I was looking for some more stories about the 12 percent decrease in the US murder rate and just look at the suggestions from search.

Naturally if you take these suggestions you'll find material that gives you the impression the rate is rising.

Some kinds of misinformation feel huge and intractable. No one wants to hear this, no one wants to looks for this, no one reports it and when they do it's literally headlines like "After Rise in Murders During Pandemic a Sharp Decline"

She’s almost there… just a little more thinking…

This afternoon we set up the 11yo’s new microscope. While preparing her first slides, she dropped a pair of sharp tweezers on her bare foot and started to bleed. She immediately grabbed a slide, wiped a little blood on it, put it under the microscope, and snapped her first photo!

remember those were the days 😆 #helium #dogsofmastodon

Also February 7, 2036, just in case 😉

Wild geese in northern Europe – some of them – have a high time on New Year’s Eve. Evidence for that appears in a study called “Wild goose chase: Geese flee high and far, and with aftereffects from New Year’s fireworks“. The facts, presented plainly, show what the geese were up to on those nights... https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg26034711-500-celebrating-new-year-with-the-otorhinolaryngology-crew/

A kebych tak zaczōn pisać tooty po ślōnsku? 🤔

Didn't realize my wireless plan capped tethering speeds, but now it makes sense. When your phone gets ~10-15 mbps and your tethered computer gets .5 or .6 consistently, you know they're screwing w/ the service you paid for.

Welp, I'm ashamed it took me this long to realize, but changing the TTL on my computer seems to have released the throttling.

Heloł, w kolorowej czapeczce ze śmigiełkiem. tak będę wkraczał w 2024 rok. Rok w którym trzeba nareszcie obalić kapitalizm i zaprowadzić demokrację, tzn. dyktaturę proletariatu. Z farcikiem.

Przypominajka że jest to 2024 r. naszej ery (w skrócie: n.e.) a nie żaden 2024 r. po Chrystusie. Jezus Chrystus jest postacią mitologiczną lub legendarną i nie ma dostatecznych dowodów by uznać go za postać realnie istniejącą tzw. "postać historyczną".

Aha no i #niestrzelamwsylwestra

In desert climates of the US a suburban lawn, with irrigation and soil aeration "maintenance" is basically a fire ant paradise. Fire ants love direct sun. They hate bushes that shade the ground, diverse clumps of plants, and fire ants can't live in the desert. They are tropical and the sprinklers for lawns complete the picture. Fire ant paradise!

But then people get so angry when they show up to live in something clearly made for them.
