I only read the name of the post and was convinced for too long that they ate stray cats...
There's a lot you're saying that I agree with, but it's undeniable that sending weapons to Isreal is not solving this problem it's directly causing the problem. Biden is incredibly ineffective at solving this and is not holding any sort of red line for real. He needs to hold Isreal accountable for their actions. We have sent billions and billions of dollars of weapons to Isreal, and we likely aren't stopping anytime soon even if Kamala is elected. We need to hold their feet to the fire and show them this is unacceptable.
Wtf is wrong with you?
That and the crisis of masculinity in a machismo culture which is being actively used against them by idiots everywhere.
Good places to find textbooks?
Anyone have any advice for a nooby pirate trying to find some textbooks at the decent price of free-fiddy?
Too true, also what we call civility politics. I wouldn't be surprised if corporate backers prefer it that way.
Nice loaf 👍
I just watched Tim Pool say that traitors should get the death penalty yesterday...
More would be great. What sort of arguments did you make? We're you discussing the science?
Forgive me for being suspicious of your comment. There is a huge anti-vegan bias in society, and many argue against veganism, not in good faith. Can you provide any examples of the mods doing this?
Have you looked at any science on this issue? Or are you just using cOmMoN SeNsE to decide who should have their brain removed?
The Waveform explains the Fediverse and the protocol war
Even though I'm on here, I honestly lurk most of the time and don't fully understand the activitypub vs at protocol war. This was a great explainer that will reach a lot of people. Really appreciate a lot of David's takes. I hope David and others at MKBHD become aware of and talk about Lemmy soon too.
Be Cool Even When Really Big Goblins Casually Drop Acid
Lemmyversers, I'm looking for some help developing a new mnemonic device.
Inspired by a video by Epic Spaceman, where he explains a handy system for comparing the size of things from a banana to an atom, I’ve come up with a mnemonic device to aid in remembering these scales.
He lists items, each smaller than the previous by a factor of 10:
It goes:
- Banana
- Coin
- Edge of the coin
- Waterbear/microorganism
- Red blood cell
- Bacteria
- "Good virus"/Bacteriophage
- Corona Virus/"Bad Virus"
- DNA
- Atom
So a coin is roughly 1/10 a banana, and the edge of that coin is roughly 1/10 the size if that coin.
It gives good references for thinking about other things if similar size. A sort of banana for scale at each factor of 10.
And allows you to quickly determine approximations like Covid is roughly 1000 times smaller than a red blood cell. Or an atom is roughly 1 billion times smaller than a banana. (That doesn't sound right. Is that actually right?)
Do you think that's a useful memory tool? And are these best touchstones for scale at each level?
The mnemonic I've come up with for it as you may have guessed, is:
- Be
- Cool
- Even
- When
- Really
- Big
- Goblins
- Casually
- Drop
- Acid
Do you have any better ideas or tweaks you"d recommend for the mnemonic or the touchstones?
Would this be helpful when trying to wrap your head around the scale of the micro?
Also, what would make for a good macro version of this? Where everything got bigger by a factor of 10?
The 3 day no poop challenge - where it all began
August 22nd, 2023. History occurs on Lemmy.world
--------
OP is very much focused on answers and taking this very seriously. They mean business, about not doing their business.
But, in their steadfast preparation they make a fatal flaw...
---------------------
The memes came in hot.
What makes Lemmy feel like home After day 3 Lemmy users in 3 days
3 Days? Supermarket shelves in 3 days
Created a new Lemmy user manual
Putin’s address to the nation - OP "is that a threat?"
Respect the poop guy, him who goes to a honorable quest
--------------------- OP seemed to enjoy them
--------------------- More notable moments:
Things are looking dire, OP still seeking advice the next day
Is this all a part of some spiritual journey for OP?
The community gave OP their everlasting support.
------- Did they accomplish their goal?? I DID IT
Maybe, the journey is not at it's end yet... They asked for advice about ramen, and calcium tablets... ----- The community still waits with baited breath...
Godspeed, u/mizu6079 o7
Great app! - A few requests
Got some ideas/requests.
This is my favorite app so far. Love the swipe controls and the compact UI. Liking the snappiness of it all.
Ideas/requests
- Add direct messaging (I can see my messages but can't respond to them).
- Add trending communities when you click search/a way to explore communities rather than having to type in the specific community you want.
- Make it so clicking on "all" at the top of the screen opens a menu that gives you the option to switch between all, local, subscribed and specific subs and functions as a search.
- Allow user to customize UI a bit more, specifically in compact mode I'd like to be able to switch the side that the preview thumbnail is on.
- Show profile banners and have a way for users to customize their banner and profile pic.
- Add an edit post function.
- Add sidebars.
- Ability to save drafts on posts and comments.
Keep up the amazing work! ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ--
