So… the genie offers to make me look better by increasing my looks to only slightly below average? Noice!
Hah! Not those exact words but Angela Merkel in 2007: “The Internet is new territory for all of us”.
Enkrod@feddit.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Who's rolling grave would probably generate the most electricity and why?275·4 months agoBULLSHIT. Opposition to censorship continues to be strong on the left. I was there for “Stasi 2.0”, “Schäublone” and “Zensursula”. And nobody could EVER justifiably accuse Wolfgang Schäuble or Urula von der Leyen of leftism.
It’s continually the right that screeches “cEnSoRsHiP!!1!” when they get deplatformed by someone who has the right to deny them service, but it’s also the right that continually tries to implement state censorship.
Ah, yes, the 4-dimensional properties of USB, turn 180º twice for different properties…
The cheetah and the puma/cougar are way more closely related to domestic cats than they are to the big cats of the panthera family (the roaring big cats).
They migt be tall cats, but they are no big cats.

What is it famous for?2·6 months agoWhat’s more well known around the world, Wacken or Rammstein? Because Wacken is smaller than Ramstein and would be the better answer but my guess is that Rammstein are more known.

Famous for the Ramstein Air base, the bombing of the air base, the Ramstein air show disaster and the band named after all of that.

There is no such thing for trees, because “tree” is a botanical classification, not a cladistical one.
Enkrod@feddit.orgto Science Memes@mander.xyz•Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy InfintiyEnglish423·6 months agoIf baboons and macaques are monkeys, and if howlermonkeys and spidermonkeys are monkeys, humans MUST be monkeys.
Because they can ONLY both be monkeys if their common ancestor was also a monkey and we share that very same common ancestor. In fact we are closer related to macaques and baboons than to spidermonkeys, which means we share a more recent common ancestor with old world monkeys than both us and the other old world monkeys share with the new world monkeys.
Cladistically, you can not outgrow your ancestry.
Humans are apes, apes are a subgroup of monkeys, monkeys are a subgroub of primates.

That’s just farming, only on a reeeeeeaaaaly small scale.
Diceros bicornis
The twohorned twohorn… this is wild.
First, let me agree that everything in the kingdom Animalia is, in fact, an animal.
But now let me point out that many of the people who say shit like this might not speak english as their first language. Many languages have different words for animal for different types of animals. I tried to find out what I’m half remembering but I can’t find it quickly and I have to get to work. But I vaguely remember that some word that’s usually translated as animal into english actually doesn’t include insects. Just like the english “deer” at one point in time refered to all wild beasts (but not fish or fowl) and now only refers to Cervidae.
Enkrod@feddit.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was the last song you had to press repeat on?2·8 months agoEmbrace the Rot by Endless Taverns.
I play a high level D&D spore druid who worships the rot as the culmination of the circle of life and death. He’s also, due to our campaign turning us into the heirs of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, currently wearing the mantle of the second horseman “Pestilence”.
It’s just… the song is perfect, it’s his theme song now.
depends on your Distro, for Linux Mint it’s just the Driver Manager.
To access the Driver Manager in Linux Mint, follow these steps:
Once you have opened the Driver Manager, follow these steps to install the Nvidia drivers:
Then reboot.

For most problems you can really just google stuff like “Linux Mint Nvidia Drivers”
