Mirepoix! You can also swap the carrot for bell pepper to get the Cajun equivalent

As I understand it - with the disclaimer that I have no particular expertise or experience in the matter - it’s not quite as dire as that. Historically the USA accounted for basically the entire world’s production, and American reserves that are known and economical to access are getting within something like 50 years of running out. However, other countries have begun to produce much more substantially in recent years, and we probably do have enough to last a good while once the rest of world reserves are accounted for

However it is still functionally non-renewable and meaningfully finite, so we shouldn’t waste it

Spirit in the Sky specifically is a fuzz running on a near-dead battery, so it’s a bit of an odd one. I think the broad approach to the sound is fairly popular though. Stone Foxes come to mind as an example

There’s some research done on aerogel airships. There’s still hope

Helium has problems of its own, sadly. Besides being a little bit less effective at actually lifting, it’s relatively scarce on Earth and it leaks even faster than hydrogen

Sometimes stuff is just popular for a good reason. I love loads of different styles of guitar, but I think my favourite heavy riff is probably the chorus one starting at 2:02 in Saor’s Children of the Mist

Or maybe Flying Whales because, I mean, it’s Flying Whales

Presumably because it’s Amazon doing it. It is quite reasonable to have a general level of distaste and suspicion for tha company

I think that’s an error on the AP’s part, since the area prior to this was about 87 sq mi (from the census). Also, anything less than 73 sq mi would mean that adding 73 more would “more than double” it; if it was 72 sq mi and you added 73, that’s a 101% increase, or more than double

Still, anything on the order of “less than 100 sq mi” is pretty damn tiny. If it was an independent country it’d be only a little bigger than San Marino

This is probably a lot heavier on the technical grammar than you need, but here is the relevant wikipedia page if you want it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dummy_pronoun

Basically English (along with other Germanic languages and a whole bunch of others) doesn’t like having a verb by itself without something to do the verb, so we just put “it” in as a sort of placeholder. The “it” isn’t anything, but the grammar wants there to be something there

Might just be that it’s what the operators were already familiar with. I’ve never used either; is there some reason that Ardupilot would be bad rather than just overkill for this use?

Sounds like those targeting restrictions being dropped is making a difference

We already saw what they do, it’s what they did to Imane Khelif

cos that’s a great name, next question

Isn’t RPS “meant” to be a game rather than a way to decide randomly between two options? There’s an element of skill involved since you can attempt to avoid playing patterns and identify patterns in your opponent’s play in repeated rounds

The Elder Scrolls is probably the one I’ve had the most fun theory-crafting about, but I will admit that you have to pick and choose what to care about.

Also the old Wipeout racing games had a remarkable amount of background plot going on that was really pretty fun. The self-awareness to poke fun at Fusion’s poorly-received changes as being the in-universe result of megacorp meddling for mass market appeal gave me a good laugh, but you can piece together a surprising amount of the world from random references in team flavour text
