Removing carbon from Earth's atmosphere may not 'fix' climate change
  • Headline feels a bit click-baity. They do say that their model shows temperatures correct if we remove carbon. It just isn't an immediate effect, instead taking about 200 years after being removed...

    So long term, removing carbon is still absolutely the correct thing to do.

  • Why would you use a virtual assistant?
  • Usually by the second or third question they got as much out of Google Assistant as they are going to get (because they just keep asking variations of the same thing, but don't quite grasp that it is really the same question, or they have now gotten to a hyper specific question). By question 5 or 6 they typically are done with Google and come to us to discuss further.

  • Why would you use a virtual assistant?
  • Summed up: convenience, and curiosity.

    I can lay in bed and ask if to turn off the lights, and all lights in the house shut off (including the ones the kids forgot to turn off). That convenience is phenomenal.

    And my kids who are too young to own their own devices can ask it questions. Whatever is on their random little minds, which very frequently leads them to a topic that they then come to us to discuss in depth. I love that it helps them foster their curiosity about the world around them and often enough leads to healthy conversations with Mom or Dad.

  • ‘Rick and Morty’ Team Gives Update on Recasting Process Following Justin Roiland’s Dismissal
  • By all accounts the past couple seasons he just shows up drunk to record his lines, be obnoxious in the office for a couple hours and then go home.

    The actual writing and content hasn't really involved him. So assuming they can find a voice that isn't too jarring, odds are the average person won't know or care and the show will be just fine.

  • Miyamoto wonders why Pikmin hasn't sold more and why people think the games are difficult
  • Technically Pikmin 3 also didn't have co-op when it first released, that was a feature added with Pikmin 3 Deluxe. However definitely extremely disappointed they removed it for 4. Maybe it can be added later, but likely not until they release DLC or another Deluxe version...

  • Miyamoto wonders why Pikmin hasn't sold more and why people think the games are difficult
  • I absolutely loved the Pkimin 4 Demo. Having played all 3 prior games, 4 resonated better with more emphasis on exploration and removing the "you have X days" pressure. Made it far more enjoyable personally.

    The only thing I really wish they hadn't eliminated was proper co-op. My son was very disappointed that all I could do was throw rocks and items rather than run around the world with him.

  • Michigan gets nearly $15M federal grant to improve power grid resilience
  • The article lists an awfully long laundry list of things the funding will go towards, including adding battery storage to the grid.

    Is $21 million (15m federal, article says about 6m from state funds) anywhere close to realistic....? Or is this like "1 battery here, check that off the list, bury these 3 cables here and check that off the list...."

  • First screenshot of Sync for Lemmy
  • In all seriousness, is the Dev using the build date as the version number....? July 8th, 2023 at 12:34am - vYY.MM.DD-HH.mm

    Unusual approach for sure as you have no clue if it is a major version change or minor bug fixes.

  • Is this art? Your answer can reveal a surprising amount about your politics
  • Tried it with 5 adults around me, 5 for 5 it was accurate. Most that agreed it was art had the stipulation that it looked like Children's art, but that still was technically art even if they didn't think it required much skill.
