I’d rather the five released ASOIAF stay as they are, perpetually unfinished than anything close to the hatchet job that was the GoT show ever be released in book. For me, sometimes just finishing isn’t enough. The books > than the show 10,000 times.

It is a fox with some long long legs! Neat!

There is a problem of lag. By the time temperatures are high enough to force the economy to stop, the amount of CO2 will be sufficient to continue pushing the temperature up considerably.

All of the people here saying Backyard Scientist is better should check out his latest video.

I remember this being a known thing with dolphins too, but maybe that’s just one of those things you learn as a kid and trust forever

I think all you need to know about this guy is the Vatican asked him to resign a few days ago and he said no. You do not say to no to that sort of thing! He absolutely knew they would remove him and instead of going quietly he said no to make it a big thing. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him running for office, or starting his own break off sect of “true Catholics” soon. Good riddance.

Reminds me of the movie Lord of War with Nicholas Cage. Ukraine has a history of disappearing weapons going back to the fall of the Soviet Union. It’s a hard culture to reverse quickly.

Ironically Crimea is where weapons like the machine gun that came to dominate the 20th century were first used in scale prior to WW1. It’s one of the world’s weapons testing grounds.

We don’t get many declarations of war these days. Usually they are just special military actions, or security operations, or something like that. What makes this different?

That upgrade from stepsister to stepmom.

They prefer North American in my experience, if not simply Canadian.

Oh I see! I have been “whooshed”

In what context is Fir a valid abbreviation for Friday in English? I feel like that’s the issue! Should be Fri.

In theory the Pope has such powers, but technically he is the first among equals. It would only make things worse if he started acting like a dictator purging bishops that don’t agree with him. There is already a strong, “not my Pope” movement in the US, hence this article. He doesn’t want to drive those people further away. His goal is unity not division.

Press the up arrow over and over until you find the command. This is they way!

I find it helpful to translate medical abbreviations to English. Our doctors tend to go overboard with abbreviations, there are lots I know but there are always a few that leave me scratching my head. ChatGPT seems really good at guessing what they mean! There are other tools I can use, but ChatGPT is faster and more convenient - I can give it context and that makes it more accurate.

And there are physical therapists who do acupuncture strictly for muscle release without all of the chi stuff.

On Lemmy, I sure use it a ton between different Lemmy instances and KBin! On Mastodon I only use it to communicate across Mastodon instances really, but neither service would be the same without the ability to see posts from other instances.

I know what you mean. I say she’s like the color brown. Mix enough colors of paint and you get brown. Mix enough dogs and you get this!

Lol I know, weird mix. She was born in a shelter - her mom is a street dog and is so much smaller than her babies! Poor thing. Besides those three she has a decent portion of generic, “other” I had her DNA tested.
