Kind of, but not really. 0F doesn’t mean anything special in relation to human interaction, it relates to the freezing point of some random salt and water mixture (not seawater). 32 is a random number for the freezing point of freshwater which humans do care about, and 212 is nonsense for boiling temp of water which humans also care about and routinely use. The only part pertinent is that 100 is close to, but higher than human body temperature, but not quite where it counts as a fever… just the temperature of a sub-feverish human… how is that helpful! Sorry I really don’t care for the Fahrenheit system and I’m prepared to die on this hill

Rowing is a terf, how do I prove it?

So originally I was sceptical about the TERF claims on rowling (because I didn’t want them to be true), I’d assumed terminally online people had decided something silly (as has happened before), but the more I looked at it and thought about it, the more I thought, “Ok, I don’t really have proof here, but the odds are...

The reason all cops are bastards is that it’s incentivized by the police force itself. Cops who speak up about the misbehaviour of other actual bastard cops, are mistreated and even pushed out. This leads to a situation where they will look the other way when shitty cops do shitty cop things, in order to keep their job or feel safe or just not have a terrible time at work. But by looking the other way, they have been corrupted and are a huge part of the problem.

I’m sure logically there are some niche situations where a cop has never faced that choice and hasn’t done anything morally reprehensible themselves, but ACAB is more about the corruption necessitated by the system than the actual day to day conduct of cops who aren’t directly evil. Of course it’s good that someone stops people on murderous rampages, but the system supporting those people is broken in a very dangerous way that lets them also get away with terrible crimes.

If you have a good relationship with your sister-in-law you could ask if she’s ever seen or heard of or suspected any bad behaviour by her fellow officers, and what she did about it?

That’s basically what axolotls are, the aquatic pre-metamorphic stage of a salamander that gained the ability to reproduce before morphing, and now doesn’t undergo metamorphosis anymore. In rare circumstances of nutritional imbalance or environmental stress axolotls can morph, but they have shortened lifespans and generally are weak or sick afterwards. And I’m not sure if this is an ability of the true wild axolotls, or if it’s related to the fact that the vast majority if not all axolotls in captivity have a little bit of tiger salamander in the mix (they are a hybrid, not the same as a true wild axolotl, and the true wilds are critically endangered).

Thanks for coming to my axolotl talk

I had this same thing happen with a friend of mine, he was being manipulated by his partner at the time, 1 slow motion train crash later, he got diagnosed with bipolar, medicated and stabilized. We talk a bit again, it’s nice to see him in a stable place. But if someone refuses to hear what the therapist says and dismisses them or hides information from them they aren’t really going to be able to get proper help.

They definitely have to do the work to be willing to publish something like this. They also did a pretty damn deep dive into the other recently infamous ‘pretendian’ professor in Saskatchewan (Carrie Bourassa).

My problem is more the actual motivation (executive dysfunction really) than memory, I can usually look back at what I was doing enough to pick it back up later. I try to add things to a notepad on my phone when I remember it exists and I should do it, but having things written down doesn’t seem to have a ton of impact on whether or not it will be completed. I don’t really understand how this helps you get the motivation to actually do these things, but it probably depends on what it is we each struggle with. How does memory keep you motivated? By reminding you of why you care about doing something maybe?

I struggle with doing anything beyond the bare necessities to get out the door in the morning before work, cause night person in a day world. But I do have the very brisk morning walks when I’m running a few minutes late (often). At work I have extrinsic motivation so that’s usually fine, but doing things to take care of my life self and growth after work I am often pretty useless. Do you think trying to get dopamine up again after work?

Often it’s most efficient for me to to just slide right into chores when I get home without losing my work vibe/fast state, but it’s tiring, and tends to push eating and drinking down the priority list even further… I feel just poorly balanced in general. But I’m not medicated or even properly diagnosed, just strongly suspected and waiting for my assessment in the next few months.

Yes, it’s true the few things I have habits for are the ones I can do pretty consistently, not 100% of course, and sometimes I get the feeling after I already walked out the door and have to go back and check lol. I do agree that habits and schedules and stuff can be really good for people with adhd but they are also really difficult to self- impose. I used to have a sticky note posted in my house somewhere prominent to remind me of some things I should do every day, like drink water, but eventually it gets moved or passed over or I’m in a hurry a few days in a row and it’s gone. I’m not trying to be defeatist, I know there are strategies to help, and I appreciate any and all advice, as I’m definitely in need of some changes.

Looking for a thermometer or home weather center with indoor and outdoor temp sensors, and that can record and export the data, does anyone know of such a device?

