This measurement is more than 2,200 years old, and its accuracy is remarkable
How did Greek librarian Eratosthenes accurately measure the circumference of Earth using a stick, a shadow, and a walk?Gareth Hutchens (ABC News)
The Olympics are stripping Jordan Chiles of her bronze because the judges messed up, she corrected them, they agreed—but because she corrected them 4 seconds too slow, she loses her bronze.😐
Another reminder that Black people need to be twice as good.

A few months ago when my #Synology #NAS died, I built a DIY to replace it. I finally got around to documenting the process and hope this is useful for someone.

AI ❤️ Tuta!
Which makes sense as we're already using quantum-safe encryption. 🔒
We might not like AI, but it sure likes us. 😊

no le enseñes que aprenden rápido.
La AI no quiere a nadie, al fin y al cabo es un programa que te dice lo que sabe casi como funciona una calculadora, pasa que la AI no necesita cálculos nuevos, recoge y repite lo que ve, lee, le escriben y se lo queda.

This former professional chili farmer/breeder is proud of you guys. If you ever get inspired and have a sunny window or can move a plant in and out for freezing weather, try one of the C. pubescens varieties. These are very hot, high altitude varieties that produce all year and like coastal environments. Here in the PNW they can produce all winter if they don't freeze. They produce fruit in cooler weather than C. annum.
They are colloquially known as "manzano" or "rocoto" and you'll know you've gotten the right thing if the seeds are black. Cuttings from your local chilihead will work too.

@swick I'm taking the liberty of removing a few people from the mentions, in case they don't want to keep watching this subthread. I feel I should do this because I started this subthread. I'm OK with staying on the thread myself, unless you think it would be better to remove me since I'm a relative outsider to the space (I'm working on a protocol extension for accessibility).
I hope this can be resolved peacefully so all the compositor developers can work together on common goals.
