I live in Ohio in the US and it seems like some of the trees around here have started turning colors way earlier than normal. Is it from the wildfires? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

I have heard that willpower is finite and every person starts their day with a limited capacity....

Currently, if your eyes are closed you can still get a sense of the light around you, and moving your head around you can tell if you’re moving it toward or away from a light source (barring maybe if you’re outdoors and it’s bright out all around you)....

Try it. Move your Steam window around. See how it snaps to the edges of your display(s)?...

Seeing that they need quite a lot of clean water, which is not widely available everywhere during the entire year in big amounts, especially with these droughts due to climate change.

Aren’t they just buildings and infra?

I do recognise that a lot of it is probably just playing up for the joke, but I assume it has to come from somewhere. I regularly see posts where basically Person A sends an odd image/message, then follows up with “wrong number, sorry” and Person B responds with “wait stay”....

At what age would you stop buying presents for nieces and nephews? I have 3 and they’re all officially out of college now. They live in a different state. When they were little kids the presents made sense but now it seems forced. I just don’t know how to transition away other than just not doing it.

I’m using Jerboa, which I think is nice, but it doesn’t seem to me that it has any mod tools. This prevents me from addressing mod issues while I’m away from my computer. Are there any Android apps that come withod tools, such as report notifications, post/comment deletion, community editing, etc?...

From my understanding: I get that for honeybees, they need the nectar to make honey (their energy food source) and the pollen is an additional, essential food source for them which contains protein. They collect both nectar and pollen from flowers. For other pollinators like wasps, they don’t make honey but they still need to...

Was a lot of it classic word of mouth, email, etc.?...

Hey there,...

Hey, I study special needs education for blind/visually impairment (and for hearing and deafblindness)....

I’m new to RSS and I’m trying to get into it. I don’t really check out news all too often, so mostly the other parts of RSS. Thanks.

This means no sales, no themed merchandise, no decorations. December 25 and most other day are treated just like any other day for all stores malls, restaurants, ect....

The Gaza Strip seems very poorly served by the Palestinian Authority, let alone Israel. But, the area has relatively stable borders and it would likely have a stable government in Hamas. So, what if Gaza just declared independence as the government with sole control over the Gaza Strip?...

I don’t mean IPA symbols (which I can’t read) but rather characters from a normal alphabet being used to phoneticise a word, e.g. excerpt is pronounced “[EK] + [SURPT]”. What would this be called? Letter-based phoneticisation?

We’re Polish living in Germany and were invited to a wedding in India by a friend of ours. The groom is Indian and the bride is Mexican, to make things more complicated. It’s planned at the end of November. That’s the first time going to India for us, we don’t know much about the culture. We don’t know what we should...

I’ve gone down a rabbit hole here....

New EV owner here. We charge at home so I don’t need to use them, but stores nearby have chargers. I tried them to see how they work. They are often broken....

I bought a “Buy It Now” item, payment went through. Two days later, I got an email saying I got a refund. I looked at the order and I looks like I indeed got a full refund. There are no notes or messages from the seller, so I’m not really sure what happened. Should I message the seller? Report that I haven’t received the...

So long story short I’ve worked with proprietary software X for a long time, and specifically I do a lot of work investigating the SQL database for software X. Writing custom reports, making queries to find problems, the like....

I have wondered many times how a human would fare if the kidneys dumped urine into the start of the large intestines somewhere about the appendix instead of into a bladder to be sprayed out. I’m assuming water would be reabsorbed and slower to process out, primarily through sweat and evaporation from the lungs, and maybe...

I’ve been trying to find the name of a song from The Grand Tour on Amazon, but there’s only a few seconds of music and none of the Shazam-like applications can identify it. Is there a Lemmy community for helping people identify music? If anyone is curious about the song, I’m linking it below:...
