“In Africa”

Couldst thou perhaps be a hair more specific

Hey, that’s cool! This seems promising for enabling people dealing with chronic pain to have more options for ways to control pain without needing to potentially compromise mental function when they need it. Now to scroll through the comment section to see everyone’s completely reasonable and measured takes.

“Aww, cute dog!” reads caption “Oh.”

My family used to have the view that keeping cats indoors was cruel until one of our indoor/outdoor cats came back after being attacked by some unknown animal in what seemed like a safe suburban area. He was fully vaccinated and recovered mostly without incident, but he had to have a surgery and spend extensive time in the Cone of Shame with limited movement so he could recover.

And once we started keeping the cats indoors? It was unbelievable how much nature outside recovered. It was more than just songbirds everywhere (though we did have plenty of those). We saw hawks and owls. Woodchucks and deer would wander in (yards weren’t really fenced at this area… it was more on the rural side of suburban). Foxes and rabbits and wild turkeys. I once saw pawprints in the snow that I think were from a stoat. We could not believe how visible a difference just keeping the cats inside made.

And honestly, the cats didn’t really miss being outside after a week or so adjustment period. Once, a year or so in, Mom accidentally left the door to the outside open, and one of our cats just got this resigned look like “oh, I guess I have to go patrol the area, huh.”

Now, this was a two-story house with like five bedrooms and a basement, so it was more territory than, say, an apartment, which can make a difference. We also had two cats to keep each other company, so the house being empty during the work/school day wasn’t as big a deal. Space concerns are a bit tougher to address (though I will recommend catification, catios, and leash training for cats to do supervised outdoor walks), but if the concern is a cat getting lonely during the work day, then I’m just saying that two cats are not appreciably harder to take care of than one and after the introduction period they can do wonders for keeping each other entertained.

Cats are anarcho-communist

I knew that cats doing this were bringing back excess food for the colony (in their point of view, anyway) but this is the funniest way I have ever seen someone put it and I’m stealing it.

1. Light in a vacuum does not have rest mass, because there is no frame of reference where you can measure light at rest, because light famously always moves at the speed of light in any reference frame. You could define mass as including the kinetic energy, and physicists did at one point define mass that way, but it led to less intuition and more complicated math and definitions, so they dropped it to only really consider rest mass. (Good video on it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiBsfvW5AWY)
2. What exactly do you mean by the velocity of a black hole? Do you mean the velocity it’s moving through space with respect to an observer? Is this about how the universe can expand at a speed that’s calculated to be above the speed of light?
3. Once it’s in a black hole, it’s not coming out.

This is a long playlist but I recommend watching the videos that jump out at you: FloatHeadPhysics is really good at helping explain relativity and quantum mechanics without complicated math and building intuition. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLawLaqps30oAcpVd4r-wj8hGodzpPRYTT

Fair!

It’s cool; that is what I see in my client (Voyager), and you did good setting it up. I was just making a more general comment about how I wish the software offered a clearer way to show multiple images in a post that doesn’t require people to explicitly indicate you have to click through to see more photos. Sometimes people forget, and it’s easy to miss extra photos when scrolling all as a result, in my experience.

I wish Lemmy/Piefed would update to support photo sets like Reddit has, but clicking through was totally worth it. What a cutie!

Isn’t cold water shock even more of a risk in warmer temperatures, too, because UK inland water can stay pretty chilly even in warm temperatures? I read about that here. Given recent record levels of heat…
