I think it's more survivorship bias. Agressive big dogs are going to be targetted and put down more often, since they're more of a physical threat. Small dogs likely get passed over more often.

Also, well-behaved small dogs are maybe much more common than thought to be, but go unnoticed since they're quiet.

Yes, just like my wallet and some of a frenchman's teeth.

So these are both supposed to be from a Parisian's perspective i think?

So the first one about not resisting pickpockets was during the Paris Olympics, but that wasn't a general sentiment by the french at all, that was the Paris Police communicating that, and their specific reason was to keep cases of stabbings down since pickpockets often carry knives. That was not a 'think of the pickpocket's family' scenario.

The second is a Frenchman or Perisian visiting the US and not tipping i think. Eh, this is an actual sentiment for - frankly even many Americans. Not great, but neither is the tipping culture itself.

Imagine your worst manager looking over your shoulder right when you were looking at this. If you'd imagine you'd be in trouble, then the content is 'Not Safe For Work'. It's pretty straightforward. This content would get me fired if I got caught looking at it, so it deserves an NSFW tag.

Somewhat funny that he ended up known as just Al-Khwarizmi. My understanding is that that portion of his title just means 'from Khwarizmi' or 'of Khwarizmi'.

So how we know him is basically "that guy from Khwarazm"

It doesn't produce them. It simply emits them. The whole body produces them as a collective effort.

What's the processing machine for? What do you process on it?

Ah yes, wind chimes. That was my first thought.

That has less to do with the switch 2 and its price, and more about what 'fuck Nintendo' has always been about: Nintendo constantly being litigious, overpriced, and a totally locked-down ecosystem. Ultimately, that's why folks rag on nintendo. If chode didn't sue every game spinoff out of existence, attempt to shut down tournaments not sponsored by them, and all the other variety of scandals they've been involved, there'd be less ragging on them in general.

Car accidents. All collision types become more likely as speed increases, and injuries increase with that - not chance of injury, total injuries. Bench seats were abandoned for bucket seats because bench seats are objectively more deadly when analyzing car crashes.

You need to limit the speed a vehicle can go if you're going to make unsafe designs acceptable again, otherwise you're just gambling with lives for fun cabin interiors.

Banned over fish joke (lemmy.sdf.org)

UPDATE: The Unbans are showing up on modlog now.:

unban log screenshot

~~I have traded the month-long ban in the many communities for a 6-day ban in vegan@lemmy.dbzero.com, which is a more reasonable ban~~. this ban has also been lifted now. I appreciate the cooperation from the mod over this misunderstanding.


So it seems i've gotten a month-long ban in..... over 30 communities across lemmy.dbzer0.com, sopuli.xyz, lemmy.ca, programming.dev, and several others, for this comment here.

Screen cap of comment for posterity:

It's directly replying to a comment saying they can't imagine why anyone thought otherwise about fish feeling pain, which is reasonable. You might notice the quotation marks, because it's satirizing people's mental gymnastics about fishes' pain perception. It was meant in jest, exclusively.

It seems likely that a single mod took this joke wrong and chose to ban me on every community they have control over.

This is a question regarding atomic and quantum physics, and any academic input would be appreciated. I am wanting some input on what level of trust I should put into this "Quicycle" group. It's a think tank comprised of supposed Doctors from CERN and research groups, and states their names. alot of their stuff raises red flags for me, though.

To preface, I was working on understanding how exactly, in 3d space, electron orbitals affect the magnetic field of their atoms. I'm wanting to better understand why atoms like Iron are more magnetic than others. I am not heavily plugged into the physics community, though - I'm mostly just learning out of personal curiosity.

I stumbled upon this group's periodic table of atomic orbitals, and it seems accurate on its face to a layman like myself. However, I start trying to research some of the terms and they're proposing things I've never heard of like pd-hybridization (where the p and d electron orbitals merge(?) to produce a hybrid orbital(?)).

I decided to look over their site with more rigor and I'm seeing things like Vivian Robinson: The Common Sense Universe (talking about 'common sense' when talking about quantum and "sub-quantum" mechanics seems really screwy) and M.A.R.T. (yet another theory of everything attempt) and I get a sinking feeling that nothing in this website is trustworthy for learning more in-depth physics.

Does any of this stuff look right to any Lemmy physicists?
