  …Does NASA have something on the web that lets people ping the Moon, by any chance?

  It’s peer reviewed if it has the name of a peer-reviewed journal on it.

  Where do journals indicate that they are?

  Would there be any sort of logs either from the systems used to move the satellite, or aboard the satellite itself, to help answer the who question, if nothing else?

  Unsurprisingly, more closely related species of similar body size and microhabitat use are more likely to be engaged in misdirected amplexus with each other.

  So…They’re similar enough that any arousal confusion is incidentally amplified? I guess they may not be similar enough for this behavior to be successful and produce increased genetic diversity among themselves, though? 🤨

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does setting/reserving a static IP via router prevent its allocation to other devices in its network?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Appreciate the example! It’s when handling a DHCP range and the related CIDR notation that I tend to get especially muddled in this area. It certainly doesn’t help that each router’s interface and terminology tends to vary just enough to add uncertainty.

  Regardless, the comments here and more focus on this have helped clear some of this up for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mental hell⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for some detail! What you describe reassures me in my decision not to get further into it, particularly as a professor path seemed one of few traditional options with what I studied.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mental hell⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Are doctorate/grad school programs distinctly competitive? My impression was that they were more challenging but similar in nature to undergrad insofar as loads of coursework to stay on top of to complete courses and ensure you got some of the most expensive, “You endured it!” paperwork in the world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which anime do you enjoy with a mostly adult cast of characters?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For anyone else perusing this thread, don’t sleep on this one! It’s a solid recommendation. I’d watched it prior to seeing this comment, and its art style is slick as hell with an interesting story to boot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which anime do you enjoy with a mostly adult cast of characters?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This was harder to answer than I thought, pushing up to 20 eliminates a lot of contenders I think.

  Maybe so, though that’s why I tried to relax it with 18 and older as well as mostly vs only adults. If there’s some younger characters I don’t mind, but I thought I’d ask about anime with a primary cast of older characters for a little change of pace.

  Appreciate the suggestion!
