Honestly, I find it pretty decent. I only wish I could see timestamps per message on the new UI

If it makes it any better, it would be a sort of small crocodile, at "only" 8 feet (2.6 meters ish ish) long.

If you put the empty side towards the top of the machine, that works first try 95% of the time. For desktops, the top of the machine is motherboard side up.

Titanfall 2 is fun! I did the singleplayer in about 6 to 7 hours.

There is the factory seconds stock, which is cheaper, but RAM, storage, Wi-Fi card, power brick and expansion cards are sold separately. https://frame.work/products/factory-seconds-framework-laptop-13-diy-edition-11th-gen-intel-core Still over your price range though.

Iirc it was the mobile browser not blocking Microsoft trackers. Lemme check

Edit: can confirm, it was not blocking MS trackers, seems to have been due to legal terms. Link: https://techcrunch.com/2022/08/05/duckduckgo-microsoft-tracking-scripts/

Paleontology nerd here. There isn't an official term for the tail spikes, but thagomizer is pretty much an unoffcial official term.

Some things I felt I should mention:

Firstly and most comically: Some sauropods swallowed rocks to aid in digestion, which are called gastroliths. While I only know of diplodocoids (think long and low sauropods) having used gastroliths, Brachiosaurus and other macronarians (tall sauropods, as seen in the picture) might have used them, although I'm not certain on that, as there is some differences in diet between diplodocoids and macronarians. If so, their vomit might have been even more dangerous, although the gastroliths are stored in their own organ iirc. (Just looked it up, there is gastroliths found that probably came from Cedarosaurus, which is a macronarian that was pretty closely related to Brachiosaurus, link: https://fr.copernicus.org/articles/18/1/2015/fr-18-1-2015.pdf)

Secondly and most nitpicky: The picture shows fairly large dromaeosaurs, which don't have a record of existing in the Late Jurassic when Brachiosaurus existed. Now, the fossil record is very incomplete, with one estimate putting the known number of Tyrannosaurus rex specimens at about one billionth of the amount that lived over the 3 million years that species was present. But there are no dromaeosaurs that I know of from the Late Jurassic, let alone the Morrison Formation where Brachiosaurus is found, which is one of the best fossil sites for dinosaurs. It isn't impossible, the split between bird and dromaeosaurs was before the Late Jurassic, but it is highly unlikely, especially in the Morrison, as there were a bunch of predators that would have competed with a large dromaeosaur. Again, this last one is very nitpick-y. Still a funny image though

Another app is LibreTube, although it uses piped, which I kinda dislike as it means (depending on the instance you connect to) videos load slower and the subscriptions don't all get refreshed.

I know there is a toggle for disabling piped, but the subscription issue doesn't seem to get affected.

Wait, lemmy allows editing of titles?

Not all fish can breath underwater interestingly enough, meaning if they can't reach air they will drown. The first example that comes to mind are lungfish, but there are others, such as arapima. I think bettas also are obligate air breathers, but I might be misremembering.

Technically Lepidodendron wasn't a tree, it was a fern. A fern that had bark and grew to 100 feet tall, but a fern nonetheless.
