Damn, you brought your A game to this rock community. Those pics are fantastic.

That makes sense and it's good to know. I'll have to knowledge up on my rock facts.

Thanks!

okay.

edit: We're okay with mods banning and calling people 'disgusting pieces of shit' for innocuous comments now? Asking because I could be having a lot more fun as a mod.

The layers are so cool. I wonder if the top is a different material or just oxidized.

Hey, I'm not a tsunami-entist.

If there's gonna be a trainwreck at least you got to see it.

Because the subjects have personalities?

Well fuck, he's out by Pictou, if you're in the neighborhood I doubt he'd mind you dropping in for a beer and a dart.

See you around, there.

Same here, bud. I only gets it back when I'm half gone with the cousins. I miss picking buckets of blueberries out back of my nan's.

S'pose we're friends now, eh?

JAYsus marynjoseph ya got yer head on right dere bud? Here's the link for you.

Weirds me out, too. I'm from the maritimes where "fuck" is essentially a pronoun.

If a joke is funny once, it's funny a thousand times I guess.

Every few years someone re-invents festivus. This is just rebranded Feats of Strength.

The article mentions the underfunding that led post-secondary institutions to rely, in part, on international students. It goes on to say all the other ways international students benefit the economy and community as well.

Helps to read the whole thing.

The historical meaning of decimating is to reduce by 1/10th.

I forgot Gary Oldman was an OG Dracula. This is neat

Fun but slowish. I get subscribers but I'm the main (only) poster. My fault for making one very niche and poorly defined community and two news coms in a saturated market.

!Art_Alchemist_Guild@lemmy.today is still super new but gets comment action, which is a good sign

!Independent_Media@lemmy.today only posts from independent news sources. I get traction but I'm the only poster. But! It's the most-visited community on .Today, which is awesome.

I made !wildfeed@sh.itjust.works to get around the rules on other news communities about article topics, quality, blogs etc. Trash is as welcome as sophisticated journalism. It gets occasional action and subscribers, but I'm contributing 99% of the posts.

I don't mind much, since reading the news is part of my job so I can just post stuff I'm going through anyway. Art is a daily activity for me, too.

We call that a typo. Or, in this case, an error when the title auto-generated based on the link. Do you have any input on the article, or are you just out spreading joy today?

That's pretty fascinating. I had no idea so much old age research relied on innacuracies to grab headlines, but not surprised.

I won't say this is any different, but was it not about finding an ancestral genetic link to living longer, and less about the regional demographic? It appears they worked in a notable area to see if there were genetic similarities between people who, well, claim to, have been alive for a hundred years or more, and if they were statistically different from the general population.

The original paper is open access. I'll admit I only skimmed it.

What. We've been able to test for genetic markers of various conditions for decades, this is only new for these conditions.
