so it’s not at all a stretch to be conservative, religious, and democrat all at the same time.

Yes. That's a lot of older African-Americans, from what I've heard. Church every Sunday, but they'd chew off their own leg before they vote Trump.

My impression is that the average .world user is a progressive. Some stray towards centrism, some are communist. The Pol-Pot post I saw was on Hexbear.

IRL, well, you know.

Hopefully, we'll open Canada's doors to Americans like you soon. Sending you digital hugs my friend.

In Canada, the public discourse has finally caught up with this. We'll see how long Europe takes to get past the denial stage.

I mean, you could argue they're more like Fascist Italy. The parallel with Germany is mainly that they're already a great power.

The .ml mod history is full of people getting banned for whatever, and shoehorned into rule 1. I know, because every time my posts don't get votes for a while I go and check it, just in case.

Man, that must be tough for them. Lemmings run between solidly Democrat and contemplating critical support for Pol-Pot.

Honestly, it's been better than Reddit so far, probably because of who's self-selected into being here. In the long run, I expect it will be the same.

Like someone else said, there's prominent Marxist-Leninist instances, including this one to a degree, so this probably isn't the place if you want to talk about you're cool new landlord sidehustle (for one example). Most of Lemmy (like everywhere I've been, probably even NCD) leans left of the IRL center, but it sounds like that won't slip you up.

They've actually been pretty much tied with the Russians for the last year, I'd say. Russia's bigger, but also taking way more losses, so in the end the front line has stayed put.

Intellectual honesty tends not to be a primary motivator itself.

The half that didn't die as kids, you mean?

French nuclear program: Fin!

Interesting. Mine suggested packing it with vasoline and cotton to keep all water out. I actually just wore a shower cap kinda sideways.

Did you need surgery too?

 

It's a few months old, but in light of recent events I think it still checks out. Make sure to watch the walkaround!

Last trip to the grocery store I couldn't find any non-US salad kits, and Silk NextMilk is made down there now, because I guess our plants were the listeria ones. Chip dip was surprisingly hard to find too, although I did it.

I'm very pleased with how many vegetables actually come from Mexico (definitely via the US though), and there's even a few things you can get from greenhouses, so that situation is less dire than I'd expected.

I just found out DivestOS is dead and could use it.

 

This is one of those takes that's so controversial I'm afraid to post it, which is exactly why I have to.

I neither endorse nor disavow this, and no, I'm not in the picture.

 

I considered posting this elsewhere, but only Canadians are really going to get why it's funny. Regina being totally self aware about it's (lack of) reputation made it for me.

A link to the preprint. I'll do the actual math on how many transitions/second it works out to later and edit.

I've had an eye on this for like a decade, so I'm hyped.

Edit:

So, because of the structure of the crystal the atoms are in, it actually has 5 resonances. These were expected, although a couple other weak ones showed up as well. They give a what I understand to be a projected undisturbed value of 2,020,407,384,335.(2) KHz.

Then a possible redefinition of the second could be "The time taken for 2,020,407,384,335,200 peaks of the radiation produced by the first nuclear isomerism of an unperturbed ^229^Th nucleus to pass a fixed point in space."

Per the rules, this is the original headline. However, the interesting part is that he's preparing a Gaza offer that he says will be "final".

They've hewn very close to the whole "unconditional support" thing, so I'm curious what that means exactly.

 
 

We have no idea how many there are, and we already know about one, right? It seems like the simplest possibility.
