  • I'm telling you that if nothing is done about it, global warming, the extinction of species and other factors will raise the likelihood of humanity's extinction to a higher level than it has been in tens of thousands of years, over the course of the next few hundred years. We can only speculate about how earth will be like in three hundred years and if there are places left that remain inhabitable for humans.

    The inuit rely on fish, which are on track to become extinct in this century even. People survive in the Sahara by bringing lifestock/food and water with from elsewhere, but the desert grows from year to year.

  • Extinction doesn't need to happen in seconds, like when a big space object collides with earth. It can also happen gradually. Major environmental alterations like weakened amoc and global warming will make many more regions of the earth uninhabitable, for example when the temperature rises over 46°C regularly or when there are regular droughts or floods. A lot of land where hundreds of millions of people currently live on, will be completely submerged, desertificated or barren. And these changes won't just affect humans, but also whole ecosystems that we need to survive, for example fishing grounds, forests or, if you think about the extinction of species, especially insects, arable land in all parts of the world.

    Our civilization as we know it right now can not survive catastrophes like these in the long term, and we cannot be certain that human life will remain possible on the planet without being completely dependent on artificial habitats, food, water sources etc.

  • Can someone explain to me who these people are? What were they doing before they've been ordered to DC? Are they a standing army, training while they're not ordered somewhere? Or are they reservists? Or police from elsewhere?

  • Yes exactly. Embrace and extinguish has always been Microsoft's strategy. They'll release their own distribution and either make it slower and more complicated than Windows, so that everyone thinks Windows is the better OS, or they'll make it a cloud OS like Chrome, requiring recurring payments to use Office 365 and everything else.

  • Not american either, I think we others can care about US politics when it's affecting the rest of the world, but we really dont have to understand or care about every shopping mall chain's logo, even if their politicians fight about it. So please, go ahead while we're waiting for results regarding Ukraine, Gaza, tariffs and that elite pedophile ring of yours.

  • There are many aspects to that question, I could for example say that what hundreds of people eat in a restaurant in a week has to be of consistent quality and perfectly hygienic. I could talk about how knowing when to add salt to a dish makes the difference between stale or juicy lentils. Or that a roux tastes so much better if you just sauté it for a few minutes, which anyone would always do if they just knew about it, and it's the job of a recipe to tell them.

    But in the end, I dont think cooks are more pompous about their craft than carpenters or painters are about their work. They wouldn't use steel screws for wood or a broad brush for corners. It's a craft and people get angry if someone gives wrong explanations.

  • The fact that milk is added as a binder/emulsifier + flavor-enhancer doesn't suddenly turn it into a fucking "ragu". Further, even if gravy was the wrong term for this sauce, the correct one certainly isn't a ragu. This is much closer to a velouté [...]

    I think it's much closer to a béchamel. The recipes I've found dont really create a roux first, but if they did, a Bechamel is exactly what you're creating if you add milk instead of water or broth and mix it until your wrist falls off.

  • Sorry but that is a ridiculous source, they forgot to add yeast to their yeast dough and just went with it. If they dont care about doing things the way they believe it tastes best, why bother with recipes at all?

  • In Sahne gelöstes Lachgas ist nicht das Problem, die Reinform ist es.

  • Nice picture but needs more Thiel

  • And what about the senate?

  • Americans would do anything to not call a general strike.

  • I think you're complaining that your lemmy client displays the alt text over the image. Mine does that with videos, which I also find annoying, but not with images. In any case, it is a client issue, so you could ask your developer nicely for an option to disable this behaviour (or look in the settings if it's already possible)

  • I often hear americans (even scientists) say that they prefer the Fahrenheit scale for weather forecasts, but I believe the perceived higher accuracy is an illusion. Forecasts aren't that accurate for any given micro climate.

    For example, I don't care if my weather forecast says 26°C or 28°C, I know it's "short sleeves" weather and when I look at a few graphs at the end of the day, it's been 25.6°C two meters above ground 100 meters south of me and 27.3°C in the garden, but only for 5 minutes etc.

  • We shouldn't be talking about stuff like this here. It spooks the noobs.

  • Light-skinned people are not a race either and they still treat people with darker skin as if they belonged to a different race.

  • The organizers will inform the city that a critical mass protest is taking place, the city will inform the police and they will cordon off the route. If there are enough people talking part in the protest, the public order authorities will have no other choice - thus the name critical mass. The right to protest takes precedence over the right to drive this specific route.

  • It might be more related to the pizza slice than anything else. Some guys get extraordinarily hangry. Sex is exhausting. He should prepare more food for afterwards.

  • This might just be the dumbest article I've read today, and it doesn't even hide its bias. "Increasing one key metric". Let me guess, code quality wasn't it.
