This is because the microscope blocks photons. OP should use a gamma camera or x-ray to see through the microscope body.

Blender is the gold standard for what a runaway success of foss looks like. I'd love to see FreeCAD get there, but they'll need significant investment to do so.

snakes are wild animals, they're inherently a dangerous predator

That's how you sound. Have you been outside?

I could easily run from a shark. They don't even have legs

I don't know why the question was asked in the city. Go out to the forest women and ask them.

In general, people and bears don't want to hassle each other, doubly so for those in the woods. If you encounter either, you're probably going to be fine. However, bears won't stalk you, pretend to be friendly to gain your trust with the intention of harming you. Men won't go into a blind rage because hibernation season is around the corner and you're standing between them and a delicious tuna sandwich. Honestly if I'm alone in the woods I'd rather encounter an animal than a person because I was in the woods to be alone.

If you are in the woods and encounter a man or mountain lion

  • make yourself look as big as possible
  • maintain eye contact
  • demonstrate you are a threat
  • don't trust his lies

If you encounter a bear

  • avoid getting between a mother and her cubs
  • take extra precautions to bearproof your food at your campsite
  • back away slowly while facing the bear (without maintaining eye contact)
  • under no circumstances should you fight a bear

The dang old ESL filter makes it impossible to recognize bad English out in public. My wife got a shit that reads "force of the nature" and neither of our brains perceived the "the"

In Android, holding power and selecting "lockdown" locks out access until your pin is entered. However, if you're at a protest or something where illegal arrests are likely, turn your phone 100% off.

 

It's useful when you're done with a post or comment, but I don't see how to do it in Jerboa or in Lemmy general. Is this possible? If not, is there energy behind this feature?

One thing people forget is long distance fees. Cell phones basically did away with long distance fees, and we're better for that. However, landlines have some notable benefits:

  • self-powered, you could call in a power outage
  • high fidelity, yeah it was bandpass filtered, but everything in that filter made it through
  • freedom of usage, it was hard-fought but you could plug anything into your phone line, from more phones to answering machines to computer modems. There was a whole market around "dumb shit you plugged into your phone line" products

We're still way better overall with cell phones, but something was lost to get them.

As the saying goes, "graphene can do anything except leave the lab"

I think this is a really interesting take. Communism doesn't mean taking a vow of poverty or being a good person, but I can see how it would seem hypocritical to not spend that money funding support for labor rather than hoarding it.

It's probably worth exploring why people over 14 listen to his music and his politics. One interesting reason is people who resonate with the emotional core of the music, but disagree or don't understand his politics. Another is people who genuinely feel that violence may be necessary to bring about communism. Additionally, some people feel catharsis listening to violent music/media without supporting violence.

I think it's worthwhile to empathize with people you disagree with. It can help better understand their viewpoint and solidify yours by contrast.

I'm curious, do you have any recommendations for music made by leftists who aren't rich and don't support violence? It's ok if not, I'm just interested in expanding my listening.
