Sure, no argument there. There's a choice to be made between "post the second story as a comment to the first one" and "post the second story a a separate topic". I'm in favor of the first approach to keep discussion in one spot, but it's not something I feel super-strongly about.

Avoiding dupes is, I think, an important one. We've had multiple instances on Beehaw of the same story showing up more than once. If you try to post a duplicate link, Lemmy will let you know (by showing the previous copies to you as crossposts). It's harder to make sure you're not posting the second or third story from a different source on the same topic. Perhaps we can just encourage people to search before posting.
I'd like the rules to at least ask people to add an image description in their original post. https://beehaw.org/post/686974 would be good to link to here.
And given the nature of many posts in the news, I think it would be good for this community to remind people to be(e) nice in their discussions.
I'm jealous. Mostly what I've managed to do with African violets is kill them. Probably overwatering, so perhaps I'll try again after our move next year - right now I'm trying to cut down on the number of pots we'll need to move!
Clearly someone needs to figure out how to get an old Furby to interact with a new Furby.
(Of course, someone has already done ChatGPT + Furby)
Their web site is down, but their Github account is currently still available, with 3D printing files and software for their microlab.
You appear to be unable or unwilling to distinguish between "preventing births" and "voluntarily choosing not to have children."
Not sure why you're quite so interested in escalating the rhetoric here (forced sterilization? in a thread that started with individual action to save honeybees? really?) but in view of the first rule of Beehaw ("Be(e) nice") I'm not interested in joining you.

Telling one person that they can help out by not having kids is rather different from, as the dictionary says
the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group
Even suggesting to a whole group of people not to have kids is not the same as killing them.
So no, it's not a logical conclusion. It's illogical rhetoric. But you do you, I guess.
Here in the middle of America, it's not SUVs - it's full-size pickup trucks. Just as much of an ecological and safety disaster though.
I'm pretty sure that discovering a new isotope while working on your MS guarantees that you'll get the degree.
Yep, I get it. Effectively block ads and javascript and it doesn't much matter what a site wants to do. I skip the few that have actually effective paywalls (as opposed to just putting a div over content on the page - as far as I'm concerned, if it's downloaded to my computer, I am allowed to read it). Of course, the sites that load up on ads tend to be pretty low-quality content anyhow.

This is why I use DuckDuckGo instead of Google, and Firefox with a few selected extensions that ensure I almost never see an ad. I would be shocked if Google enabled any long-term ad-free experience.
I spent most of the morning at Mogan Ridge West, putting in about 12 miles in all. Basically, I hiked the outer loop, though I did bushwhack about a mile and a half for variety.
We're definitely into summer hiking weather here, with high humidity, spider webs, gnats, and ticks. This trail also hasn't seen much use lately, so it's overgrown in grass in many areas. About half of it is gravel road, so you can combine unpleasant walking surface with increased ticks and chiggers.
Still, it was a pleasant walk in the woods and decent exercise. I met one other hiker about halfway and we swapped notes on which local trails were worth revisiting. Fortunately we were hiking in opposite directions so we didn't have to have the awkward conversation about whether to hike together.

I am fortunate enough to live mere blocks from a local CSA farm (they hung on to a few acres of farmland when their family sold most of the area for a housing development) and we're getting into good harvest season. Today's haul: radishes, carrots, turnips, basil, cherry tomatoes, kale, edible flowers, onions, lettuce, oyster & lion's mane mushrooms. Veggies for dinner tonight! (and yes, if you can find me, you're invited).
If you have a CSA in your area, I urge you to check out the cost of membership. If you can afford it, it's usually a win both for small farmers and for the quality of your diet.
