There's room and need in the world for both. There's some stuff you'll just never figure out if you're not hyper specialized.
There's also stuff we'd never know if everyone was hyper specialized. Crossover knowledge develops a lot of unique stuff too.
With 8+ billion people in the world, having a mix of specialized and diverse knowledge helps build the world we see.
It was an official act as part of his presidency, he should be immune.
The command was dumb, but the action wasn't.
It was implied that the plans were unable to be copied, otherwise the rebels would have sent a copy instead of the original. Vader would have been handed the original and the copy (or several) would have made it back to the leadership.
The empire needs to find the original to know it's no longer in rebel hands, so destroying it would have been losing that evidence.
The stormtroopers were on planet looking for the escape pod contents, so they're actions (mostly) make sense.
... Was trump duped into thinking putin prefers Harris and now he's trying to win his favor back?
Does putin need to call trump and explain what's going on?
“If there is ever a year to have an unhinged werewolf ripping its shirt off as the “I Voted” sticker … it’s 2024,” Derek Dobies, the chief of staff of the Michigan A.F.L.-C.I.O.

When we had the shuttle. We decided we didn't want to be in that situation again, but we still are.
Yes, except that leaves us with one option for sending people into space again.
Maybe they should report on the facts instead of feelings.
What exactly wouldn't work with it? Heck, even the maguffin is a magic black box that lets you unencrypt everything, including bank transfer data.
I can't think of much that won't work.
Edit: just realized I was thinking sneakers, not hackers...
Well you certainly accomplished a lot. I'm proud of you.
I get daily emails reminding me that the company paid for copilot and we should be using it.
They're here, anything pro trump is often downvoted, and most things heavily critical of the Dems are also often downvoted.
For better or worse, there's not a lot of right wing stuff that makes it into the positive on votes.
If you sort new, you'll see it pop up from time to time.
It's hard to tell sometimes, but it certainly feels like some political regimes are trying out dropping propaganda here or there into the conversation. I'm sure most of it is from genuine users, but there are some comments that just look like they're here to stir up dissent.
They've spent 80 years looking for a successor to Hitler and never found one.
Sometimes building a cult around an individual doesn't work out long term for a movement.
You shouldn't be that "worried" about the sun. It's borderline obsessive.
Daily sunscreen is more than enough.
You need sunlight to process vitamins and keep your vitamin D up
You need sunlight to regulate your circadian rhythm.
If you hide from the sun 24x7 you need to supplement those deficiencies with other sources, and it's highly likely you won't be successful in doing that.
Can't wait until all these losers finally realize trump is done and crawl back into the shadows
Well, I guess we're about a week away from Vance having a gay affair scandal.
Sounds more like a disorder than a "hack"
No, they're talking about a ridiculously high mass isotope of Hydrogen. Turns out it has some wacky properties.
It's more that it's heavier, so you have to transport a lot more weight for the same amount of product.
Secondary to that, glass can't be shaped as compactly as an aluminum can or plastic bottle, so it takes up more room for the same amount of product.
There's no perfect solution, which is why we have a lot of options.
I have an indoor/outdoor thermometer to keep track of how hot the back of my Expedition gets. I drive pretty regularly with two dogs in the back, and over the summer and winter the temps can get a little extreme.
I need to be able to take it out to keep an eye on it remotely (it has about 1/4 mile range) but also have it not rolling around while I drive.
There was a coin holder there that I popped out, and used as a template for an insert to keep this mounted semi-permanently.
Printed with kinda crappy Amazon Basics PETG. If it holds up well, I'll reprint it with better quality black PETG so it matches the car better.
The internet provides people space to build communities, shed light on injustices, and acquire vital knowledge that might not otherwise be available. And for LGBTQ+ individuals, digital spaces enable people that are not yet out to engage with their gender and sexual orientation.
Tips to keeping your identity secure, and protecting other members of your community from being accidentally doxxed or forced offline.
Extremely useful, especially for people who coordinate larger protests or online communities.
Neat time lapse video of a bunch of different plants (and fungi) growing from seed to flowering/fruiting.
We planted a variety of plants, at different stages of growth. After a bit of experimentation, cosmos grow extremely well. These were cuttings we put in just a couple weeks ago, and they're already bigger than most of the other plants that have been in there for over a month.
The very young plants did not survive, but the larger ones did. If they're too small, they just get swallowed down into the cups by the bobbing of the water.
Seems like the plants need to be large enough to reach all the way to the bottom of the pots, and still stick out enough.
Going to be interesting to see what it looks like at the end of the season.
The experimental mat has been out for about a week now, but extremely high winds during a storm last night pulled up a corner of the mat spilling out the contents.
Luckily the majority of the plants were able to be saved, so we have one empty spot now.
I added some weights to the four corners to hopefully prevent this from happening again.
This is why we're experimenting! Learning what works and what doesn't with the setup.

