we conservatively estimate 20 × 10^15 (20 quadrillion) ants on Earth, with a total biomass of 12 megatons of dry carbon. This exceeds the combined biomass of wild birds and mammals and equals 20% of human biomass. – source
If there’s a lot of something, we mammals are going to learn how to eat it.
I was born at the north end of a valley, went to collage in the middle of the valley (maybe 2/3rds down), and then settled down at south end of the valley. About 100mi / 160km. Where I live now is home, my spawn point hasn’t been my home in over half my life.
Though I’ve lived for months at a time in a few more distant cities, all in the US.
I immediately wanted to photoshop a screwdriver into one of its paws but I can’t get that done in a work break.
I had a weird CD/Cassette boombox in HS. The CD player could be pulled out and had its own battery compartment so it could be a portable CD player. The CD player took 6 AA batteries and had no skip protection.
We’re being shunned by the galaxy.
Jumping spiders are some of the cutest animals.
Well, its apparently borked and I didn’t realize it. I’ve never gotten an IP ban but I also wasn’t using it a ton - mostly just for when I’d search for instructions on something an a YT vid was my only option.
I mainly use Nebula for watching videos. And the handful of creators I follow who are strictly youtube, get slurped up by ytdlp via Pinchflat
No, it doesn’t seem to be. That’s ashame.
I host a number of alternate frontends. Alexandrite for Lemmy, Redlib for Reddit, Invidious for Youtube. And then I have the Privacy Redirect extension make any links to Reddit or Youtube go to my local.
Didn’t color inside the lines.
Yeah… I switched sides and became an engineer…
The version my team invented was called “balloon ball” and the balloon had to touch a desk, wall, or cubical before it could be hit by a person again. But the important bit is that the balloon wasn’t entirely filled with air, it was partially filled with the propellant from a duster can. That made the “ball’s” path unpredictable.
There was also “balloon ball-ducken” in which there was a 2nd balloon inside the first balloon (and a sometimes a paperclip in the 2nd), but that sport was never quite ready for primetime.
Post your memes when the tomato timer goes off and everything is above board… or so I tell myself.
We always have at least one thing on our counter that would otherwise be thrown into recycling, but it was rinsed and kept because it’ll make a good grease receptacle.
Snot Flickerman was right, it’s dd. It was in the docs I linked to show the commands. It runs on anything with storage devices and an operating system. I mainly use it on Windows servers running on AWS.
It surprises me how many system utilities I use that are older than I am. I am currently initializing a disk on a cloud server with an application that was written when Ford was the US president.
I think they mean, why are AI companies plagiarizing the Greendale flag? AI Pluribus Anus
Microsoft did the June layoffs we knew were coming since January and pinned it on “AI cost savings” so that doing so would raise their stock price instead of lower it.
Look at cute little Ibuprofin!
Well put.
I’d been on reddit since the Digg migration and deleted my account after the blackout, but I had been enjoying the place less and less (and was interacting less and less) for years before.
