Welch’s Fruit Snacks. The Halloween packs are small and very snacky, only $0.10 each at costco.

The Battle for Wesnoth is my all-time favorite FOSS. Can’t understate it.

Very nice. How long does it usually take to reach 200 °F internal temp in the smoker? My usual size is about 8 lbs which takes > 12 hours.

That is a very thorough article, and an enjoyable read as well! Excellent addition to the community.

I also just looked up The Food Lab, and it’s now on my Father’s Day wishlist :-D

Hmm. The server is up right now. Does it give an error or just sit there?

I can say I’ve had horrible luck trying to sign up through the apps. It works much better through a standard browser for initial sign up.

One more for Bitwarden. You can even run your own local server and avoid using the cloud.

I joined mander.xyz because it has a central theme around the natural sciences. It could possibly include STEM content as well; there is an ongoing discussion about it. The admin(s) are present and very responsive.

For anyone with a love of science and/or nature I recommend it highly as a home instance of Lemmy.

“Like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass,” the CEO wrote.

This is true. By sheer population most Redditors never left. But I’d say a core percentage responsible for actually making content has moved on and won’t be back.

It’s interesting that larger wings improve thermoregulation in both hot and cold climates. Nice find!

I think extending to STEM is a good take on it. That would keep it at least academically focused and make it easy to say “communities about horror fiction authors aren’t what we’re going for”, etc. My only concern would be an explosion of extremely niche communities that never really take off, potentially diluting broader communities. However, that’s more an issue with the Fediverse in general and could be unavoidable growing pains.

I love being able to browse local and only get topics in the sciences field. It gives Mander a unique feel and I think that tone is worth preserving. I have subbed to communities on other instances that are definitely not science-based and can easily catch up on them by filtering subscribed.

It’s getting better! All the time! This was just posted yesterday.

The newsgroup server I’m on is actually called eternal-september.org in remembrance.

Same here as well. I uninstalled rif and replaced its icon with Jerboa. I don’t even notice the difference until the screen loads 😄

Looks great! The waterfall edge was an excellent choice with that grain.

My personal take on it is that such behavior comes from the large-site mentality. Smaller subs initially do have higher levels of discourse, but each posting account is still sharing a karma score across the entire site. Eventually it shifts to discussion-ending posts with high upvotes.

I have high hopes that the decentralized nature of things like Lemmy will help preserve quality topic discussion. Lemmy.ml being overloaded pushed me to find a server instance more in line with my individual topics and ending up joining a very nice science community. Shout-out to Mander.xyz

In any laboratory, including ours, we always find the same result: Adolescents just are not as good as adults at cognitive control — except in studies where we say, if you do this trial correctly, we’re going to give you extra points for more money. And, miraculously, adolescents can then do it like adults.

As a teacher I’ve found this is key to motivation in the classroom. It’s an amazing transformation for the 10-15 minute window.
