Once* in a lifetime!

Solar eclipses happen every 1-3 years.

But the darkest shadow called the umbra only falls in a very tiny place, slightly bigger than a few Districts and that shadow moves in a line and those places experience total solar eclipse.

So next year there may be another solar eclipse but New York will not experience a total solar eclipse for a long time.

Also two-thirds of the earth is water so most of the time the umbra falls on the sea.

What kind of network is Lemmy looking to be?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse

This is the future of social media and you are a part of it. Currently there are only a few people but later on everyone will catch up and this will have most of the population on it.

But because of the federal nature it will be cluttered overwhelming or difficult to manage like other centralised social media.

The biggest advantage is neither the corporate nor the governments or dictatorships can censor content here. Only the community can decide what's best for them.

The future is federated, decentralised and anonymised and open to everyone.

Eventually people are gonna get tired of the toxicity of mainstream social media.

Eventually all of the internet is going to be decentralised and free from control again as it was meant to be.

More young people choosing permanent sterilization after abortion restrictions, new research shows

There are different types.

A reversible vasectomy is one where they fill something in the tubes to block the flow.

However even in this case chances of reversal is low and it costs 20X more.

An irreversible vasectomy is where they cut the tube, seal their ends and tie the severed ends together.

It's really difficult and costly to reverse and most of the time impossible. Surgery to reverse a permanent vasectomy may also lead to complications that may or may not be life threatening.

And yeah insurance providers may not cover it.

Squatters take over Gordon Ramsay hotel and pub in London

It's not legal. It's just harder to evict them since there are minimal anti-trespassing laws.

This problem has recently gotten worse because European billionaires are using London real estate to hide their wealth since the property tax is quite low in London.

This has lead to super inflated rent and housing costs making the low middle income groups seek desperate measures to have a roof over their head.

BJP candidate Rupala faces wrath of Kshatriyas over his remarks

Hasdeo forest had to go because Adani needed alll the precious lithium buried under it.

At the end of the day BJP is only loyal to one kind of people. It's the same people that it gets its pocket money from.

They pretend to be pro hindutva or anti casteism just to hold on to it's voters. So they can keep getting pocket money.

They help them loot the nation and give a share to the government.

The biggest electoral bond donors are also the biggest scammers. In the last decade over 5.3 trillion rupees or 63.6 billion dollars of people's money was lost in Bank frauds
