it’s a “really good idea” to try to bargain with Trump

Lol! What rock has this guy been living under?

It doesn't matter what time you think it's the right one, the black hole will get it anyway.

Nah, that's the weekly interaction.

(Ok, in reality, this meme is 3 or 4 years old by now. Back then, he was asking for those absurd numbers yearly.)

Wow. So I went looking if people actually knew when our codon system appeared.

Turns out that there are 26 slightly different systems on Earth right now, and there are good reasons to expect random alien life to have a system that looks like ours, but is different enough to not be compatible.

In about half of those "atoms for peace" projects people were competent enough to look if they could avoid destroying the world in the process. I think this is one of those.

Any kind of social or local destruction was still completely ignored, though.

It's extremely unlikely that their DNA has the same translation semantics into proteins.

Sending the price of gas to the stratosphere, replacing the petrodollar schema by petroyuan, increasing the military spending by a huge margin, and antagonizing the entire world aren't enough of a distraction to guarantee people won't be thinking about it in the elections.

But doing that with 9 months of time for it to impact all the business and family budgets in your country is.

There are 6 of them, and the yellow jackets are only relevant there. Before you pointed I didn't notice they are protesters.

I just assumed they were people working around moving and assembling the thing.

Half a dozen of them have real cost/benefits trade-offs that make preaching for a single one harmful. The other thousand are just completely useless waste of time not worth mentioning.

I'm deeply sorry. If it's any consolation, it will eventually happen to everybody.

Or at least everybody that didn't see the light and adopt The Penguin... But let's leave religion to another time.

UK, Japan, China and South Korea

Hum... A month ago UK was preparing for a war against the US with the rest of NATO.

And China?! Really?!

Japan barely has a navy, I'm not sure South Korea even has ships on theirs.

As a developer that learned it once, a long time ago, naturally I sign to the pledge...

I have some doubts if I should mark it NSFW.

All those student protests on the US seem to be about stopping their universities from supporting the Israel government. But supporting a foreign government is not a normal thing for a university to do, why do they do it?

Is there some educational or research resource they get?

The links like !NoStupidQuestions@lemmy.world.

I have had a pretty bad time making those work. I have tried searching for them at the communities page, and removing the exclamation mark and pasting them on my instance (lemmy.world/c/NoStupidQuestions@lemmy.world).

Some times one of those works, other times my instance finds nothing. And if I go directly to the home instance of the community, it doesn't bring my login.

What is the recommended way to use those?
