It’s even more important than your drink! The fact that I’ve floats is what allows ice to act as an insulator on top of frozen lakes and oceans. If it sank, liquid water would take its place and freeze. After a while the whole body of water would be frozen.

… do y’all not know where Asia is? Both of those are European conflicts

I’ve found myself switching to New because of the much smaller community size. I’d like to participate more than I have in other places. If I wasn’t doing that, I’d use Active to see what others are saying.

After reading that, I really wonder what the process is to get credentialed. How did he get in? I went to the website, and I only found three authors on a quick scan of the different sections: Simon Ateba, Femi Adesina, and Noah Pitcher. Femi Adesina works for the President of Nigeria as well, and focuses on Nigerian politics. Noah Pitcher works for Kevin McCarthy (the Current Speaker of the US House), but his stories focus on West Africa as well.

The website looks busy but polished on the main page, but sloppy work becomes apparent quickly. They can’t seem to decide on whether or not they’re capitalizing links. The banner across the top is a straight rip of the New York Post. If you try to look up Adesina or Pitcher’s work, a few stories load but the “Loading” at the bottom never goes away. In the links at the bottom, they still have a “Test Page 2” Link! There’s also a strange subheading under the Health and Business Sections. Upon looking it up, it’s the beginning of a quote from Goethe’s The Sorrows of Young Werther which leads me to believe it was a placeholder from their website builder that they never replaced or erased.

This certainly seems like a low-budget mouthpiece for a certain political view.

That seems like a great place to get old and walk in the glow of each other’s majestic presence.

Seriously. That’s a show where I could only do one or two at a time.

As @twistedtxb@lemmy.world said, not really. You can go to sub.rehab and import your subreddits, though! That’s how I found more communities.

From what I’m seeing in the Georgia Tech video and paper in the article, the materials might be able to let light through. Could this be a good idea for a coating on solar panels?

It’s fun to watch someone’s reaction to hearing the scream from The Grudge for the first time. In-fucking-sane.

From what I’m seeing, much of this matches up with Mozilla’s political views and none of it is a surprise. Sounds like a “monster of the week” right wing piece.
