Historically unpaid commute originated before urban sprawl, car culture and a massive spike in population, it’s been grandfathered in, but it’s absolutely theft in the current environment, whether the job can be done at home or not. Posit 1 hr commute either way, that’s 10hrs a week, and should probably get hazard loading as well. When unpaid commute originated it was more like 10-15 minutes walk per day.

One of the most significant and efficient policy changes to combat CO2 and other pollutants would be to legislate paid commuting (with just protection against discrimination for both employee and employer). Just watch every employer WFH everyone who can doing the obvious, not to mention improved quality of life, local services and being hugely popular. Expect one hell of a fight.

Yup, soldered battery no biggie, critical security flaw, no internet for you…

They then compared biological age with the total cumulative temperature that participants were probably exposed to on the basis of their address in the two years before their medical visit.

Gonna call that tenuous, thin even. Would look at the paper, but fucking paywalls.

You seem to be assuming that the volume is immediately replaced by the external atmosphere, which I doubt is valid, more likely that the volume of the person would decrease, at least temporarily. The weight of 1 Liter (assuming a massive fart) of air is 1.275g according to wolfram, so, using your density numbers above, 1.275 * 1.06/1.2 = 1.126g lighter. Measurable with a really good scale, if the 90ml fart volume is realistic (has to be more realistic I guess), that’s ~.1g,

Think of yourself as a hot air balloon with a very tiny chamber, and when you release a 90 milliliter fart, you lose a little buoyancy and sink a little. You get heavier when you fart.

No, you get denser, but not heavier.

Perhaps a poisoning the well attack on AI scrapers?

Old chains stretch, the chain meter just measures the stretch. You just need to find the size of a chain meter. IIRC there’s specifications for KMC/shimano chains somewhere, I think it varies by gear count as well (so some chain meters may not work for some chains). Been a while since I did it.

Get/use digital calipers, more versatile…

Flip up ones, as long as you’re not vain (which you aren’t with clipons anyway), solve this problem nicely. Go for polarized, oleophobic too…
