So I made a bet with my friend that we’ll have a human step foot on Mars in our lifetime or 30 years. And he’s acting like that’s impossible.

I just keep thinking of the scenes with Kevin Nash in the longest yard. Longest Yard Estrogen

I don’t care if this is don’t peer reviewed yet or not.

This is HUGE in terms of future potential.

Within our lifetime we will have so many advances in terms of vaccines and drugs to prevent mass debilitating and death diseases, due to new technologies available.

Woo! Let’s go science?

I was wondering why the sun dials in france were all off by 2 hours!

Try signing out and back in. Fixed it for me

I believe there is an initiative by some big banks to push for wire transfers to be done via a blockchain as opposed to slow ach transfers.

They call it quantum computing or something like that… but seemed like it had potential to solve some issues with slow banking

I mean, phones hand so much space now. Does it matter?

I know I can root and get rid of stupid apps, but like I just downloaded sent movie or Playlist I needed for a two week trip without any issue on space on my fold 4. So… why does the extra crap layer these days.

Early days, I’d root as my phone degraded over time. Now… why bother

Outside of Jake Gyllenhaal being a Persian, I agree. Fun movie

Anyone have some recommendations for best of Top gear episodes. Love these guys and watched for a few years, but felt weird watching old episodes at one point. Trying to keep up with new cars, and watching old episodes made me feel weird going back. Now, I think I can enjoy them for what it is.

My mentality is, do what you can, when you can. It seems overwhelming, because it is and it isn’t just on you to control. It is mostly on the world governments and corporations to actually start initiatives to stop this from getting worse, and then actually get better later on.

You, yourself, cannot du much to influence change, and your impact with the things you choose to do to help, honestly won’t help much in the grand scheme of things unfortunately.

So recycle, get a hybrid, or electric car when you can. Contribute to organizations that support the cause but don’t stress about what you can do in the short term.

Does this force all 50 states into the contiguous 48? Like how much does Alaska contribute to the acreage here?

Crazy how much timberland we have here though vs farm… cattle

Exactly… good luck mother’s boy

Wonder if they won’t have any DC crossovers now, and just Amazon shows. Always felt superman was a bit of a stretch for MK…although omniman is just as OP, he makes sense in the universe at least.

First world problems…

I’m with you on this. How is having like 300+ more options available (depending on the school) to call the police really something that will help with school shootings specifically. Like if it happens a teacher would call.

People are so paranoid about not having instant connections available at all times. It is not that needed. Especially with kids in school.

Having everything at your fingertips is great, in theory. But for kids without the ability to regulate, it’s as much a distraction than an advantage.

Honest question. How quickly do these emergencies need to be resolved by you specifically? Like if the teacher or school can contact you in a quick manner if they go to the office, why would they need a phone on their person?

Maybe there are person exceptions here, but how often does a few minutes, or a direct contact matter?

Can always get a Bluetooth K&B for your console!

Is there any way to do actual Polls with Lemmy?

Lol sort of. That’s more like two people talking at the same time at each other. But more kicking

I have actually dealt with a partial deaf blind student back in elementary school.

You can sign ASL into their hand so they can feel what you’re signing(normally individual letters). Or they hold your hands to feel the gesture/sign you’re are making.

They read braille as a just a blind person would.

But over all takes more effort to learn this way.
