I'm too lazy to verify my hunch, but I'm guessing Texas is largely oil (exploiting natural resources), whereas California is largely intellectual output (tech, with some Hollywood and other sundry stuff), though California certainly does exploit its natural resources too (good farming conditions, some oil...).

It's a pretty standard bandwidth/latency tradeoff in my view: email is high bandwidth (it's in writing, you can re-read, etc.), whereas phone is low latency (several back-and-forth explanations can happen in seconds). Each has its place.

If social anxiety is a factor, that's a perfectly valid, but separate, issue.

Well, yeah


dude's brake cables are missing!

Yeah, though it looks like the cyan (which would be ~500nm) is actually false color UV image, judging by the same color scale as this https://www.nasa.gov/image-detail/5-3-2024_sdo_x1pt6_flare_131/

Can we please not do this on Lemmy? Pun comment threads are just the wurst.

Sawyer filter inline with a camelback is awesome. I'd just fill up my camelback in a stream using a (clean) handkerchief to get the large debris out and then let the filter do the rest.

In my head it was definitely Cave.

Some numbers are missing...[due to] out of memory error.

The S7+ seems to have 6 or 8GB RAM, but the iPhone 7 only has 2, yet it seems the iPhone ran the test and the S7+ didn't. I wonder if the iOS implementation is that much better, or Android isn't set up with any swap, or...?

Human gestation is 10 months

"Full term" pregnancy is ~40w from last menstrual period, or ~38w from conception. There are ~4.345 weeks/month, putting full term at ~8.75 to ~9.2 months. Note the 9.2 months includes ~2 weeks before fertilization.

(Not sure if I'm being whooshed or not...)

Because not all humans strive for honor.
