Nonsense, I remember watching a documentary as a kid that the tasmanian devil would spin around into a little tornado and eat kiwis.

It kinda sounds like Ridley from the GBA Metroid games. I never knew he was a Kiwi, but I guess that’s my new head-canon.

You mean bedsores, yeah its a pretty similar cause. The difference is that bedsores only cause damage to the skin from lack of blood flow caused by the extended pressure from lying down. While in horses, the extended pressure from lying down leads to poor blood flow in not just the skin, but the muscles and organs nearby too.

And yes, you can turn horses over too, but it takes multiple people and is really dangerous to everyone involved, so its not an action to be taken lightly.

I wonder if those under desk bikes are enough movement to avoid these issues, or if that’s still not enough.

“But a study suggests standing desks, which have soared in popularity in recent years, do not compensate for being inactive and may even increase the risk of conditions such as swollen veins and blood clots in the legs.”

So its not just useless, but even worse than sitting. Yikes. I guess the healthy thing is to create situations that make you move around more. Get up to drink water, get up for a snack, get up for anything else you can think of while working a desk job.

I miss it too, but its not like we’ve been starved for content, she’s been doing little daily comics for a while now.

It’s not just horses, all large mammals have this problem from lying down too long. Horses can and do lie down every day, but for short periods of time. It’s the extended lying down from illness or injury that kills them.

To add on why broken legs are fatal: its because horses are so big, that even with a sling, they cannot support themselves well on 3 legs. And lying down is also not an option as their own weight will crush their internal organs if they stay down for too long.

Big fan of Nintendo’s classic 1985 single, “It’s a me, Mario”

by that logic you also have to add Manjaro to Arch at 2.95% which makes it 51.65% Arch, plus I use EndeavorOS which is also based on Arch and not on the list, but I would not be surprised if it broke the 1% userbase for steam.

From the 22% Other: We probably have at least 5% Red Hat based distros like Fedora and Nobara that I hear is popular for gaming.

2-3% might be OpenSuse

The other distros are split by version, while Arch, being a rolling release is but a single entry. I bet if you add up all of the Ubuntus and Linux Mints, they’d be much higher than Arch.

So, as I understand it, and I don’t, 5D is just fancy marketing due to the really weird properties of the crystals used to store the data in. They are just calling properties of the crystal, dimensions.

I found the wiki page on it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5D_optical_data_storage

According to the University of Southampton:

The 5-dimensional discs [have] tiny patterns printed on 3 layers within the discs. Depending on the angle they are viewed from, these patterns can look completely different. This may sound like science fiction, but it’s basically a really fancy optical illusion. In this case, the 5 dimensions inside of the discs are the size and orientation in relation to the 3-dimensional position of the nanostructures. The concept of being 5-dimensional means that one disc has several different images depending on the angle that one views it from, and the magnification of the microscope used to view it. Basically, each disc has multiple layers of micro and macro level images.[16]

I’ve always been a fan of the war hammer. You have the crushing end and the stabbing end, so versatile.

That feels like too far in the other direction. Rather than open internet access, there should be a district-wide intranet or at least just a proper whitelist of allowed sites, but of course that would require a proper IT department and would be too costly for most schools.

Fungus TERFs be like, “ThErE aRe OnLy 6561 gEnDeRs”

23k sexes that’s fascinating, so I looked it up:
They have two sex genes, named A and B, each of these have have an allele (alternate form) called alpha and beta. So combined there are 4 unique spots in the gene to look at. A-alpha, A-beta, B-alpha, and B-beta. Each of these can have variations, with A-beta having 32 and the rest 9. 32 x 9 x 9 x 9 = 23328 unique sexes

So describing your sex would look something like A-alpha-1, A-beta-8, B-alpha-3, B-beta-5.

You win this round, science.

Can’t have light without dark. Can’t have good without evil. Otherwise you just have boring stagnation. God likes chaos and excitement, not boring safety.

Windows 11 serving me ads in the OS was a step too far. Windows 10 already had them as apps in every update that annoyed me, but 11 took them to a new level that was too far for me.

This feels like a lovecraftian story. You gained forbidden knowledge but lost your humanity in exchange.
