Mine told me that I should be a plumber. I took it after graduating college with a degree in Data Science. I kind of wish I did the plumbing thing considering the money they rake in. Problem is that I don’t like crawling in attics and under houses.

I see it as a hot tub with a bar top. Kinda cool for hanging out.

It didn’t exist, so I went ahead and created it then posted a medical question. Figured that I’d let this community know in case someone can be of assistance.

We have plenty of nuclear fuel and waste is a drop in an ocean compared to that of fossil fuels.

Venus has similar gravity to Earth. It is just about the same size and density. The atmospheric gasses can be turned into many different kinds of compounds provided enough energy and you could theoretically mine ore from the surface. It is much closer to Earth than mars as well. We recently detected through spectroscopy gasses in the atmosphere that are associated with the byproduct of life, so scientifically, it makes sense to have a science facility above the atmosphere to experiment further. The reality is that it’s more technically achievable to send a facility in orbit around another planet than to build a ground facility. Far less fuel needed. The gases in Venus’s atmosphere might also be able to be used as fuel.

Ketchup and MSG are the secret ingredients in my marinara sauce. I go as far as to use proper other ingredients likes San Marzano tomatoes, fresh basil, and garlic, but I am fairly certain that my special additions to the recipe improve it. I’ve been told never to utter this to an Italian mother.

Confirming that I am able to browse using my lemmy.world account, but upvotes keep failing intermittently and posting says I’m logged out after I login. Wonder if the hackers changed something on their way out.

Seems to work if I clear cache before commenting.

Agreed. This is clickbait. They want people to think that they kicked off the fat passengers.

If it were in the center, everyone would need to walk around it. This is more efficient for the foot traffic.

We put hamster dance on all the computer lab computers and cranked up the volume to max then locked the door from the inside using a trick, so that they would need to get the facilities people to get in. It was really dumb.

I know that I have direct messages from seeing them in the browser and other test apps, but they don’t appear to show up in the Memmy inbox. Wasn’t sure if those was in the roadmap, so raising the issue. Keep up the great work!

The devs hold extreme political views. They are on board with the Tiananmen Square massacre being necessary and shit like that. Like this post says though, there are plenty of instances that are totally run by normal people. Additionally, the Lemmy server code is open source, so that helps to ensure that it isn’t doing anything nefarious behind-the-scenes.

You are presuming that it is a UTI and and coding it wrong for insurance purposes. Do a visit for something more generalized that is covered like abdominal pain and doctor will know how to code it properly for insurance.

  • The number disappears and reappears when voting. This is a bad feel. Can you make it just change the number instantly, even if there is still potentially some behind-the-scenes server processing going on? Also, the vote button itself just slightly changes the arrow color, it would be easier to see and more satisfying if it create a colored-in box around the arrow.
  • Posts with hundreds of comments fail to load the comments. For example, see https://lemmy.world/post/373743. The comments won’t load on that post. Also, when you click into a post, please load the comments instead of making the user have to hit the comments button to load them. I consider a post to be as much about the comments as the post. Many times, I read the comments first.
  • The post cards have rounded edges and gaps between each post, which is a bit distracting. It would be better on my eyes if the user can turn off the rounded card theme and have that screen real-estate used to show more of the post and pictures. All in need to know when the next post has started is a very thin line.
  • Sometimes, the subscribe button doesn’t work.
  • Sometimes, the All feed for an account won’t load and I have to first click on the server itself instead of the All option in order to fix this.
  • Even though the project is young, opening up the Repo and Issue/Enhancement trackers is ideal. This will have the residual benefit of having others contribute potential code suggestions / merge requests in order to make the app get to a production-ready state faster.

Keep up the good work!

This app is amazing! Tons of the features that I was interested in that other apps are working on are already in yours.

I have some UI feedback, but want to log it to someplace meaningful. I didn’t see it in the About section, but can you add your GitHub link for this project, so bugs and feature requests can be added there? Also, do you have a Matrix or other chat room like Mlem does? I think that would be valuable as well to discuss enhancements, announcements, etc.

Keep up the great work!

My current dove kit

My current dive kit:

  • XDEEP Ghost Deluxe with both back cargo pockets (one for backup mask, other for SMB+line)
  • Apeks XTX50 with DIN DST and yoke converter for travel (at the moment, I’m diving with pretty standard length hoses, but may move to long hose in the future) I use a bungee necklace for my octo, so take a bit of a hybrid approach.
  • Shearwater Perdix with AI sensor
  • I have an old Oceanic watch dove computer as a backup
  • Cressi Digi 2 as an in-line backup to my dive computer as well. I’m not afraid to have my pressure be digital. If that ever breaks, then I may change my mind. It’s nice to have the digital depth as well in case my dive computer ever malfunctions.
  • Backup ScubaPro compass
  • Fins are not pictured, but currently using Folding Fins. I really like them except the way that the boot holder clips into the base feel like a bit of a point of failure. Have been exploring travel fins, but they all appear to be positively buoyant, which I’m not sure about.
  • My masks are both Hollis M-1. Highly recommended for comfort and visibility.
  • Sola Wrist Light
  • DiveRite CX2 as my backup light
  • I carry standard line scissors and a Zeagle Line Cutter
  • Camera is not pictured, but is a DJI Action 2 in a waterproof case with a handle. If I use the double case, it will last two hour-long dives. If I use the single case, it’s about 1.5 dives. It really varies though based upon resolution and whether I keep it on the whole time.
  • I have an XDeep bolt snap on my primary second stage reg and the one with the larger hoop on my Digi 2 pressure gauge. The octo uses the bungee bolt snap system in case I want to clip it off instead of using the necklace. I’m doing PADI Rescue Diver soon and they don’t teach using a necklace, so I’m forced to do it their way for that course, then will go back to necklace.
  • Wetsuit is 3 mil Henderson
  • ScubaPro booties, hood, and gloves
  • I found that a roll-up tool bag works nice for a save-a-dive kit.
  • Additionally, I alway pack some o-ring lube because I hate having a hissing connection with the yoke.

Thoughts?
