Since this is going to be a great pass time for geekids, wanted to throw in a few resources for completeness:

Windtunnel to test: https://www.instructables.com/id/Paper-aeroplane-wind-tunnel...

Project form: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project...

Another page with slightly different features: https://www.origamiway.com/paper-airplanes.shtml

I thought this was a fantastic eggcorn[1], until I realized that it is the actualy origin of the word 'pastime'. So, it sort of is, but isn't at the same time.

Thanks for introducing me to a new linguistic trivia!


Def'ly a great relief for my eye strain - using it during the day too and keeping on by default. One annoyance is that Chrome needs to let the address bar be darkened as well as it stands out like a neon tube when Dark Reader is on.


I just use a dark chrome theme with it to get around that issue.


Funny enough, I was actually searching for a ToDo app 'that-does all' one more time after fixing on one three months ago. The issue I generally see with Todo lists are that they are one part of a very nuanced workflow. For eg. I often get worked up choose between a ToDo app or a Note app when I still working on the details. Currently settled on Trello for a multi-modal workflow of saving links, notes, keeping lists of tasks classified by stages is feeling good. But I miss a good mobile app, markdown support and easy creation and maintenance. Any suggestions?!


I honestly use Wunderlist because I just need something bare bones simple. Trello might honestly be your best option if you are looking to do stuff like custom values etc.


Wunderlist definitely looks cool and impressive with apps for all platforms - looks like a cure for Notes taking on Mac + Android users.


It sure is an interesting time for melding computational advancements with medical use cases. The reason that the cost decay can promulgate the previously missing disruption seems to be missing the bigger question of regulation in these fields.


Three Emergency protocols activated tonight to deal with the situation:

Plan multi attentats: Sudden surge of multiple situations

Plan blanc (in Île de France): surge of unpredictable activity of a hospital

Plan rouge: when there are significant casualties in a small area


The prevailing laws and rights in an Emergency Situation are gist'ed here: https://gist.github.com/fasterthanlime/faa2ae629d22f325beb7

One important feature:

Closure of public places

  Minister of the Interior or the prefects may
  "order the temporary closure of theaters, pubs and meeting places" and 
  "meetings of nature to cause or maintain disorder"
Wondering how the above affects the Internet/Mobile networks, even though they weren't any reports of any throttling today.
