A cool guide to all the national parks in the U.S.A
  • In the USA parks are different than reserves or forests. National Parks has the stereotypical park ranger and guides, plus usually lodging and visitor centers and stuff. There are also national forests which probably have some trails and stuff but it's mostly "here's some land, good luck out there". There are also wildlife preserves and stuff.

    Here's a full map of USA federally owned lands:

    But ya, there still isn't a huge amount of federal land in the east. I think the federal government got a lot stronger moving out west.

  • Anon thinks about Google
  • My 5a just shut off while I was using it and wouldn't turn back on one month after warranty period. Google was going to deny a replacement until I bitched that each previous pixel I had had died or became unusable and I was going to move to iphone. They gave me a "one time exception" and sent me a replacement. I traded it for a 7 but if this one dies I'm done.

  • Mystery solved!
  • Hank Green can tell you the full mystery:

    tl:dw: We knew that's where baby eels came from but we didn't know how the adults got there or what the larvae looked like. Baby eel larvae was misidentified as another species and adult eel can take up to 18 months traveling at the bottom of the ocean to get there, during which time they grow their gonads which was another mystery.

  • My laptop hinge just ripped its screws right out.
  • At least it didn't crack the screen with the bad hinge. I think it happens when the screws get a little loose and the angles shift. I work k-12 edu and have seen hundreds of Chromebooks do this.

  • I'm getting old
  • 7 is fine, 8 is better imo, 9 is atrocious. If they were able to just make 9 decent the sequels would be acceptable. They really, really needed to have these movies thought out from the start though. You can absolutely tell they have no idea where the story goes from one movie to the next.

  • Think of the children!
  • I don't understand the long wait list complaint. If I tried to see my Dr I would have to wait months. I routinely hear of people waiting over a year for specialists. In fact, my wife was scheduled to be medically induced for pregnancy due to health reasons and we had to wait day of because they were understaffed! We have to wait and we have to pay!

  • GNU-Linux
  • It's not a meme, people genuinely get upset about this. There was a post on a lemmy about the Comptia A+ study guide that had the question "What is GNU" with the answer of "It has to do with Linux" and people were writing essays on why this was not correct.

  • If you need me, I'll be over here banging my head on my desk repeatedly.
  • Man, I didn't think a hydraulic press could make a fossil so I looked it up and saw this article:

    https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/scientists-baked-fossil-24-hours-180969770/

    Title got me excited and they are just doing impressions. Which are fossils but not the re-mineralized ones I think of. So I was disappointed, but that's par for the course for any "proof" of creationism so I set myself up for that one.
