Positive denial.

Subspace interference.

Because Fuck Adobe.

Thanks I hate it.

So how will Apple craft this announcement in a way that avoids showing some kind of submission to the will and desires of the Android juggernaut? Let me guess… Anyone texting in from hardware other than an iPhone will still get the funky balloon color, eh?

I can only imagine that at some point in the future humans will be on deck for such modifications. Brave New World, eh?

An a.i. clarification of the article’s summary: Researchers proved that stem cells from mammals can turn into any cell type like cells from an early embryo. These are called naive stem cells. They’ve shown naive stem cells work great in rodents, but not as well in primates since the donor cells don’t match the host embryo. So they tried different conditions to produce naive stem cells from monkeys and got better at growing chimeric embryos. A chimeric monkey is one that has cells from two different embryos combined together. They created an aborted fetus and live chimeric monkey with high donor cell numbers. Testing showed the donor cells integrated into many tissues (including sex organs and placenta) of the chimeric monkeys, up to 90%. This is a big deal for researching naive stem cells and genetically modifying primates.

If a bear shits in the woods, is the Pope Catholic? (Equally perplexing question…)

So, I’m sitting here in the “library,” where I do most of my best reading, holding my mobile device in my left hand and scrolling with my right thumb. I’m trying to imagine how this would work with a widescreen foldable device, kind of like a tablet, TBH. I just can’t see it. Holding a standard normal phone is super easy, a firm grip on both sides. A foldable would require some extra gymnastics… I don’t get this “really got to have it” feeling.

Yep. That’s why I also pay for it. It’s a reasonable price for a valued service. Moaners gotta moan.

I retired.

I didn’t go anywhere. I spend a lot of time on YouTube and enjoy the service immensely. Also, YouTube Music is my main streaming source. And yeah, I pay for both, every month. It’s worth it to me. YMMV.

I think that’s a really good point. Of course it’s easier said than done, and any particular neighborhood environment could make it difficult to accomplish. I live in suburban Southern California. Our neighborhood is near the beach, about 150 years old. We have condo boxes, old post-WWII flats, ranch style houses, apartments, AirBnBs. I’m retired, loquacious, and I keep an eye out. I’ve met most of my neighbors, know them by name, and I try to stay out of their hair. I even say hello to the AirBnB peeps. We have an older lady next door, kind of a shut in. Never saw her outside. One day I left a note in her mailbox, introducing myself and my wife. Told her we were always around, and if she needed a hand once in a while (as we all do), we’d be able to help. She got back to me and was very grateful and happy I dropped the note. You never know, you might make someone’s day or even save their life.

Your comment has been my experience. I’ve been a homeowner in the same house for 30 years. We did a remodel after we first arrived. Gotta say we were naive about many things, plumbing fixtures included. Most of our pipe valves were (as you described) those oval knob jobbies. They are simple compression fixtures that screw in for many turns until the valve closes. These are terrible, awful and very bad. Mine suffered corrosion and froze in place. We recently went through another remodel, and among other things, had all new valves installed. This time we used 1/4 turn brass valves. A simple 90 degree turn and the valve is closed. Much less susceptible to corrosion/rot, etc. They cost more during installation, but in the long run you save time, money and sanity.

Loves me some Boost. Boost is the moost.

On the desk, photon.lemmy; on the mob, Boost for Lemmy. rockin’it.

Exercise their water valves. Crawl under the kitchen sink and the bathroom sink, reach around behind the toilet, find the hot and cold valves behind the washing machine. Especially if you live in a hard water area as I do, in Southern California. I have it on my calendar to do it twice a year. If I don’t, the valves will eventually become calcified and ossified and worthless. I say this based on hard experience.

I’m here working at developing a community every day. It’s the community for my hometown, a large city on the coast of California. I try to post some interesting original content at least every other day, including photos.

Sometimes I feel like it’s a personal echo chamber, but there are lots of lurkers and upvotes, so I keep going. Reading lots of other Lemmy communities going forward. It’s all good.

Suggest not going anywhere when drunk. In fact, suggest not getting drunk.
