No river can be traced all the way up to a dividing ridge. As the contributing drainage area gets smaller it will be a stream, then creek, trickle, gulley, and by the time it’s on a mountain ridge it’s nothing.

This, but I think equally important is de-duplication of links. Ideally these alternative links to the same content could also be de-duped. All comments should be in one thread. I know what I’m describing is complicated due to communities across servers, but it would really improve lemmy for me.

What could possibly cleave the continent more than the Grand Canyon? In many places it’s a barrier that can’t be crossed except by flight.

It’s a prominent river until Yuma, AZ, which is not too far from the Gulf of California. And even if the water doesn’t always flow, it forms the boundary between the Mexican states of Baja and Sonora.

This seems kind of silly to me. This is a drug that affects the brain, and that is nearly harmless at the microdose level. Just test on human volunteers. That way your results have useful clinical meaning. You can’t really ask the rats how they felt after the regimen.

XKCD is usually more astute. The lack of the Colorado River, and The Grand Canyon, is a glaring omission.

Not sure why this is downvoted. yt-dlp is a great way to get music from YouTube, bandcamp, or other sites.

With a torrent you’re downloading from many unknown peers, one of which could be a rights holder lawyer who will log your IP and send a threatening letter to your internet service provider. With Soulseek you are downloading from only one peer.

With a torrent you are downloading and uploading chunks at the same time. With Soulseek you have options about what you share for upload. If you were to get in trouble legally on Soulseek, it would probably be for what’s in your shared library, not for what you downloaded.

However, it’s not super polite to download from others without sharing. Some users block uploading to peers who aren’t sharing anything. My advice would be to go to your local library and find a few rare CDs of local music. Rip them to MP3 at a good bitrate and share them. Or maybe classical music? I’m not a lawyer, but just think of what music you can share where the artist or record label isn’t going to sue you. Independent and smaller record labels are probably not going to sue you.

The title should be prepended with the word: Older. Sitting to pee is better for men with prostate issues.
