Grants Pass? Yeah that sounds about right. Bunch of Rogue Valley rednecks and Californians.

I say that as a relative of one of those Rogue Valley rednecks.

I’ll bite. I have no idea what the picture is doing or referencing and the joke answers are confusing because, again, I don’t get “the joke”.

NGL I was looking into what it would cost to buy residency abroad years ago. I have a career that is on the list for in demand skills some places that would make it a but easier.

But also I am way too poor for that shit.

So…a COVID variant or something else? The article seemed like it was intentionally avoiding addressing what the illness is. They only mention that the community was ravaged by COVID in 2022 and it was somewhat awkwardly placed in the article.

It’s literally the only thing I bring up in social situations because it feels like a safe topic lol.

The % of religious zealots who hear it and ask me if I believe in Jebus and that the earth is 6k has really gone down over the years. Not zero though.

Nope, not zero.

I’ve never been there but it was the project location for my remote sensing class. There are some massive alluvial fans, I think it is the area for a lot of seminal papers on alluvial fan behavior and morphology. In our class we used satellite multi spectral images to map based on element composition, like how they do on other planets which was cool.

In both undergrad and grad school there were courses other people took that had field trips across the country to visit there. IIRC one was Neotectonics and the other was I think some Structure-based elective? Meaning it has faults and maybe folds (dunno, never been) that make it a seismically interesting area.

Man I’ve gone my whole career without ever dealing with this BS. We use USCS. One time my boss had to deal with it because of some permitting shenanigans with an agency (USDA?) and he said it was stupid.

People are downvoting you because they are probably from a Western country and haven’t heard of this before.

To them I advise they Google “gangs hunting organ donors”.

This absolutely happens in multiple countries.

I’m sorry you face this threat.

Hot dog! I knew there’d be a juicy explanation in the comments. Way to be my dude.

weariedfae ,

Yes. There isn’t much coal where I’m at but I’ve stumbled over it a few times while mucking around in the woods, streams, or whatever. I’ve even seen anthracite on the beach that either came from nearby or fell off a ship.

I came in here ready to defend delicious aspartame from people who aren’t science literate and was surprised to see many really good arguments and comments already posted. Lemmy, you’re pretty cool as a community right now.

NASA is holding a total eclipse 2024 briefing today. Here's how to watch it live (www.space.com)

On April 8, a total solar eclipse will sweep across North America. The path of totality — a 115-mile (185-kilometer) wide route where https://www.space.com/55-earths-moon-formation-composition-and-orbit.html will cover 100% of https://www.space.com/58-the-sun-formation-facts-and-characteristics.html’s disk — stretches...

I traveled to the path of totality on 2017 and it was wild. Totally indescribable, highly recommend.

There is a regional passport office in Seattle where you can get a passport in one day. I think there are certain conditions like the other user said.

I drove my friend into the city to do this when their passport application got fucked up in processing and they were traveling abroad that week. My friend is from a nearby state and apparently Seattle is like the only place you can do it on the west coast or something?

weariedfae ,

Oh for sure, without a doubt. Hell it took forever for people to figure out feathers.

Then again, on rare occasion we do get some cool skin/soft tissue evidence like that Nodosaurus in Canada. Sometimes they’re strikingly similar to what we thought (or not?). I am not a paleontologist and I am speaking out of my ass.

That Nodosaurus is super cool though, y’all should see it.

Bog bodies are dope as hell.

I am not a doctor.

Q: physically, how are you watching them? On a couch? Lying in bed? Hunched over on the bus? Phone? TV? Do you have auto motion plus enabled (you monster)? Do you watch it in one place? Has that room been checked for carbon monoxide? Is it a basement? Has it been checked for radon?

It could be a lot of things and there’s not enough information provided but the first thing that occurred to me is blood pressure. Do you have a blood pressure cuff? Try to use it when you’re feeling light headed and when you’re not and comparing numbers.

It could be a physical things about the position of your body, pressure on something because you’re hunched over or something. It could be a visual things too. There are conditions where moving/changing visuals could affect you.

It’s kind of overwhelming all of the things it could be and you really should go to a doctor.

While you’re waiting for your appointment try to make observations about what is the same about reading vs watching and what is different. This will help them figure out what to investigate.

The free stuff has vastly dwindled in the last 7 years. Honestly even the vendors hawking wares are hardly there anymore.

I remember a world…a 2013-2017 world…where the swag was good and flowed like free drink tickets.

Vox does not know the definition of melancholy.

I would have accepted nostalgia as an appropriate sadness and joy pairing.

Also anxiety is NOT sadness and fear. I think that should be something like despondent or despair and then the sadness-sadness would be depression.

Likewise I think prejudice would be disgust and fear and disgust-disgust would be revulsion.

Also is the green emotion canonically disgust? Not envy/jealousy? I only half paid attention when my niece was watching the movie.

weariedfae ,

To be honest I don’t think I’ve watched the whole movie. I was just tripping on the Vox chart word definitions.

Kitchen dust that has married airborne grease has entered the chat.