What you’re looking for is a 2 channel temperature data logger, but it might be cheaper to just buy 2 single channel ones (a really brief search shows some for like $30)

Are there pro-theft communities that support stealing directly from other (not super rich) individuals? I don’t think corporations are victims of the oppressive system, so stealing from them is still ethically congruent

I don’t think that’s the main problem contributing to food deserts. In my city, zoning regulations and anticompetitive contracts have created them… so, shitty business practices and nimbyism.

Do y'all have any suggestions on how to stimulate an unruly puppy?

I have a very smart 4 month old goldendoodle who loves getting into everything. She has no interest in her toys or chews. I’m at my wits end. She won’t respond to any correction or redirection. I puppy proofed tf out of my house but she still finds shit to get into. Idek where she gets some of the stuff she finds....

Slowy,
@Slowy@lemmy.world avatar

She needs more walks outside into interesting places where she can see new things and smells etc. The best way to deal with this is tiring her out with significant physical activity. Swimming is good and she should like that for her breed. Just being tied on a lead all day by herself in the same old yard is not enough. They don’t need to go to an actual dog park, but they need real walks!!

Also, golden doodles are known to be stubborn idiots.

Slowy,
@Slowy@lemmy.world avatar

Going outside into the backyard every day for hours isn’t enough, at least not for her breed - your older beagle probably cares less. Dogs need actual walks, out to new places. Big hour long ones.

Slowy,
@Slowy@lemmy.world avatar

She needs the mileage. Really truly needs it. Take her somewhere walking where there aren’t other dogs as soon as your vet clears it. If your vet has cleared it already your own worry is not worth depriving her of this

Banff is an extremely busy park so unless they are willing to close that trail/bear’s territory to the public, there aren’t a lot of other good options. If the bear has decided people are a threat/food, relocating it would also be difficult and may introduce some liability.

Slowy,
@Slowy@lemmy.world avatar

I agree with you completely. I made my guess because they usually mention if a bear had cubs present during an attack, but it is an oversimplification to say the bear decided to see people that way for sure. All I meant by it is, once a bear is triggered into overcoming that fear or wariness and attacking/killing and possibly eating a human, there is a higher risk of them doing so again (unsurprisingly, if the behaviour was successful from the bear’s perspective).

It is a very arrogant and anthrocentric approach. I don’t condone it but I also don’t expect anything better (such as reducing human encroachment into their territory) because I am rightfully(?) jaded.

What is the attraction to kids?

There has been a ton of CSAM and CP arrests in the US lately, especially from cops and teachers, along with at least one female teacher seducing boys as young as 12. I cannot understand the attraction to kids. Even teens. Do these people think they are having a relationship, or it is somehow okay to take away another human...

Slowy,
@Slowy@lemmy.world avatar

If it is in fact helping them, yes. It would be ideal to do a study of how it affects their self control before going that direction though I think, as some argue it would do the opposite.

Slowy,
@Slowy@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t have enough information to have an opinion and I do agree with you that knee jerk reactions are not ideal. But choosing to allow it (at a time when AI generated media is starting to be regulated) is also a decision.

That should never be a reasonable option anyway wtf, just send your cat to shit in your neighbours yard or a park or something so you don’t have to deal with it is rude

Slowy,
@Slowy@lemmy.world avatar

Most cats in cities do not live outside, cats are not native to most places they occupy, and most people do not let invasive pets they keep outside to poop on property shared with others without cleaning it up. And cities would be worse off if they did.

No he’s right, this is a disconnect with reality

@Slowy@lemmy.world avatar

I think while they may be a bit distasteful to some, you can’t really start considering unclothed animals as nude or most photos of them would be breaking the rules…

Still a blatant photo of animal’s junk can definitely be inappropriate and since you asked nicely I think it’s perfectly reasonable to mark NSFW (and also it’s a bit funny to do so too)

I do this to keep stories or conversations moving as well, but I more often do so to avoid talking about something I don’t feel like sharing with them, because I know it’s going to draw more questions and I just don’t care to give that information or have that conversation.

Slowy,
@Slowy@lemmy.world avatar

Don’t take your neighbours pet away. Don’t punish an animal that doesn’t know it’s doing anything wrong, punish the owner… by reporting them. Or relocating the cat shit to their front step. Or you can start by just talking to them

Slowy,
@Slowy@lemmy.world avatar

That’s a horrible thing to do to someone’s pet

Maybe they don’t realize how far they’re wandering, it’s just worth a shot is all. It’s not the only option available anyway, people absolutely can get fines handed out as well. I have more aggressive location ideas where the cat poop can be placed as well…

Slowy,
@Slowy@lemmy.world avatar

The reason to care about that is to improve your chances of solving the problem. If it turns out they are doing that unintentionally, talking to them may fix or reduce your problem, pretty straightforward.
