I’d love to see the health outcomes of this sort of approach in general. One thing that has always irked me though is that we don’t directly test for cholesterol, we test for the expression of cholesterol carrier protein, and as far I know, don’t distinguish Apo versus Holo. Just presuming that expression scales linearly with cholesterol levels with no deviations for genetics (among other factors) just feels like an enormous leap of faith.
Of course, and they are banking on the voter fatigue from the whole Issue 1 ordeal to give them cover.
I’m not saying Lemmy/Kbin are perfect but fragmentation is a red herring. Reddit has a HUGE degree of fragmentation, look at how many news subs there are or wrestling versus squaredcircle ect. It’s not really an issue either, take the wildly different approaches Games takes to Gaming; each community serves a related, but unique purpose.
The true battle here is userbase and thankfully those numbers are climbing at a sustainable rate. If we ever get into the hundreds of millions of users it won’t matter how many cooking subs there are, there would be enough unique and viable ones that everyone would have just the one they were looking for.
I really appreciate the direction these changes put c/games on. Looking forward to seeing this place grow and thrive.
It’s awesome to see these projects are still alive and kicking but they feel like a relic of a past era nowadays. Much like how stock ROMs on Android have improved to the point that rooting isn’t really beneficial in most cases anymore, the stock firmware on the majority of routers is perfectly serviceable. I’m sure there are still some corner cases where they are as transformative as ever though.
That’s an absolutely wild finding. I’m sure this loops back around to the (impossibly huge) impact of the gut microbiome.
Those threads were user driven. Honestly, the easiest way would be to reach out to TurboStrider and see if he had any interest in posting over here. He was always very cordial with the “old guard” (long time members that underwent a mass exodus over the last 6 months, myself included) on the mod team and has bristled a bit with the remaining team, at least at the time of my departure. It’s a lot more work than it appears and that’s why the mod team stayed far, far away from it (and the impossible to avoid optics of biases based on where various publications fell in order).
I think the best option right now would be to post a framework thread on launch day, have a pinned post if possible or just upvote the snot out of a placeholder and have users reply to said top post with reviews as they trickle in with a copy and paste format provided at the bottom of the framework thread. Sorry if my terminology and/or lack of knowledge on what tools we have available here comes off the wrong way, I just was deeply involved in r/games for several years and old habits die hard.
I seriously doubt Nintendo would get into a situation where they are less than a year away from a new console without even soft announcing it’s coming in an investor meeting or anything. They announced Switch (as the upcoming NX) in April 2016 for a March 2017 launch. WiiU was announced April 2011, for a November~Dec 2012 launch. The Wii was hyped 2 years in a row in 2004 and 2005 before releasing in 2006, and the Gamecube was announced August 2000 before a Sept~Nov 2001 release. Nintendo may very well be launching new hardware early next year, but history points more to a Switch Pro unless they announce VERY soon and the release window is more late summer~fall 2024.
Gosh, I think you’d have to be in the REAL middle of nowhere to be even 100 miles from a population center. Maybe out west in either of the Dakotas or Wyoming or something, but I imagine even then it’s quite rare and represents a fraction of a percentage point of the population. “Never let perfect be the enemy of good”
You know, the bike wrinkle is something I hadn’t even considered. That’s an awesome point and all the more reason why we need to build a better transit system.
Now I can only speak for the US, but most major cities have ring roads or some sort of bypass that would be perfect for a hub and spoke sort of setup alongside them. Maybe it’s just the fact that the university I went to famously has a light rail system and the concept is just embedded in me, but I’d imagine the uptake of a park and ride approach with stations out in the burbs (certainly not all of them, but laid out so that you don’t need to go more than a burb or two over to reach a station) would be high enough to be worth it. Putting in some shops at the stations like an airport foodcourt would help offset building costs and whatnot to a degree over time as well. Then you could tie the hubs into other major cities in the state and you’ve got yourself a compelling transit system, doubly so if those cities have subways.
That’s true, but you also have to consider that the 65+ block is a smaller chunk of the population, currently pegged at 16.8% whereas 18 to 44 accounts for 35.9%. The moves the GOP are making are definitely upsetting the 30-somethings too, especially since they have been on the student loan treadmill for over a decade in a lot of cases. Depending on where you look (my quick glance was from Pew) the millennial voting block was roughly equal to the 65+ in sheer count. It just makes zero logical sense to keep pushing way past the point of diminishing returns on trying to get more of the boomer vote at the cost of nearly every other demographic.
I think it’s less a change in sentiment and more if they’ve driven away all but the “true believers”. I know the sub I modded lost almost all their long time active mods and are down to the bottom of barrel with a few exceptions (whom all don’t seem long for the sub either at least at the time of my exit).
but you won’t convince me that there weren’t some kind of backdoor deals which gave them money or other perks from advertisers.
I was a mod for r/games for years and never got a single perk. I must have been doing it wrong.
I feel your pain there. I made the switch during the pandemic thanks to my lectures all being recorded. Hearing myself start every single class with “Okay guys let’s get started” was just so cringey that I had to do something.
I feel like there’s still an acceptable way to do this as long as you keep it respectful and follow the mantra of “say more with less”. For example, let’s say we were at a cookout and I came by and said “Hey dude, have you seen Josh Allen’s girlfriend? She’s absolutely stunning”. You pull your phone out Google her we both nod and then move on to something else. If it lingers more than that or wades into the more murky waters of specifics then I agree it’s totally over the line.
So how many hours did you spend in there? There’s just so much interesting stuff and the mini restaurants inside are solid too! I think the first trip my wife and I made in there went for like 2~3 hours and we left with a wild assortment of stuff you just won’t find anywhere else.
I’m just thankful that Firefox still exists. I switched over back in 2003 and got hooked on Thunderbird as well.
It’s sad that there’s absolutely nothing at the Cincinnati Zoo dedicated to or even slightly hinting at Harambe ever even existing. The closest thing to a memorial is a statue of him outside of Jungle Jim’s all the way over in Eastgate.
So Thunderbird is super dead this time huh?
