I have blocked a lot of users and communities. I don’t need to see a ton of stuff about <thing> and I don’t need to deal with people who lack critical thinking skills. The “permit all and block” strategy works better with Lemmy being small and federated to keep learning about new communities.
Who pissed on your Wheaties this morning? Got a little mold on your favorite pants?
A little off topic, but your laundry should never be in a condition to allow mold growth. Stuff should be allowed to dry out if it got wet (if you don’t intend to wash it soon) and washed laundry should be promptly dried. If you are doing that and it still happened, you might have a mold problem in your home. The shirt might not be saveable, but this might be the lesson to avoid more expensive mistakes in the future.
Maybe go touch some grass…
Aaaand this is what we were afraid would happen. Hamas doesn’t care about the civilians of Gaza. It is such a horrible organization, there are no words to express it.
You think that upsets me UwU
There’s a whole army of men who want to be referred to as women and women who want to be referred to as men, so Stephanie -> Lady Gaga is pretty tame.
Not definitively. Ancient Egyptian hyroglyphics withstood it for a while but the Rosetta Stone cracked it (also I suspect modern computing would have done so by now anyway). The Voynich Manuscript is uncracked but there is a hypothesis that it gibberish, an uncracked natural language, or a ciphertext (encrypted).
Any unencrypted language is crackable; if you are simply using an alphabet to obscure English, it will be immediately broken simply due to frequency analysis of the the letters and word lengths. A whole unencrypted language is harder but there will be plenty of context clues to crack it. Encryption is by far the best way to ensure privacy.
Face towels (washcloths) really only one use and then wash. Body towels I switch about once a week but I live in a dry climate and they dry fast. I also use a linen towel which is very absorbent but also dries much faster than terry. Kitchen towels I change depending on how I used them - normal use (drying hands), every couple of days. Cooking? Change after I am done cooking.
Women’s cycling races in Chicago area would tell a different story…along with women’s swimming (Lia Thomas)…and other cases.
You need water to generate steam to turn a turbine and make electricity (same for coal, natural gas, fusion). However, many advanced reactor designs do not use water for the reactor coolant itself, unlike light water reactors that do. They use gas, molten salt, or liquid metals. As a result, you can get to quite high temperatures useful for process heat, such as hydrogen production. Direct desalination might also be doable, the issue/question being on the design of the non-nuclear side of the plant.
A lot of Gen IV designs are in the process of commercialization now, with demonstrations slated for later this decade.
Fusion designs currently require a ton of water for cooling (first wall and divertor) beyond what is needed for electricity production.
I could be completely wrong, may the gods of the Internet forgive me.
Yeah I noticed they got very shopping oriented in the last year or so, but I didn’t anticipate this. Yikes.
I thought DDG was some kind of front end for Google search. How wrong am I, and if I’m right, does this mean it’s the Google search in, e.g., Chrome browser that’s doing this? Otherwise how would DDG be avoiding it?
Yeah, I use Jerboa because it’s fine and it’s FOSS. No ads, acceptable content management, and frankly, not being really amazingly fine tuned means I don’t want to stay on it forever. I would rather send my money to my instance admin to keep the server running.
That JSON parse error may actually be due to your image being too large. Try resizing to under 1MB and see if that works. That’s the fix for my instance, anyway.
I was up in Montana near Kalispell in August 2008 and definitely experienced people target practicing and the rounds were uncomfortably close to where I had previously pitched my tent. That was scary.
I think that having the opportunity for live fire + hikers/campers in the same space is a recipe for disaster. No one ever walks across a gun range.
At least BLM could make zones that are designated live-fire areas so campers know to keep out, and hopefully rangers don’t have to do much enforcement.
