That last bit is the important thing. If someone tells you pronouns, use them. If someone tells you they prefer "they/them" and you keep using he or she on purpose, you are disrespecting them.

We all make mistakes sometimes and most people I've met who use alternative pronouns that may conflict with their socially expected appearance don't mind correcting someone a few times or will brush it off a few times, but more than that, especially if you see and interact with this person regularly, you become an asshole.

Yes, but no. My company is working in a proprietary engine, so there is almost no one we can hire with that engine experience, but we still want people who became familiar and strong with other engines because they can do it again with ours.

Don't be too discouraged by this, but start learning your next engine.

We estimate the age of some stars to be older than the estimated age of the universe. JWST observations have also made it "worse". https://youtu.be/hps-HfpL1vc?si=H9tdTD3DJYLkalvx

Sodium-ion are being applied in real world use cases.

It sounds like it depended on an FDA rule that was changed this year.

Kinda neat to create a way to experience an older expansion that many newer players missed, outside of the Classic method.

Shane it is time limited and not a permanent thing, though.

Based on Twitter definitions of state affiliated, govt funded, and public funded, NPR aligns the least with state affiliated and most with publicly funded, right?

How state-affiliated media accounts are defined

State-affiliated media is defined as outlets where the state exercises control over editorial content through financial resources, direct or indirect political pressures, and/or control over production and distribution. Accounts belonging to state-affiliated media entities, their editors-in-chief, and/or their prominent staff may be labeled. We will also add labels to Tweets that share links to state-affiliated media websites.

How government-funded media accounts are defined

Government-funded media is defined as outlets where the government provides some or all of the outlet’s funding and may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content. We may use external sources similar to this one in order to determine when this label is applied.

How publicly-funded media accounts are defined

Publicly-funded media refers to media organizations that receive funding from license fees, individual contributions, public financing, and commercial financing.

But he just gave them all the power. He needs them. They can demand higher wages, better conditions, etc.

I've seen some discussion that selling the platform is a way to get a more pro-isreal/anti-palestine owner that will censor certain content or viewpoints.

Support ranked choice voting first. Once we have that, a huge portion of the power the two parties have will fall away

I don't mind driving, especially through the mountains. So I don't really think twice driving for 3 hours each way to spend an hour apple picking, for instance.

Why have there been so many threads about this? Are you associated with the mod or maker or something trying to keep them going or something? Just keep seeing your name associated with it.

Are you using the same user name? I had a similar issue with my local instance, ended up just having to make a new user name, since the previous one was already known about, even though all of the other instance says was different. So it wouldn't federated my posts and comments. Admin tried a bunch of stuff to no avail.

One supports the killing or elimination of lgbtq+ people, the other doesn't. That is enough reason for me, even outside of the other reasons they are not the same.

Oregon is definitely an example for other states to follow in this regard.

Link seems to be trying to find a user rather than a community. At least in the Connect app.

The left vs right thing in Japan depends on the city. Particularly for escalators. Some places will have signs that say to stand on left while others say to stand on right. Others also say not to walk on the escalator, but people always ignore that.

Not likely, I think. Hosting text and images is far less expensive than high quality video to compete with YouTube or others.

A get where you are coming from, but my perspective when I was younger was that I could spend $15 a month to play this basically limitless game or spend $50-60 per game that would be a 40-50 hour experience. So for me, the value of that subscription was huge.

I think if modern games stuck with subscriptions without other mtx, that puts the most incentive on making a good game that is worth playing for a long time. But all the sub based games also have mtx these days, and there is also the incentive to make things just a little worse by default and offer a paid item to ease that a bit, the whole "pay for convenience" thing.

Hard to say without knowing your full situation.

Does your power utility do net metering? How much do you expect to generate compared to your usage on a annual basis?

I got a 6.5kW system a few years ago for a final price of around 12k after rebates. It covers nearby all of my usage and my provider does net metering, so really good days cover less good days, summer covers winter, etc.

Scrolling through what is there currently, only 1 tarot related meme. Overall good lulz

Similar to the Matrix idea. It really doesn't matter in the end to how we live our lives, what we experience and perceive is our reality.

Some astronomers are looking at JWST data and claiming they are seeing galaxies with red shifts in the range of 11-20, which if accurate, correspond to ages older than we'd expect to see galaxies of such size formed. Other astronomers disagree, and believe that the results aren't so clear. This the "hubble tension" or "crisis in cosmology" maybe still live on.

It is exciting, either we get more data to confirm our current understanding or we need to discover be physics and form new theories that align with the data. Either way is great, imo.

That was part of HD1, wasn't it? So probably not that, right?

First time I think I've seen an article that uses "X" exclusively for Twitter.

I put some hours into it a few months ago and had a good time, but one of the things that I hope they add is better conditions for routes. Maybe I was missing something, but I was having a hard time getting my workers to actually get in the trains I wanted them to.

Does that still get registered that way if identical links/posts are cross posted instead of duplicated?

I regularly see duplicate rather than cross post, which is a shame.

As I understand it, there is a way to format links that will open the community on your current instance. I've seen people say that, anyway, but don't know what that link format is.
