I'm pretty sure the reason they're happy to send it is because they want other researchers to read it and cite it.

Great. The ocean's going crazy over a human goldfish.

Thanks!!

Exactly. Fires like these can probably give people COPD.

@willya sorry yeah I think I misunderstood you. Thought you were talking about API for 3rd parties.

Hey what front end do you recommend? Need a clean minimalist interface that can block instances, block specific websites, and I like to see names of users who upvoted/downvoted, and keep notes on users.

I will be using kbin as my main but I'd like my lemmy stuff to look a bit nicer.

It just doesn't have as many features and feels less intuitive.

Kbin going to release API soon.

I'm guessing they won't find it in the UN school they just bombed either.

It would be like playing with Gollum.

I would actually play that. We would need the letters to be printed on the inside of clear resin cubes so that you can still see all the letters in a stack.

livus, 10 months ago to asklemmy in Would you choose invisibility or teleportation?

Teleportation. I would pick it for the friends and family visits alone but the travel and science stuff would be amazing.

Even for those who inevitably want to use their power to commit crimes, teleportation is still more useful than invisibility.

The first few moments of that first meeting with Spock Prime.

livus, 10 months ago to asklemmy in In which scenario would you last longer before being outed as a time traveller?

That sort of reminds me of West Country. Yarp.

Probably not a bad time in the places that had never seen them. It's only the people who they'd already been dicks to by 1523 that you'd need to worry about.

I actually looked this one up, there was no settlement of any kind right on this spot, so I'd have time to sort myself out before approaching a settlement a few days' journey.

livus, 10 months ago to asklemmy in In which scenario would you last longer before being outed as a time traveller?

I agree. Also, if the climate catastrophe unfolds as predicted, there will be a return to intense regionalization of dialects because people will live in smaller groups and have less contact with outsiders.

My ancestors are from at least 6 different countries and many of them spoke languages I can't even really speak the modern equivalents of.

I think as long as I remain mute people will just think I'm a simpleton or the local equivalent (since I don't understand them and don't know how to work 16th century tech).

In 500 years from now, presumably they will know that time travel has been invented so they will be more likely to suspect it.
