This is an often misunderstood aspect of the sun. The sun doesn't need to pull oxygen into itself to burn. It just does a bit of fusion magic!

When a star is dense enough it starts to fuse Helium together through a process called the "triple alpha process"; which results in Carbon! From there it's pretty direct for the star to fuse one more Helium to the Carbon via stellar nucleosynthesis to create Oxygen!

So you see, the Sun doesn't need to draw Oxygen from space. It just makes its own!

The picture for this article is vicious mockery of Christians everywhere!

How was anyone supposed to know that Christians secretly adopted long tables as a holy symbol and that gathering behind them is now a sin?

Biden doesn't control the fed. It's an independent entity.

This is something I'm currently struggling with. I rent a house and the roof is leaking in two different rooms. Problem is that last time I had the landlord do any repairs he increased my rent by $300 a month. I know that having a leaky roof is damaging his property, but it's only a minor inconvenience for me at the moment.

I'm not about to spend an extra $6,000+ a year just to preserve his property when I can keep it from bothering me with a tack, some string, and a pitcher for the water to go into.

Memmy has a broken implementation of instance filtering that currently needs to be configured on every startup, but it exists. Hopefully it will eventually be meaningfully functional. Precisely for the instance you mentioned.

For some people last in line is the best spot. Think about it: everyone else is getting pressure to get done and get out. No pressure for the last guy, and fewer people watching.

I recently built a 3D printer where the entire community for it lives on Discord. Their website instructions are horrifically out of date because all of the current changes have been discussed at some point on Discord. What should have been a 2-4 day project turned into a 2-3 week project due to the garbage involved in trying to strain information out of a massive multi-channel group chat with terrible search.

I’ve never connected my LG TV to the network and never will. It’s a display and nothing more for my media center PC and gaming consoles. This right here is precisely why that is.
