A plant doesn’t have to be native to benefit local ecosystem, parsley isn’t native, but there’s a local species of butterfly whose caterpillars love it.

D3, no milk.

Which is a shame, because if I could create tangible loss for Ubisoft by downloading their games, I would do nothing else until they went under.

IDK what Demetrious means, but polychronic means multiple fatal diagnoses, like when you have multiple stage 4 cancers.

Don’t they have tools to do 100 at once, and machines to do 10,000 at once?

Only problem is accepting dates in anything except YYYYMMDD, or unix time stamps if you need more precision.

Nope.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, Ronald Reagan’s admin was the reason NASA had to launch so quickly, he wanted to mention it during the State Of The Union Address.

We’re lucky that he didn’t give someone a medal for blowing up a passenger aircraft (again).

Back in the early 70s, NASA engineer tests on a part indicated that a joint with 2 O-rings was too wide and could expose the o-ring. Northrop Grumman and NASA’s project manager said it was fine, 2 o-rings meant one was redundent right? and the design made it into the solid rocket booster.

Then in 1977, a different test indicated 1 oring was letting gas during certain levels of mechanical stress. The engineers proposed a solution, which was ignored.

Then in 1980, they asked to test what would happen if 1 oring weren’t there and what would happen if the oring was cold. This was denied.

Then in 1981, a return booster was inspected and they found soot between the orings and one eroded, and the problem was added to the critical issues list. And ignored.

This happened again in 1984.

In 1985, they realized when the oring was cold at launch, the problem got way worse. Northrop Grumman finally changed the design to fix it.

But they had a bunch of the old, unsafe part laying around, and NASA didn’t want to miss deadlines, so in January of 1986, they launched a shuttle with the part that they knew was unsafe in cold conditions, coldest morning they’d ever launched and a middle-school class watched a live stream of their teacher exploding 10 miles in the air.

Moopsy!

It’s the thing you use to create a local copy of the main code base, and then merge your changes back in.

OP hasn’t done anything, and there’s 7 conflicts between his code and main. Presumably because someone else merged their changes in the time between when OP pulled his local copy and tried to push his (non-existent) changes.

America’s rail is almost all low-speed or higher-speed (125-150 mph, but much lower average speeds)

For comparison, China has built ~20,000 miles of HSR, much of which goes up to 220, some lines averaging 200 mph.

A company tried that in 1999/2000, just before the dot com bust.

You got a $500 PC for free, but were locked into a contract with an ISP and had to spend 10 hours a week on the PC, and 1/3 of the screen was ads at all times.

We’re moving in that direction, but nothing is free.

Both workers and bar owners would be better served by supporting public transit than the right to drink drive.

No idea. I can see why they’d do it if someone was giving out invites to tons of people who literally do not seed, but you can’t expect everyone to have a good ratio since they must all average out to 1.

I think most of the talk is just to encourage seeding.

It’s fundamentally impossible for everyone to have a positive ratio.

people don’t deal with Elon when buying a Tesla, but they do have to deal with shitty dealers when buying another brand.

I’m not gonna defend the state of the dealership system, but from what I hear, getting Teslas fixed is awful in unique ways.

Tesla is going to end up the largest car manufacturer in the world.

They’re the largest by stock price, but in EVs/year they were surpassed by a chinese company a couple years ago, and both traditional and new companies are closing the gap Tesla got from all the early capital that was dumped into them. They never came close if you include non-electric cars.

Other manufacturers cannot make profitable cars at the price point Tesla is offering.

There’s tons of electric cars at the price point Tesla offers, with a fraction of the issues. One thing I did notice is other companies limit what they’re willing to import into the US to avoid competing with more expensive models (eg, no company imports cheap electric convertibles or station wagon because they’d compete with higher-end electric cars and SUVs/pickups respectively), but I’m not aware of any market segment that doesn’t have a competitive non-tesla equivalent.

Awhile ago, someone counted the number of local news stories of people getting immolated by their Teslas. It was more per car sold than the Ford Pinto.

clever newspeak

If that’s what you want to call it. I was just using the old-timey term to contextualize US actions in Ukraine/China/Iran/DPRK/Niger among the hundred other wars waged for the same purpose over the last couple centuries.

Oh, sorry then, I must have misunderstood.

Since federation, a lot of libs who’ve never encountered a leftist opinion have been calling us russian or chinese bots for not supporting the latest imperialist adventures.

Hexbear is one of the oldest lemmy instances, but only recently started federating.

Are you suggesting that for the last 3+ years, someone was running a troll farm where the trolls could only talk to each other?
