Mick Gordon leaving the project is a bummer, but I can't wait to hear the stuff he made so far for it.

Fun!!!! :) in c/[email protected]

Idea!

Carbonize the remains and then woodchipper those! They're basically charcoal so it's less messy, and they can be caught in a net NP!

The loss of skill requirements within trades and crafts is likely a major factor in the cascades of ineptitude we experience in our society. The barriers to entry also directly benefitted the quality of those spaces, and naturally flagged the incompetent (if you are incompetent and lack spell check, your mis-spellings served as a demonstration that you are not a skilled writer. Same for driving, musical recognition, engineering as well).

We've seen a clear decline in the general quality of all products, and I can't help but feel that the automation of skill is directly connected to that decline. This tweet seems to mirror that sentiment in its mockery. You don't have to think anymore about pretty much any of the process, you just get an output you can ship immediately. So it goes without saying that you can be without any skill and still have a footprint within spaces you have no merit to be in.

It goes in the round hole!

OK so for better conveyance, I will say the pencil rewound the tape, and leave this handy image:

'Spade Currency', China, 475 - 221 BCE in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

I heard that a possible explanation of currency was blood feuds. Basically, if some extreme wrong was done on one family by another, instead of having a big conflict over it, the mediating government would give the wronged family a 'proof of wronging' that was legal tender. The generic value of that proof was either to represent a unit of flesh if the debt was not paid, or an amount of a specific valued-but-common good, but which could be sufficed with other goods in negotiations (some goods that were suggested were a pound of grains or a number of wolf pelts). I don't know how accepted that idea is, but it sure beats the old-and-cliche barter system idea.

Video that introduced me to this hypothesis.

Very good first sentence to learn.

Gotta make sure it's visible from the street so everyone can see it.

UPDATE: The Unbans are showing up on modlog now.:

unban log screenshot

~~I have traded the month-long ban in the many communities for a 6-day ban in [email protected], which is a more reasonable ban~~. this ban has also been lifted now. I appreciate the cooperation from the mod over this misunderstanding.

So it seems i've gotten a month-long ban in..... over 30 communities across lemmy.dbzer0.com, sopuli.xyz, lemmy.ca, programming.dev, and several others, for this comment here.

Screen cap of comment for posterity:

It's directly replying to a comment saying they can't imagine why anyone thought otherwise about fish feeling pain, which is reasonable. You might notice the quotation marks, because it's satirizing people's mental gymnastics about fishes' pain perception. It was meant in jest, exclusively.

It seems likely that a single mod took this joke wrong and chose to ban me on every community they have control over.

[discussion] Quantum Bicycle Society? (quicycle.com)

This is a question regarding atomic and quantum physics, and any academic input would be appreciated. I am wanting some input on what level of trust I should put into this "Quicycle" group. It's a think tank comprised of supposed Doctors from CERN and research groups, and states their names. alot of their stuff raises red flags for me, though.

To preface, I was working on understanding how exactly, in 3d space, electron orbitals affect the magnetic field of their atoms. I'm wanting to better understand why atoms like Iron are more magnetic than others. I am not heavily plugged into the physics community, though - I'm mostly just learning out of personal curiosity.

I stumbled upon this group's periodic table of atomic orbitals, and it seems accurate on its face to a layman like myself. However, I start trying to research some of the terms and they're proposing things I've never heard of like pd-hybridization (where the p and d electron orbitals merge(?) to produce a hybrid orbital(?)).

I decided to look over their site with more rigor and I'm seeing things like Vivian Robinson: The Common Sense Universe (talking about 'common sense' when talking about quantum and "sub-quantum" mechanics seems really screwy) and M.A.R.T. (yet another theory of everything attempt) and I get a sinking feeling that nothing in this website is trustworthy for learning more in-depth physics.

Does any of this stuff look right to any Lemmy physicists?
