We get to choose the genes when genetically modifying, and it usually takes a few years (plus health metrics and research once complete).
Contrary, when selectively breeding we can breed for traits which we are not guaranteed to actually get, and it takes a few decades (plus health metrics and research once complete).
Huh, I’m not sure they are comparable.
Didn’t USB A and USB B use a master-slave relationship in which the male would (generally) always be the slave, whereas USB C uses agreement and discussion to decide the master and slave roles regardless of connector gender.
Please do correct me if I’m wrong. Also, do we say “agent” now instead of “slave”, or what is the new term?
Couch co-op, split-screen, hotseat; Kingdom Two Crowns is nice. So is Darksiders Genesis, For The King, Moon Hunters, Trine, etc.
Always on the lookout for other good co-op couch games, especially with a good story, but I feel that they are few and far between. :(
Hmm, well, I have heard women being compared to singing birds (or more degrading as vultures or pen of hens if in group), but I’ve more often heard women being romantically compared to bees or flowers. Though, I don’t think I’ve ever heard men being compared to bees, but often to birds (eagles, vultures, seagulls, etc.).
Might also be local culture, as I usually think of harmony, nature, and perhaps matriarchy when pondering bees, while birds seem much more gender neutral, like, standoff-ish, elegant, brutal, impulsive, egoistic, even presented as predatory and evil in children movies and some media.
So, using common stereotyping, you can see where I’m coming from.
Thank you for the explanation.
As someone not too familiar with American cultures, I’d probably make an assumption and go for the (to me) more masculine bird over the docile and flower loving bee, since bees have stingers that they normally would never use and birds have beaks/peckers.
Isn’t that a good thing in this case? Once someone invents a new innovative slur you can just go to ud and search it up, instead of making assumptions or having to ask them yourself.
Now LLMs are even taking the jobs of professional trolls! What’s gonna be next? The scambots loosing their jobs to LLMs?!
Yup, and unless you let it dry in for a few hours after eating, then final cleanup should be done in a jiffy.
Yup, that appears to have fixed the problem. Derp.
I’ve observed this in VRising too. It’s been nearly consistent since I upgraded to a better graphics card.
Hope the preview works right.
Yeah, Lemmy still has nowhere the size of Reddit. I personally prefer it here, but I imagine managing a small community can be rather lonely.
That said, I love to lurk in the smaller communities, and I love to see your posts.
Only “FOSS this, Linux that” and sometimes war-related news can get a little tiring, and while photography and SuberbOwl seem to do fine and ImaginaryX still is around, it doesn’t feel like much is else going on.
Don’t let yourself feel chained to this place and get depressed, that’s the last thing we (I) would want. If you feel that the engagement level here doesn’t meet your needs (especially seeing that you are virtually the only one keeping this community alive), then it’s totally understandable to seek a community that better accommodates you. You could always be both places in the hopes that Lemmy might pick up speed someday, but I wouldn’t blame you if you chose one over the other.
TL:DR: We love you, but not enough for you to sacrifice your health or mental wellbeing. Stay safe, stay healthy! (I hope that didn’t come off wrong.)
Yeah, I’ve been bamboozled by this before. Found out that both “dike” and “dyke” mean “water barrier” but also can be slurs.
I guess it depends on context and audience, though, I hope the context is clear in this case. :P
Edit: Also, “dam” doesn’t fit since it’s an island and not a river or lake. The island does have dams, but those are not nearly as important as the dikes.
The Baltic sea just had a once-in-a-century storm surge this fall. There was little danger since the baltic sea is rather well protected, but many local dikes weren’t up for the job, resulting in quite some damage (in general, the houses on my island were mostly unscathered).
Took us the better of two months to drain the water from the island, and in the meantime we had to hike along the more robust dikes to get to the harbor.
We also had to empty our lakes of saltwater to attempt and save our fire-bellied toads, as the Copenhagen Zoo is trying to preserve the species on the island.
Rendering issues are just a minor inconvenience, the real horror starts when your chunk is offloaded and you get sent to the void.
Yeah, might as well trim it on the left side if you ABSOLUTELY NEED justice. The tree will likely be just fine.
When it comes to gaming I’ve found them to be mid at best, but I think that’s exactly why they get recommended a lot. Stability (as in using old but not too old drivers) and a broad and easily accessible knowledge base in term of tutorials and answered newbie questions.
In what kind of backward and lawless war zone does one have to live to require telling people not to shoot at other people?
And then links to a similar sounding but ultimately totally unrelated site.
Going on a tangent here: While I fully agree with the above, there is an amount of knowledge after which fact checking becomes bothersome, and some people just skip fact checking overall. One could argue that, while knowledge is never useless, unchecked knowledge might become bothersome or dangerous.
See flatearthers, scientology, etc. for extreme examples.
