Page 28 explains that it’s based on which animals appear to suffer:

Hypoxia produced by N2 and Ar appears to reduce, but not eliminate, aversive responses in pigs. […]

Advantages—(1) Nitrogen and Ar do not appear to be directly aversive to chickens or turkeys, and the resulting hypoxia appears to be nonaversive or only mildly aversive to these species. Similarly, N2 and Ar gas mixtures do not appear to be directly aversive to pigs and appear to reduce, but not eliminate, the behavioral responses to hypoxia. […]

General recommendations—Hypoxia resulting from exposure to Ar or N2 gas mixtures is acceptable with conditions for euthanasia of chickens and turkeys. Likewise, hypoxia resulting from Ar or N2-CO2 gas mixtures is acceptable with conditions for euthanasia of pigs, provided animals can be directly placed into a < 2% O2 atmosphere and exposure times > 7 minutes are used. Use of Ar or N2 is unacceptable for other mammals. […]

As an aside, I wonder if a PCB (Penenetrative Captive Device) has ever been designed for humans, considering it is recommended over firearms for animals.

By that I meant from the perspective that the initial allegations still felt like it could all just be a misunderstanding. Now that it has been donated, it seems to be more a matter of who at Open Hand was actually in the know (since it is possible that Jirard geniunely was being misled himself), and why the money wasn’t being donated. The golf tournament stuff definitely feels much more circumstantial since it is based on extrapolation. Overall it does seem like the IRS getting involved is going be the only way definitive evidence of what was actually going on will come out.

Not that it isn’t a lot, but the 3.2 trillion figure is a total, not an average; that gives an average of only 8 billion per person. Going off Wealth Shown to Scale, Bezos’ wealth could be equally spread among at least 23 people, and they’d all still be in the top 400.

W.r.t. mouse controls, having a bit of mouse acceleration can make it a lot easier to balance accuracy and being able to turn around.

Search bars for settings are pretty great, especially when they match against alternate names for the same option.

No idea why he had the gun, but for context, California defines large capacity as anything more than 11 rounds, which makes many standard handgun magazines large capacity.

The linked article does provide calculations. The main assumption for such a short prediction appears to be that the rate of energy consumption will continue to grow exponentially, which to me seems unsustainable regardless of the production method.

Minetest and Mindustry are two of my favourites. It’s a bit complicated to find a good combination of Minetest mods though.
