I was looking for similar answers and just couldn’t figure out what really mattered. Then I used this site: Distro Chooser

It asks a lot of questions, but I think they nailed the best choice for my needs and preferences.

The Great Tech Heist - How "Disruption" Became a Euphemism for Theft in c/[email protected]

It's not "disruption through innovation" it's "disruption through having a bottomless war chest of other people's money to throw on the fire of your economic arson."

And it’s now coming to a government near you!

In experiments at Stanford University, chemists discovered that microdroplets in fine sprays of water generate streaks of “microlightning”. When surrounded by the right mix of gases, these sparks power chemical reactions that synthesise many molecules for life.

Prof Richard Zare, a chemist who led the team, said: “This is a real contribution to understanding how you can go from non-life to life. You have water sprays all over the place, particularly around rocks, and there are crevices in rocks where these chemicals can accumulate.”

Season 3 so far is subpar compared to the first two seasons. The characters just aren’t very engaging. The Ratliffs are supposed to be southern but Jason Isaacs somehow sounds Australian. Hopefully the new arc with Rick makes the ride worth it.

Aggrievement is the central tenet of these people. They imagine it everywhere and never accept reality.
