What kind of insect is that? I can’t think of anything with that many legs that eats cockroaches.
- Comment on Most Astronauts Get ‘Space Headaches.’ Scientists Want to Know Why 3 months ago:
The article suggests something similar:
“As gravity loosens its grip, blood, lymph and cerebrospinal fluid drift from their usual locations and begin to exert pressure elsewhere.”

I opened the link just to make sure. Yes, that is the entire “article”. There are 3 links below it to pay them.

That is a good point. Thank you!

I see your point, but tamales are traditionally wrapped in corn husks or banana leaves. The covering is also not baked or fried onto a tamale.

Thank you for explaining that. I was wondering what a post about a vape had to do with this community, especially since it is positive.

That is a valid point. Also, I learned something about JavaScript! Thank you!

NaN is specifically not a number.
- Comment on HP misreads room, awkwardly brags about its “less hated” printers | Opinion: HP's printer business practices have infuriated users for years. 6 months ago:
I’m not too surprised at having to use HP software to set it up. The one I was assigned to set up wanted an HP app that requires an account. I’m pretty sure it would also need to be continuously connected to the Internet in order to print. That is utterly ridiculous!

I’m copying my comment from an earlier thread on the same subject.
Tl:Dr If you want to be less hated, make a good product.
I was asked to set up an HP printer earlier this week. It was connected by a USB cable. It stopped printing after a few pages.
HP wants the end user to download their app to use the printer. The printer also has to be set up using an Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection. I’d already tried to connect it to Wi-Fi using the button on the printer, but it just said “Er” & blinked some other lights. The HP website specifically says that the printer cannot be used with just a USB cable.
I was confident I could have got it to connect to Wi-Fi and downloaded the app, but it was too much of a problem just to be able to print.
I had a Brother printer moved into its place. There haven’t been any other printing issues.

That is an excellent point!
- Comment on xkcd #2849: Under the Stars 7 months ago:
To take this thought to the logical maximum, we are all under the stars, always. All buildings are ultimately outside, and therefore under the stars. Even in the sub-basement of the tallest building, the floors above aren’t that high compared to the atmosphere, and it’s still under the stars.
- Comment on xkcd #2849: Under the Stars 7 months ago:
Unless the animals have developed a way to move for miles every day, there should be predators who are adjusted for the night side, and predators who are adjusted for the day side that would be well known and defended against from the prey on their side. For a sentient species, figuring out how to defend against one or the other shouldn’t be too hard.
What would be harder to defend against would be those predators who live in the twilight areas are close to both day & night.

In 6,000 year creationism, some sects believe there was a physical firmament (basically a shell of ice around the earth), but that it fell during Noah’s flood.

Hmmm, is that why so many Americans have hearing loss? 😮
Seriously, vehicles and machines are definitely a big part of why I do have hearing loss

American here. Is a bicycle anything like a motorcycle?
- Comment on YouTube TV, which costs $73 a month, agrees to end “$600 less than cable” ads 8 months ago:
Well, you need a router or access points instead of a cable box. And you can stream it over Wi-Fi. Yeah, you can stream it over Wi-Fi. That’s why this is vaguely better than regular cable TV.
- Comment on Stop doing Computer Science 9 months ago:
Increasing the CPU optimization by 0.02% does seem crazy to me. If you’re going to spend time working on something, make it worthwhile. Also, isn’t while(true) {print(money)} Microsoft, Apple and Amazon:s business model?
- Comment on That thin line of dust left over when you sweep into a dustpan is a real-life zemo paradox. 10 months ago:
It’s also an example of calculus because the amount of dust approaches zero, but is never quite zero
- Comment on New rules for bots on lemm.ee & Lemmy programming stream 11 months ago:
I agree. I noticed a community mentioned above that was nothing but bot posts from YouTube. The community name did have YouTube in the name, but there were no comments on any post that I saw. A community that is just bots reposting information, possibly in random fashion, is not really a community, because no one is communing with another human or with a bot.
