They should have made it opt-in instead of opt-out IMHO. You can still get the old subscription when you renew, but you have to jump through a couple of hoops. If you do nothing you just get "upgraded" for no reason.
What are you trying to say? Look at this weird unknown YouTuber who talks nonsense and has 100 views? OK I have seen him, I think 100 views it too much views in my opinion.
Agreed, I'm going to have to see the numbers on that. I don't believe the gravitational attraction of an ice sheet on land would have the effect he's talking about. It's a measurable effect for sure, but the rise from the extra water, land rebound and warming is a much much bigger effect.
He's trying to convince the Dutch not to worry about Greenland? Wtf for? It's one planet my dude, if Greenland melts other places are going to melt as well. Who cares what ice contributes the most? Lot of good that's going to do when your house is below water.
We should be worried about climate change and we should be acting to counteract it. Going around with these nonsense theories doesn't help one bit, even if they are correct which I highly doubt. It just confuses the story, where we require clarity.
Checked other sources: the effect he is talking about causes a local rise of only 1 to 2cm max and isn't even measurable out to 1000km. So 30 meters over 2000km is pure bullshit.
Reverse parked it 2cm too far to the left causing a corner protector to scrape along the side with a very loud screech. Everyone looked because of the noise and I still feel bad to this day. To be fair the corner protector did the job, so in the end not a problem.
I have had people who I know from other platforms come across me on Lemmy. Just got a DM the other day saying "Found you", we had a good laugh about it since we didn't know we both used Lemmy. However IRL I don't think anyone I know is nerd enough to be on Lemmy.
I tried to print one of these things once, with the layer lines perpendicular to the central axis. So just a tube standing straight up on the print bed. It didn't work at all. The shop vac was inserted in one end and the other end into the machine. However this meant the interface in between was completely unsupported. With the hose hanging on one end, as soon as I moved the machine around in use, the thing snapped off across a layer line. I tried a couple more times with thicker walls, higher temps and more infill, but the layer to layer bond just wasn't strong enough. I tried ABS and PETG, the PETG held up best but still broke within a couple of hours of use.
So I ended up ordering an injection molded part, probably glass reinforced nylon or something like that and have been using that ever since. Still bugs me, because it seemed like a perfect time for the 3D printer to shine.
I have had to teach a subject in school. Part of my education was a minor where I had to teach a class for a trimester.
I had to prepare materials (presentations, homework assignments, study material, quizzes and the exam), teach the class, answer student questions in person/mail/school system etc. There was a professor that helped me, was always present and officially taught the class otherwise the students grade wouldn't count. But as it was my assignment the prof was very hands off and was there only as a fallback if I fucked up and to evaluate my performance. We got along pretty well and she gave me an excellent grade in the end.
The class I taught was uni level cryptography, basically a math class. The math would get pretty advanced and a lot of the problems students had to solve required a long working out. There usually wasn't an answer to the problems, the working out was the answer. The exam was also pretty though, but almost all of the students got a good grade and nobody failed.
Feedback from students was that I was pretty strict, but they learned quickly and had a good time during the class. Remember these were 2nd year uni students, so discipline wasn't an issue, everyone was there to learn and wanted to be there. Most of them were maths nerds themselves and loved the subject, which helps a lot. Ages of the students ranged 18-25. So my teaching was focused on the subject matter and not managing kids.
Would I teach again? I don't think so. It was a good experience to have, but I can see it get boring very quickly. Imagine teaching the same class trimester after trimester, year after year. Sure some new stuff comes along every now and then, but even in the more advanced classes you teach the basics, not the new stuff. As I enjoy the subject more than the interaction with the students, I don't think I could do it for long.
AKSHUALLY comparing shadows across the Earth is a great way to prove it is in fact an oblate spheroid. The Greek mathematician Eratosthenes used shadows to calculate the size of the Earth over 2000 years ago and he got pretty damn close. He didn't need to prove the Earth was round, because people weren't idiots like some are these days.
I have about 100 hours in Hammerwatch, 200 hours in Heroes of Hammerwatch (mostly coop), but only 20 hours in Hammerwatch 2 (big miss for me). So for Heroes of Hammerwatch 2 I played the demo and was sold right away, played the demo again in coop and it was awesome as well.
If you want to sell your product/service in the EU, you comply with EU laws and if you don't comply you pay the fines. And if you continue to not comply your product/service will be banned and you will not be able to sell it legally anymore. And in case of a webservice like Facebook the site can get blocked real fast.
Thanks for letting us know! Happy it worked out
