Amazed to see this. New old house. Used oven for first time. Some sort of stench and black gunk dripping from top heat shield. Gas stove. Investigate. Pull out pieces of a gun. Glock or something. Previous owner stops by for mail (unusual situation). I had over the melted pieces, "you forget something in the oven?" "Oh shit. No problem, I can fix it." "uh.. Okaaaaay... "

As a person who ages ago created and single letter (before the @) email address thinking myself clever and efficient... I'm amazed and distressed how many forms have insisted that my email address is invalid.

And yet their makeup is impeccable. Article says "young people", but curiously only cute women in the pictures.

"It looks cute, and yet, you don't lose that feeling of sexiness." Ah, the all important feeling of sexiness in the office that women strive for.

"In the non-violent condition, however, participants with higher scores in Machiavellianism had a higher increase in cortisol" - linked study

So people trying to be manipulative bastards in 'nice' games increase thier stress? Interesting.

Unfortunately the source study appears to be paywall and not yet on sci-hub, so don't know what specific games they used. As to how they define Machiavellianism, I assume something toke this:

"In the field of personality psychology, Machiavellianism is a personality trait characterized by interpersonal manipulation, indifference to morality, lack of empathy, and a strategic focus on self-interest." - Wikipedia

AppStream makes machine-readable software metadata easily accessible. It is a foundational block for modern Linux software centers, offering a seamless way to retrieve information about available software, no matter the repository it is contained in. It can provide data about available applications as well as available firmware, drivers, fonts and other components. This project it part of freedesktop.org.

A Ukrainian general is predicting bad stuff in Russia. Fascinating. Is this news breaking, or what?

Charged cosmic rays, high-energy clusters of particles moving through space, were first described in 1912 by physicist Victor Hess. Since their discovery, they have been the topic of numerous astrophysics studies aimed at better understanding their origin, acceleration and propagation through space, using satellite data or other experimental methods.

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) collaboration, a large research group analyzing data collected by a large magnetic spectrometer in space, recently gathered new insight about the properties and composition of specific types of cosmic rays. In a new paper, published in Physical Review Letters (PRL), they specifically unveiled the composition of primary cosmic-ray carbon, neon, and magnesium, along with the composition and properties of cosmic-ray sulfur.

Fedilab handles mastodon, pixelfed and peertube in one app. It's the most multifunctional app I know of. Pretty impressive, but it doesn't do lemmy/kbin, or even misskey.
