Cindy Crawford looks looks incredibly manly. That’s the weirdest one for me.

Sounds like Mexico can just take down most of this thing.

Edit: As a US citizen, I support Mexico’s immigration services to detain any Texas construction workers that illegally cross the border to service this thing.

I also would support the governor of this region of Mexico to put these construction workers on a bus and drop them deep in the heart of Mexico somewhere.

The atmospheric pressure at the surface of Venus (the topic of the article) would be much worse than the bottom of any Earth ocean, so you better not let your floating Venus city accidentally succumb to gravity.

He literally is quoted as saying that after the Titan implosion. In the article:

“Söhnlein said the Titan passengers’ deaths shouldn’t stop humans from continuing to investigate carbon fiber hulled submersibles as a way to reach the bottom of the ocean.”

I read somewhere that there was a general Lemmy bug with Hot and/or Active not refreshing without a server reset. I’ve heard people say that Best 6 or 12 hours is the best for now.

You can blow out a candle

but you can’t blow out a fire.

Once the flames begin to catch

the wind will blow it higher.

… And the eyes of the world are watching now.

They are the last lyrics of Biko, by Peter Gabriel. The way he sings those lyrics as the song builds toward the end hits me every time I hear it. The last line is sung after a slight pause, and it sounds like a veiled threat to the leaders of South Africa that killed Stephen Biko. Also, it didn’t take a long time for change to happen in South Africa after the event, but when he wrote the song it was still several years away. So at the time it was still wishful thinking that “the wind would blow the flames higher”.

I ran a few things on an Odroid for years, which is like a Pi, and I wanted to upgrade. I shopped for an SBC with more RAM and found the prices getting high pretty quickly. I went with a mini PC made by Beelink- and have been very happy. There are many price points, based on RAM and drive: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=bee+link+pc

Aside from getting much more memory and storage for your money, I much prefer this hardware over an SBC because I can use any normal distro. With the Odroid I was stuck with the distros provided by the vendor.

Just FYI, sub.rehab lists more than just Lemmy instances. I found a listing for a squabbles community in there, but that is not federated with Lemmy.

Thank you! This has been driving me crazy. You are a hero.

I can’t even find a place on lemm.ee, using my browser, that would let me paste an arbitrary community path.

I always see the lemmyverse site recommended, but I have trouble subscribing to any community I find on there. If you click on a link on that site, it takes you to that instance. But you need an account on that instance to push the “subscribe” button. I can’t figure out a way to subscribe to, say, lemmy.world/c/technology when my account is on lemm.ee

Thanks for the link. How many days does this event last?

If that’s your dumbest idea, you are undervalued wherever you work. That sounds like a pretty interesting idea.

Bob and Doug Mackenzie thought me to roughly convert C to F by taking the temperature in Celsius, doubling it and then adding 30. It gets you in the ballpark.
