@TindrasGrove @patrizia Yeah a LOT of tech I have a problem with is forcing tech for corporarions onto home users. This stuff has risks PERFECTLY managable with a functioning IT department, but disasterous for home users. Bitlocker is a perfect example of this.Security advocates model your threats challenge.

The land beneath most solar farms is mostly left as gravel or turf. But the teams at two sites in Minnesota decided to do things differently, seeding the ground with native grasses and flowering plants. Five years later, that land is home to many types of insect, with a 20-fold increase in bees that have begun pollinating the crops in neighboring fields.

@joho Thanks for letting me know - it looks like an interesting project. I see your own website runs on tinymash. I'll be sure to check it out when I get some time. Following you to get updates on your cool project. 👍

Of the about 9 cases it said it could not find citations for, I found 6.This is basic, basic work right here. Not even research. And this thing cannot do it.

Yo if you like Ocarina of Time and games where you make your own dungeons, you should consider backing this project. It's not quite at the 50% mark yet but it still has 17 days to go.Back it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/akelamorse/temple-maker-64Try the Demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3897090/Temple_Maker_64/

Dammit, it should be lighting its own fuse 😆 Wielding a lit match at the very least. I might have to revisit that at some point, but must go and get some Sensible Stuff done.

@Lily_and_frog I feel like the next Epstein batch of files might make us all reassess the Lizard People thing! Keep an open mind?? wtf ffs

@TechConnectify This was amazingly well researched and put together, like most of your videos.Hopefully this will get some people to understand the importance of moving on from fossil fuels many instances. I came for the video and stayed for the amazing rallying cry during the latter part.Keep up the amazing research and thank you for speaking out, though it's unfortunate that you felt like you had to.

Was thinking more like satellite imagery as background. I feel like there’s no way such faint an object would be visible through the atmosphere. But maybe I’ve just never been far enough away from civilisation.

Fox News Sends Trump Quarterly Tithe Of 3 Blond AnchorsWASHINGTON—Saying the sumptuous gift should slake the administration’s thirst for the next few months, Fox News sent President Donald Trump its quarterly tithe of three blond anchors, White House sources confirmed Friday. “We have traveled south to the White House steps to present you with these three Kayleighs,” said Fox Corporation CEO Lachlan Murdoc…#theonionhttps://theonion.com/fox-news-sends-trump-quarterly-tithe-of-3-blond-anchors/

@katemorley I hate it when people mix these up!

It’s been a loooong time since I’ve played FInal Fantasy 7. Like, probably 25 years now. Maybe 20. But definitely before I permanently moved away from home. It’s one of my favourite games of all time, but also, one of the hardest for me to revisit. I’m at the City of the Ancients now, and I’m finding myself woefully unprepared to handle it.

@badastro The sky is full of rocks.

Wild, people talk to me with an alarming frequency. Maybe Haligonians are just uncomfortably chatty.

Holy crap, it does!

When was the first exoplanet discovered? You might read it was in 1992, but in fact the first evidence for the existence of alien worlds was found before then. Way before then.Like, in *1917*.I love this story.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/when-was-the-first-exoplanet-discovered/

I’ve been doing this for a while, but it’s a problem I’ve never solved. Dunno if it’s my crust recipe or something I need to do during construction. The recipe is as follows: 1c water, 120°F 1 packet dry active yeast (2.25tsp) 1Tbsp granulated sugar 2Tbsp olive oil 3.5C white flour 1tsp salt Mix the yeast and sugar in the warm water, wait to bloom Add everything else and mix into dough. Knead, proof Roll out, transfer to pan Second proof (optional) Preheat oven to 425°F Construct pizza with favorite toppings Bake at 425°F for 15min or until cheese is sufficiently browned Step 7 usually has jarred marinara, meats (except pepperoni), spices, and cheese, and all the veggies (and pepperoni) go on top. Still, the very middle part of the pizza ends up a little doughy, just where the sauce meets the crust. The outside of the pizza is just fine, but the only thing I can think is that the sauce is adding too much water. Do I need to add a layer of oil before the sauce, or should I try to reduce the sauce before adding it? Should I reduce the temp and increase the time? Thanks!

Friend: Which one, Mastodon or Bluesky?Me: Mastodon has scientists and experts in their field who love to share about their lives, and everyone is super nice. Bluesky is not so much. Friend:Me: Mastodon is Star Trek. Bluesky is Star Wars. Friend: Why didn’t you say that first?
