m•Hz ~ m/s with implied periodicity, mHz would be milliherz

At Harvard and beyond, thermodynamics (yes, that’s right) can ease the political divide
What a self-impressed way to say that openness and contact with people of different beliefs are more likely to make you change your own beliefs.

Climate quitting: the people leaving their fossil fuel jobs because of climate change
Legitimately grappling with this now in the chemical industry. I don't work directly with petrochem, but my salary is essentially subsidised by plastics manufacturing, including cracker technology. Can I somehow move the needle toward better technologies in a fundamentally conservative sunk-cost asset-based industry? Or, am I better off quitting, trying to find a new job while being legally barred from talking about work-related accomplishments, and hoping the whole thing somehow goes under on its own? It keeps me up at night.

Dienstmeldung: Cannabisbesitz könnte auch nach dem 1.4. für einige Zeit indirekt strafbar sein [Nachtrag]
So geht's häufig auch in den USA. Bundesstaatlich mag es "legal" sein, Cannabis zu besitzen oder zu konsumieren, aber einige örtlichen Polizei/Anwaltschaften/Beamter tun ihr Bestes, um es de facto unmöglich zu machen, dass man sich in so einer Lage befinden kann, ohne gegen irgendwelches andere Gesetz verstoßen zu haben.

Beautiful redesign of the Proton VPN app for Android
Disappointed that they got rid of the random server button (unless I'm blind?). It made getting around VPN detectors a lot easier.

No-so-silent Spring
Related: AC. I live in an apartment complex in which each unit has a shitty, absurdly loud AC unit. Come 17 °C and one jackass ruins it for everyone else who might to sit outside or have their windows open. Between that and landscaping....

By convention, compound SI units (e.g. N•m) are separated by a space or multiplication dot and are not just smashed together. The lack of such a separator in the above example implies the "milli" prefix.

While we're intentionally avoiding the joke, a space should be placed between the number and the unit, preferably a non-breaking one.

What's your secret ingredient that makes your version of a common dish better than anyone else's?
I don't know about "better", but I've been experimenting with adding bitter chocolate to my indian curries. The thinking being, some masalas are a bit like mole if you squint (yes, I know most moles don't actually contain chocolate). Balancing out the bittersweetness has been challenging, especially given that the tomatoes I can get around here are already quite sweet. It also affects how much lemon juice or amchoor is needed. I'm not quite convinced yet that it's a good idea lol.

I had to double check the word for rust in Polish thinking surely that it must be a typo, but no. Rdza is indeed rust in Polish. Kurwa język.
Edit: apparently a lot of other Slavic languages are similar, e.g. the equivalent of rżawczyna in Russian (don't have a Russian keyboard). Kurwa języki.

I occasionally get IP blocked with Proton. Previously I just toggled the random button a few times until it let me through, but Proton seems to have removed that in the latest update for no readily apparent reason.

Yeah, cocoa powder is what I am planning for the next attempt. I keep forgetting to pick some up at the supermarket. Coffee sounds interesting, though I'm typically not a fan.
