When everyone tries to leave at once it's just about the worst driving scenario possible.
That gives me a notion. Maybe it's possible to get team owners on board supporting public transit, by pointing out that the reason people don't stay for the whole game is to avoid traffic.

But really, anyone who continues along the same line of research for long enough is going to necessarily cite themselves rather than just listing all of the previous results in each paper.

All of the hydrogen was created at the initial cooling of the big bang. In this case what I mean by primordial, is that it was never part of a larger composite object like a star.

If that hydrogen was previously incorporated in a star, I think it's fair to call it stardust. That's very likely, since our solar system would have formed from a relatively dense cloud of the remnants of earlier stars, with just a smidge of primordial hydrogen mixed in.

Many here will be seeing this for the first time. For others it will be a fun reminder of something they haven't seen for a long time. Still others will find it to be the same old tired shit they're sick of.
When you see the same old tired shit on Lemmy (or any social media), just move on. There will be plenty that is new to you.

but the lack of full factual disclosure is a choice
What full facts are you assuming they had? The claim that the cemetery official was having some kind of episode was made by Civitas Cheung. That is a fact. The claim that it was not the case has apparently not been made yet by anyone. Do you want the reporters to speculate about what they think really happened? I don't.

Google breaks Newpipe regularly, and then Newpipe always fixes it very fast. Sometimes I've been unable to use it for about two days or so. Totally worth it to not support Google.

But that doesn't tell anyone anything about how far above the threshold we're talking about. Could be 2 degrees instead of 1. That's not much. or it could be 60 degrees instead of 30. That seems important.

Unless she win NC or OH. She's doing really well in both.

I thought the situation was a little like Android. Google develops an open source version (along with as many independent developers who wish to contribute), then sticks on a bunch of proprietary BS and sells that version to phone companies. If chromium is to chrome like vanilla android is to android with g-services, then I guess my question really becomes: is google making this change in the underlying code base, or just in the BS they put on top?
Or am I confused about how the connection works between chrome and chromium?

Will this change be implemented in Chromium too? Or will it / should it finally become independent of Chrome?

When I subscribe to someone's youtube channel through Newpipe, does their subscriber count on youtube go up? Or is subscribing just telling Newpipe to bookmark that content for me, but doesn't tell youtube anything? The reason I ask is because the subscriber count on youtube could be an underestimate that way.

Which two event are you talking about being simultaneous? The Sun going out and Earthers observing it? Those things will not be simultaneous in any reference frame, because they are "light-like" separated. (ie they lie on a 45 degree line in a Minkowski plot.)

Science can never answer "why." In your example, the question why is just moved, from "why does it fall?" to "why does mass distort space-time?" In both cases physics just describes what happens.

In physics we call some results "laws" and some "theories." The difference has absolutely nothing to do with our certainty in the validity of the results.
Newton's Laws of motion are called that because they can be written as concise mathematical equations, and allof the content is there. Einstein's Theory of special relativity is just as valid, and even contains Newton's Laws as a special case, but the content of the theory can't be written in simple, concise equations. There are several equations included in special relativity, but they do not represent the entire content. For example, the most important statement of the theory cannot be written in equation form at all: "The measured speed of light in a vacuum will be the same for all observers in inertial reference frames, regardless of the relative speed of their reference frame."
Darwin's Theory of Evolution likewise cannot be written in concise statements (mathematical or otherwise), but our certainty in its validity is no less than in Newton's Laws.
Another important subtlety: I was careful to say that we are certain of the validity. People who don't know better are fond of saying that Newton's Laws are wrong. This is a fallacy. Scientific laws and theories can only be valid or not, they can never be true.

My instance has downvoting enabled, but I've learned that some other instances do not. Do the vote totals look different to users on different instances? It seems like some users on instances that don't allow downvoting are unaware that it's not the same lemmy-wide. It would be pretty confusing for them to see their vote go down.
