Kimano@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•oh no! think of the stock market!English22·9 months agoPeople also don’t realize that too much power is just as bad as too little, worse in fact. There’s always useful power sinks: pumped hydro, batteries, thermal storage, but these are not infinite.
Cranberries don’t grow on the water, the fields are just flooded at harvest time because the berries float, which makes it an easy method to gather them.
Kimano@lemmy.worldtoData is Beautiful@lemmy.world•US counties with a life expectancy above 80 yearsEnglish1·11 months agoIt’s obviously different in different areas. The Asian was more referring to the west coast. In the south it would be primarily wealthier cities, and the only of those that exist in the south (like Atlanta) are shown here.
Kimano@lemmy.worldtoData is Beautiful@lemmy.world•US counties with a life expectancy above 80 yearsEnglish4·11 months agoYeah I would love to believe this is anything other than a map of high ratios of white/Asian to other races, which itself is a proxy for high socioeconomic status ratios.

He and his twin brother were actually part of a study into the effects of long term space habitation (his trips were shorter). They’re the only two siblings to ever both go to space.

Protonmail is encrypted and they literally cannot decrypt to record your data.
Kimano@lemmy.worldto Work Reform@lemmy.world•US supreme court sides with Starbucks in union case over fired employees11·1 year agoI mean that guy is being an idiot, but it’s also not quite that simple. There is still more and less ethical consumption. A fairphone is more ethical than an iPhone, and pointing that out in good faith to someone complaining about Apple’s behavior seems entirely fair.
It’s not a complete fallacy to point out that someone is consuming something less ethical when they have a better option. Obviously it’s impossible for anyone to do this with literally everything, but absolutely you can avoid Starbucks because of their treatment of unions, and frequent a local coffee shop instead.
Granted this is mostly assuming two people having a good faith discussion, which on the internet is infrequent lol.
Kimano@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What thing could your parents do the most significantly better than you?9·1 year agoIt also could be referencing something that they were better at in their prime, but may no longer be able to do due to age. Like answering running if your dad was a professional runner or something.
They come with a big thick zip up cover, if that’s the kinda thing you’re looking for. I don’t really remember noticing any powder on mine when I got it, but it’s entirely possible I just didn’t notice.
I haven’t ever weighed it so that might be a bit of an overestimate, but not by much lmao, it’s ridiculously heavy
I also got a purple pillow on a friend’s recommendation. I’m a really hot sleeper, and a side sleeper, so I need a lot of pillow and it was hard finding both of those things in one pillow for me. It’s been great, I like it a lot. The main downsides are it’s heavy as shit (the pillow probably weighs like 8kg, it’s wild), the weird rubbery texture takes some getting used to, and the little mats they give you that go under the pillow to make it taller get bunched up if you move the pillow too much.
Other than those minor complaints, I’ve really loved it. It stays very cool, while still being springy and contouring.
I haven’t really experimented with other pillowcases, but I have been meaning to, if anyone knows of something nice.

There’s also more things that matter like tire width, lockers, horsepower, weight etc.
Even if it’s not a perfectly scientific test, it can still be interesting
The problem is the obscenity exception is also used for things like preventing someone from walking around a public park with a giant sign covered in gore porn. Something like that I think is obviously pretty okay to ban, but clearly it gets misused for a lot of homophobic/transphobic type stuff.
Kimano@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Leaked Documents Reveal How Google Search Gatekeeps the InternetEnglish7·1 year agoYeah, honestly it would be fascinating if you wanted to go search for the specific terms that you think should bring that up, and then compare how deep your blog is in the results on a bunch of different web search pages.
I mean that and a b25 weighs like 40k lbs and a 767 weighs like 400k lbs, and flies twice as fast.
