Fair point. But I do think it is important to protect Lemmy’s reputation. It’s less about salesmanship, and more about standing up to bad takes and random, misc bullshit.

Agreed. Even in those threads though, in my experience. Even if the op is asking, op is not the only one in the thread. More often than not, people will jump in specifically to badmouth us.

I always see a lot of pushback against any alternatives proposed on reddit itself. There’s a pretty strong, probably multi-faceted resistance any time anything new is mentioned. So, it’s good to keep in mind you will face that, and be prepared with some patience and counter-arguments.

Simplifies your wardrobe a lot, that’s probably my favorite thing about mono-season climates.

One of the big disadvantages we have is that we’re still somewhat under-developed, due to being newish still, alongside not having corporate-levels of resources to pour into development.

This leaves us open to things like the recent spam flood. These things will get ironed out over time, but until they do, they’ll inevitably harm the platform’s growth.

In just the past 6 months though, apps have rolled out and steadily improved, some security issues have been addressed, and larger communities have built-out their admin capacity. So, we’re approaching being primed for growth, but that recent spam flood took me aback for a second.

You want to make a strong first impression, since it carries a lot of influence and you only get one shot. So, before we really do heavy campaigning to try to draw people, we want to make sure they’ll have a good experience while they’re here. I think we’re close, but not quite there yet.

Progress has been steady and overall positive though. One thing I think that gets underestimated is the importance of the size of our body of old content, and how much it helps to grow that. The meme communities having pages and pages of memes to scroll, the news communities having articles on everything in triplicate, the tech communities having thousands of interesting old convos to look at, the art communities being crammed full of art, etc etc.

That body of old stuff ends up being a kind of bedrock that future users will be more interested in building off of. Then the niche communities will start to pop more imo.

Different fuels do release different amounts of heat when burned, this is true. But, the amount of heat in a fuel, and “temperature” are two different things. Did you not understand my explanation of how that worked?

Memory can get foggy after even a few years, much less 20. Brains are not as pure as we like to think. This is why witness testimony is such weak evidence in a courtroom, where physical evidence like fingerprints are considered much better. People’s memories suck.

edit: So how about this one. If wood fires “burn at a low temperature”, how does the inside of a forest fire get over 1000 C? If wood just burns at a set temp, wouldn’t that be the temp they can reach?

Pick up litter when I come across small amounts of it.

Care to share any of this? Sounds to me like fake meme-ey stuff. Can even post it in the local science community if you want, I’m sure we’d be interested over there.

Depends entirely on the design and structure of your forge. Heat can be added in unlimited quantities, and so long as it cannot escape through any openings or through anything weakly insulating, it will simply accumulate … and accumulate … and accumulate, as you add more and more joules. The temp will get hotter … and hotter … and hotter. What your source of heat is, is irrelevant. This is how the interior of your car gets hotter than the surroundings on a sunny day, despite the source being the same, yes? Containment of the slowly-accumulating heat.

It’s like weight. It doesn’t matter how heavy a hippo is, if we keep adding hippo … after hippo … after hippo to a set of scales, we can eventually reach whatever weight, yes? Accumulation, not individual hippo weight, is what matters. Heat in a forge is no different, assuming your forge contains all the heat produced properly.

And they didn’t, they collapsed starting higher up. Check an unedited video.

An idea needs more than a bunch of content made for it to be genuinely fleshed out. It has to try to address counter-arguments. Like, for instance, how it doesn’t matter what fuel you use to generate heat in an enclosed space. The temperature an oven reaches is not dependent on what fuel you use to heat it, it’s dependent on how well the space insulates and retains heat.

You can melt steel with a wood fire, in an appropriate oven.

The crust has a few tectonically stable regions that have never slid into the mantle. This is where we’ve found rocks that date all the way back to 2-3 billion-ish years. We call them geologic shields.

Our current activities would leave chemical markers in these regions that would be detectable for a very, very long time, and could come from no known natural process.

Otherwise you’re right, everything else eventually slides into the mantle and gets turned back into magma over a long enough timeframe.

Sounds like a fantastic option for folks that don’t like any mandatorily enforced censorship.

They should all go there.

If you’re not doing anything illegal then I highly recommend keeping your hands out in the open where they can see both of them, and politely answering their questions.

They have a gun, so its not about right/wrong, it’s about your own safety. You don’t know if that’s a decent one or a shitty one.

That’s the vagabond lifestyle, and yes there’s a modest number of them. It’s apparently a hard life, but at least you’re pretty much completely free.

They’re basically hippies, they mostly bum rides. Dumpster diving is popular. People give them stuff too. You meet more in places where winter isn’t really a thing, just cuz winter gets kinda cold, and they can go where they want, so they don’t really stay there.

Honestly I don’t remember the details, and when I google “taylor swift ticketmaster” I get fairly predictable results. There was some drama about them screwing her over, and her screwing them over in return or somesuch. I do know that ticketmaster has held a significant monopoly on event ticketing for over a decade now though, and has only recently begun to get investigated.

Sorry I can’t be more use, I’m not a swiftie and I tend to dislike pop culture in general.

She also is helping bring down the Ticketmaster monopoly. That’s where she earned my respect.

How the hell are they supposed to know your degree is worth any more than the paper its printed on? It could be from some shitty school someone just started last year. Honestly, I find it a little hard to believe a veteran doesn’t understand what tests are for, since the military uses them frequently.

Want to be a SEAL? Pass the test. It’s not complicated.

Found it.

I’m not sure I see what you are describing.

Any evidence for any of this?
