The calcium carbonate in hard water precipitates out when you boil it, i.e. it turns solid.
Microplastics make for great nucleation points for the calcium carbonate to latch onto. So, the microplastics became super easy to filter out of the water (with some getting stuck to the bottom of the kettle in that white scale that you have to use vinegar to clean out.

Maine doesn’t really have anyone “upstream”.
They literally go through the class schedule in each book. General studies are not in it.
There was Arithmancy, the Harry Potter wiki says that it was using numbers to predict the future. It was an elective and Harry didn’t take it.
The only other class that would have had math would be Astronomy, which was a required class for all students. The students are required to make star charts and such… Seems like rote memorization was the only thing taught. The wink says that the end of year 5 tests was filling in a blank star chart from memory.
They might get some English pointers in the dozens of essays they wrote, but since essays are graded on the length of the scroll… it becomes questionable.
To be fair, they’ve also earned that hatred. Several times over.
Basic used “else”.
It’s nice. “if”, “then”, and “else”. I spent a year programming a shitty roulette game on an Apple 2e back in high school. I still remember the joy of using if/then/else paired with goto to make a horrible mess of spaghetti logic.
But yeah, “else” is nice.
They aren’t on the same level of fraudulent bullshit, but they’re close.
Fingerprint matching is done “by eye” and often involves an “expert” saying that one smudge is a 100% match for another smudge.
DNA matching is the only forensic science that’s worth a damn, and only if it’s done correctly.
So I forever work on legacy systems.
Not ideal, but there’s quite a bit of job security in it.
A bit sad that it didn’t work out for you.
I know the classic “it’s worked fine for me” doesn’t help.
It uses the Arch based rolling release, so give it a few weeks and try again? Or not, if you find a distro you like before then.
Garuda is literally designed as a gaming distro.
It has auto installers for retro and modern gaming (emulators, Steam, Gog, etc.)
Part of the effort to keep third parties off the ballot is that you make shit infinitely worse.
It’s called the spoiler effect, and it fucks us over all the god-damn time.
Do not vote third party under our current electoral system.
You need to either work within the current system like the Progressives do, or work to change the system to one that doesn’t fuck people over if they vote third party.
If you want to get involved with actually doing that second thing, here’s a great place to start.
You don’t need a clean territorial split for a civil war. You just need clean lines of separation between different groups. There have been civil wars based on ethnic lines, religious lines, and even ideologies.
The wars without clear territory get messy. Like genocide messy.
Since flat earth nonsense is just rebranded creationism, the only being who really needs to be part of the conspiracy is satan.
Then anyone who tells you that the earth is round is either deceived by satan, or is a satan worshiper.
This makes it super easy to dismiss anything that would hint at reality, like ships sailing over the horizon.
Brother is the go to because their stuff is basic and functional.
All the other companies have “innovated” to the point where their shit is unusable for daily use.
Although, thanks to that somewhat bland accent being so prevalent on TV and in movies, regional accents are shifting to sort of match it. Especially in younger generations.
I’ve never actually had problems with Manuskript, but then I don’t write anywhere near as much as I tell myself I should.
I also once paid for Scrivener, back when I still used windows regularly.
I seem to have a history of looking for an interesting piece of writing software, and then using it to write a chapter or two, then nothing more.
Another fun writing program (that goes to the other UI extreme) is FocusWriter. I actually managed four or five chapters of a story using it.
A program that’s similar in many ways is Manuskript
I’d say it does exactly the same thing, except you just download it and go. There are linux, windows, and mac os versions.
Then for the closed source world, there’s Scrivener. I’ll not link it because it doesn’t support linux. But same concept.
Sentencing often comes with a Sentencing Investigation.
The Judge looks at past criminal records, evidence from the trial, motions from defense attorneys and prosecution and such. It all takes time.
The crypto bro is currently in jail awaiting the sentencing (and second trial with more charges against him) so it’s not like he’s walking around free.
It’s a two pronged attack.
It has always been a two pronged attack.
The rich assholes who want to fuck everyone over can’t just come out and say it, they need a Face to rile up the crowds, but that Face is a problem. The Face can turn on the rich fucks. Well, to an extent. They’re a useful charismatic fool, and possibly a danger to the rich, but mostly a danger to everyone else.
Anyway, the solution is to stand next to the fool king, and pass him “advice”. Like a list of judges to appoint. “Don’t think about it, we vetted these guys, and they love you”.
Then there’s the congressmen. “Don’t have time to write a bill? Well, we saved you the trouble. It even does some of the shit you’ve been ranting about, but mostly it makes us richer”.
And that’s how it goes. People like Leonard Leo, Peter Thiel, Joel Kaplan. They’re the brains.
They also funnel a shit-load of money into pushing their twisted ideologies.
