What are you talking about. Everyone knows polls are the best way to determine what is or is not a myth. That's why that TV show Mythbusters failed so miserably and is off the air now. Too much fiddly experimentation and sciency mumbojumbo, and not nearly enough polls. It really helps if the polls ask pointed questions about hot button issues with little to no context also... So people aren't confused or have to think too much (which also is a form of dishonesty when you think (but not too much) about it). Pretty sure there is a poll out there somewhere that confirms this.
My god, at this rate UTC+1 and UTC+3 will dominate the whole world by 2223!
International war criminal to come get pats on the back says unconditional supporter of domestic insurrectionist and life-long criminal.
As a person who ages ago created and single letter (before the @) email address thinking myself clever and efficient... I'm amazed and distressed how many forms have insisted that my email address is invalid.
The wealthy NEED the airports to keep running so not to interfere with their vacation plan. Starving kids on the other hand can simply be rewoven as doormats by any good capitalist.
The blueberries are ready when they taste good to you. Some people like them earlier for a more tart flavour.
And yet their makeup is impeccable. Article says "young people", but curiously only cute women in the pictures.
"It looks cute, and yet, you don't lose that feeling of sexiness." Ah, the all important feeling of sexiness in the office that women strive for.
A team of environmentalists and zoologists affiliated with several institutions in Indonesia has confirmed that a tiger species once thought extinct is still living on the island of Java. In their study, published in the journal Oryx, the group conducted a DNA analysis of a hair found by a conservat...

Users being able to group communities together themselves might also be a potential solution to the many, many posts complaining about the fragmentation of identical communities across instances.
Sometimes a bandage helps to stop the bleeding.
Sometimes bandages are left on too long and wounds fester.
Bandages can be useful sometimes, but care must still be taken.
Here is the study referenced:
Ai Weiwei lived in China most of his life, and was openly critical of the government there. He has been imprisoned before. In his family history, one of his parents was internally exiled. This is a brave person who knows a few things from personal experience and deserves some respect and consideration, even if you disagree.
Vogager has a web app version, if that's what you mean by front end.
I haven't tried it but I've been thinking about it... Since NextCloud supports s3 storage it would seem its photo apps, such as Memories should work that way?
Kids these days not playing enough Lunar Lander
To me this perspective seems to reach the exact opposite conclusion than it should given its premises.
Crickets is a good alternative. Especially when sprinkled on avacado toast.
Seems like a tacit admission at very least that to anyone without access to these internal documents the accusation of genocide is reasonable. Interesting.
Thanks for the link. Yeah, my server is old. COPS is old, but still works great for me. .
Calibre has built in server, but while running server (last I checked) it locks the db so you can't do much with the Gui, can't add books etc. Also I'm already running a a web server with php so it's more efficient just to slap the COPS web app there rather than run yet another server.
"In the non-violent condition, however, participants with higher scores in Machiavellianism had a higher increase in cortisol" - linked study
So people trying to be manipulative bastards in 'nice' games increase thier stress? Interesting.
Unfortunately the source study appears to be paywall and not yet on sci-hub, so don't know what specific games they used. As to how they define Machiavellianism, I assume something toke this:
"In the field of personality psychology, Machiavellianism is a personality trait characterized by interpersonal manipulation, indifference to morality, lack of empathy, and a strategic focus on self-interest." - Wikipedia
Through a detailed analysis of the complete genomes of five cat species, researchers have been able to resolve some long-standing mysteries about the evolution of these animals – giving us a much better understanding of how different species developed.
Even the space junk designed with disposal in mind is a polluting presence around Earth, a new study has found. Those chunks of rocket and space station and dead satellites that burn up on atmospheric reentry leave miniscule traces of metal lingering...
India landed its Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft near the moon's south pole today (Aug. 23), making history for the nation and for lunar exploration in general.
The Luna-25 probe, Russia's first Moon mission in almost 50 years, has crashed on the Moon after an incident during pre-landing manoeuvres, Russian space agency Roscosmos said on Sunday.

Jupiter may be the stormiest place in the Solar System, but Saturn's no slouch either.
Jupiter may be the stormiest place in the Solar System, but Saturn's no slouch either. A new study has found that the ringed giant also has persistent megastorms that can last a century and leave deep atmospheric scars that last much longer.
An analysis of radio waves emitted by Saturn conducted by a team of astronomers led by Cheng Li of the University of Michigan has revealed long-lasting signatures of giant storms, including equatorial storms that took place hundreds of years ago.
This is a fascinating insight into the dynamics of Saturn, and can help us figure out the cause of the strange megastorms that rage every few decades...

A new study published in the CABI journal Human-Animal Interactions suggests that companion animals—including dogs, cats, fish and birds—do not significantly benefit the emotional health of owners with severe mental illness.

Charged cosmic rays, high-energy clusters of particles moving through space, were first described in 1912 by physicist Victor Hess. Since their discovery, they have been the topic of numerous astrophysics studies aimed at better understanding their origin, acceleration and propagation through space, using satellite data or other experimental methods.
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) collaboration, a large research group analyzing data collected by a large magnetic spectrometer in space, recently gathered new insight about the properties and composition of specific types of cosmic rays. In a new paper, published in Physical Review Letters (PRL), they specifically unveiled the composition of primary cosmic-ray carbon, neon, and magnesium, along with the composition and properties of cosmic-ray sulfur.
A black hole 10 billion light-years away suddenly 'switched on', becoming one of the brightest transient objects ever detected.
Gravity's pull is a constant on Earth, but our planet is no uniform sphere.
And for that matter, could our universe be inside a black hole?
The fediverse is a breath of fresh air for writers and social media
Today, Medium is launching a Mastodon instance at me.dm to help our authors, publications and readers find a home in the fediverse. Mastodon is an emerging force for good in social media and we are excited to join this community.
The $35-billion plastics industry’s threat of legal action against Canada's efforts to rein in harmful plastic pollution will go nowhere, the federal government and environmental advocates say.
It's an interesting approach. While plastic is (mostly) not directly toxic to us, the argument that it is toxic to the environment seems scientifically sound. The classification allows for more regulation and pressure on an industry which have proven (as usual) extremely ineffective at regulating themselves, to the cost of all of us. And when you think about plastic as a direct product of the petroleum industry things just worse.
Looking at the CEPA web site it currently only lists "micro plastic beads". But I got a government link or the order. It reads "Plastic manufactured items" and goes into great detail on the rational and background.
Coincidentally I saw another story today:Twenty firms produce 55% of world’s plastic waste, report reveals.
Patricia Lane introduces us to student activist Nahira Gerster-Sim, 17, who is part of a campaign to give youth aged 16 and up the right to vote.
