I know many of you fell for some new owls and enjoyed many of the pics of the ones you’ve already loved. I’m curious to see which photos you thought were the best. If you’d like, share a pic or two from the contest that really caught your attention....
Not_Rick has a great answer but I will add something. Your question about the quote you posted is based on a disagreement about what race is, between you and social scientists. The phrase “we can take a DNA test and get our ancestry, telling us what percentage of what races make up our overall ethnicity” already assumes that genetics = race, end of story. But this is an unfounded assumption. All the test can tell is our genetics. Not_Rick offered some good examples for the counterpoint, that genetics ≠ race. If you disagree with that basic premise then you will always be bothered by modern theories on the subject such as CRT.
Once you see that race clearly is not just genetics, you can start asking what it truly is and what things do determine one’s race. These are much more interesting questions. For example, a new question might be ‘what has been the historical relationship between ethnicity and “being white” in the US’? And let’s not even start on the ridiculousness that is the census form.
Not sure about the other but PoppinKREAM became known on Reddit during the Mueller probe for very long, very well researched and cited comments mostly related to politics. Their citation style in particular meant their comments got tons of Reddit awards and were highly visible.
I remember MTGGoldfish did this a few episodes back too and iirc they had to ask ChatGPT 3 or 4 times and it still never made a legal list.
I would never use AI to make a deck when EDHRec exists - you’re better off just using the Average Deck function, though that is just gonna lead you to playing staples too.
The Dino deck is real and green can be good but I think in a vacuum it’s got the least efficient cards.
I think Inverted Iceberg is better than average for the first two copies in slower U/W/B decks. But I would avoid playing it in the faster U decks, like UW fliers or UR artifacts
Yeah, free tier only lets you have 3 total calendars and there is no color coding available so it’s limited compared to Google which is what I was leaving. But export/import was seamless and it seems a good stepping stone to replace the one-click cloud megacorp offerings. Your stack seems perfect for when I have the time to get Nextcloud going.
The claim doesn’t seem right. We do spend far more on healthcare than other nations overall and our taxed spending on healthcare seems comparable to other rich nations like Japan, though that’s only a fraction of our total spending - most is private cost. Quick back of napkin math says taxes directly spend ~4k a year/capita on healthcare expenses, mostly Medicare, and single-payer systems tend to cost about ~6k total. Data is a little old. Correct me if I’m reading wrong.
The Garamantes are cool and notable for not being based around a river at all. I got introduced to them when they were added as a civ in the strategy game Humankind.
Another fascinating rabbit hole about the world’s largest irrigation project in the same region: Libya’s Great Man-Made River
Thanks for crossposting, @Demigodrick. 36k active is more than I would have guessed but most people are probably on the low end for comments/posts. But I am happy that 4 months later Lemmy has proven active enough to stand on its own, at least for me. It sounds like .zip is stable on donations for now but I will likely contribute again in the future. Keep up the good work!
I’ve often wanted a movie/series based on the Dragonlance books or the Dark Elf trilogy. What would you all like to see done if you had the ability to do it?
Le Guin prose is exceptional and would be nearly impossible to bring to screen well. I’m sure it will be tried at some point. Maybe a dark horse, but I actually think The Lathe of Heaven might be the most adaptable. It’s the simplest story and has plenty of room for exciting changes and visuals in a film.
We’ll see how the stats line up, but this looks like a top three common for blue to me. I could see it stonewalling aggro and then providing inevitable damage late
As others said, these are mostly all signs of some kind of executive dysfunction. Mine is from depression, not ADHD, but there’s a lot of overlap. I obsessively keep my inbox empty which is a whole 'nother vibe
They’ve really been testing this card out the last few sets but now they’ve really just made a virtual white Unearth. I wonder how long before we see this at 1 mana at common.
