Don't let babies near magnets....

A scale should be in ever dull man's kitchen.

Hey, same boat dull man, who built this thing anyways?

I really just want to be able to search discussions....

Maybe also not have the mouse disappear when browsing my library.

And have an option to disable the on screen keyboard popping up on text box entry when I have a physical keyboard attached, maybe just an option to have a macro command to bring up the on screen keyboard at all...

Still love my deck and I'm excited for the gabecube.

That's like what my understanding of fubar was, face unrecognizable, belay any response.

Thanks Dad.

Combined with a pretty bad case of face blindness led me to telling a fellow classmate a professor was "fubar" in public....

Analytical chemist.

Educated in Marine biology, started work on the dock that developed my ability to handle bizarre hours and self motivation, used the bizarre hours to get a harvest gig in wine making cellar work where I learned to grind, used my grind and bizarre hours to do some commercial electrical installation, then did some electric meter reading where I learned the importance of attention to detail, used all of the above skills to become a winery lab technician where I got experience working with high functioning lab equipment, wanted to get away from wine so now I'm a chemist.

Life is good. I've been more underpaid at every step of the way, but I feel that's allowed me to function with less stress at every step of the path.

What wouldn't be?

Something as simple as flipping on a device with a light switch would seen like witchcraft.

Want to know what time it is in the dark of the morning? reliable time keeping might be possible in a house, but certainly not in a bedroom, and certainly not millisecond-accurate or observable in the dark.

I think the only thing they wouldn't be impressed with is alcohol consumption, but even then we have a variety, production scale and safety level they couldn't fathom.

And the capitalist overlords will readily trot out these points and claim we live like nobility from the 1600s while sapping us of our every free moment and waking thought. Forgive my turning this political

So as a country we're okay with our elected officials being censored by the government?

I just want to hear someone say that. Because I'm not.

I'm crying, and I'm not ashamed of it.

I have a para-social relationship with an Internet cartoonist and his life partner, that part I'm kinda ashamed of, but the tears are genuine happiness, and have I really been following him for over 15 years? There's some sadness in those tears, but they're covered by the happy ones

I think that's only as correct as you narrow your lense to make it.

Children incur many more expenses.

Adding an adult only increases the total 60$, adding children increases it 190$, obviously children are more expensive.

Maybe it's a lesser known cover/lift of an 80s song?

Sinead O'Connor Nothing compares to you?

 

I'm kinda devastated, I'd been keeping a list of places my wife and I have been wanting to eat at across the world. I know a bunch of tabs with Google searches isn't a great way to keep a list, but it was what I was doing.

They were moved into "archived tabs" whenever that became a thing, and now I've just learned there was a change that defaulted archived tabs into being removed after so many days of inactivity.

I don't know when this went into effect, and I don't know how I'd search my history to find a bunch of closed Google searches, but if anyone has any ideas when this change went into effect so I could narrow my search, or any ideas on how to bring back dead groups of tabs, I could really use some assistance. Until then I'm just going to scroll through my history... Which feels so futile.

Edit to add: I had even named the tab group, I searched in the history for the tab group name and was unsuccessful.

 

19 states have "no more changing the clocks" laws passed, but aren't allowed to do so without approval of the federal government?

It's pretty obvious you can just do what you want these days, consequences are trivial to non-existent, so why don't we just not change our clocks? (or change them and not change them back, whatever floats your boat)

 

I've been a subscriber to humble choice since day 1.

I went back through the last 2 years of bundles (average about 1.5 activations per month) and added games to my account.

Next time I get the urge to buy something "because it's on sale" I'll go back and add things I've already paid for.

 

I've seen a few articles about neutrinos recently, high energy ones, super fast ones, ones from open space, others from "sources", and my understanding of the particle is that it's very hard to detect, passes through light-years of lead without interaction, etc. don't headings and speed require multiple readings to make? How do we know the velocity of a neutrino when we can only detect them at single points?

 

""Vera Rubin offers an excellent example of what can happen when more minds participate in science," was changed to replace "more" with "many," altering the meaning from emphasizing the need for diverse perspectives to simply highlighting a high number of people."

 

My understanding is the researcher took Gaia probe information and looked at "wide binary stars" (not sure what defines wide, but there must be a ton of them), within 650 light years of earth. They found the ones that accelerate the least (relative to each other? Rotationally?) are, and this is where I get confused, moving more efficiently around each other than their faster counterparts?

This discrepancy is postulated to be due observations of the stars acting in different physics models based how much they're accelerating relative to each other?

If this is correct (and the researcher is very transparent with their methods and using public data) would this up-end our models as much as I think it would? There's probably a lot of things interacting with other things at very low relative acceptable throughout the universe. Or is this just highlighting a truth we already knew, that there's a difference between the quantum and relative universes that we're now able to roughly put a scale to?

I've added to my questions since lemmy has been down, what in the world does this paragraph mean? "Also, unlike other studies Chae calibrated the occurrence rate of hidden nested inner binaries at a benchmark acceleration."

While doing some you tubing about this (thanks lemmy.world down time) I discovered Sabine hossenfelder, who I think is becoming one of my favorite science communicators I recommend anyone wondering about anything science to check her out https://youtube.com/@SabineHossenfelder

 

I started watching Dr who when the reboot was 3 seasons in, I think David Tennant was the greatest doctor. A few years later I finally got wife to give it a shot as I started a fresh rewatch in preparation for Matt Smith's second season, she was ok with Eccelston and Tennant but Matt Smith is far and away her favorite doctor. Does this pattern hold true for any other Dr fans?
