Each and every one of the creatures we descended from, stretching all the way back to the beginning of life on Earth, has survived by killing before being killed. We are the final product of a string of millions of killers.
- Comment on The Firefox browser now has a built-in page translator that works even without the Internet 1 year ago:
I can’t seem to find the setting. Is it not available for Firefox for Android (Fenix), do you know?
- Comment on Where the hell does wind begin?? 1 year ago:
To add to others, wind also is generated when a rain “microburst” occurs.This happens frequently in the southwest U.S.
A microburst is when a very large amount of water is dropped out of the clouds. The gaining rain speed pushes the air below it out of the way. The air is pushed outward horizontal to the ground, which in essence is a massive wall of wind.
Often in the Sonoron desert a microburst causes the wind to push a lot of dirt from the ground surface to be blown out with the wind. When thud happens it’s called a haboob. The wall of thick dust and particles can be up to a mile high and as wide as a city.
Below is a link to an image of a haboob over Phoenix, Arizona.
- Comment on The Chinese calendar is 4721 years old. Did it have the same problem as the Julian calendar with an imprecise number of days per year? 1 year ago:
Very interesting. Thank you for taking the time to contribute your knowledge. I appreciate it.
- Comment on Amazon restricts authors from self-publishing more than three books a day after AI concerns 1 year ago:
Not if they are regulated to put an “In Full or in Part AI Generated” label on it.

I think we’re there. The future is today.
- Comment on How do I tame my frustration toward my aging parents? 1 year ago:
Treat them how you would wish to be treated when you are old, forgetful, stubborn, deaf, and slower. Getting old can suck. It’s angering. It hurts. They are humans with emotions. Don’t forget that.
- Comment on What are your favorite Lemmy instances? 1 year ago:
The one that doesn’t allow advertisements or rampant bots.
- Comment on Question for software developers: how do you organize your To Do list at work? 1 year ago:
Todo.txt plain text file. Use Vim. Date and todo statement. Sometimes more for explanations. I never delete anything in it; just make an X next to todo’s I’ve completed. File goes back many years. I can easily search for something I did a long time ago.
And then there’s MS OneNote NOTE for capturing howto’s, quick script one-liners, cheat sheets, diagrams, notes on various industry interfaces, etc.
Then there’s SCM for bug, feature, and track tasking.
And usually notepad paper and pen for meetings, which if there are todo’s, go into my electronic todos.txt file.
- Comment on what is you're opinion on qksms? 1 year ago:
I just started using it, after dumping my paid Textra app after I learned it had 9 trackers.
I haven’t had a lot of usage with it yet, as I’m not a big texting person. It looks good so far. I wish it had a feature to text myself to provide myself with quick notes. Other apps have it and the text doesn’t actually go out to SMS and back which is nice.
Also wish it had the ability to copy specific text in a message. Currently it only lets me choose an entire message to copy.
I also don’t see a way to send an audio clip.
Does it provide quick reply suggestions? If not, that would be nice to have.
- Comment on Please don't repeat the same mistake as Linux 1 year ago:
I never thought about that. That’s a great idea.
