Yeah, just get a tester. In reality the weight difference is immeasurably small (like completely swamped by dust particles)

It’s “yes, but not rest mass.” - light has energy and energy is mass. (Specifically m=E/c²)
In theory a sensitive enough scale could measure the difference between a charged battery and a drained one* without the battery gaining or losing any matter. Not even electrons, since each one leaving the negative end is replaced by one going in the positive end, and vice versa when charging. This is the type of mass light has, just pure energy.
*I did the math a while back and if I remember right for a typical AA size Ni-MH battery the difference would be about the weight of a bacterium.

It works fine whether or not the letters are rotated (but that does change if it goes up-to-down or down-to-up)


Formic acid is named after the scientific name for ants, and is also known as “ant acid” because they make it.
That’s probably the sour part of the taste you described, since acids tend to be. (Think citric or vinegar)

That’s exactly what the article I linked was about.

Oh sure, I am sure they weren’t saying humanity would last that long (although technology may help), just ‘any plants’.

I recently saw an estimate of around 2 billion more years.

I think civilization in its current form may end, and with it billions of people, but as a species we are pretty adaptable, I think there will be lots of survivors and they will be able to thrive eventually.
But I think it’s even more likely that there won’t be any one big collapse, and things will either oscillate or reach a steady equilibrium for millennia to come.

I can’t do it I just make too many mistakes and would look like a teenager ki never even typed life that add a ten actually)
Actual gambling (in actual Las Vegas): around $10.
Stock market: Considerably more. (But not recently) We were doing quite well there until we weren’t.
Yes, I just tried it. In Termux you would have the on-screen keyboard up nearly all the time anyway but both browsers I mentioned allow tapping on links, etc. (But w3m seems to require pressing Enter on the keyboard to confirm navigating to them)

Aller-Tec or AllerClear from Costco, also Aller-Flo (the generic Flonase spray they have.)
Lynx or w3m or something in Termux? (Installing Termux would be best somewhere you can get faster internet, like a library or business, etc)
