Nobody lost a job that was paying enough to live there. They should open a co-op in the ashes... Of course it'll still be profitable enough for the company to rebuild and refill the warehouse.

I also need to be reminded now and then,

Happy to pitch a tenner when reminded, you guys and Wikipedia.

Just one more nude pic,

From the party of "we can only allow one more sex scandal before we do something".

Yup that's one I've watched before clearing my history....

I don't have "extremism on gender" or "extremism on race"....

Oh wait I think they mean if I don't give a fuck about anyone's gender or race I'm displaying "extremism"... Chalk me up for one of every point I guess.

This seems to be geared towards developers, my summary is: steam was previously telling developers people received notification of their game being on sale because it was on somebody's wishlist and it went on sale, however if the person who wish listed the game had more than 25 games on their wishlist go on sale at the same time they would have not actually received an email notification.

This feels like it will not affect end users in the slightest.

Where's the April fools?

If only there was a review system in place where people with similar systems could confirm others findings... Maybe their peers...

Why don't you listen to the voices in my head, why don't you have voices in your head, why are you telling me to pay attention to results of experiments and recorded experiences instead of the voices inside the head of pre-print peoples?

I'm very satisfied how easy it has been to not consume any of that transphobes garbage.

I read the books, even looked forward to the last two releases,, and taken just a bit of pride every time I see the new stuff pitched at me, because I'm their market and I'm not buying anything that supports hate for those I love.

I'm sorry, don't they have to vote for it?

If it's happening without their express consent, then it's very much illegal.

The whole system is fucked

Your French toast ham sandwich looks good though.

 

I'm kinda devastated, I'd been keeping a list of places my wife and I have been wanting to eat at across the world. I know a bunch of tabs with Google searches isn't a great way to keep a list, but it was what I was doing.

They were moved into "archived tabs" whenever that became a thing, and now I've just learned there was a change that defaulted archived tabs into being removed after so many days of inactivity.

I don't know when this went into effect, and I don't know how I'd search my history to find a bunch of closed Google searches, but if anyone has any ideas when this change went into effect so I could narrow my search, or any ideas on how to bring back dead groups of tabs, I could really use some assistance. Until then I'm just going to scroll through my history... Which feels so futile.

Edit to add: I had even named the tab group, I searched in the history for the tab group name and was unsuccessful.

 

19 states have "no more changing the clocks" laws passed, but aren't allowed to do so without approval of the federal government?

It's pretty obvious you can just do what you want these days, consequences are trivial to non-existent, so why don't we just not change our clocks? (or change them and not change them back, whatever floats your boat)

 

It doesn't announce the date in the video, but in the description. The video is more teasing goodness.

I hope they'll do constant interviews soon

Not the Tesla, the car in front of it, it's got a very unique tail light array, I'm thinking it's one of the new smaller ev producers, but maybe it's something Japanese with a less common trim package?

Thanks for the assist, I'm quite infatuated with it's styling.

I believe the badge was red, and there are 5 letters beneath it (so not Jaguar)

 

I've been a subscriber to humble choice since day 1.

I went back through the last 2 years of bundles (average about 1.5 activations per month) and added games to my account.

Next time I get the urge to buy something "because it's on sale" I'll go back and add things I've already paid for.

His collar tag matches his personality, and his chompers, perfectly. Care to guess what it is?

 

I've seen a few articles about neutrinos recently, high energy ones, super fast ones, ones from open space, others from "sources", and my understanding of the particle is that it's very hard to detect, passes through light-years of lead without interaction, etc. don't headings and speed require multiple readings to make? How do we know the velocity of a neutrino when we can only detect them at single points?

 

""Vera Rubin offers an excellent example of what can happen when more minds participate in science," was changed to replace "more" with "many," altering the meaning from emphasizing the need for diverse perspectives to simply highlighting a high number of people."

 
 

I'll probably check in again at 34 hours.

 

I don't know how I got this job, sure it doesn't pay the best in the field, and you need lots of specialized training, and with that training you can go to much more prestigious work, but it pays enough. I don't know why the previous person to do it left (the commute was too much for her, but I would've moved closer if I was her). She trained me very briefly because I knew most of the ins and outs already, she told me the boss had been in and out of remission with bone cancer, but the last flair up was taken care of years ago.

It's been 7 years since he was first diagnosed, and he's had 2 replacements, they won't do a third. He doesn't want to try the experimental treatments because he'd rather enjoy the time he has.

I've worked for him for 3 years and I feel so greedy wanting to scream at him to try every avenue available. He has 3 amazing kids, a wife and in-laws who live him, he loves coming into work, he just finished renovating his forever home. And I don't want a different boss. I need more time with my mentor, my friend, the best boss I've ever had.

I just learned this morning, and it's really raw, I need to get it off my chest, I don't want to steal time from his family, but I want to take from him as much as I can. He's a genius in the field, the person he's trying to get to replace him is remarkable younger guy, but he's my age, he doesn't have the life experience that I've found myself looking to my boss for.

Fuck cancer.

Thanks off my chest. Hug your loved ones. Tell your dog they're good, scratch your cat. Enjoy the moments of extra nice weather.

 

My understanding is the researcher took Gaia probe information and looked at "wide binary stars" (not sure what defines wide, but there must be a ton of them), within 650 light years of earth. They found the ones that accelerate the least (relative to each other? Rotationally?) are, and this is where I get confused, moving more efficiently around each other than their faster counterparts?

This discrepancy is postulated to be due observations of the stars acting in different physics models based how much they're accelerating relative to each other?

If this is correct (and the researcher is very transparent with their methods and using public data) would this up-end our models as much as I think it would? There's probably a lot of things interacting with other things at very low relative acceptable throughout the universe. Or is this just highlighting a truth we already knew, that there's a difference between the quantum and relative universes that we're now able to roughly put a scale to?

I've added to my questions since lemmy has been down, what in the world does this paragraph mean? "Also, unlike other studies Chae calibrated the occurrence rate of hidden nested inner binaries at a benchmark acceleration."

While doing some you tubing about this (thanks lemmy.world down time) I discovered Sabine hossenfelder, who I think is becoming one of my favorite science communicators I recommend anyone wondering about anything science to check her out https://youtube.com/@SabineHossenfelder
