network change so that they can flush it correctly.
"Someone" should run tests and see if and how much there is to gain with such a cache as a first step to see if its worth it.
