- Comment on If saturated fat is the most unhealthy part of cooking oils, then why don't we remove it? 3 months ago:
We tried that in the 90s, it went poorly: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans_fat#History
- Comment on The fall of Firefox: Mozilla's once-popular web browser slides into irrelevance 4 months ago:
The day Firefox shutters its doors is the day the internet truly dies.
*the web
The internet has so far been doing a much better job surviving as a proper decentralized system than the web.

If you have any straight straws, you might want to hold them up to the light. They get pretty grody on the inside.
- Comment on Have you ever had to retake a major course you already passed in order to understand the subject better? 7 months ago:
Yep, I did exactly that. I passed a class because the prof graded on a curve, but if he hadn’t no one would have passed, so I learned nothing. I went and talked to the prof that was teaching it the next semester, just before classes started, and he said it was fine fine to sit in as long as I didn’t come on any of the test days.
I suggest you go in person to ask, it might be something they’re not supposed to do, so if you ask in some way that leaves a paper trail, they might have to say no just to cover their ass.

- Comment on What is "attention", really? 8 months ago:
Your thoughts.
(And to a lesser extent your actions, but that gets tougher to define since external factors will apply more there.)
- Comment on In the U.S., what exactly are we supposed to do when an ambulance, with its sirens on, approaches from behind? 8 months ago:
The exact laws vary by state, but it’s always “get the fuck out the way, as quickly as you can while being as predictable as possible.”
I’ve never heard that you’re supposed to not stop (if that’s what you meant), but as far as I know, you’re not required to stop if you’re out of the way and not preventing anyone else from getting out if the way.
- Comment on Why are prices of everything higher in cities? 8 months ago:
Meat doesn’t grow in the suburbs either though. Plus if you’re buying meat at a major supermarket, it probably didn’t even come from your state anyway. Your proximity to the nearest cow doesn’t have much to do with how far your steak came.

Oh, right, this is the fediverse. (This is a Lemmy comment, FYI.)
@lucy@corteximplant.com, whatever happened to dataterm.digital? Is it ever coming back?
- Comment on What happened to dataterm.digital? 9 months ago:
This is their meta site: obeythesystem.com It doesn’t seem to list it. Neither does their network status page: biomonitor.cyberwa.re/status/network
I don’t know anything, but that seems to imply to me that it’s probably not coming back.
- Comment on what's a reasonable sort for lemmy? 9 months ago:
Just upgraded to 0.18.3-rc.4 and the Hot sort seems to be fixed now. (I’d guess Active would be too.) So, that now. Before I pretty much only used Top X Hours based on when I last looked.
Though, now that I’m looking at Hot, the communities I’m in definitely feel a whole lot more active.
