After some thought, I've decided that we should refer to this apparent lapse by journalists as "Oceangate-gate-gate"

After decades of journalists attaching the suffix "gate" to anything even remotely scandalous, I was disappointed that I never heard anyone embrace the full stupidity of this practice by referring to this story as "Oceangate-gate"

Thanks to your comments, I went looking at more about Jupiter's influence on us and read that most of the other planets are more in line with Jupiter's orbital plane than the Sun's equatorial plane (which sounds impressive, but maybe only makes complete sense since the planets would have all initially formed from the same disk). Anyway, thanks

I don't know. I don't think we should make excuses for Jupiter just because of its size. Pluto's doing the best it can. Could any of us do any better, so far out from the sun?

Exactly. That's also why Jupiter, which shares its orbit with thousands of asteroids, isn't a planet either.

It is sad that on any topic concerning South America, I am suspicious of anything that the US says.

Along the same lines, it is so strange to me that we take in various solids and fluids into our bodies and rarely really think about it. To eat is to put things that we find in the world into us and ...

I use Jerboa in list view, which gives me a nice, compact presentation of a number of posts on my phone screen. This is great, except now the list is full of left-right scrolling text whenever a community name is too long to display in the allotted space. This is very distracting, and I would love to turn off this scrolling

I looked through the settings, but I don't see a way to turn this off, or a way to simply not display the community name at all (not my preference, but I'd take it over the scrolling)

Can anyone help? My post listings look like they are on a web page from 1998

Edit: Now I see that the scrolling is also applied to long user names as well, and is used in areas other than post listings. This seems to have just started with the latest release. I really hope this can be turned off in settings. It feels like geo-cities in here
