What exactly did you not like? Using it now and it's come a huge way in just a few weeks. Of all the apps I've tried it had the most compact and quick interface.

I feel people had a lot of loading issues when instances were going down left and right which gave Jerboa an unfair reputation through no fault of its own.

Or because they liked the colours for aesthetic reasons haha.

Also choosing a cloth colour has nothing to do with thermal mass and everything to do with absorbtivity/emissivity/reflectivity aka material properties affecting radiative heat transfer.

In any case, shirt colour has a small effect on temperature, maybe a 5°C (at most) difference between white and black, according to some studies. So unless you're really chasing the most optimal clothing, it's best to just wear what makes you happy.

There's an aftermath link in the op. Ship being towed by a tug while listing heavily to its port. The ship is definitely out of service if it can't move under its own power.

That's kind of an unusual thing to be concerned about. Why?

"Laurent Rossi is the finest example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect, that of an incapable leader who thinks he can overcome his incompetence by his arrogance and his lack of humanity towards his troops.

"[Rossi] thought he had understood everything from the start, when he was totally mistaken."

Brutal, and from the looks of it, totally true.

A good suggestion for a registration question: "Explain the meaning behind your username", which I've already seen on a few instances. Not only is this one tough for a botter to program a response too, but it'll do a good job of filtering the name_1234 style of botting that we saw a lot on the old site. Any human should be able to answer easily, bots not so much.

You'll see content from any community that a member of your instance is subscribed to. So on very small instances that haven't yet "discovered" other communities, the All page will be sparse.

That whole race was crazy start to finish. Bottas bowling, lights out only for LH, Verstappen fighting for position with half a car, Hamilton campaigning up the field, Alonso defending like a madman to secure Ocon's win. So many good moments!

The best way to enjoy this season is to pretend Verstappen doesn't exist and treat 2nd place like 1st. By that metric it's a banging season!

Historically, fuel regulations have been wildly effective at controlling and reducing vehicle emissions. Improving and tightening those standards is another good step forward for our climate and air quality.