In all seriousness I’m too busy battling toothpaste, misc hair/skin products, soaps, and unmentionables to notice bathroom dust.

Dude this doesn’t surprise me. I was trying to find out what the technical terms were for the types of “stones” that are in my fireplace so I could replace a broke one and holy cow, there’s no way. Industry just makes up a bunch of bat crap terms and then hides knowledge behind shit like masonry guilds.

Illuminati confirmed? Lol!

I delete about 80% of the comments I write before posting. Even if I took the time to write a long response. This is because of the general nature of the Internet and reddit culture is definitely here on Lemmy. But, like this comment, I’ll try to engage more because I also miss the discussion aspect on posts.

When I was a teen I was pretty much like Silent Bob in Mallrats but now my spirit is broken.

I just found out that Humble Bundle has a book bundle for Terry Pratchett's Discworld. A 39 book bundle that is redeemed through Kobo.com.

Edit: Only available in the US.

  1. Can you download a DRM’d file from Kobo?
  2. Does it…ahem…can it “work” with something like Calibre?

Otherwise I will continue to slowly accumulate them through used bookstores.

Good to know, thanks!

At some point in your childhood you and your friends went outside to play one last time, but you never knew it. /credit to @showerthoughts

weariedfae ,

Actually, I knew. We were immature and playing for longer than other kids but there was a feeling the last time. I can picture it now, running around in the dark giggling and as our Make Believe characters. It was harder to assume our roles that time. We promised to play again at the next sleepover but somehow, I knew. There was a crisp winter feeling of finality and I felt that we were leaving the world of pretend behind. The next time we hung out we did other things that were fun. Dance to Whitney Houston, read books, sneak into their mom’s room to try on all of her random hats, general pre-teen shenanigans.

I think we knew we were behind. At least I was aware of it. For a while we didn’t care but the horrors of puberty come for us all I suppose.

Volcanic Pyroclastic flows: What are some good analogies to understand the full spectrum of causes?

I’m trying to wrap my head around something that appears far more complex than I first thought. I don’t understand the explosive elements and chemistry that drives ash production and the heat to create the eruption column. I’m aware of how molten metal behaves in a foundry crucible with flux and degassing required. So I...

weariedfae ,

Here are some resources to clear up the difference between eruptions and flows and provide more context to answer your question.

Timestamp ~30:10 on the second video (Lesson 10) talks about the origin of pyroclastic flows.

Florida Woman Had Her Entire Driveway Stolen (jalopnik.com)

If you leave things in your yard, you shouldn’t be surprised if they get stolen. People are opportunistic, and if they see your kid’s bike sitting there unsecured, they may decide it’s a perfect opportunity to give it to their kid. Heck, sometimes even entire cars get stolen out of driveways. It sucks, but it happens....

weariedfae ,

In a subsequent update article it was explained what happened. It was not stealing a driveway, which was a regular paved driveway.

The scam was one of those bad check scams. Someone pretended to be a homeowner asking a contractor for a task. Contractor does task, fake homeowner gives a check but uh oh it was for the wrong amount, can you just refund me the difference?

Check is bad. “Refund” is good. Scammer has money and disappears. When the contractor goes to collect the homeowner isnt the person they dealt with.

Holy crap this is gold.

An article came out last month or sometime relatively recently that basically says blue light filtering doesn’t help jack.

Personally I prefer warm toned light in everything except my computer monitor.

Edit: published study AND summary article. I only read the article but there is a published study associated with it.

weariedfae ,

This makes so much sense, is there any evidence? I don’t want to spread the rumor as a fun fact unless there’s something behind it. Very fun idea!

weariedfae ,

I hate xmas. I hate xmas music because it triggers my working in retail PTSD.

The only music I can tolerate are the Bells and any Tchaikovsky because the Nutcracker slaps.

Never heard of it but sounds nice! Pink sands can happen for a variety of reasons and I’m not sure exactly what is going on in Crete. I collected some pink sand in the Bahamas that I found interesting and long story short, it was manganese stained fossil coral. It sounds like a similar process is happening in Crete with red stained foraminifera tests (tiny shells). Not sure what the red is in the tests in Crete without digging into it as I only did a cursory search but iron oxide and/or manganese aren’t horrible guesses.

Looks like a cool spot!

weariedfae ,

Awesome photos!

Whoa you were not kidding about that being pink. Holy cow. I mean…the pink grains could potentially be garnet but I’m a little doubtful and unsteady at saying that for sure. They have conchoidal fracture and a vitreous sheen which could easily be quartz, perhaps stained by something else going on in the area (Mn? > Fe).

Those blue green grains are fricken neato, I don’t have a good explanation for them and can’t really get a good look from the photos.

I see a couple of green grains that could be epidote or some other green mineral, and one that looks a little olivine-esque but it’s hard to tell.

It’s one of those things that you poke and prod and rotate and stare at for a while before giving a broad, hand wavy guess.

It would probably be helpful to look up the location and the formation to get a better sense of what to expect.

Either way, those are dope!

weariedfae ,

Aww my friend had a horse who would open her bedroom window like this and hang out with us.
