Probably! Edit: actually, yes: https://www.amentumcareers.com/jobs/search?country_codes[]=AQ&page=2&query=Antarctica

That was two different things, I was checking if there are any fun offers there and found this one. I wouldn’t start my plumbing career in -40C

I guess poop needs to go somewhere, too

This, I remember that some 20 years ago when going to the Antarctica for a PhD seemed like a good idea, I found a job where they were looking for a plumber. The pay was insane at that time

There was a related podcast recently somewhere, the idea was that evolutionary lungs come from guts, so maybe guts would still have some ability to absorb oxygen, which, turns out, they indeed do. This could have some practical uses e.g. in intensive care situations where the patient’s lung is useless (extreme COVID), which could give a last resort breathing opportunity while the lungs heal to a usable condition. Furthermore it gives a shitton of opportunity for butt jokes

Or too much. Exactly my thought

Wasn’t that a phdcomics strip originally?

Don’t know those, also, stopped doing night shifts (mostly) :)

I miss the old Yahoo games site where during night shift you could play Canasta with probably some retired folks from the other side of the world

But what do you do if that field is needed? A throwaway address won’t work as it’s easy to recreate. Buy your own domain and run a server?

Use justtherecipe.com - it will not only cut ads, but also the sob story about the writer’s grandmother and how they kept this thing a family secret for exactly 137 years until now.

Sure, there are transmitters without Bluetooth. I somehow preferred the SD card, as it would hold a few Gb of music and needed no internet connection. The only downside was if I was driving short trips only for a while, and it stuck with a 20-min long Deep Purple concert track every time :)

I think there was a 99% invisible podcast episode about that, it’s prison inmates. For some never-changed rule they are only allowed music on cassettes, so they are probably the target audience mainly.

Just a few years ago I had an old car with a cassette player/radio, and from time to time I enjoyed the cassette player with some leftover stuff, but in most cases I just used an FM transmitter
