Here’s a really interesting article on how it was discovered that citrus would help. They were also able to preserve citrus and citrus juice with alcohol. They could also turn it into a concentrated syrup without too much loss of vitamin C.

From what I just read, they didn’t do this, but dried citrus, when dried at a cool temperature, retains the majority of its vitamin C.

A lot of the other light patches in this image are city lights.

More info from NASA here.

This is what we need! Less science, more militarized law enforcement!

Yeah, Robin hit me hard, too, but not as hard as Bourdain. I liked Robin more from when I was a kid while I identified with Bourdain as an adult. He inspired me to travel and is the reason I met my wife.

Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works was the guy’s name.

Hah, nope, I’m not sure why you would have gotten a notification about it, either. It should have only notified the guy I replied to.

I’m talking to the idiot who said that Ozzy was a “piece of shit” and doesn’t deserve to be mourned, not to you. My other comment was directed at you.

The celebrity that hit me like this was Anthony Bourdain. It sucks to lose someone who you identify with, even if you never met them.

Explain or fuck off. And probably fuck off anyway.

Huh, as a cis man, I didn’t know this was a thing.

I write code for a living. I certainly complain when I find a bug in one of my dependencies.

Would the six planets ever perfectly align with one another? That would be pretty cool if every so many years they all foed a line!

It might include infrared, but this instrument only has three visible channels (red, green, and blue) and one near-infrared band that is sensitive to methane at about 890nm. So, most of this would be visible light.

It looks like a lot of the work of bringing out the beauty of these images is done by citizen scientists. It would be interesting to find out what was done to produce this particular image.

I might try my hand at some of this, actually. My job is to do data processing for satellite imagery of the earth. I’m curious to learn more about what is being done here.

By Code do you mean VSCode? I use it all the time with VIM key bindings. It offers so much more than VIM with less finicky configuration. It’s the first IDE I’ve ever actually liked. Before now it was VIM or nothing.

At one point I had a plugin for MS Word that added vim key bindings because I kept leaving stray vim commands while editing other people’s documents.

Thank you for asking this. I’ve been wondering the same question for quite a while but have been too lazy to actually find the answer.

If I lived in Tokyo, though, I certainly wouldn’t want to be a 30+ minute walk from a train station. That makes leaving home a pretty big task.

What you said and your statement that “it’s a bit like grief” are dead on. I wasn’t kicked out by my parents, but I lost my dad when I was 27. I’m 40 now and still miss him but the feeling dwindles with time. I’ll always miss him but the impact of that feeling will always lessen as I gain more experiences. I suppose the same is true for any trauma of a similar magnitude. I imagine there are traumas that surpass the loss of parents in magnitude, though, and some of those may not pass in the same way.
