  • Every day, over and over and over... I have to keep actual glass cleaner in my car and spray the windshield occasionally—like at stop lights by sticking my arm out the window—because not even the "bug remover" windshield washer fluid works well enough. You need something strong like ammonia to loosen all the protein.

    Note: I don't live in a city.

  • All the successful theories were developed from experimental results. From real data.

    This is not really true. Lots of very well tested theories in physics came from math first, and then experimentation upheld them.

    Einstein developed general relativity based on mathematical principles (Riemannian geometry and the equivalence principle) with little direct experimental input. And then successfully predicted the light of distant stars bendng around the sun.

    Paul Dirac formulated a relativistic equation for the electron. The math naturally predicted the existence of a positron which was discovered years later.

    Peter Higgs and others proposed the Higgs field to explain why particles have mass within the Standard Model, in 1964. It wasn't detected in experiments until 2012.

    Maxwell’s unification of electricity and magnetism led to the prediction of electromagnetic waves. 20 years later Hertz detected them.

    Just months after Einstein published general relativity, Karl Schwarzschild found a solution predicting black holes. With no data at all! Sure enough, we've observed them and their effects many times.

    Mathematics often leads the way in physics.

    I guess Lemmy has finally made it! It's popular enough to attract catfishers.

    Feature request to replace user names having giant blue letters with the corresponding normal letters. More and more people are doing it, and it's annoying.

    "You have hidden all the posts on page N". I get this a lot when scrolling, but it's definitely not true.

    When peeking the thumbnail from a non-image post, allow the user to hover and release their finger on a button to temporarily pin the image as if they had tapped an image post.

    There is no option to edit posts which are a month old, but the website still lets me edit them.

    Sync for Lemmy is killer diller!
