  Like yes, but, the actual hard part of aquarium fish keeping isn’t really related to the fish themselves. It’s the water… nature has already prepared this biologically active, clean, ample supply of water for the air dropped trout. Replicating that in a tiny glass box without at least a surface understanding of the chemistry involved can be very difficult. But you should also learn how to supply an animal with the proper environment before you get one.

  I think one major difference is feathers - we have not had feathers show up in any mammalian mutations or evolutions that I know of. We went a different direction, with the fur and all. So even if fast tracking wings were possible I think that would involve some kind of fur covering and different adaptation for flight more akin to bats.

  The other major hiccup is - fast tracked uncontrolled evolution, aka genetic mutation, without the controls/failsafes (such as non-viable mutated animals dying out and failing to breed) just equates to cancer…

  We mammals are pretty far (~65 million years) diverged from birds, so you’d probably be looking at more of a bat style wing or flying squirrel gliding skin mechanism than anything feathered.

  Experimental groups are often called treatment groups or treatments even when you’re doing a toxicity test in insects or something else decidedly not medical

  I had this same thing happen with a friend of mine, he was being manipulated by his partner at the time, 1 slow motion train crash later, he got diagnosed with bipolar, medicated and stabilized. We talk a bit again, it’s nice to see him in a stable place. But if someone refuses to hear what the therapist says and dismisses them or hides information from them they aren’t really going to be able to get proper help.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for a thermometer or home weather center with indoor and outdoor temp sensors, and that can record and export the data, does anyone know of such a device?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What you’re looking for is a 2 channel temperature data logger, but it might be cheaper to just buy 2 single channel ones (a really brief search shows some for like $30)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suggestion: asking for the community's thoughts before defederating with an instance⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That works if the instance openly expresses a general policy on defederating , and then adheres to their own policy. Based on the whole pre-emptive threads defederation that many other instances took part in, but lemmy.world did not, it seemed like they were aiming to be a very open instance - their stated reason for not cutting ties with threads was to have a wait and see approach and actually give them a chance before assuming it will be a problem (and it’s not like meta has a stellar track record either). Now with hexbear they are taking an immediate defederation, no chances approach. It would be nice to get some clarity on the general criteria for pre-emptive and reactive defederation in order to make those home instance decisions.
