  • 100% true there.

    As a 20 year user I can’t imagine using something else as easily. My partner, who’s been using it for less than a month, also has a great time with it.

    Back when I was still learning though I broke it quite a few times mucking about where I didn’t belong and copy-pasting commands I didn’t understand into the terminal.

    Remember kids, if you don’t understand what you’re reading, you can break things by following instructions.




  • Hon I think you maybe misunderstood your chem class.

    Carbon is carbon is carbon and doesn’t know or care if it’s in a living body.

    Carbon-14 has a half life of 5700 years. This means that through random decay, the approximate rate of decay is one half of a given amount every 5700 years, this of course breaks down when you reach the single-digit quantities of atoms.

    Now, this has nothing to do with the stability of an atom of regular-ass carbon-12, your common garden variety carbon, which is extremely stable and would require outside influence to decay into another isotope.
