I truly wish we had more politicians that behave in this manner. It should never boil down to my political party versus yours. There shouldn't be any sides to governing this country.

What's called sweet tea in the US is overwhelmingly sweet. That was my reaction to it the first time I tried it. It's so sweet, the only way you can get that much sugar in it is if you dissolve that sugar in hot tea.

Holy moly, I'm not big on politics but I had to look up the clip of this and in addition to the ridiculousness of saying this, he actually talks like how people meme his speech patterns. I thought it was embellishments and exaggerations.

Got any videos from these days? Always down for ska

As far as we're aware, dark matter only interacts with the universe gravitationally. It doesn't even interact with itself, which is why we don't see dark planets/stars/galaxies popping into existence. It only follows normal matter around.

As for why it's not called cold, is for two reasons:

  1. Cold gases of normal matter can condense to form stars. Dark matter doesn't interact with itself, which implies it cannot condense into more concentrated forms of itself the way a gas cloud can eventually form a star.
  2. We just don't know what the stuff is, it could be clouds, planets, black holes, neutron stars, brown dwarfs, etc. But our best observations of dark matter are from very large distances away where we can measure the distortion of spacetime due to dark matter. We can't see these smaller objects at these distances. But we should be able to see other clues that would indicate it's normal matter.

If it happened to be clouds of gas and dust that overall had a net gravitational effect on the background galaxies, we'd be able to detect the spectral lines of these clouds. Same for just about all the other objects in that list. In some cases we do detect intergalactic gas clouds. But in places where there's very clearly unaccounted for gravitational lensing, there isn't any sign of this. So far the only things we can match up to the observations is a mathematical model of the stuff.

I've been seeing a few details coming out from this about gas pipelines being a big reason for a push into this particular region of Russia. But things I haven't seen talked about are things like this will cause Russia to have to spread troops thinner from the eastern fronts to handle this incursion. It's also far enough away from Belarus that they don't need to worry about any collateral damage. And most importantly, it's in the general direction of Moscow so it cranks things up a notch in terms of proximity to the general population.

HFY = Humanity Fuck Yeah! A place for writers to post their stories about humans being awesome. Many of them were sci-fi space operas which is what I loved.

From a technical standpoint, I can't see media-heavy social media in the format of Facebook lasting too long in a federated environment considering the costs involved to maintain the server instance. Trying to do that while being free is absolutely unsustainable. Another shift in resource management would have to happen before platforms like that would be inexpensive and scalable.

Currently, Lemmy instances are slowly and steadily growing with each user interaction within, and between instances. Most shared content is link aggregation meaning minimal server resources. But resource usage goes up much faster when images, or even videos are uploaded to be shared. This format will only grow more expensive over time, and definitely won't last in the current format.

The price seems very high for each ingredient but it sounds great as a breakfast

This looks like it came straight out of Omega Mart

Oh neat, didn't know it had this feature, thanks!

OP are you a bot?

Stahp, you're gonna give me brain whiplash

I love you, thanks! Had no idea this was already integrated into the keyboard already.

I had some help in my ass

I'll bite the bait and ask you to explain how Starlink satellites contribute towards the space junk problem without having to reference astronomy or bringing up you-know-who's name.
