So they are basically an intellect devourer with spines?

There’s so much cool stuff happening in Astronomy at the moment.

I’ve been pretty happy with my Apple AirPods Pro

I like the one when he had a single ass hair transplanted on to the top of his head.

Love your sense of humour. :-)

Being nice to people makes them happy to be around you.

Who’s that?

Do you have any references for this?

The book, Seven Eves is about one of these hitting the moon.

Let’s start with the second part of your question? How do you make someone understand that invading another country is not a good thing?

Firefighter here. Brush and gently vacuum your smoke detector. Insects are attracted to the LED and can set off the alarm. They may be very small. Dust can also set it off.

Have you thought about reinforcing the joints with steel? Lots of bending moment on a Z.

This. Has changed my life.

The thing that this perspective doesn’t take into account is hunger. It’s all fine and well to say control your calorific intake, but willpower is a finite and limited resource and if it’s the mechanism used to manage calorific intake it will inevitably fail you. Especially when self-control relies on glucose levels in the blood and the aforementioned willpower is being used to reduce those glucose levels.

In the absence of fructose, fat consumption is controlled through the suppression of hunger by the CCK feedback loop. In the absence of fructose, carb consumption is controlled through the insulin/glucagon feedback loop.

Fructose just gets converted into fatty acids without any control loop, leaving you laden with excess fatty acids and still hungry.

Sucrose, which is sugar, is 50% fructose. So it’s not just Americans with their high fructose corn syrup who are being bombarded with calories that our hunger can’t see, it’s anyone eating foods sweetened with sugar.

I notice that the IDF doesn’t actually say that they didn’t hit the hospital, they just say that Hamas is ‘responsible’ for it. That could mean that they are saying that it’s Hamas’s fault for launching rockets from close to the hospital and making it look like a launch site. IDK, everyone lies in situations like this.

THIS! When those in power start dehumanizing others, you know there’s killing coming. Hotel Rwanda is a great history lesson on this.

It feels like a great time for everyone to take a massive chill pill.

This seems like the digital equivalent of burning books. Rather than controlling what people can read, shouldn’t we be doing more about the underlying reasons that mental health has taken a dive, such as the cost of living, climate change, the cost of further education and, you know, giving people a reason to feel optimistic about the future?

Finger limes. Tastes like lime sorbet but with the texture of roe.

lead is far far more toxic than depleted uranium

Looks like that might not be correct. https://lemmy.world/comment/3108233

Maybe if Russia stopped invading their neighbors, then other neighbors wouldn’t feel the need to join NATO as protection from Russia.
