Unfortunately I go there still anonymously for when I need help or advice on certain life things, but I browse in a social media sense on Lemmy.
I’ve said this before: if there was a way to create more discoverability of Lemmy through a search engine, I’d choose it over reddit. Lemmy has different domain names based on server/instance, and that makes wild card searching impossible.
I know there are other search engines out there specifically for Lemmy, but that doesn’t work for me.
Not arguing with you, but I wanted to contribute by saying that most people, at least in the US, are also deficient in magnesium, zinc, and vitamin D. For all this effort carnivores are putting into to convince others that their diets are sufficient, often times those making those claims haven’t looked inward to see what they themselves are lacking. Perhaps it’s a complex issue, dunno
Holy shit TIL, thanks
I feel like this can still be a native lawn depending on which biome it’s in. Seems more desert like than a prairie/forest type “native lawn” you might traditionally think of.
But yeah native can look different depending on location so I might be ok with this
There is the risk of tick transmission of Lyme disease in tall grass. I suppose you can pretreat to prevent contraction, but mowing grass means you don’t have those threats/hazards to worry about.
I still hate lawns and wish more would be native, but I wonder if there’s a way to grow a native lawn such that you invite the good wildlife and keep out the bad. Would need a biologist to chime in
That guy was an asshole for doing that to you. I wonder if that might be considered trespassing. Dunno if you can have any civil remedy served to you, or if it’s even worth it, but still sucks.
Remember it’s not just about saving honey bees! Honey bees are domesticated, which means that humans will make sure that they have food and shelter and appropriate medicine and care throughout the year to ensure they make honey.
Saving “the bees” moreso means saving wild, native, often times solitary bees like bumblebees or carpenter bees that don’t produce honey but that also aren’t domesticated - they have no safety net that humans give them.
Those bees along with all other pollinators like bats, birds, and other insects are the ones at risk!
Still, we should all consider growing native yards to return habitat back to these dying species!
I was meaning slugger as in the common American trope of a baseball player that hits home runs regularly, didn’t know Dead by Daylight had those!
A slugger in the sheets maybe LUL
This is perfect xD I saw people calling it Trump Steel but this is so much better xD
I love this meme
There’s a lot of harm actually. Not to you, but:
To lots of cows/sheep/goats that have to be forcibly impregnated by humans or by socially inept bulls/rams/billies that physically/sexually assault said animals, to be forcibly separated from their offspring by humans upon birth to widespread emotional distress, to be forcibly maneuvered into a cage and hooked up to tubes for hours at a time to extract their milk (aka breast milk for baby cows/sheep/goats) for days and weeks and months on end, and to be forcibly killed at an early age by humans to extract all parts of the animals’ corpses for human taste sensation or as protection from the environment (clothing).
Then, lots of humans get harmed during the impregnation/separation/killing steps above either due to the animals retaliating against humans, or due to humans getting injured from the machinery that processes animal corpses, or due to the illnesses that arise from working in environments that process animal corpses, or due to the illnesses that arise from living around environments that process animal corpses.
Lots of harm behind it that you don’t see, and that’s by design.
Fairphone 4 from certain vendors comes preloaded with e/OS which is like a deGoogled Android. Might work for people looking to move away from Google. I’m considering it myself for my next phone.
Lemmy[.]ca user for this reason haha
I think about the difference between the two using differences instead of absolutes. That looks like this:
It’s kind of hard to do this calc:
F = [ (9/5) * C ] + 32
Or this one:
C = (5/9) * (F - 32)
I refer to those as absolute equations. You have to take into account the pesky offset everytime you want to convert. What if we drop it? This makes:
F = (9/5) * C = 1.8 * C
C = (5/9) * F ~= 0.6 * F
I refer to those as relative or difference equations because if you subtract a temperature from the other, you get the same thing:
F1 = [ (9/5) * C1 ] + 32
F2 = [ (9/5) * C2 ] + 32
F2 - F1 = [ (9/5) * C2 ] + 32 - { [ (9/5) * C1 ] + 32 }
= [ (9/5) * C2 ] - [ (9/5) * C1 ] + 32 - 32
= [ (9/5) * C2 ] - [ (9/5) * C1 ]
= (9/5) [ C2 - C1 ]
F2 - F1 = (9/5) (C2 - C1)
∆F = (9/5) ∆C
So, why is this useful?
Say you have a temperature in Celsius and want to go to Fahrenheit. Simply multiply that number in your head by 1.8 (or think of this as multiplying by 180° as in trig) and finally add to 32. So, 1 °C is (1 * 1.8) + 32 °F or about 34 °F.
Going the other way is a little bit weirder. I make approximations when going the other way by thinking of 180° and how that can be divided. So, 180°, 90°, 45°, etc. corresponds to 1.8 °F (1 °C), 0.9 (0.5 °C), 0.45 °F (0.25 °C), etc. I also approximate by choosing the nearest multiple of 5 or 10 °C (9 or 18 °F). So, 44 °F is between 41 °F (5 °C) and 50 °F (10 °C), closer to 41. It’s off by 3, which is about 3.6, which is 2 in Celsius world. This means 44 °F is about 7 °C.
Hope you get the gist! Celsius really is better. I remember this in a pinch:
10 °C = 50 °F
20 °C = 68 °F
30 °C = 86 °F
40 °C = 104 °F
50 °C = 122 °F
Etc.
The freezing temps are a little hard since you cross zero into negatives, but the extrapolation can help
There are bus services in rural US where companies pick up people who’ve signed up. It’s not even a market problem at this point.
People are just NIMBYs and averse to change, or at least the ones who show up to the local town council.
