1. Russia's invasion of Ukraine disrupted Europe's established natural gas supply.

2. Europe needed more gas from alternative suppliers, including Algeria.

3. Algeria sent more gas through its pipeline to Spain rather than processing as much gas into LNG at Arzew.

4. Less gas passed through the LNG process that made helium recovery economical.

5. Helium production fell, even though the underground gas deposits could still contain helium.

Scroll down to FAQ, and expand the first question: Is the use of a Bob cassette mandatory?

LE: It's also mentioned in the rewind project's README.

> Credit where credit's due, Daan Tech didn't completely lock down the machine with Bob cassettes. Once empty, you can leave it there and add detergents manually.

First of all, the cassettes are returnable. This is also mentioned on their website. * https://daan.tech/discover-bob-cassette/

> Each Bob cassette is returnable and reusable. We refill them and put them back on the market. Close the loop, lower your carbon footprint.

You're also NOT required to use the cassettes. You can just throw standard dishwasher tablets in. This is mentioned in Bob's manual, and probably on the website as well. I've been doing this for years and had no issue. There is no DRM-like aspect to Bob.

And finally, it's not a worse washing machine as you say, it's just smaller and more flexible (wrt plumbing), and as Techmoan mentions in his intro, this is a very strong advantage of Bob for people living in small European apartments.

Not totally unheard of. Sounds a bit like OpenAI for the most part.

While competing with browsers bundled with operating systems. A bit of nuance.

Prettier will affect your diff in ways you didn't intend to.

Remove a member from a destructuring assignment that brings it below the line length limit, and suddenly your diff is +1/-5 instead of 0/-1, making it slightly more difficult for your reviewer to see what the exact difference is between those 5 lines removed and 1 line added - it's not immediately clear which member was removed.

You try to rewrite a previous commit to fix a typo using Git's interactive rebase, and now the next commits won't replay on top if it because Prettier decided to reformat an entire code block.

Another fun thing to try with prettier: add a precommit hook that runs prettier, and then try to stage partial file changes.

No thanks.

And I dislike YouTube's hostile ad escalation in recent years. One ad - fine, two ads - hmmm, three ads - what the hell. Unskippable ads. Inappropriate ads. Loud-ass eardrum ripping ads. Ads even on Premium.

No, this is not a joke. I wipe the same as pre 2020. I had a couple of pay raises since then, but I still buy the same amount of TP, and the price is still 50% higher than before.

Will the tipping point where no more wealth can be attained become the catalyst for a long-overdue revolution, leading humanity on a path towards a more just and sustainable future, or will it mark the beginning of an irreversible descent into chaos and despair?

Our video player has a specific use case where it needs to run at 10x speed. At some point we started seeing decoder underflow issues in Chrome. After banging my head against it for a couple of days, I discovered that setting playbackRate to something just below 10, like 9.9 would make the issue disappear. We didn't have a hard requirement to have it play at exactly 10x, and I didn't want to spend more time on the issue, so I left a descriptive comment next to the fix. Our team now refers to this as "the Warp 10 workaround".
