One of the children treated by physicians using Lady Mary's recommendations was Edward Jenner, who would, of course, go on to develop smallpox vaccine.

A question for people who have moved from one Mastodon Server to another.

I would love to know the reasons that you changed instances so I can better understand what people like, and want, in the Fediverse, and don't like.

I moved once, but only because I wanted to run my own instance. I loved the instance that I was on (social.linux.pizza) before coming here.

Please share. Boosting is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

No se... a lo mejor me equivoco pero... siempre he creído que un DIOS que AMA a sus "hijos/hijas" nunca mandaría quebrarle los dedos y las manos a alguien solo porque "opine diferente", digo... Yo NUNCA lo haría, y solo soy un humano común, supongo que Dios es infinitamente superior a mi, así que...

Hey Entomologists-

In this post-Bioquip world, where do you buy spreading boards?

Not only that, but when the news has to appeal to popularity for clicks and views, it ceases to be news.

There is really absolutely no need for 24 hour news networks. They are mostly a cancer on public discourse. And, frankly, they repeat the same shit all day. Only they do so in huge swaths of pundit segments and silly talk shows.

They aren't news. And when something big breaks, they cut into their programs just like any other station can.

24 hour networks seem to exist, mostly, for bored politicos and terminally online types. It's almost like they try to project this air of always giving news, when, in reality, they just recycle the same points dozens of times an hour, for hours on end, in between viagra commercials.

I can't say this country seems better informed or more civic minded than I remember it being before the rise of infotainment and 24 hour news channels. In fact, it seems much worse off.

Fun fact: the term “carbon footprint” was popularized by oil giant BP in the early 2000s to shift climate change blame onto individuals & away from corporations.

Individual action is great, but 20 fossil fuel companies are responsible for a third of global carbon emissions.
