  • morphology-based phylogeny

  • I guess I assumed 'sprout' meant directly out of the ground instead of a "Brussels tree".

    I don't recognize a few of the other ones.

  • What's a subject you (think) you know more about than the average Lemmy user?

    Jump

  • Nice. When I am teaching students in our intro class that everyone takes it once regardless of skill, I can always tell when someone has skated as a kid (or done other sports like skiing) even if it's been decades for them - it's just much easier to return to than to start from scratch like I did.

    Jump

  • Roller skating. In that community my skill level is nothing special. But it's not a common hobby to have at all these days (at least where I am) for the average person.

  • Decisions

    Jump

  • It's how the song goes.

  • "Ubunchu!" - The Official Manga from The Ubuntu Magazine Japan has now been fully translated into English (under an open license of course)

    Jump

  • Yeah, 2009... I remember the Jaunty Jackalope and Karmic Koala - although I was using Kubuntu.

  • That's my pile

    Jump

  • I like that it's exactly the same pile, none of them even shifted while being painted.

  • Follow the line

    Jump

  • This is all very true. I didn't mean it wasn't a profound message - just that the profound can come from odd places. It was an excellent episode in my opinion.

  • Follow the line

    Jump

  • My favorite thing about this is the context: It was literally about losing a video game.(Data thought he was broken 'cus he lost)

  • German carmaker Audi still in reverse – but more slowly

    Jump

  • Sound like...

    ...They're Audi.

  • I found a crow with vitiligo

    Jump

  • If emus aren't real, then who/what defeated Australia in that war?

  • Possible near future or even present.

    Jump

  • Yeah - in the terminology here it would be more like a whole group of communities (since we call each "topic" on an instance a community) but yes.

    Admins can (and do) also block individual communities on an instance that is still federated, such as lemmy.world blocking !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com but leaving most of the rest of dbzer0 connected.

  • Possible near future or even present.

    Jump

  • Basically "yes" to all of the above, including "not all connected": Most of them are connected to each other, but some are "defederated", for example there's one called Beehaw that isn't connected to lemmy.world and some of them have chosen not to connect to lemmynsfw.com for reasons.

    Do you believe in Supernatural things?

    Jump

  • There are two unexplained phenomena that I currently believe in (but either could change at any time - by being explained or by being shown not to exist.)They are dark matter and dark energy.

    But ghosts and stuff? Certainly not.

    John Searle Has Died

    Jump

  • He lived to see Chinese Rooms become not just common, but extremely popular and well marketed. Even able to run locally on consumer hardware.

    (Note: The rulebook in the thought experiment is what we now call weights)

  • Did Border Control exist in previous eras? (Say, like 500+ years ago or more) Can people go to other places? If so, what does the procedure look like? Just walk across a border?

    Jump

  • At some point wasn't it actual stone walls around cities, with guards at the gates checking people?

  • Definitive proof that Galaxy Quest happens in the Star Trek universe. Crewman Daniels was posing as a Thermian.

    Jump

  • Makes sense, they do have (extremely limited) time manipulation technology.

  • Flashbacks scenes in Movies/TV should be depicted as being more blurry than present scenes, since most people can't actually remember a past event that accurately.

    Jump

  • But memories don't in any way feel like the present moment? That's universal, right?

    Dreams either for that matter, but I somehow fail to care or even notice most of the time while dreaming.

  • 250mm F2.0

    Jump

  • ... But that's only f/2.2 - huge, but worse focal ratio.
