JohnDClay,

My parents were told by the doctor that having it was hard to clean, (even as a baby) so came with increased risk of infection. I don’t blame them. I do think the doctor could have been more clear about how large the risk was, and what the downsides to having it done would be. But I obviously don’t have first had experience about the situation, so it could have been different.

JohnDClay,

See here from physicist Sabine Hossenfelder on the subject:

JohnDClay,

That’s actually surprising that NASA only has 50% more budget than a single particle accelerator, given the huge number of cutting edge projects NASA is working on.

JohnDClay,

This initial budget estimate is 44x the 500M initial estimate of the jwst for comparison. Jwst eventually ballooned to 20B, but I’m guessing this would similarly balloon over time as well.

JohnDClay,

He’s a great video documentary about it by Bobby Broccoli if you want information and have two hours.

JohnDClay,

That’s why I compared it to 44x the initial jwst budget

JohnDClay,

Our waste heaps are bigger than your waste heaps!

JohnDClay,

You joke, (I hope) but there’s a conspiracy theory Netflix series that tries to use a similar ancient site as evidence for Atlantis.

JohnDClay,

Hong Kong is relatively the same ethnicity as China, right? And they were using Xi the Pooh memes? I don’t think it’s racist.

JohnDClay,

You think Xi the Pooh is racist?

JohnDClay,

It’s from a South Park episode. It isn’t racist, or at least it wasn’t, Hong Kong protesters and Tiwan use it regularly. It’s just making fun of Xi Jinping as an individual.

JohnDClay,

Enders game? How so? I read it as a critique of the brutal preemptive lengths a humanity first government will go to out of fear, not an embracing of it.

JohnDClay,

Is there anything in the text? Seems like that would be needed for it to be a fascist book.

JohnDClay,

This thread is like half hexbears. I envy all y’all other instances that have thankfully defederated from those nuts.

JohnDClay,

I’m guessing some Mexican fast food places also don’t have the greatest sanitary conditions, so are more likely to give you the poops.

JohnDClay,

Not nearly as bad as targeted ads and pop-ups. Seems like humanity has been finding ways to make ads worse and worse over time.

Which YouTuber's voice can lull you to sleep?

I’ve exhausted things I can sleep to on Netflix, and it’s literally impossible to sleep to things on Prime (so I barely watch anything there; it’s not worth falling asleep to something I like, since I might be punished for it), so I’ve started putting on YouTube in the evenings since it won’t wake me with silence at...

JohnDClay,

Baumgartner Restoration has one of the most smooth voices I’ve fond. Very chill process even to watch.

Foureyes Furniture I also find very soothing.

JohnDClay,

If you are a sailor, look up 4k77 or despecalized edition.

JohnDClay,

But you can do things while on the train like sleep or internet. It depends what that tradeoff is exactly, but I would still rather have a longer commute I can do things during.

JohnDClay,

Still much safer than roads with all the crashes.

JohnDClay,

The Germany image is wrapping off the screen on my device, so I’ll post it here

JohnDClay,

Yta for reposting these. These are very not useful to repost since the interesting bits are usually in the replies. Maybe post the subreddit drama version with the overview and follow up if you must.

c/Worldbuilding | Lemmy worldbuilding community on 30-54r (7.62x54r.ru)

I created a worldbuilding community for Lemmy users. There are worldjerking and worldmemeing companion subs that will be linked from there. c/Worldbuilding is a place for creators to share contents from fictional worlds that they create. Almost anything that you create for you world can be shared.

JohnDClay,

Hmm, I’m getting an error. Maybe jeroboa is treating it like two different links? It only highlights up to the @ symbol. !worldbuilding
