Amazing, I haven't read an irma comic in over 20 years, but I immediately recognized the character and remembered her name, I'm terrible with names irl.

This is the Lemmy instance I didn't know I needed.
Unfortunately like Ed Gamble says before the podcast, I need to go and watch the episode first!
Then I'll come back and engage in some discussion with you!
Cheers mate!
Post script, in the meantime what is your favorite season and which cast member makes it your favorite?

Kaiser Permanente, the unionized California gravel company's answer to health insurance screwing people over even in the early days. Didn't know they'd made it to the East Coast, that's good news for y'all.
Wouldn't be required if we the people told health insurance companies to get fucked.

Even the different problems between the LCD and OLED models make me content for valve to take it slow.
Don't diminish the support with multiple sku's, work on fixing the small but persistent problems with the current operating system, let other companies keep the hardware manufacturers pushing forward, continue making sure the operating system works well on the more modern hardware, and release a single product when the time is right.
There should be no decimal after the deck 2, keep the product focused, don't divide your labor and multiply your potential bugs.
Also please have your operating system developers try using the deck interface for things besides gaming, trading, forum posting and even browsing the store is hampered by easily replicable bugs.

Mosquitos feed on apex predators and feed the nearly bottom of the food chain. Imo they're up there with salmon in terms of nutrient transfer, absolutely would cause chaos at all levels if they were eliminated.

"Enter Rajendra Gupta, a seasoned physics professor who isn’t afraid to question the status quo. With years of research under his belt, Gupta is shaking up our understanding of the universe."
One of these days a room temperature super conductor, or a unified theory of everything, will be discovered, but probably not from an older researcher who is too comfortable not taking questioning seriously.

Big claims to grab clicks.
I'm not a fan of dark matter, I find myself liking MOND, but it's going to take a lot of positive results to even begin moving the needle, a problem the sciences have often exhibited, though mostly correctly.

GeForce now uses 20 gigs/hour at the highest quality, how are they not just sending the entire video to your screen, what more do they need to send??

Why does the terrain take more (much more) bandwidth than a video stream?
And what the heck do you mean they're "streaming the terrain" surely it would be a one and done date transfer, much smaller than a live video packet stream, that amount of bandwidth is insane, you could do multiple 4k streams.
Donjuanme 6d ago • 50%
But how much data does it take to send terrain information? Why not just send the picture of the terrain every moment (stream it) rather than whatever they're doing?
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
I'm entirely new to sync, I feel like this will be common knowledge, but I went to expand a comment thread, it said "1/2 comments added" and the "view more (2)" button disappeared, it loaded 1 comment, but I'd be interested to see what that other comment was. Thanks Lemmy-syncers More info, just updated the app and the first thread I was trying to read showed both comments, but the second thread gave the same response, I was leaning towards "it's not showing deleted by creator" except it loaded 2/2 for one of the previous 1/2 threads.

Quite a fun game, and the price has never been better, I'm not sure how long it'll be free so grab it while your can. The "endless" universe games, and their spice, have never really caught on with me, but this one was very easy to pick up and play, especially with the heavy+medic+pyro team from the TF2 update. Don't let this one go past you!
If you weren't a child in the 90s you may not have experienced this gem, now is your chance! Rolling a d100 august 1st to pick a winner! Please choose your number, closest number selected gets it. Also please feel free to add your name to the Kerbal space program giveaway that I left up while work tried to murder me. I'll pick a winner for that Sunday night.
Winner picked at random from the comments, good luck everyone!
Alright guys! I’m putting up 3 classic console games in three different threads with three different win conditions. All 3 winners will be selected around the same time Saturday, notified in thread and pm’d the key. 3rd entry condition is going to be how many "perfect" completion games do I have in my library? (Hint for constraint purposes, it's less than 50). First entry of each number has that number, duplicates don't get duplicate prizes. Good luck everyone! Results posted in 45 hours!
Alright guys! I’m putting up 3 classic console games in three different threads with three different win conditions. All 3 winners will be selected around the same time Saturday, notified in thread and pm’d the key. To enter this competition please respond with respond with the minutes and seconds (xx:xx) of whichever YouTube music song plays next when I press random on my mega mix playlist (over 600 songs, first song over 2:00 and under 5 minutes, 5:00)
Alright guys! I'm putting up 3 classic console games in three different threads with three different win conditions. All 3 winners will be selected around the same time Saturday, notified in thread and pm'd the key. To enter this competition I'd like you to guess how many hours my wife's most played steam game has on it (it's going to be somewhere between 500 and 2000 hours, what is the answer? I don't know yet!)
Please comment on this thread to be eligible for this awesome game. If you're into zachtronics this is very much in line with space chem, if you have no idea what I'm talking about this game is a great intro to a 1 of a kind genre. Drawing ends Wednesday after my d&d session (10pm PST)
I hate to see this community existing without a giveaway going, so the next one is monster sanctuary. This game is one of my favorite melting pots of genres, a platforming, party building, metroidvania, Pokemon style RPG with seasonal ladder competitions. I have a spare key from a humble bundle that is going to be used by one of you! Add yourself to the comment thread below to be entered. Winner selected at random in 34 hours Edit, next game will be posted to this subreddit within 24 hours. Stay tuned!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1850570/DEATH_STRANDING_DIRECTORS_CUT/ I'll roll my lucky d100 tomorrow (11:30 Pacific time) and whoever is closest can have this gem! Please make sure you have a unique number, if two people have the same number and it comes up first person with that number gets it. No editing posts, if you think of something you want to add make it a response to your comment. If I see multiple numbers from one account I'll only accept the first number that account posted. Equal distance tie goes to the lower number. Community creator please reach out if this isn't the way you want it done and I'll start it over fresh using whatever system you choose. Good luck everyone! (If I'm non responsive tomorrow night entries will be cut off and I'll get to it as quickly as possible) Edited to add platform Edit 2. I've set an alarm for 23 hours from now, there's little chance I'm passed out at that time. If all 100 numbers are used I'll post 2 more games of higher current value (thanks steam sale!) tomorrow, with 200 entry limits each. If we don't reach, no worries, I still intend to post them in the future. Last edit for this thread (probably), rolled a damn 100, also rolled 4 more rolls over 50 and a 49. You all owe my dice some good luck. I've got plenty more games to give, be sure to check this sublemmy for future giveaways.
To make a long story short, puff daddy's my uncle.
I started watching Dr who when the reboot was 3 seasons in, I think David Tennant was the greatest doctor. A few years later I finally got wife to give it a shot as I started a fresh rewatch in preparation for Matt Smith's second season, she was ok with Eccelston and Tennant but Matt Smith is far and away her favorite doctor. Does this pattern hold true for any other Dr fans?
