- >I don't think Facebook is constitutionally able to give up ad revenue gains
This "fiduciary duty" meme really needs to die.
Seriously the idea of fiduciary duty [to maximixe profit] is dystopian, corporations don't fuck us over because they have to they do it because they can.
Edit: clarify
- I worded it poorly (and it wasn't really anything worth saying in the context of COVID), but:
A population with 5% naturally-induced/80% vaccine-induced immunity might see more spread of a new variant than a population with 25%/60%, however the total outcomes would still be better in the first population; so "less protected" was definitely the wrong thing to say.
Naturally-induced immunity for COVID is stronger because it targets more than just the spike protein, and it presumably[0] grants better mucosal immunity than our current vaccines induce, but of course the risk/cost of natural infection is very high.
- There's a 52-home community in Alberta that provides ~all of their winter heating by storing heat in the ground throughout the summer:

It gets up to nearly 80C, but took a few years of operation to get there.
The website covers it really well and I'd recommend checking it out.
- I've spliced chunks together using sh, dd, and xxd before to resurrect my gf-at-the-time's wolf.
I've also been meaning to play psuedo-multiplayer with my friends by us each claiming a region in a seed. Each region being 32x32 chunks and saved to a separate file (.mca), you can just drop their latest region into your world folder to see what they've been up to, or play on LAN and send it back after.
