Thanks for the extensive response! I appreciate the perspective, particularly the nuances on peer review, and the grounded conclusion.

…Does NASA have something on the web that lets people ping the Moon, by any chance?
- Comment on How do you go about evaluating sources of information for truth/credibility/etc.? 3 days ago:
It’s peer reviewed if it has the name of a peer-reviewed journal on it.
Where do journals indicate that they are?

- Comment on Somebody moved UK's oldest satellite, and no-one knows who or why 1 week ago:
Would there be any sort of logs either from the systems used to move the satellite, or aboard the satellite itself, to help answer the who question, if nothing else?
- Comment on How do offline, local groups get started and reach others now? 2 weeks ago:
I think posters/flyers are one of the most powerful ways to reach people in a local area, you’ve got to be in the local area to see them, right?
For sure in terms of locality, but not sure how effective they are in areas with lower foot traffic due to infrastructure. In a city this may work well, but does it also work as well in more rural, spread-out areas?
- Comment on How do offline, local groups get started and reach others now? 2 weeks ago:
Follow-up: has anyone coming across started a local group, or helped with one starting out that could relate how they went about it?
- Comment on How do offline, local groups get started and reach others now? 2 weeks ago:
Appreciate the advice for finding groups! However, my question is more about getting them started and handling outreach to keep them going.
This does provide some insight into some venues that may be good for them, so thanks!

Unsurprisingly, more closely related species of similar body size and microhabitat use are more likely to be engaged in misdirected amplexus with each other.
So…They’re similar enough that any arousal confusion is incidentally amplified? I guess they may not be similar enough for this behavior to be successful and produce increased genetic diversity among themselves, though? 🤨

- Comment on Mental hell 1 month ago:
Thanks for some detail! What you describe reassures me in my decision not to get further into it, particularly as a professor path seemed one of few traditional options with what I studied.
- Comment on Mental hell 1 month ago:
Are doctorate/grad school programs distinctly competitive? My impression was that they were more challenging but similar in nature to undergrad insofar as loads of coursework to stay on top of to complete courses and ensure you got some of the most expensive, “You endured it!” paperwork in the world.

Why is this all so convoluted and, seemingly, legal? Is this purposely convoluted to obfuscate illegal activity?

Have you seen the !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world community? This would be a good post there as well, I think!

- Comment on What would the IRL (in real-life) of "real-life"/offline life be? 5 months ago:
Appreciate the reply! It’s a cool way to view it in individual terms. I was thinking in more social terms, however, which I’ve been a little fascinated to find seems to be a little atypical from the replies so far.
- Comment on What would the IRL (in real-life) of "real-life"/offline life be? 5 months ago:
This does seem to come closer to what I was wondering about when I originally posted, good eye!
- Comment on What would the IRL (in real-life) of "real-life"/offline life be? 5 months ago:
OP asks the real life equivalent of being AFK which, assuming you’re normally regularly online, only really corresponds to being high or sleeping.
The funny thing is, it didn’t occur to me how vague my question was until after I posted and started seeing the replies. That’s made it more fun tbh, and interesting as in this context (online vs. in real life) I’ve not really thought of being online in such individualistic terms as this and some other replies suggest.

Does ffmpeg work best standing? Or is it better spread out? Did it work properly if it finished fast?
