SDF Chatter

One of my long time favorites that's inexplicably never gotten the attention I think it deserves.

Every time my brain is telling me it will last forever, even though it will really only be a few hours. But they feel like an eternity. Don't really have anyone to talk to about it (My therapist on Monday, but it's always hard to get going on those convos). No need for sympathy, buy ill take some positive encouragement if anyone has any to spare.

As the title says. Don't miss out on free polychromes!

What's everyone eating today?

This relativistic, time-travel spacetime is everywhere metrically flat, excepting a conical singularity. Observers following timelike geodesics can eventually encounter their past selves, aging in the opposite time sense. The spacetime is not time orientable.

“A conical singularity is unlike more familiar curvature singularities,” said Norton. “No matter how close you come to the singularity in this spacetime, the spacetime geometry remains flat and regular with no indication locally of something pathological.”

A spaceship, traveling in a well-behaved region of spacetime, might then encounter this singularity and find its timelike geodesic to be deflected into its past. It would then return to the earlier, well-behaved region of spacetime and the spaceship occupants would encounter their past selves aging in the opposite time sense.

The author anticipates this model being a useful tool for teaching technical aspects of relativity theory.

“The full geometry of this spacetime model can be recovered using rather simple methods,” said Norton. “In addition to seeing the nature of the conical singularity, the analysis requires that students treat spacetime coordinates with extreme care, since they do not have their usual default physical meanings.”

Pokémon Go is having a Vanillite Community Day event on April 27 from 2-5 p.m. in your local time.

As expected with a Community Day event, Vanillite will spawn in huge numbers with a high chance for it to appear shiny. There are also several other bonuses and perks, which we’ve list out below.

How do I catch a shiny Vanillite in Pokémon Go?

As per old research by the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback Machine), Shiny rates on Community Days are about 1 in 24, which means that if you keep playing throughout the three-hour window, you should find quite a few shiny Pokémon.

If you’re short on time or Poké Balls, you can pop an Incense, then quickly tap each Vanillite to check for shiny ones, running from any that aren’t shiny. Notably, any Vanillite you’ve already tapped will face where your player is standing, so that should help identify which ones you may have already checked.

What Community Day move does Vanillite’s evolution learn?

If you evolve Vanillish into Vanilluxe starting on April 27 at 2 p.m. until May 4 at 10 p.m. in your local time, it will learn the charged move Avalanche.

If you miss out on evolving it during this period, you will likely be able to evolve it during a Community Day weekend event in December to get Avalanche. If you don’t want to wait, you can use an Elite TM to get the move.

How does Vanilluxe do in the meta?

Unfortunately, Vanilluxe and its pre-evolutions have no space in any of the high-intensity Pokémon Go content, whether it’s PvE (raids and gyms) or PvP. I don’t recommend investing Stardust into it unless you just really like this Pokémon — in which case, let them (you) eat ice cream.

How do I make the most of Vanillite Community Day?

The following bonuses will be active during Vanillite Community Day:

Triple XP for catching PokémonDoubled candy for catching PokémonDoubled chance for level 31+ trainers to get XL candy from catching PokémonIncense lasts three hoursLure Modules lasts three hoursVanillite special photobombs when taking snapshotsOne additional special tradeStardust cost halved for trading

That said, you should definitely pop a Lucky Egg and an Incense and try to nab some ice cream.

If you can Mega Evolve Glalie or Abomasnow, you’ll score additional Vanillite Candy per catch.

There will also be “Community Day Continued” Timed Research until May 4 that will reward more Vanillite, including ones with special themed backgrounds. This research will keep the increased shiny rate for Vanillite, even after the three-hour event is over, so make sure you complete them for extra chances to get a shiny.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Post a test image to my community, !altmedia@altmedia.house
2. Go to homepage, image is not expandable in-page and thumbnail doesn't show up.

Thumbnail works for articles, just not images. So doesn't appear to be an issue for post-rs. Clicking the image leads you to a new page which is just the image, instead of expanding in the page, as I would expect.

Not sure if this is an issue with lemmy-ui or lemmy itself. Probably the ui right? I look in the server journal and there aren't any errors.

I wanna shoop, baby.

These are some tostadas I made with ground beef

First I smother sour cream on the tostadas

Here they are with ground beef and cotija cheese

Then I top them with some cabbage mix

For the cabbage I basically get a bowl and pour some white vinegar, chop some onion and jalapeño or serrano and squeeze some lemon juice and let it sit a bit to flavor the vinegar.

Then I shred some cabbage and toss in some tomato, salt pepper and oregano and mix it all around and put it on the tostadas.
Then if we have some avocados we toss some on top and pour valentina or tapatio
