Ammonia was first manufactured using the Haber process on an industrial scale in 1913 in BASF's Oppau plant in Germany, reaching 20 tonnes/day in 1914.[12] During World War I, the production of munitions required large amounts of nitrate. The Allied powers had access to large deposits of sodium nitrate in Chile (Chile saltpetre) controlled by British companies. India had large supplies too, but it was also controlled by the British.[13] Moreover, even if German commercial interests had nominal legal control of such resources, the Allies controlled the sea lanes and imposed a highly effective blockade which would have prevented such supplies from reaching Germany. The Haber process proved so essential to the German war effort[5][14] that it is considered virtually certain Germany would have been defeated in a matter of months without it. Synthetic ammonia from the Haber process was used for the production of nitric acid, a precursor to the nitrates used in explosives.

I didn't know that, neat!
Yes! But the joke seems to be that he's describing literal darkness, and then pivots to disturbing darkness.
s/lunar eclipse/new moon/
Lunar eclipses turn the moon a ruddy red color. New moon (opposite of a full moon) is darker.
Quarto is probably the most unique one I've seen so far. Thanks for the input.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Neat, thanks!
Will give that a look, thanks!
Thanks for the recommendation!
Openscad wanted about 25 gig of RAM to crunch this.
And remember.. it's not a race!
Started this morning. All of my personal tools like nextcloud and RSS reader were blocked, and I had to go manually override that screen for each one. Unacceptable.
Edit: I found it, apparently the list isn't ordered line-by-line, and sdfpubnix was just crammed beside another community name!
I'm not sure if that's a bug or not. I'm joined to the community, but for some reason it doesn't show up in the list with the other ones. Has this happened for anyone else?
To get here I currently click on @SDF in the "about us" sidebar, and then click sdfpubnix in that account's moderated communities list...
Hi,
When posting animated images, I see that the file is converted into .webm, but no thumbnail is generated. I'm curious if that's just me, or the case for others, or intentional.
I had a notification on the bell icon, and when clicking to open context for the item it returns a server error. Just FYI for the SDF crew.
I didn't know that aspect. Thanks for sharing.
