Oh, a genet !! They live in the forests of Mayotte, I've seen exactly one live before, she was crossing a road in town, around dusk. It's weird because she looked so much like a cat (same overall size), but thinner and longer, and her walk was super straight, like felines do when they're approaching prey and trying to stay low, you know. You could have mistaken her for a cat on a picture... but the way she moved was a total callout.
I have a cat now, very long and thin also, whom I affectionately call "little genet". Heheh

Always good to stay up to date on WoT.
There’s an excellent podcast on this project if it interests you.
Vitamin B7 (Biotin)
I was looking up whether it is fat- or water soluble, because the former can be dangerous to your liver if you are taking supplements like I do. This was the only vitamin with far over 100% the recommended amount in said supplement.
Taskmaster, as we tried to figure out how big the production team was! I don't think we figured out precisely, but larger than what my husband thought, just going off of how many editors and producers were listed.
I'm super curious with what you roughly came up with! I never would have thought to look it up.
"More than four people in the room for writing tasks" is what we agreed on lmfao. So a very rough guess (he said less than, I said more than)
Might it not also depend just on how you define "the production team"? Since editing is often termed "post-production", it would be reasonable to exclude the editors from the "production team". To me that term seems more to imply the lighting, cameras, audio, PAs, and other people actually on set, rather than the task writers or editors.
Sure. But we were just going to use production team to get a general idea of how many people were task writing! More people in general probably means more task writers! It was all very slap dash guessing on our part!

- Atemrhythmisch angepasste Phonation (respiratory rhythmically adapted phonation?)
- Atemstütze (respiratory support)
The most recent one had to do with a drug I took in Disco Elysium - wanted to see if it actually exists.
Not sure about the second most recent anymore.
In university, I had learned about proto-indoeuropean and wanted to see if there's a common language ancestor for African language. Turns out there are several origin languages.
And the last two have to do with my SLP apprenticeship. Both are concepts learned about in voice therapy and the latter is also a concept learned about with singers

I'm curious how 1840 came up.
it's a number progression, 1839 came before it

I only included pages from the English Wikipedia. There was quite a few visits to Wikipedia in my native language too.
Fight Oligarchy tour, The Limits to Growth (haven't actually read it), quicksort, La Marseilles and Borzoi (is it worth it?).
I don't keep a browser history at all, but my most recent visit was to:
- Rodolph Mooshammer
- Hermaphrodite
- Cockroach
- Jinn
- Vorratsdatenspeicherung
- Native Americans in the United States
- File Allocation Table
- Load (Album)
- Sentience
- Inverted Nipple
- Weimar Republic
- Good Night White Pride(on German Wikipedia)
- First Opium War
- Finland–Russia relations
- Cambrian
I wanted to know the difference between them because I was drawing digitally and changed the color picker settings.
I was wondering why we forget stuff when walking into a different room sometimes.
I don't remember—but I know the compose key is useful.
I was looking at different spins of Fedora Linux, and saw the Budgie version, which I hadn't heard of before.
Saw a post on Lemmy about recent protests in the US so I went and checked how big protests were.
It was Father's Day in some places, but not where I live, so I was curious about Father's Day dates.
My browser history clears after every session.
I believe I last visited it to read the synopsis for the 2017 film The Ritual.

And I'm pretty sure a bunch of other pages related to loops and quasigroups. I don't still have them open, though.
This thing for a DIY air filter because I saw it here yesterday or two days ago
Looks interesting, might have to try it.
ADX Florence, thanks to an earlier post about TSA ruling back their mandate that people take off their shoes at airport security control. Now I have nightmares.
Wait, how do you go from TSA policy on shoes to a supermax prison in Colorado?
Shoe bomber is the answer
If you were able to see what IP addresses had visited a Wikipedia page, would you be able to take the lists here, assume a reasonable time period going back, and identify uniquely which addresses had visited all 5 (or more) pages listed by each commenter?
Lucky you can't, I guess?
I have in my Obsidian Daily Note a "Today's random data" and this has brings me the last five days:
Now I kind of want to have a daily Lemmy thread where we read and discuss a random Wikipedia article as a community.

Are you a palaeoclimatologist who is struggling to convince someone of something?
I don't really like this list, because it's more sorted by the last tab I closed than the last tab I visited, which is not really the same.

I just checked out the article about the active volcano in Réunion Island, named Le Piton de la Fournaise. That's because I am staying there this month and hoping to catch some lava (not with my hands, duh. I will use a bucket).
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piton_de_la_Fournaise
From there I read about the Deccan Trapps, a large western part of the indian subcontinent that was pretty much formed by serial lava flows about 60MY ago. Then I was led to the article about LIPs (large igneous provinces), and I'm still falling down that rabbit hole as we speak. Fascinating stuff

In a fun piece of trivia, I was looking up Katee Sackhoff because I was trying to find out who did the voice for Bitch Pudding on Robot Chicken and then laughed my ass off when I realized it was the same lady who played Bo-Katan Kryze in The Mandalorian. I really need a Robot Chicken sketch with Bo-Katan going all Bitch Pudding on the Mando now. BLAM!
