Unreal, what a finish.

This is how I decline into drinking too much. I'm currently on a good path though.

I don't know how it is where you are, but here disabled and elderly people already ride the bus for free.

I think you got a minority of downvotes to start, then others piled in. There are plenty of similar jokes in the thread that didn't get that treatment. Also, people ~~on the internet~~ are generally pretty bad at reading and the venn diagram has a lot of overlap with people looking for an excuse to be offended.

This articulates my frustration with the internet/lemmy extremely well. I've saved it for future reference and I'm optimistically hopeful for the future when maybe this isn't something so many people need to see.

Nestle produces a lot of other things than sugar and fat. So much in fact that it's actually hard to completely avoid them. The point is that they are a terrible company who does bad things, so you should boycott them.

Also, people can indulge in sugar and fat if they want to.

Little edit on that past point because some people don't understand indulge doesn't always mean over indulge, or they outright think I'm deranged because I might indulge in a chocolate bar as a treat in my otherwise varied and balanced diet and I suggested others might do the same if they want to.

I understand too much fat and chocolate is bad, that doesn't mean the world should never eat things that might be bad for them in moderation, relax.

People should normalize drinking from decadent cups. I would love it if someone offered me some lemonade at their house and it came in a cup like this.

I thought race direction was on the money today. I've no interest in stop start races or races with endless safety cars. F1 causes too much spray and if the drivers can't see you can't really justify a race with an acceptable level of risk. The only way we would get wetter races is with a complete redesign of the cars, which would probably lower the performance so much that it just wouldn't be F1 anymore.

He's being out classed by Oscar this year.

I was struggling to make sense of what you were saying at first, but actually it worked well when you could watch Monaco before Indy because of the timezones. Now I assume that won't be possible so I think that's the issue?

We might get a couple laps towards the end of the 3 hour race window, but it's never going to be a full race today. Sad times.

Edit: crofty and brundle just said in commentary that the 3 hours hasn't actually started because the race never started. I'm more optimistic with this information.

 

I get why people don't like it, but when I scroll lemmy and see a post which looks like it has a decent level of engagements I'm finding an endless stream of replies that are always the same.

"Is this ai?" "Looks like it might be ai" "Ai slop" "This is ai, look at the [feature]"

Communities should set a rule to allow ai or not. Allowing ai but it must be declared could be a decent approach.

If there isn't a rule in the community that prohibits ai, I really wish people would cool it.

 

I've hatched 6 eggs and got 2 roosters. I was thinking about keeping one if I can manage the noise and agree with my neighbours.

If I do go ahead, how do I deal with the inbreeding thing? I assume he is probably going to try mate with his sisters... Obviously I wouldn't hatch any of those eggs, but is it normal to just allow that kind of weirdness in the flock?

 

I had a small flock of 3 hens who all got along once the pecking order was figured out.

One day, a lower hen became broody and I allowed her to hatch a clutch of eggs. This broodyness made her a bit defensive and caused some issues with the top hen.

Once the eggs hatched I separated her and her chicks to a nursery space away from the other hens until I felt they were old enough to free range, ~4 weeks. I didn't move her while nesting because I was afraid of breaking her broodyness.

Gradually she became less and less protective and has now returned to laying eggs. The chicks are independent approaching 8 weeks, although still attached to the mother hen. They are still roosting/nesting separately to the other hens in the nursery coop.

When the bullying happens now, she submits immediately to the lead hen and has no protective urges for the chicks.

The issue is that the top hen isn't letting up and I'm concerned about what happens when the chicks become too big to fit in the nursery coop and everyone needs to roost together.

I've seen some recommendations to separate the one being bullied for awhile, others to separate the bully and others to let things play out. One thing I was potentially going to wait out was for the rooster chick(s) to grow up enough to police the hen fighting.

Any other suggestions here?

 

Do school kids still belt that out in assembly?

 

The knowledge of what these actually are, appears to have been lost to the ages. A modern tragedy equivalent to the burning of the library of Alexandria.

 

I have a load of filters set up on my feed, notably I don't want to see Trump or Elon.

Due to recent events, so much content is coming through that it is as if I don't have filters at all.

If the text or title doesn't include the key words, it can't be filtered. All the screenshots or posts with jokes or bad titles can't be filtered.

I think the only way proper filters could be achieved is with a separate 'tags' field that could be added to or voted on by community members.

This might all seem like a lot of effort, but feed filters are such a good feature that I think it would be worth it.

I don't want unreasonable perfection for the filters, but the system seems too flawed at the moment.

I have no idea where this kind of discussion or decision would be made so I'm just throwing it out as a question here.

 

There are lots of issues I have with them in terms of privacy, but I'm going to be very specific in asking about a certain situation and would prefer to stay on that topic if possible.

I have seen someone showing AI glasses which allow the wearer to cheat at chess. The glasses provide the wearer with computer engine moves, essentially making them unbeatable against even the strongest grand masters.

How can someone prevent this from happening, for example in a tournament match?

I don't consider this as being an issue at the highest level of professional play, but for club and casual players they might not have the resources to deal with this.

Currently the camera and/or screen information might be fairly obvious just by looking, but assuming technology improves this could become harder to detect.

Retrospectively, it would be easy to spot a cheater and correct results, however this still spoils things by having the cheating in the first place.

It isn't realistic to ask people to play without glasses, and I'm not aware of any way to stop cameras or ai from functioning.

So what can be done, if anything?

I just noticed this, what should I do? Sorry for the vague question but I can't find any good articles on what this is.

Everything I find starts the same way "top 8 reasons for brown leaves". Then says too much water, not enough water, too much light not enough light too much fertilizer not enough, wrong kind of fertilizer and so on and so on. That isn't helpful! Do I just have to guess? Why is all plant knowledge basically voodoo?

I'm tempted to take a cutting so I have a spare to try again if it all goes wrong, but the plant only has 5 leaves, so I'm stressing out.

 

First I want to say hello, I have only 3 lovely chickens to start off with as I learn the ropes.

Secondly, my neighbours son is absolutely obsessed with the chickens. It's really nice, but he is also feeding them huge amounts of wild bird seed and I'm a little worried. There are mounds of the stuff being poured over the fence!

I have spoken to his parents nicely and asked them to stop him doing so, which they understand.

In case this doesn't get resolved quickly, is there any danger that this can cause harm to my chickens?

Any idea what this is? Many leaves are dying on the plant, wondering if there is a way to save it. I have forgotten the name of the plant, but will update when I find it.

Edit Ctenanthe Lubbersiana - thanks @squeezeyerbawdy

 

I have a dreamcatcher which I thought had a dying leaf or something, but it looks like this could be something like seeds!? There is a second pod which isn't open to the left in the picture.

I don't really know what it is but I'm excited about it. My other aglaonema hasn't grown at all in 2 years!

Anyone tuning in at all on the off weekend for F1? It's nice to see some familiar faces in the teams.
