How well sound propagates through water is highly dependent on the water temperature variations over depth. There can be conditions in which sounds can be trapped between two different horizontal “layers” and travel far greater distances than 80km.

A lot of stock photos are ridiculous like that

It is all coming from the Puritan ideology pushing the completely outdated and unrealistic idea that sexuality should be exclusively within the confines of marriage. Even the majority of the people pushing this ideal aren’t following it themselves.

Circumcision is a way to discourage masturbation. This also means that they are against contraception which, according to them, promote extramarital sex. Abortion is only the tip of the iceberg of what they would ban if they were even given the chance and we’ve already seen them move on to attacking contraception in some places where they’ve already banned abortion.

No matter how they’re trying to dress it as it is obviously a religion-motivated movement and should not be allowed to force its views on the people. It pisses me off that through their ideological reasoning they have also decided to fight stem cell research. We could have cured so many diseases and disabilities if it wasn’t for these religious zealots.

People keep talking about terraforming Mars while we can’t even stop ourselves from reverse-terraforming Earth.

I was about to say that. The main reason why they can do it is that Aptera went great lengths to make their vehicle as light and efficient as possible so what little charge they get out of the panels will make a noticeable difference.

This is a stark contrast with the other EVs on the market that are just huge heavy bricks on wheels that compensate for their inefficiency with bigger and heavier batteries.

That’s too much work. Just buy $1000 worth of bitcoin in 2010 and sell it all at 50k, which means you can cash it in 2 years earlier and still make WAY more than you’ll ever be able to spend.

At that point you will be affecting the entire market though. So things might become unpredictable.

Thanks for letting me know. Just blocked lemmy.ml from my feed.

That’s a typical case of someone who is so eager to sounds right in an argument that they will not bother double checking to see if they missed the original point or true meaning before replying.

There are a lot of people like that on Reddit. Well, I assume there still are I deleted my account a while ago. What a toxic place.

The way she isn’t holding the corn dog by the stick makes it so much worse somehow.

Could it be some sort of meta joke where the reviewer is mocking how the paper is written by imitating its bad writing style?

In zero gravity this is a legitimate concern

I’m pretty sure mine hates me and makes me so stupid stuff whenever I’m distracted.

According to the article they might be doing this to further discourage people from bypassing the hardware restrictions for installing Windows 11.

Don’t worry Microsoft. I am fully deterred from ever installing Windows 11 on any of my current or future computers already.

They wouldn’t be acting like this if they weren’t convinced that they are in a monopolistic situation that is strong enough to let them get away with it. They don’t seem to realize how user friendly and approachable some Linux distros have become, or at least are making the bet that most of their users won’t discover it. I hope this anti consumer attitude pushes more and more people into giving Linux a try, like it did for me.

I right click them and then in the drop down menu that appears I click “block element…”

Called it. Overvalued. The site has been is in dire need of investments to improve the platform. Give tools for the moderators to do their job properly (they’re already working for free), improve the page layout, fight bots in a more intelligent manner, find innovative ways to make the platform turn a profit instead of resorting to the most assholeish, intrusive and abusive ways ever. But instead the dipshit that runs that dumpster fire gave himself a huge undeserved paycheck with the money that should have been used to do that so when it inevitably comes crashing down he has made some reserves.

I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the traffic on that site is bots farming karma so they can spam some ads at that point and a significant portion of human accounts they have left are probably shadow banned by false bot detection. Every attempt they’ve made to make money out of the platform was so terribly thought through that it just unnecessarily resulted in a far worse experience for the userbase than it needed to, screwed over the people who work for free to keep running and was met with huge backlash every time. And they still can’t turn a profit.

And that the “increased community engagement” isn’t mainly comments of people complaining about being tricked into clicking on an ad.
