I am charging my laptop with one of the "quick charging" phone chargers right now, currently it says 5 hours until full charge. Does this wear out the battery faster or something? Or does it make no difference apart from taking a little bit longer?

AI generating slop resumes, AI selecting which of these resumes to recruit, amplifying gender, racial and other biases in the process. It all seems broken now. As a PhD student who will probably need to find a job next year, this is pretty terrifying.

Why are cardiac deaths skyrocketing in 25-44 year olds? Scientists found microplastics in human heart arteries - linked to heart attacks, strokes, and premature death. We're breathing, eating, and drinking plastic every day. But here's the real scandal - only 10% of plastic actually gets recycled. Big Oil has known this for decades.

Discover the explosive lawsuits against Exxon, Coca-Cola, and Pepsi that expose how plastic recycling was never a solution - just an excuse to produce more. Plus: what you can actually do about it featuring Judith Enck, from Beyond Plastics

Hi all! I wrote a small Python utility that scrobbles your iPod play history on last.fm. It is made for the newer iPod nanos (6th gen+) that I didn’t get to work with the existing projects. You can install it via the Python package manager Pip by running pip install ipodnano-scrobbler.

Tuli tässä yksi päivä illanvietossa vastaan amerikkalainen, joka halusi yllättää pari suomalaista kaveriaan järjestämällä yllätysjuhlat, joissa tarjoiltaisiin suomalaista ruokaa. Asun ulkomailla, ja olin siksi paras henkilö vastaamaan hänen kysymyksiinsä suomalaisesta ruuasta. Mutta olipas yllättävän vaikeaa.

Kysymys kuuluukin: mitä suomalaisia ruokia sinä suosittelisit? Minun oli erityisen vaikeaa keksiä hyviä suomalaisia ruokalajeja, jotka eivät kuuluisi paikalliseen ruokakulttuuriin myös täällä Ruotsissa. Karjalanpiirakat tuli siinä hetkessä mieleen, jälkeenpäin ehkä pinaattiletut.
