I think that they are likely already considering these you mention. You can get clothing and gear that aren’t made of plastic, so maybe they are doing that - the methods described on their website specifically call out using leather gloves and taking wind direction into account.

Nice art. Please mark nsfw for those of use who like to use Lemmy at work.

For me sometimes I scroll Lemmy when I’m on break at work. I would not (and DID NOT) appreciate something like this coming across my screen without an NSFW tag.

Not Safe For Work

If the buffer says 7.5 and it makes up 6 when mixed, either far too little of the buffer was used/there was already something else buffering the solution or the buffer was prepared incorrectly.

By selecting the correct buffer and the correct ratio of salt to acid (such as acetic acid and sodium acetate) an exact pH within a certain range can be reached.

I think it isn’t that these other things you mentioned aren’t war crimes, but rather that this particular instance involves a lot of evidence that could prove that this was a war crime unequivocally.

1. You heard other people say that, not me. Go respond to other people who are saying that instead of responding to someone who is NOT saying that (me).

2. What is your argument here? Honestly I’m confused about what your stance is. How far do you extend this moral equivalency? A strong case can be made that Russia’s oil industry is a vital part of its war machine, but I don’t think you could say the same about a Ukrainian coffee shop. Is it just as bad to kill a child by bombing a school as it is to kill an adult by bombing a weapons manufacturing facility?

From my perspective Ukrainian strikes are carried out in self defense against military related targets, while Russian strikes are often purposefully hitting targets not related to the military.

You can learn more about Russian strikes on Ukrainian civilians here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attacks_on_civilians_in_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine

I think your implication that a strike on Russian oil infrastructure that kills a civilian working there is equivalent to a strike on a Ukrainian apartment building is wack.

Wish we got a more complete understanding of the truckers’ side in this article - why is it so hard to turn off your engine instead of idling?

The guy quoted in the article says that some trucks need to operate their lift gates 15 or 20 times in a day. First of all, turn on your engine to operate the gate and then turn it off when you’re done… Secondly, if it is impacting business too much to take that extra time to turn the engine on and off, invest in an auxiliary power source to operate the lift gate.

Maybe I’m missing something?

How useful of a platform is it if only selected information is allowed to be shared? From my perspective, it is only useful for Reddit admins want it to be useful for.

In your particular case, it was NOT useful for communicating very important information to your local community, unless I am misunderstanding your post here.

So by you and others continuing to use Reddit instead of committing to another platform, the suppression of information is facilitated/implicitly supported.

Why are you still using Reddit? Haven’t Reddit admins proven over and over that they are willing to manipulate content on their platform to influence their users? Haven’t they shown you that their platform is worth abandoning??

If nothing else, this experience should demonstrate that it is time to switch to Lemmy full time.

So what do you suggest? No cars allowed at all? Even in European countries with strong public transportation cars are still useful and allowed (except in crowded city areas). It’s hard to imagine life out in the boonies without access to a car…

I think we should pursue better public transportation primarily, but I also think efforts to make electric vehicles better are an important piece of the puzzle to transporting ourselves sustainably.

I think there may be more to Ukraine’s abstention than being “too busy with their own shit,” probably they don’t want to annoy the US govt and risk having military aid further reduced.

This is awesome! Are these all from “I Kissed Dating Goodbye” or were there other sources for the text?

Brought to mind the song “Radio Silence” by Zella Day

The bees were on a different lower down roof from the main roof (which is the one that burned). The article notes that bee wax melts at 70C and they didn’t see any of that under the hives, so they know temperatures stayed below that. So the bees were likely only exposed to some smoke and maybe some slightly elevated temperatures.

Imo music discovery on Spotify is best done by pursuing playlists posted by musicians you like or just hopping by related artists/album features.

The article hits the nail on the head when they say to listen to human curated content - whether it be curated by yourself or someone else, it’s the best way to find something new/good.

If I were in your shoes, I would probably mention the change in tone/word choice to the lead on the project since you have a good relationship with them. Just mentioning that you noticed the change and aren’t sure about it doesn’t need to be combative, and I would be truly shocked if it cost you the job. Depending on your state it might even be illegal to fire you for something like that.

I personally would not take a stand or refuse to do the voiceover or anything like that. I would make it clear that I would do the voiceover using the script as it is written. I would think of it as providing feedback rather than making demands, which seems like it would be within the purview of a QA reviewer.

This way you can at the very least get more information about the situation - find out whether this was an intentional change. If so, it may be time to start making moves so you can eventually drop this company.

Have these all used the same candle or do you switch candles sometimes?

Would you ever use a candle that isn’t white?

Very cool. I wonder how durable these electrodes are once coated in nanowires.

Tariffs on Chinese goods are a good thing. And I honestly see why the next logical step is tariffs on Mexico because Chinese companies are already building in Mexico so they can assemble there and ship across the border and circumvent tarrifs.

I think China manipulates markets and damages the global economy while making consumers feel like they don’t need to value the products they buy because they are so cheap. And I don’t think we should be letting China off the hook for the Uyghur genocide/gluttony of human rights violations.

Buy local. I wish it was easier to buy American manufactured stuff.

Love this one!!

Do you feel that your current emotions impact your work a lot?
