Do we have any estimates as to how long it takes for a species of bacteria to go technically extinct entirely via genetic drift?
So, let’s say there’s a species of bacteria that is known to dwell in Greek yogurt. How long would it take before that species of yogurt-dweller only has modern descendants different enough to qualify as one or more new species?

In Air Conditioners, what are EERs and how can I use it to calculate my electricity costs.
On non-Inverter ACs, I only need to use the power input (e.g. 800W) to calculate my energy cost for a 12-hour usage. (800*12/1000 = 9.6kW-hr)...

Search of the Perfect Self-Hosted Setup for B2B Contractors
Hey everyone!...
I just learned an interesting piece of gaming history that most people might not know about. (Xbox Live Arcade on original Xbox)
I just learned that Xbox Live Arcade was a service that first started on the original Xbox, not Xbox 360. You had to order a disc online that would let you access the XBLA store. Here’s the wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_Live_Arcade...
Annotations for *Star Trek: Discovery* 5x05: "Mirrors" (SPOILERS):
The title of the episode, of course, pretty much telegraphs which parallel universe we’re likely to have elements of this week. The Mirror Universe was a major part of Season 1 of DIS, and the Mirror Philippa Georgiou was a supporting character through the first 3 seasons....

Is there a Google Timeline alternative with feature parity?
I use the location tracking of Google Maps/Google Timeline constantly for work, and it’s exceedingly helpful to know when I was at certain cities, buildings, etcetera. Of course, this means I’m basically signing my soul away to Google. But I can’t really find any alternative location tracking apps, even though I would have...
What's the song with the repeated lyrics "after the rain again, after the rain again"?
It’s a classic techno song that might be described as euro trance. I think I’ve heard the song but I’m asking for a friend. It might be an instance of the Mandela effect because the song can’t seem to be found anywhere.

[Canon EOS-T5] Photos viewable on camera are not visible on desktop (EndeavourOS)
My partner and I both have digital cameras. Hers is a Canon EOS Rebel-T5, and mine is an Olympus Tough TG-6. Both cameras will create subdirectories within the /DCIM/ folder, formatted as 10*CANON or 10*OLYMP. We’ve shared SD cards on occasion, and neither camera has had any issues with just creating a new directory to match...
Log dilemma; seeking your input
I have a small dilemma regarding logging a QSO, and I’m wondering if you can guide me through it. I made a contact the other day while doing POTA, but I did not capture the entire callsign. The error was only revealed after I saw their re-spot on the POTA site; if it weren’t for that small glimpse, I would never know, and...
