- Comment on 2/10 people on Lemmy, is that you? 6 days ago:
I stumbled into a thread the other week of someone who tried to argue that basically, there exist non-invasive non-native species, as well as native invasive species.
Eh, no buddy. The Venn diagram is a single circle. Everything inside is native and therefore not invasive, and everything outside is invasive and therefore not native. Invasive === NOT native.
- Comment on Smoking Sonic's Stinky Feet 2 weeks ago:
That fails to consider that if people speak of “an invasive species,” they’re almost certainly using the botanical definition of that word, which boils down to “a species not native to the ecosystem where the speaker as found it,” and where native species are species that exist within an ecosystem without ever having had humans show up in said ecosystem.
Just because you like that plant being there does not mean said plant stops being invasive.
And if an organism has existed in an ecosystem for millennia, long before any human ever set foot there, then it doesn’t matter how annoying it is, it is a native species.

Looks like the joke flew over your head…
But to indulge your more serious angle, yeah, it’s well thought through. And if your source is the one I think it is, that one also packages in that “NATO Phonetic Alphabet” is a bit of a misnomer.
It’s not a phonetic alphabet, since it doesn’t type out what sounds one must make to pronounce words correctly. And the main devs weren’t NATO, but ICAO. NATO was just gonna adopt it and issue some feedback for improvements.

The abstract suggests that happiness is a statistical anomaly, and in its final lines they suggest that “One possible objection to this proposal remains–that happiness is not negatively valued. However, this objection is dismissed as scientifically irrelevant.”

Valid. I checked again, and:
Known risks to the protocol include:
- Carriers being attacked by birds of prey. RFC2549: “Unintentional encapsulation in hawks has been known to occur, with decapsulation being messy and the packets mangled.”
So I guess that’s what’s happening here

Another example of such an attack

Nerds making joke standards is nothing unique.

Pyrrhus is the namesake for the concept of Pyrrhic victory, i.e. where while you technically won, it was at such a cost that you couldn’t fathom trying it ever again. The linked article lists a number of historic examples.

I like Alot memes a lot. What a delight to bump into one just like that.

I recall a story where there was a water restriction on a town for everyone, except for the golf courses. The next day, the golfers found that the Holes had been filled with cement, supposedly poured in there by activists.
- Comment on A succulent meal 2 months ago:
It looks basic but quite tasty if the prep and spicing has been done right.
Not every good meal has to be a Michelin Star affair, y’know. Sometimes, all you need is fries and two kroketten to be satisfied.

The time between me playing EmptyEpsilon for the first time and having to surpress the urge to… Ehm… Refer my weapons officer to Starfleet Command for extra training was only about two or three hours. Like, brother, if you’re gonna fire a homing missile, you pick a target, then fire the missiles! Half of our load went deep into space to maybe ruin someone’s day two star systems over!
