    Best way to resize images?

    I need to copy some images and then process them some how and get the field size down to 50kb without losing the detail when I resize them. Is this possible and if so how best to do it? They are only simple cut and paste images of ECGs, nothing too fancy. I just need to keep the detail though...

    Wood burner- explain the science of...

    Someone with knowledge of such things. I wonder if there is an explanation to how wood burners behave when you have removed all of their ash bed? On a basic glance you would think- no ash means better airflow to the fuel in general, but if you remove the ash bed from a fire, how come it...

    2 stroke oils...

    For some reason I've fallen down a rabbit hole on this and I find it interesting in a bizarre way I can't explain.

    Twitter is...toast.

    I think we can all finally agree that spending 44 billion bucks to cast twitter into the internet graveyard and ridding humanity of it forever was probably a worthwhile move. Hope investors got their cash out first though. I will miss the wit of Jeff Tiedrich though...

    Large herbivores coming back from extinction to combat climate change...

    I thought this may interest those here who believe that large herds of herbivores could play a huge role in combatting climate change, or, more accurately, help reduce the effect of anthropomorphic CO2 releases.
