Problems

  • Unfortunately, we have bears around my parts. And bears like the fruit too, driving human bear conflict. Which means the bears are killed. 🐻 :(

  • Fantastic news for the devs!

  • Rule

  • The ones in the picture are hospital socks, presumably from a psych related stay.

  • The Alps

  • Is this a map from the medieval era lol

    It's from America in 1965, so basically yeah.

  • Nah, there are just a bunch of alternate subs that people made after disliking the moderation.

  • Realistically, we're already past the point where renewables are cheaper than nuclear, so it doesn't make much sense to go into it now.

    20 years ago would be a different story.

  • Yeah, I think you are right in that idea. Realistically they will be clumped in high wind areas within that 5000km².

  • One turbine for every 12.5km²? Seems like a pretty reasonable spread accounting for space in between and geographical features they may have to avoid.

  • I was pleasantly surprised by Super Mario Wonder. It had the same feel of fun and variety that the older games did.

  • Neanderthal stands for new man valley.

  • Capitalism

  • Don't want this to come across as defeatist, because the message is nice and Ursula K. Le Guin is a real one, but there's still 43 monarchies in existence in 2024.

  • I agree with your point about teenagers work interfering with their schooling, but that's not quite correct about the mandatory age.

    It's only mandatory to 18 in New Brunswick and 17 in Manitoba.

    In the rest of Canada the age is 15 to 16. (16 in Saskatchewan.

  • Picked up Bloons Tower Defence 6 on sale for $1.50, already put quite a few hours into it.

  • The eruption was in 2022 though, so what caused the hole to increase so dramatically from 2019 to 2020?

    Anyone else addicted to Balatro right now?

    www.playbalatro.com Balatro

    Balatro is a deck-building roguelite where you must play poker hands and earn chips to defeat enemy blinds. Enhance your deck of playing cards, buy Jokers to modify each hand you play, and discover new and wild synergies to win!

    Balatro

    I'm not usually a huge fan of rogue-likes, but I've enjoyed a few, like Hades. I bought Balatro last week and have been absolutely smashing it ever since then. I love the way the game works, each run being so different even within the same framework, and the feeling when your build starts to go off is so incredibly satisfying.

    Anyone else hopelessly addicted to joker poker?

    A response to the Sarah Silverman suing OpenAI post from yesterday:

    A long form response to the concerns and comments and general principles many people had in the post about authors suing companies creating LLMs.

    Why does Lemmy have a Malian domain?

    Just wondering why lemmy is on a .ml domain. (Which is Mali) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ml
