exhale enough air out my lungs to stop floating

Get yourself a weight belt for scuba diving and you can expand your ground time a bit. Get a full set of scuba equipment and you can sit there for hours (depending on depth, size of your tanks and how relaxed you are). :)

sopuli.xyz and feddit.org are also pretty decent IMO.

Thanks for the hint. Also CNN added context to their article.

The morning after Trump’s speech, the White House provided a list of $8.3 million in federal grants to health studies that involve mice receiving treatments that can be used in gender-affirming health care. The White House list made clear what Trump, in the speech, did not: The studies were meant to figure out how these treatments might affect the health of humans who take them, not for the purpose of making mice transgender.

I'm not a soldering pro but I'm really satisfied with my pinecil. To power it, I can use the existing USB-C charger of my Lenovo Laptop.

Why not just remodel existing Cheetos into a new shape? I'm pretty sure that with the right tools and some time you can cover up any marks of manipulation.

It's still +26% in 6 months, +58% in a year and +535% in 5 years. There's still a long way to go down unfortunately.

But at some point these rich people will have enough and all the extra wealth will trickle down, right? Right?

If you go for linseed oil, make sure to put it outside to dry. During the oxidization process it can get so hot that it's self-igniting.

Is there any study or high-level calculation regarding the overall impact of vaccines on a country's economy? I mean, I'm 100% sure that this is a terrible decision that will bring a lot of pain and suffering to the US. I'm just thinking if there is at least a tiny bit of reasoning behind that decision. Like is there any perspective where this makes at least a tiny bit of sense from their point of view?

The only thing I can think of would be... 'If people die early, it saves money for their retirement.'

I would expect the costs for medical treatments, sick days, long term effects to outweight that by far...

Or do they hope that private companies start advertising vaccines once the government stops the funding?

So they don't accept bills that are larger than the head of a cow. The heads themselves are a perfectly acceptable payment method.

Thanks, now it's clearer!

Fake vegans (sopuli.xyz)

Vegans being banned and comments being deleted from [email protected] for being fake vegans.

From my perspective, the comments were in no way insulting and just part of completely normal interaction. If this decision reflects the general opinion of the mod team, then from my perspective, the biggest vegan community on Lemmy wants to be an elitist cycle of hardcore vegans only, not allowing any slightly different opinion. Which would be very unfortunate.

PS: In contrast to the name of this community, I don't want to insult anyone here being a 'bastard'. I just want to post this somewhere on neutral ground. I would really appreciate an open discussion without bashing anyone.

Recently, I noticed that no matter which delivery I'm tracking and no matter which status the package is currently in, DHL always claims the estimated delivery date to be yesterday.

This package was dropped at the DHL office on 23rd. When I checked right afterwards, the expected delivery was declared as 22nd. If I'm checking today (24th), it's now scheduled for the 23rd.

 

I don't play too often overall but today was the first time I couldn't solve a wordle. I feel slightly offended and see it as a mean, early christmas present by the NYT. 😄

I wish you all better luck/skill and happy holidays!

Let's play a round of 'NUTLE' together as part of the Know Nut November challenge!

The rules: It follows the standard wordle rules. You guess any word with 5 letters in the comments. I'll reply with the rating. 🟩 means letter is correct and at the right place. 🟨 means the character appears at least once but is in the wrong place. ⬜ means the character is in the wrong place. And as this is know nut november, all guesses should be at least remotely related to the theme of nuts (in all its meanings). You can be creative!

Background of the challenge: Based on this meme, I decided I decided to initiate a little November nut identification challenge across different communities on Lemmy. After two days (#8, #9) on [email protected], one day (#10) at [email protected] and one day (#11), today it's your turn to show how fast [email protected] can solve the riddle.

Happy guessing!

Hello all,

based on this meme, I decided to initiate a little November nut identification challenge on Lemmy. After two days (#8, #9) on [email protected] and one day (#10) at [email protected], today it's your turn!

Today the challenge is about finding a specific article in the English version of Wikipedia with only emojis as a hint. I'll start with just one and will add additional ones in case there's no correct answer yet.

The challenge: ✈️🔙🇰🇷

Happy guessing!


I aligned with @[email protected] (mod of this community) upfront to make sure the challenge is OK to post.

Hi all,

When I create a new post or comment there are buttons for different formatting options (bold, italic, hyperlink, ...) right above the on-screen keyboard. One of the buttons is a little circle with an exclamation mark that is called spoiler.

If I click on it, it adds three colons followed by 'spoiler spoiler' and then at the end again three colons. But after I publish the post or comment, I don't see any effect or special formatting of my text. It's just the text and that non-functional tags.

Is that a bug or is that how it's meant to work?

spoilerThis is a spoiler in my main post

 

Welcome to the challenge for November 9th which is the 3rd one so far after #8 and this post with the original idea.

Warning: Comments may contain spoilers, so only read them once you're ready.

Inspired by this post by @[email protected], @[email protected] proposed to turn that neat idea into a challenge series. It's not my idea, so feel free to post your own challenges here or in whatever community you find appropriate.

Now back to the game - let's see who'll be the fastest nutter of the day! ;)


Warning: The challenge has been solved already, so don't check the comments if you want to avoid spoilers.
