I’m betting it’s correct from the other side, but the maker premade the panels and did not realize that the front and back of each panel should be different (or did not flip the order when they flipped them over).

If Aliens came to Earth, would we not have as much of a language chellenge as they would do with us? Also like in Mars Attacks how would we know that we aren't saying lets go to War? in c/askscience@lemmy.world

I would imagine that if an alien species is making first contact, they have a reason to want to communicate and would have prepared based on our broadcasts or would bring along a specialist to study our language quickly.

The other options would be an accidental contact, in which case they might not be as prepared, or a contact that they are indifferent about communicating with us, in which case we are likely fucked.”

I’d still prefer Velveeta over a Cheeto-dusted turd.

Avatar (the one with the blue aliens) is such a weird franchise in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Technically humans are the aliens in that franchise. The blue folks are the native inhabitants.

Hahaha! I’m sorry.

Gods. Floppies were a PITA with this. The default was (reasonably) to boot the floppy first, but there was no fallback for when the disk was unbootable. So, if you were saving your work to a floppy and left it in when you shutdown, the next time you turned the computer on it would just sit there saying “hey! Your floppy didn’t boot” until you ejected the floppy and powercycled it.

Can’t access Fedia over cellular (fedia.io)
 

Over the past few days, I haven’t been able to access fedia.io over my cellular network, but it is fine over WIFI. I don’t know if the problem is on my end or Fedia’s. Its happening on every device and browser I’ve checked on or hotspotting through my phone.

I get a “SSL error”, “can’t securely connect to server”, “HTTP ERROR 408”, or “PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR” depending on the browser.

Someone on that one site fixed a similar issue by updating the site’s DNS IPv6 configuration. I don’t know if that helps.

There is a special place in hell for modern manufacturers of devices that have a USB-C port, but won’t charge from a modern USB-C charger. (fedia.io)
 

I just went to charge my kitchen scale and it wouldn’t work until I dug out a USB-A -> C cable and plugged it into my desktop…

It just reminded me of how many devices like that I have. This scale, my wife’s sound torc, some car jumperstarters, and I think a one or two more…

I assume it’s because they just slap a usbc port on a dumb 5v circuit that doesn’t have a power negotiation controller. So the cable and the charger cant figure out the power needs of the device are and just never send any.

Does measles effect allergies? (fedia.io)
 

DISCLAIMER: I am in no way advocating for the spreading of a highly contagious and deadly disease or the abstention from safe and highly effective vaccines. But, this is No Stupid Questions, so…

Measles is known for wiping out your immune system memory and re-endangering you to pathogens you had once successfully fought off.

Allergies are when your immune system misidentifies something harmless (like pollen or peanuts) as a harmful pathogen and triggers an immune response.

So, what happens to allergies in people who get measles? Does it wipe out the immune system’s memory of the allergen? Does it expose them to develop new allergies? Do we even know whether it does anything to allergies at all, or has it never been studied? What about other auto immune diseases?

Secondly, if it does do something, is there some way that it can be utilized to help allergy sufferers? Not in the “give people a deadly contagious disease” kind of way (I’ve heard of the tapeworm thing), but is there something there that could studied and developed into a targeted drug or treatment? Or is the mechanism just too broad and dangerous.
