Chrome in Android, how can I find a tab of links that were removed from my "archives"?

I'm kinda devastated, I'd been keeping a list of places my wife and I have been wanting to eat at across the world. I know a bunch of tabs with Google searches isn't a great way to keep a list, but it was what I was doing.

They were moved into "archived tabs" whenever that became a thing, and now I've just learned there was a change that defaulted archived tabs into being removed after so many days of inactivity.

I don't know when this went into effect, and I don't know how I'd search my history to find a bunch of closed Google searches, but if anyone has any ideas when this change went into effect so I could narrow my search, or any ideas on how to bring back dead groups of tabs, I could really use some assistance. Until then I'm just going to scroll through my history... Which feels so futile.

Edit to add: I had even named the tab group, I searched in the history for the tab group name and was unsuccessful.

Why can't we (states) ignore clock changes without the federal government? The federal government doesn't seem to care about standing laws.

19 states have "no more changing the clocks" laws passed, but aren't allowed to do so without approval of the federal government?

It's pretty obvious you can just do what you want these days, consequences are trivial to non-existent, so why don't we just not change our clocks? (or change them and not change them back, whatever floats your boat)

What kind of car was I following?

Not the Tesla, the car in front of it, it's got a very unique tail light array, I'm thinking it's one of the new smaller ev producers, but maybe it's something Japanese with a less common trim package?

Thanks for the assist, I'm quite infatuated with it's styling.

I believe the badge was red, and there are 5 letters beneath it (so not Jaguar)

Question: how do we know where (what direction, orientation, velocity) neutrinos come from?

I've seen a few articles about neutrinos recently, high energy ones, super fast ones, ones from open space, others from "sources", and my understanding of the particle is that it's very hard to detect, passes through light-years of lead without interaction, etc. don't headings and speed require multiple readings to make? How do we know the velocity of a neutrino when we can only detect them at single points?

Rubin Observatory changes biography of astronomer Vera Rubin in a push to end "DEI" efforts

""Vera Rubin offers an excellent example of what can happen when more minds participate in science," was changed to replace "more" with "many," altering the meaning from emphasizing the need for diverse perspectives to simply highlighting a high number of people."

goodoffmychest·Off My ChestbyDonjuanme

Fuck cancer. In life I've had 3 categories of jobs, 49.99% fun job terrible boss, 49.99%fun boss terrible job. 3 years ago I finally found fun boss fun job (.02%), and boss just told me he's dying.

I don't know how I got this job, sure it doesn't pay the best in the field, and you need lots of specialized training, and with that training you can go to much more prestigious work, but it pays enough. I don't know why the previous person to do it left (the commute was too much for her, but I would've moved closer if I was her). She trained me very briefly because I knew most of the ins and outs already, she told me the boss had been in and out of remission with bone cancer, but the last flair up was taken care of years ago.

It's been 7 years since he was first diagnosed, and he's had 2 replacements, they won't do a third. He doesn't want to try the experimental treatments because he'd rather enjoy the time he has.

I've worked for him for 3 years and I feel so greedy wanting to scream at him to try every avenue available. He has 3 amazing kids, a wife and in-laws who live him, he loves coming into work, he just finished renovating his forever home. And I don't want a different boss. I need more time with my mentor, my friend, the best boss I've ever had.

I just learned this morning, and it's really raw, I need to get it off my chest, I don't want to steal time from his family, but I want to take from him as much as I can. He's a genius in the field, the person he's trying to get to replace him is remarkable younger guy, but he's my age, he doesn't have the life experience that I've found myself looking to my boss for.

Fuck cancer.

Thanks off my chest. Hug your loved ones. Tell your dog they're good, scratch your cat. Enjoy the moments of extra nice weather.

"evidence for modified gravity at low acceleration from Gaia observations of wide binary stars." A potential replacement for dark matter scaling? Any physicists want to try to answer some questions?

My understanding is the researcher took Gaia probe information and looked at "wide binary stars" (not sure what defines wide, but there must be a ton of them), within 650 light years of earth. They found the ones that accelerate the least (relative to each other? Rotationally?) are, and this is where I get confused, moving more efficiently around each other than their faster counterparts?

This discrepancy is postulated to be due observations of the stars acting in different physics models based how much they're accelerating relative to each other?

If this is correct (and the researcher is very transparent with their methods and using public data) would this up-end our models as much as I think it would? There's probably a lot of things interacting with other things at very low relative acceptable throughout the universe. Or is this just highlighting a truth we already knew, that there's a difference between the quantum and relative universes that we're now able to roughly put a scale to?

I've added to my questions since lemmy has been down, what in the world does this paragraph mean? "Also, unlike other studies Chae calibrated the occurrence rate of hidden nested inner binaries at a benchmark acceleration."

While doing some you tubing about this (thanks lemmy.world down time) I discovered Sabine hossenfelder, who I think is becoming one of my favorite science communicators I recommend anyone wondering about anything science to check her out https://youtube.com/@SabineHossenfelder

Question; "1/2 comments added" how do I load the rest of the comments?

I'm entirely new to sync, I feel like this will be common knowledge, but I went to expand a comment thread, it said "1/2 comments added" and the "view more (2)" button disappeared, it loaded 1 comment, but I'd be interested to see what that other comment was.

Thanks Lemmy-syncers

More info, just updated the app and the first thread I was trying to read showed both comments, but the second thread gave the same response, I was leaning towards "it's not showing deleted by creator" except it loaded 2/2 for one of the previous 1/2 threads.

(complete) (steam) dungeon of the endless, this one's straight from steam, grab it for your library! (Uncertain how long it'll be available for, 48 hours maybe?)

Quite a fun game, and the price has never been better, I'm not sure how long it'll be free so grab it while your can. The "endless" universe games, and their spice, have never really caught on with me, but this one was very easy to pick up and play, especially with the heavy+medic+pyro team from the TF2 update.

Don't let this one go past you!

(complete) (steam) classic console gaming giveaway 3 of 3, Destroy all humans

Alright guys! I’m putting up 3 classic console games in three different threads with three different win conditions. All 3 winners will be selected around the same time Saturday, notified in thread and pm’d the key.

3rd entry condition is going to be how many "perfect" completion games do I have in my library? (Hint for constraint purposes, it's less than 50). First entry of each number has that number, duplicates don't get duplicate prizes.

Good luck everyone! Results posted in 45 hours!

(Complete) An absolute gem of a puzzle/machine building game (very much like any other zachtronics game), Opus Magnum, 36 hours to enter into the raffle.

Please comment on this thread to be eligible for this awesome game. If you're into zachtronics this is very much in line with space chem, if you have no idea what I'm talking about this game is a great intro to a 1 of a kind genre. Drawing ends Wednesday after my d&d session (10pm PST)
