Not sure this is a leopards ate my face situation, she bought while the stock prices were down and has profited greatly from the recovery since tariffs were paused. This is a big win for her.

SELL THEIR HOUSES TO WHO, BEN?!

Yeah, I hadn't realized that but you're right. I originally come from the old dead kbin.social instance. I just checked an old community and I can see the posts, but new comments there don't propagate to other instances.

I wonder if there's any solution to that. Lemmy admins can move threads between communities, but I don't know if that works across instances. I wonder if a whole community from a dead instance could be moved to another instance by mass-moving all threads.

On the other hand, most content "from" any individual server still exists elsewhere in the network. I was following this thread even while lemmy.zip was down just by reading it from another instance.

While the entrypoint to the network can go down, nothing really goes away, you just have to jump to another server. All you really lose is the post history tied to your account--and the posts still exist, just under your old name.

We all were. (Thread from !fediverse@lemmy.world)

Glad to have you back!

*pushes up glasses, engages nasal voice* Technically, the Beach Boys had an Electro-Theremin, which produces a similar sound but with less hand-waving. The Electro-Theremin used a pitch slider and a volume knob to control its output.

Here we go, I found lemmy.zip admin Demigodrick's Mastodon.

Hey what's going on with lemmy.zip? I'm getting host errors when I try to connect. I'm new to the whole fediverse thing so just trying to figure out what's up?

Demigodrick

hey, currently a substantial server error - I'm looking to restore a backup ASAP but need the time to do it, so hopefully later on today

The last post in !announcements@lemmy.zip was for a scheduled downtime yesterday while they did server maintenance and possibly updated their Lemmy version. Did they ever come back up after that, or have they been down since then?

Well, have you tried bending over in skinny jeans?

I'm not the president of genetics, but dire wolves are apparently super different to present-day wolves. They're not even in the Canis genus. Regular grey wolves are Canis lupus and dire wolves are Aenocyon dirus. Canis and Aenocyon split off from a common ancestor 5.7 million years ago.

To create these new dire wolves, scientists modified 14 genes to express traits they considered to simulate the appearance of dire wolves--I specifically say simulate because in at least one case (the white coat), they took a gene from regular ass-dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) rather than replicating the original dire wolf coat.

I'm guessing, but there's probably more than 14 genes that changed since these two species diverged almost 6 million years ago. These wolves are almost certainly much, much closer to Canis lupus than Aenocyon dirus.

Yes, we definitely need, something like pixelfed, but with commercial model.

Why?

There's a bug where edited link posts don't propagate to Mbin, so for any other Mbinners, the new link is https://apnews.com/article/idaho-police-autism-shooting-teen-d9eef615233c7e95d4fa3ee8a627f7d2
