I knew an old apple tree something like that. The rotten cut limb was a few feet higher though. The thing looked bad, with a gaping hole, but somehow it just kept going. Mostly it didn't produce hardly any apples, but every 4 or 5 years or so for some reason it would be loaded with big decent enough cooking apples. It was always covered in ants. It was a great tree for climbing too, despite the ants.andnl caterpillars. Hard to imagine anything killing that tree, even if it was mostly useless and a bit on the ugly side, and looked like it might die every year. Eventually the property was sold to some rich people. They blasted away the outcropping of granite close by, and razed the old house, cleared a bunch more of the land to make room for a monstrous "cottage" just where that big old apple tree always had been. So it goes.

Anyhow don't listen to me. Take the advice of the arborist and plant some new trees, and let that one go when the time is right if it doesn't leave you first. But also don't underestimate a tree's ability sometimes to deal with crazy circumstances and keep going perhaps longer than they should have.

The short International Science Council post says:

As conflict escalates in the region, the Swedish-Iranian disaster medicine scholar remains wrongfully imprisoned and sentenced to death.

April 2026 marks ten years since Dr Ahmadreza Djalali’s arrest in Tehran by Iranian authorities. He has been denied due process and access to medical care, and has endured extreme treatment, isolation, and repeated threats of imminent execution. Dr Djalali’s case is one of the most urgent unresolved instances of Iran’s wrongful imprisonment and politically motivated hostage-taking of Western-linked academics.

Just about any song by Jesse Welles these days...

A few examples:

Looks like a slightly fancier "poor man's chocolate cake" variation. By fancier I mean uses apple sauce and soy milk. So fancy! Which is great. By all means if you need a cake and have applesauce this is probably excellent.

But also it's kind of awesome.

Because this is an extortion scheme, not a military engagement.

Interesting description of the relationships, but no hint as to the content of the proposed plan.

The suspect told investigators he was "hoping to meet the ambassador to tell him to refrain from making hardline remarks, and if that request was rejected, I wanted to surprise him by killing myself", the Yomiuri Shimbun reported, citing unnamed sources.

Tap for spoiler

"Biologists from Ghent University in Belgium looked at platypus melanosomes—specialized pigment-bearing organelles inside cells—under an electron microscope. To their surprise, they discovered that the melanosomes were hollow and spherical. Previously, only birds were thought to possess hollow melanosomes, which produce more vibrant iridescent colors in their plumage."

The slowest weakest face punch in history, but sure.

Yes, it is sort of miraculous! And it may serve you well, as long as you're careful with it. Many cyclists do not favour using it with bikes because it is not a very good long lasting lubricant and will interfere with better lubricants. Some are nervous about it particularly around greased bearings such as a bottom bracket, where it might get in there and compromise seals and good grease. That being said, it is a pretty great product for cleaning and short term lubing stuff in my opinion. Just got to be careful and aware of limitations. However, not sure it's worth the size of a can for touring. Might depend on a bunch of factors such as type and location and duration of tour. As much as I personally like the stuff it would not be high on my priority list. But you do you! Have fun, however you decide.

Writing was on the wall for dancers when Fortnite took thier moves. This is just the last nail in the coffin. It's official : human dancers are obsolete (except childten if in service of making robots cuter and less threatening).

There was a massive spike that fairly quickly settled down. I don't know where these people went. But things have been fairly stable post volume with but some slow new user decline over the last 6-8 months.

I used to use earlyoom on an old laptop and it worked well for my purposes.

I hear there is a systemd-oomd, but I never tried it.

Edit: sorry I misread your post to be about memory rather than CPU. Too early on the morning for my brain to work.

FoR those asking about sample and confounders....

"The study involved 105,614 women in California with an average age of 53 at the start of the study"

"The study had limitations – it looked only at women, and participants reported their own diet data – but independent experts suggested the findings were significant."

I like both instances.

Notice the quote says "build on the ATProtocol", not "build on BlueSky". It could be argued that the more this is done the less defacto power BlueSky will have. And people are doing it. Some examples are listed in the Wikipedia article, but there are more.
