I don't know why everyone makes such a big deal about wizards removing the "half-" races from D&D.

It's not as if someone will actually play OneD&D...

Hank Green on LinkedIn is such a menace and I love it. That whole platform has such a huge stick shoved up its ass.

Lichen is pretty cool stuff (1 cent coin for scale)

85 years ago.

In April 1938, Guy Callendar published his seminal paper showing that Earth’s land areas had warmed over the previous 50 years.

He also suggested that man-made CO₂ emissions had caused around half of the observed warming.

Nüchterne Bestandsaufnahme: #FDP, #SPD und #Grüne haben gerade das Pariser #Klimaschutz-Abkommen endgültig in die Tonne getreten, getrieben von #BILD #CDU #CSU und Co. Keine Partei in Deutschland hat derzeit ein Interesse, die Klimakatastrophe noch aufzuhalten. Warum?

I made these for decoration purposes but ended up spending longer on the identification of the plants than on the rest. Props to everyone who actually works with taxonomy, that shit is wild.

@tortoc Hab gerade das selbe gedacht. Vielleicht bewegen wir uns ja beide mit relativistischen Geschwindigkeiten durch die Raumzeit! XD

Tomorrow, the IPCC will release the Synthesis of the 6th Assessment, summarising all six of the previous component Reports.

There will be no surprises.

Just read an article about chatgpt "lying" about someone being dead and it's like "I asked it for the link to the obituary but it doubled down on the lie and provided a fake link instead" and I'm begging people to understand that it's a statistical model, it doesn't know it's lying so it can't "double down". The statistically probably answer to "where is the link" is not "I'm sorry I made it all up", it's a link.

Dass der Bahnbabo in Frankfurt mehr Stimmen bekommen hat als der Kandidat der FDP ist auch schon witzig

@tortoc Normalerweise geb ich dir ja bei so Zeug Recht aber das Verbot von Verbrennern ist mehr als nötig. Da geht es ja nicht um Privatpersonen, denen was verboten wird sondern um eine Industrie, die bekannt dafür ist, jedes noch so kleine Schlupfloch auszunutzen um auf Kosten des Klimas Profit zu machen.

I'm really hyped for KSP 2 but at the same time I really am a bit disappointed by what has been show so far.

Sure, an early access game doesn't have to be finished by any means but so far KSP 2 has less features and worse performance than the original

It's funny how all of Germany parties for a few days in a conventional carnival and then there is the southwest where people dress up in the nastiest wooden masks of devils and hags and beat onlookers with inflated pig's bladders.
