Seems like a regular whistle at this point.
Mysterious “leopard spots” on a Martian rock could be evidence of extraterrestrial life—or of mere lifeless chemistry. Finding out the truth may require bringing the rock back to Earth
In a dry river valley on Mars, NASA’s Perseverance rover may at last have found its reason for being: evidence of ancient alien life—and with it, a lifeline for the space agency’s grand but troubled plan to bring Red Planet materials to Earth.
This potentially cosmos-quaking evidence may look like merely a humble rock, but it’s unlike any other seen before on Mars. Dubbed “Cheyava Falls” after a feature in Earth’s own Grand Canyon, the rock appears to be a coffee-table-sized, arrowhead-shaped outcropping of mudstone. But its most notable visual features are its reddish and whitish stripes—the former are speckled with dark-rimmed, light-colored splotches resembling a leopard’s spots. The red color likely comes from the iron mineral hematite, the Perseverance team says. The rover’s studies have revealed the whitish striations to be veins of water-deposited calcium sulfate, and they show that the dark rims of the curious “leopard spots” contain molecules of iron phosphate—a potential food for hungry subsurface microbes.
Oh, look at Mr. Fact-checker… Next I bet you’re gonna tell me JD Vance didn’t have sex with a couch.
“Some Republicans are out there on TV and social media making vile sexual remarks about Kamala Harris and wanting to make her dating history an issue,” [Ana] Navarro wrote. “This country deserves a debate on real issues, affecting us all. But you want to make this an issue? Bring it on. I’ve never seen naked pics of @kamalaharris or her spouse. Kamala never partied with sexual predators.”
Wait, did someone prove he didn’t?
That has always been the Microsoft way.
March for Our Lives, which was launched six years ago after yet another U.S. mass shooting, announced its first-ever political endorsement on Wednesday, backing Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris' bid for the White House.
Does your phone ever get that not-so-fresh feeling?
Verify your voter registration is still valid.
Or secretly her dad.
If you add a calendar event on your phone, it will do this.
Is this so Harris will turn it down, and then when Donald turns down a real debate, he can say, “Harris started it did it first”?
There used to be a complete bike lane, but sadly a rockslide covered all but this part.
no sarcasm
it would be awesome if people could interact purely with ideas more often, but it’s rare
they assist, and they’re technology

Firefox Focus complaints
I have two complaints about Firefox Focus on iOS:
First, when typing into the address bar, you must finish and tap “search” or “go” or else all you typed will go away if you switch to another app and back again. Firefox Focus shouldn’t forget what you’re doing unless you hit the garbage can icon or force close the app.
Second, if you’re typing, and you tap anywhere I’ve marked in red in the screenshot, it erases the search/url text you’ve typed, and you have to start over. It didn’t used to do this when Firefox Focus first came out. It would be fine to put a garbage can icon somewhere in that area, but the area now that deletes what you’re typing is bigger than the keyboard, and I’ve mis-tapped there way too many times.
Fresno homeowner starts fire trying to kill spider
> “We get it, we don’t like spiders either, but it’s never a good idea to use a blow torch or any other flammable device for pest control,” firefighters said in a social media post.
This label informs you it is easy to peal, and it was.
I peeled it off, and there is no reside on the item, nor did was there any damage to the label.
I had to stick it back down on each side to get the photo, but it pealed right back off in perfect condition again.
If this can be done, why aren’t all labels like this?
“We Don’t Mind” by Michael Franti & Spearhead
We don't mind\ See we've been doin' it all the time\ But if you want us to you sacrifice\ You will not get it without a price\ We don't mind\ See we've been doin' it all the time\ But if you want us to you sacrifice\ You gotta give something back to life
You think I'm vulnerable to your pressure tactics\ Because I shed a tear, 'cause I shed a tear\ You think I'm vulnerable to your violence\ Just 'cause I'm sittin' here\ But my babies came into this world\ Without a single fear, say they has no fear\ 'cause the seven generations before me\ They all fought to get us here
You can't just come in here like that no more\ And snatch up our childhood\ You just can't walk on up\ And replace it yo, with your Hollywood\ But I see now\ How all of the words I say you'll take and misconstrue\ And I'm prepared now\ To suffer the penalties for speakin' the truth\ And I speak the truth when I say
People if you hear me now I wantcha to say\ Naa, na-naa, na-naa, nah\ People if you hear me now I wantcha to say\ Naa, na-naa, na-naa, nah
Sting • Russians • The Dream of the Blue Turtles • 1985
In Europe and America There's a growing feeling of hysteria Conditioned to respond to all the threats In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mr. Khrushchev said, “We will bury you” I don't subscribe to this point of view It would be such an ignorant thing to do If the Russians love their children too
How can I save my little boy From Oppenheimer's deadly toy? There is no monopoly in common sense On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology Regardless of ideology Believe me when I say to you I hope the Russians love their children too
There is no historical precedent To put the words in the mouth of the President There's no such thing as a winnable war It's a lie we don't believe anymore
Mr. Reagan says, “We will protect you” I don't subscribe to this point of view Believe me when I say to you I hope the Russians love their children too
We share the same biology Regardless of ideology What might save us, me and you Is if the Russians love their children too
Can't paste URL for login
When I copy the URL for an instance to paste it, it includes the protocol. But Voyager says it’s not a valid instance. Take off the https:// and it works fine. Seems like Voyager should handle this better.
What do you think of posts that are only a link?
Should all posts include a thought, opinion, or summary from the OP? Is a post title usually enough?
If you appreciate posts that just a link to a video, news article, blog post, or website with no post text by the OP, why do you like them?
Same SD card for SteamOS and Windows-To-Go?
I used https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/pc-gaming/how-to-install-windows-on-steam-deck to set up Windows-To-Go for a few games that won't work in SteamOS. It seems to be working fine, but now I wonder if this would work…
I currently have a 1 terabyte SD card that I'm using for SteamOS. I know Linux partitions can be shrunk, so I'd like to shrink it down to half the size. Then I'd clone the partition(s) from the Windows-To-Go SD card to the now-empty space on the 1 terabyte SD card.
I think I''ll need to clone the Windows partition(s) to the beginning of the drive. So when I make the empty space by shrinking the Linux partition, I'll create the empty space at the beginning of the drive.
I'll be using GParted and Clonezilla since I'm used to them.
I have two questions:
- Will Windows care that the second half of the SD card has a LInux partition? I don't want/need it to see or read/write to the Linux partition.
- Will SteamOS still see the Linux partition automatically as if nothing's changed and just ignore the new Windows partition(s)?
