And even when computers started to come around, data entry was still largely female dominated. It wasn’t until late ron that it became a male dominated space. Largely due to the takeover of video games, which were in America heavily marketed towards only boys and not often marketed towards girls.

I saw dandelions like that a few times before. I never knew what it was called or what caused it. I think I only ever saw it 3 times.

That would raise the sea level almost as fast, and probably more than if the polar ice caps just melted on their own. Also didn’t it come from a comet? Last I checked comet ice isn’t the cleanest ice, it’s full of fun stuff like ammonia, cyanide, and formaldehyde.

Yeah before people in America made a big stink about it and said it’lll turn you crazy or into a mexican, or whatever racist unscientific garbage excuse they made to start a moral panic to make it illegal, people smoked or otherwise consumed cannabis. It was just normal. The same way people consume drugs like coffee today, yes coffee is a drug.

I agree, the phrasing was poor since many arthropods easily beat this guy in terms of small size.

Or it’s likely a mini-Neptune type planet with more atmosphere than ground and therefore likely won’t have complex life at all. Or complex life able to try and do that.

You would need to get into orbit first to start the process of making it. It could make it easier to get into orbit once you have it but it doesn’t eliminate the burden of needing to get into orbit at least once before it’s set up. Likely more than once since failed attempts will require you to start over.

This is the most important part, especially when teaching math to children. The practical aspects of math (beyond arithmetic counting with basic addition and subtraction) are not going to be fully realized until one is an adult, so they aren’t going to be a motivator for learning math.
It needs to be fun and engaging for them to want to keep learning and engaging with it.

Honestly I’m not even sure it’s possible at that distance. Planets reflect very little light compared to stars, and that already minuscule amount of light gets scattered across an insanely huge area due to the inverse square law. So that tiny amount of light gets spread over an insanely huge area (light years in size).
I feel like to get a clear picture your telescope would have to be light years across in size to get a clear image with fine details in it. The light is just too spread out to get a clear picture of it with anything you can build at a human scale.
- Comment on Real 2 months ago:
The hard part is that the stars create so much glare and planets are so small and faint that it’s really REALLY hard to zoom in on them. Even with very powerful telescopes. It’s probably straight up impossible actually. Like you can see them and get an idea of what they’re made of (light spectrum analysis) but you’re not going to be able to make out fine details like what the landmasses look like.
- Comment on Real 2 months ago:
Because one of them (Earth) is based on reality, and the other is a poorly done conceptual render because no human actually knows the shape of the landmasses on that planet on account of having never been there.

It doesn’t surprise me that much honestly, even on Lemmy there are a lot of right-wing people.

Those dumbasses build their houses right on the beach, they will ultimately be hit very hard by climate change.

Potatoes are also pretty easy to grow. I think a lot of people grow them as well.

Yeah that’s really shitty, just another shitty aspect of capitalism protecting businesses and not people. Actually actively screwing people over for money.

I agree that people should definitely keep a good store of non-perishable foods in case of hard times, but you also should try to grow food as well. I don’t think anyone is trying to say it’ll be easy, like anything at first it is difficult. It’s definitely worth trying though, if you can and have the space. Like I said, don’t go all in as your only option, keep non-perishable foods on hand, like canned goods, or dried goods. If you’re able to grow your own food you get fresh fruits and veggies, and you won’t use up as many canned goods.

And even with prosthetic limbs, access might be limited based on profitability.
Let’s also not ignore the fact that many modern prosthetics just kind of suck in general. They’re getting better but they still aren’t great.
- Comment on send thoughts and peer review 2 months ago:
I mean holes in ears healing and closing up is one thing, entire limbs regrowing is another, and we already know from salamanders and lizards that things can go wrong:
Who’s to say a regrown human arm won’t have similar issues, possibly even internal issues only humans would notice due to having opposable fingers.

And often have to work there too, which is even worse.

It’s an industrial district, I don’t think they offer housing there. And if they do it’s only for those who work there.

Interesting argument, mind backing it up with a source?

Hot take: These guys never bothered me. I know some people are strongly bothered and annoyed by Boxelder bugs but they don’t annoy me.

Crazy that they boast about having an overactive amygdala but deny it when people say they are acting crazy and paranoid.
Also, side note: conflation of liberal and leftist as if they’re the same is kind of a pet peeve of mine. They are very much not the same thing. Those who know know.