Our retention pond in our neighborhood has a lot of algae and problematic plant growth due to the surrounding farms and lawn runoff, so we're experimenting with a floating island to pull nutrients out before they can cause problems. This will also provide some interesting flowering plants, and more fish habitats.
Will be an interesting experiment to see what survives and what does poorly.
Zinnias, sunflowers, marigolds, and a few others are in net pots, inserted into cutouts in EVA foam mats.

Multiple space agencies are looking to send crewed missions to the Moon’s southern polar region in this decade and the next. Moreover, they intend to create the infrastructure that will allow for a sustained human presence, exploration, and economic development. This requires that the local geograph...
Really important step towards expanding our research on the moon, is creating highly detailed maps of the entire surface.
China is doing some great work on building out infrastructure and studies of the moon. They're the only country that's brought back any moon rocks in decades.
Space Race 3.0 is on, and we'll see how different approaches to the research and manned missions will move forward.
The US is currently building out an extremely upfront cost heavy project, but with a lot of long term benefits.
China is building a more straightforward moon project, but with higher ongoing costs, as much of the infrastructure is disposable (more like Apollo).
Life isn't so bad. Take a moment to enjoy this stunning JWST image of the Horsehead Nebula. Your tax dollars may have paid for it.
The amount of detail in these pictures is amazing. You can really see the texture in the nebula, and the features are so crisp, it kind of looks 3d.
When a spacecraft arrives at its destination, it settles into an orbit for science operations. But after the primary mission is complete, there might be other interesting orbits where scientists would like to explore. Maneuvering to a different orbit requires fuel, limiting a spacecraft’s number of ...
Pretty interesting topic, would be interesting if it could be used to move satellites to a "parking orbit" once they run out of fuel. It's unclear just how much movement in an orbit that can be done, as it says it needs to be in the same energy level.

The Perseverance Rover has found the kind of rock that it was sent there to find. It's exactly the type that holds microscopic fossils.
If there’s a Holy Grail on Mars, it’s probably a specific type of rock: A rock so important that it holds convincing clues to Mars’ ancient habitability.
Perseverance might have just found it.
Didn't work out at all, but wanted to share a conversion of a dobsonian telescope into a horseshoe mount that I built a while back. Was a completely failed experiment, but it was also kinda fun.
There was an issue on Reddit a while back where people would post some hateful stuff, and of course lots of people blocked them.
After a while, anti-trans, racist, and far-right-wing stuff were only seen by non-logged in users, other bigots, or new people, and they weren't getting the downvotes they deserved.
Is this going to be a problem on Lemmy too? I'm worried that if we're all blocking shitty users that we're just hiding the problem from ourselves, not fixing it.
This was a fun project, I had to measure and figure out the iottie thread pitch and then create an adapter to go from a phone mount stand to a backplate on my wireless camera screen for a backup camera on a trailer.
Basically replicated the back plate from the original phone mount with the same tolerances and spacing.
Took 2 test prints to make sure the threads and spacing was right, then I printed it out of PETG. Seems to hold up well, but I might end up adjusting the design over time if it has a weak point.
