This should cover it fairly well.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been #Bloomscrolling lately. As far as I’m concerned, the MAUs are here for the wows.

Risky comment of the day. Maybe they just don’t like to hear what I have to say. Maybe I could have been a little less blunt about it. Who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Both extremes exist. Hence, the condition about loosing your grip on reality.

People above a certain age should begin to avoid social media and stick with more private forms of communication like email, phone calls, signal messages and f2f discussions. Once your ability to tell fact from fiction deteriorates enough, announcing your opinions publicly becomes increasingly problematic.

Interesting. That exact same logo was used by the app that changed its name to Impressia. So, maybe it started as one thing, but later evolved to what it is now. A confusing journey really.

Isn’t that just a pixelfed app? I think Vernissage changed its name recently. Nowadays it’s like Impressia or something like that.

What about the Marxist-Leninist, communist, socialist, anti-capitalist crowd? I don’t know if they hang around on other platforms, but they certainly are present here on Lemmy.

Also, what about sexual and gender minorities? I get the feeling that there are a lot of queer people on Mastodon. Maybe that could be another selection criteria.

Like this:

Are you queer? -> Mastodon

Are you a Marxist? -> Lemmy

Also, some people will intentionally add numbers at the end of the alias to make it look like all the good names were already taken. Sort of like a joke or a reference to all the bigger social media platforms.

I’ve seen something similar happen when a site doesn’t load all the way. Refreshing fixes that unless something has gone horribly wrong.

Monitors and TVs always have the catchiest names. Those marketing people are just geniuses.

While quickly looking into it, I didn’t find relevant information about the effect of temperature, unless you like to extract cafestol using methanol. That will spice up your morning brew!

However, I did find this graph, that shows the effect if roast level. Dammit, why did it have to be this way. I don’t even like dark roast.

Regardless, temperature usually has an impact on extraction rates. Higher temperatures make things happen faster and better as long as we’re not talking about dissolved gases.

I seem like it’s better to stick with paper filters. I wonder if an aeropress filter is good enough for catching those compounds though.

It’s a constant arms race with microbes and the immune system. Both evolve all the time to outdo to other.

So far, it’s working pretty well. The environment is full of bacteria, viruses and fungi, most of which are harmless to us. You’re breathing that stuff in all the time, and you don’t even know how dangerous those things are to trees, bacteria, insects etc.

I asked GPT and Copilot some pride related questions, and they were both pretty supportive. GPT went into more detail, while Copilot used more rainbow emojis. Either way, I didn’t see any right-wing rhetoric.

Biology is full of strange exceptions. As soon as you think you’ve figured out a rule that applies to something, you’ll find some obscure creature that violates that rule just to piss you off.

The whole point of having bones is their rigidity. Animals that don’t require a rigid structure, simply have no bones, chitin, exoskeleton or shell.

As others have pointed out, there are plenty of squishy terrestrial animals, but they don’t have flexible bones or any bones for that matter. Those that do have bones, also have cartilage, and there are many sea creatures that rely almost exclusively on it. However, I can’t think of a single terrestrial animal that would be composed of cartilage to that extent. I guess gravity opposes such ambitions, and weeds out anyone who tries to pull off a build like that.

Good catch! I don’t know how these mistakes sneak in all the time. I should probably read the message three times before posting.

This is true. For example, many plastics are opaque in the UV range. That’s why in UV spectrophotometry you need to use special cuvettes made out of quartz. Opacity and transparency of different materials in different wavelengths tends to be really surprising. You would never guess that a specific wavelength can’t pass through glass, but can pass through something that looks totally opaque to us.

Edit: spelling

If you’re interested in 1 m wavelength, the prism has to be bigger than that. Let’s go with 2 m to be on the safe side, you could probably move a prism like that with a lorry.
