But is the sugar of broken down (caramelized) onions the same sugar? As in, would the jar with sugar next to my meal to show me how much sugar I'm eating fill up as the onions caramelize?
I read somewhere that pigeons normally live in little holes in cliffs, and that their "nests" are basically only supposed to prevent the egg from rolling out. So they are doing perfectly fine in their own way. In contrast to you and your stupid experiment.
So none of these images are from the actual site right?
Americans will be like, haha look at this tiny car, while this car is still twice as big as your average European one.
Sounds like a cool where good things happen. Remind of the (brief) time I worked at the People's supermarket in London.
I showed this to my girlfriend and she was like, "I don't get it, why are you showing this to me?"
Its my home too. Does this make us flatmates?
Incredible.
I also found this passage in Davis' "Magdalena: river of dreams", which talks of "bogas", the often black people that were tasked with navigating river transport (although I guess it should be recognized that this is about 260 years after Gonzales Jimenez de Quesada):
As he traveled up the Magdalena in 1801, Alexander von Humboldt described the complex choreography. With the depth and volume of water,it was rarely possible for the bogas to make contact with the actual bed of the river. Thus, the massive champanes, some capable of carrying 120 bales of cargo, each with a weight of 250 pounds, had to cling to the shores,allowing the men purchase and leverage for their poles: roots and tree trunks, gravel banks and mudflats. As a helmsman steered the flat-bottomed vessel from the stern, the pilot orchestrated the movement of the men. In the bow, beyond the protective awning, the six bogas, all naked save for loincloths, each wielded a two-pronged pole three times the height of a man. As three of them moved toward the awning, pressing their poles against their chests, the other three walked toward the front of the vessel,with arms uplifted, holding their poles horizontally above the heads of those engaged. Three of the bogas reached the bow precisely as the other half of the team came to the awning. At that instant, be it day or night, those at the bow dropped their poles into the water, while those at the awning swung theirs up in the air. The result was a continuous motion, a constant momentum such that the champán never had a chance to slip back downstream. The work demanded what Humboldt called “Herculean strength,” but muscle power alone was not enough. The bodies of the men,callused and scarred across the nipples and chest from the constant friction of the poles, had to move in rhythm, with the precision of a well-drilled military unit. Humboldt saw it as a form of dance, a perfect balance of power and grace.
But how did the sail against the current?

Why do some cultures prefer bright white neon lights?
Why do some cultures prefer to light their homes with bright white neon lights? And others with more yellow dimmed lighting?
I think at lemmy it makes more sense to have a sign for not sarcastic. Maybe ~/s~
Name showing in log in?
Small question: I am on Debian and use Gnome. I'm the only user on this laptop.
Is it possible to hide my username from the log in screen? So that only the password field shows?
The point is, my login name is my first name, and I don't like it ...
- ... when people in public transport can see my first name when I log in
- ...that if I lose my laptop, the people who find it can easily know my first name
I realize I could also simply pick a username that is not my first name, but it would save me a lot of reconfiguration if I could simply hide the name from the login screen.
Are lunar calendars more common in civilizations at lower latitudes?
Given that annual fluctuations in solar irradiation become less pronounced the closer you get to the equator, it might get less relevant to track time by referring to our position to the sun?
Fossilesque appreciation post
This is not a science meme.
I just want to take a moment to thank @[email protected] for providing us with so much quality content.
Really improves my day!
Would CSAR also apply to decentralized encrypted messaging services/protocols like Matrix?
If so how could they enforce that?

How come there are currently large low pressure zones at North Pole and South Pole?
Looking at https://zoom.earth/maps/pressure/
Given the much lower temperatures at the poles, I would expect the pressure to be (much) higher.
I'm reading here and there that air pressure at the antarctic is low because of its high altitude, but these maps show (I presume?) MSLP?
Is Bluesky (going to be) as community-run as Mastodon?
Reading this article, and especially the end ...
> CEO Jay Graber told The Verge that the plan is to hand over control of the AT protocol to a web standards body like the Internet Engineering Task Force.
... it almost sounds as if Bluesky is (going to be) as community-run as Mastodon.
But I'm suspicious. What is the catch?
