It’s incredible what lengths people will go to experience a short high of moral superiority.

Ah this brings me back to my bachelor course on Quantum Physics. Once you end up with intermediate equations spanning a full sheet of paper you start questioning your life choices.

Ehh, shootings even happen in Europe and coincidences too.

AFAIK most typed languages have this behaviour.

I always liked Terminator because of the easy splitscreening.

Yeah I’m glad that some series (Pixel AFAIK) are now releasing slightly smaller phones, because the growth was getting ridiculous and highly impractical.

Let’s just design every website using a table again. Or even better, frames!

Way too often I’ve had websites complain that the input password is too complex, and I have to dial down the settings.

Many “space” fuel tanks have inflatable bladders inside to control the pressure and location of the fuel, especially in zero-g. Otherwise, the fuel could float away from your tank valve. It is possible that this tank has a fully or partially inflated bladder, making it much more buoyient.

I’m 100 percent certain that this is a spacecraft or launcher fuel tank. I’ve worked on reentry analyses of spacecraft fuel tanks before, and I can tell you that these very commonly survive re-entry for several reasons.

Firstly, they are by far the largest components housed inside the vehicle’s outer structure. The structure usually takes the brunt of the aerodynamic and thermal forces, protecting the tank from the largest destruction.

Secondly, the tank itself has to handle the huge fuel pressures involved (easily going towards many hundreds of atmosphere pressures!). This obviously means that incredibly tough materials have to be used.

Thirdly and finally, as can be seen in the pictures, their shape is symmetric, making the shape aerodynamically very unstable. This means the fuel tank has the tendency to tumble in the airstream. The tumbling continuously causes different parts of the tank to be exposed to the heat and other parts to cool down.

Fuel tanks are the major risk during reentry to people and other stuff on the ground, perhaps together with the massive engine blocks. To minimise the chances of hitting someone or something, re-entries are nearly always aimed at the Pacific Ocean, hence them being more likely to wash ashore in Australia.

Thanks for your explanation!

As Flash was known for it having more holes than a Swiss cheese, how is Ruffle in terms of security?

Things will definitely not move then.

If I remember correctly, dark roast was also originally devised to hide bad-quality coffee beans. Nowadays it is often implied that darker roasts are better, which actually isn’t necessarily the case.

What I realised to maybe as equally damaging is if all the original NSFW subs started allowing only SFW content. This would drive the fairly isolated but big userbase of those subs away.

Well, people who have left the site will, by definition, not be the people who are still commenting over there.

And as others say, probably a some bots are involved.

In general, I really do not like this idea. Lemmy is Lemmy and should not, directly or indirectly, turn into Reddit.

Does anybody have a comparison between the mod lists before and after the blackout? It would be interesting to see whether any changes happened in that area.

They act like everyone already uses reddit and the users are so addicted they’ll put up with anything.

To be honest, this may actually be true for a significant portion of the userbase.

I think it is safe to assume that’s happening now anyway. As long as anyone can access the data at the moment, they will too.
