Because I can already hear the anti-man-made-climate-change crowd shrieking... how do we go about determining global temperatures thousands of years ago?

Edit: Stopped being lazy and googled it: https://gizmodo.com/how-do-scientists-know-what-the-temperature-was-thousan-1714597561

It's so clear that reddit doesn't have a freakin' clue about accessibility. Not a single person on their 2000 employee staff knows anything. Seems like accessibility is just a distraction from NFTs for them.

Good god that has to be the worst way for a news website to share news.

For those who don't want to struggle, they found "Super Venuses". Large planets with carbon-dioxide rich atmospheres. One of the slides does note that it was difficult to detect the carbon dioxide so it could still not be C02 rich.

Fuck timed-slideshows for news. Give me an article.

If it makes you feel better, and you didn't already know, that didn't really happen in the books. They decided to march to war on their own with no hesitation and no conversation about it with Merry and Pip.

After reviewing the footage, Sedef realized that the bears always opted for the Anzer honey, proving they have very good taste. According to The Guardian, Anzer honey is “produced from the nectar of 90 flowers that grow only in the mountains of the Anzer plateau.”

This is pretty interesting. Considering Anzer plateau is in Turkey and this took place in Turkey, I wonder if the bear prefers the honey because it's truly better or the taste is familiar to the bear, being in Turkey and all.

Just wait until the 30s when you start feeling the hangover effects BEFORE you go to bed.

"Do a flip!"

Yup. As a maiar, this is basically what Gandalf did.

Galadriel had nothing to do with Gondolin but she was definitely in Beleriand at the time. She was around to experience the light of the trees and make her way to Middle Earth with the Noldor.

Getting roller coaster tycoon vibes here.

What's intriguing about the discovery is that these objects appear to be moving in pairs. Astronomers are currently struggling to explain them.

I always hate when science reporting does this. Astronomers are not struggling to explain them, they just don't have enough data to take a hypothesis to a theorem!

The article even tells us possible explanations:

One possibility is that these objects grew out of regions in the nebula where the density of material was insufficient to make fully fledged stars.

Another possibility is that they were made around stars and were then kicked out into interstellar space through various interactions.

"The ejection hypothesis is the favoured one at the moment," said Prof Mark McCaughrean.

Death Note was my first non-Toonami anime (dbz/voltron/etc). It's the only anime I could get my wife to check out. Truly awesome. I was 20 when I first watched it and thought Light was awesome. Watching it now 16 years later and man does it hit different. I now view Light as a complete psychopath and actively root against him. Love that my view of the characters is a complete 180 from my early years.

Legend of Vox Machina is freaking incredible and is probably my most re-watched "anime".

I’ve been on the hiring end of those conversations before, and frankly I prefer it when a candidate withdraws.

This, so much, this.

I've done many interviews on the hiring side. They're exhausting. If you're not interested in the job, please don't interview. No repercussions will be had and any (introverted) ICs that were going to be pulled into the interview will breath a sigh of relief.

Yup, but if I'm talking to someone who doesn't believe in man-made climate change and I show them the xkcd and answer their obvious follow-up question about how we know past temperature, and they STILL don't want to listen to me... well then I know I can never talk to that person again. :)

When hurricane Beryl hit us, Target was on generators with very minimal lighting and no music. It was such a great shopping experience, that I flagged down the manager and asked them to do this full time.

Of course they didn't. But man, I miss that.

Mastodon users .

I'm sure you don't care, hear it all the time, and/or have no authority to change things, but this is shitty behavior on your industry's part. Just leave people alone!

Edit: I do appreciate you sharing these insights with all of us!

Not in IT, but in software dev and I have some of the same issues dealing with support calls. I usually start off with "I'm sure you've tried some of this, so sorry in advance but can you.... ". Seems to always get them to humor me and try doing things like restarting the computer and/or software.

Also, when we run third party distribution campaigns, a large amount of people, I can look at their hotjar journey and watch in real time their mouse movements as they download a whitepaper, then we call them and they say they never downloaded it.

This shit pisses me off. If I'm forced to enter my e-mail address to download a white paper, that should not be considered consent to spam me. My company gates our whitepapers behind e-mail/personal details as well. I just put in my marketing team's personal contact info when I have to download something from our own website. Make them eat their own shit.

No, it's amazing. It also works for describing the overall theme of decay for the third age.
