  • Literally true.

    Socrates -> Plato -> Aristotle -> Alexander

    Sagan -> NDT -> ?

    Fortunately we are alive to see the original and the successor. Unfortunately NDT has become a greatest hits jukebox and hasn't produced anything new and noteworthy in a long time. I'm looking forward to the next generation. I'm definitely cautious of what the generation after that does.

  • It's not doctors that need to know. It's the insurance companies. They wrote the policies that pay doctors based on the BMI metric. Until those policy changes happen nothing will change.

    Insurance companies quietly control so much and most people don't realize it.

  • Can't wait for all the people that complained about the interview of Harris on 60 Minutes being edited to make her look less rambling to share this story.

    I can't wait because that would take forever. They probably won't even know this ever happened. So they can't post about it.

  • They aren't holding the same policies. Not one Republican has said anything like "If Harris changes her position on X I'll support her." Instead they have said things along the lines of "Donald Trump is a danger to our country. I'll vote with my enemies before I vote for this guy who has literally said the Constitution should be suspended."

  • Just a reminder that almost everyone is a curry lover. It's tasty stuff. Using it as an insult shows that one hasn't thought about what they are saying and is de facto proof that they are an idiot.

  • I started a Facebook group called New Music Only. Nothing older than a fortnight is allowed. It allows others to share brand new music they haye found and it forced me to go to YouTube and start hunting for recently uploaded music so I can supply material for the group.

  • Are instances federated or rag-tag islands?

  • Partly. Except the time different Mastodon instances were not federated much or at all. If you wanted to go follow someone on Mastodon you had to know the exact server they were on. In an environment like Reddit and Lemmy where you're there for the communities instead of the people that isn't an issue. But if you want to go follow some specific podcaster you need to know the instance because there's no guarantee that whatever instance you happen upon is going to be joined up with the one there on.

    Everyone was busy running their own servers and not trying to tie everything together. It was a thing that could be done but a thing not enough were doing.

  • I'm on Bluesky. I have seen a drama increase in followers in the last few days since Twitter let blocked people see content that were blocked from.

    It's a big blow to Twitter that people are finding someplace, anyplace , else to go.

    I had to decide if I was going to Mastodon or Bluesky. I picked Bluesky because after reading Mastodon's integration problems with itself I wanted nothing to do with it. It couldn't scale unless each instance played nice and in the years since it went live they had refused to do that and showed no signs of even moving in that direction.

  • When I lived in the Tidewater area I practically made a hobby of going to places with okay food and entertainingly bad service. We were always on a mission to find the worst food. We found it at one of the "Steak Seafood Pasta" places on the Blvd. Everything came from a microwave and the freezer section of some supply company.

  • A black sheriff?

  • This implies that they care about the homeless issue. 23 billion is a rounding error in the budget. They just don't want to fix it.

  • An average sized amount to think about.

  • I misread the headline. I thought 3D printers were evolving into crabs.

  • Well in some cases that's complicated. Dominionists will support anyone that either will bring in the end times or the destruction of Israel because that's part of their end time beliefs. They also support anyone that claims to be Christian. Supporting Israel until it is destroyed is all part of their convoluted fantasy life.

  • Caught, as in the system detected them and they didn't get in.

  • Headline is written like "previously recalled meat found its way into Trader Joe's, Aldi and more"
