This is because the microscope blocks photons. OP should use a gamma camera or x-ray to see through the microscope body.

A drink company in Japan came out with a drink called 'nanchatte orenji' which looked a lot like soy sauce.

Blender is the gold standard for what a runaway success of foss looks like. I'd love to see FreeCAD get there, but they'll need significant investment to do so.

I don't know why the question was asked in the city. Go out to the forest women and ask them.

In general, people and bears don't want to hassle each other, doubly so for those in the woods. If you encounter either, you're probably going to be fine. However, bears won't stalk you, pretend to be friendly to gain your trust with the intention of harming you. Men won't go into a blind rage because hibernation season is around the corner and you're standing between them and a delicious tuna sandwich. Honestly if I'm alone in the woods I'd rather encounter an animal than a person because I was in the woods to be alone.

If you are in the woods and encounter a man or mountain lion

  • make yourself look as big as possible
  • maintain eye contact
  • demonstrate you are a threat
  • don't trust his lies

If you encounter a bear

  • avoid getting between a mother and her cubs
  • take extra precautions to bearproof your food at your campsite
  • back away slowly while facing the bear (without maintaining eye contact)
  • under no circumstances should you fight a bear

In Android, holding power and selecting "lockdown" locks out access until your pin is entered. However, if you're at a protest or something where illegal arrests are likely, turn your phone 100% off.

It's useful when you're done with a post or comment, but I don't see how to do it in Jerboa or in Lemmy general. Is this possible? If not, is there energy behind this feature?

Some version of this concept has floated (pun intended) around for a while. Thing is that plastics are an energy dense "food source" and once something evolves a way to metabolize it they'll have a huge advantage.

It's like how glyphosate tolerance has appeared in weed plants already. Evolution is always looking for an angle.

...now? I feel like climate has been the "old reliable" culture war issue when climate denialists need to generate buzz on a slow news day going back at least 20 years.

No, you might be a primitivist, feudalist, syndicalist, or any of many other ways of organizing society. What you adopt will depend on your values and how you perceive the relationship between people and capital. Ultimately the labels are helpful up to a point, because the application of theory, or praxis, will manifest in ways to meet the need of your time.

Just to get ahead of it, capitalist can mean both one who supports capitalism as a way to organize society, and one who owns capital. From context it's clear we mean the former definition.

i want to close the app and go on with my day

That's exactly the "problem" being portrayed here, the expected/ideal mode of interaction with social media is compulsive and perpetual. It's the best way to maximize advertisement exposure. I'm not opposed to the slot machine of content, but it's absolutely reasonable to expect users to want to go on with their day.

Researching plant genomes! Honestly, it's a lot of fun.

I have one of these, and the analog stick started to get some drift. NBD, I thought, I'll just pick up a new stick and swap it out.

Turns out, I'm rubbish at desoldering. So now I have a pile of parts until I get up the courage to try again.
