Can’t download binaries, must compile everything from source… But then it also becomes binaries, aaaaaaah

I have an iron but no ironing board so I used to do it on my desks when trousers were really too wrinkled, but it’s been over a year since my desk has had enough room for it, I just don’t know where to put the stuff and don’t have time for that.

The largest ring of Jupiter is just about 129 000 km of radius. The nearest Galilean moon to jupiter has a semi-major axis of 421 800 km, so the rings aren’t in any of their orbital neighborhoods.

Beside, the largest of them, Ganymede, is more massive than Mercury.

But you’re right that not all the moons would be either planets or dwarf planets, many would be asteroids.

One must imagine Pluto happy.

Four of them, the galilean moons would be. The others would be dwarf planets [EDIT not all moons, many would be asteroids].

Ain’t no doubt about it that liquor is blessed

Can I go an hour without eating pickles? If I fail, I’m deleting my comment. [EDIT: It was a close one, but I made it ! This comment is here to stay ! Celebratory pickle time.]

Pluto the nium

I think I would’ve used the philosoraptor instead to make this meme. The idea guy isn’t typically used to ask questions. [Edit: I see it’s been changed to philosoraptor, nice !👌]

Yeah, it’s one of the few pebblethrow comics that you couldn’t tell are nazis if you didn’t know their other stuff, and it’s alright.

Tho I think the only right-wing cartoon that ever got a laugh out of me was this one :

I see. Well, you say you’re “not that serious” about wanting to be a biochemist, but is it still something you want ? Since you also said earlier that you couldn’t commit to something else three more years, to keep going in that track doesn’t seem like a bad option.

Otherwise, if you find a work project involving one or several of the subjects that interest you, that’d be the other good option.

I’m a student myself, and I’ve jumped a few times from a study to another, but now I’m committing to physics and I don’t intend to let go. But there’s also a few skills and fields of interest I like learning on the side… That’s not a contradiction, everyone is interested in different things and has a skill set that’s doesn’t depend only ln their work. I intend to be a good amateur artist and an informed layman on several subjects, but physics is what I want to study professionally.

Committing to something doesn’t mean you should give up on all the rest, just that you should set boundaries on what will be the thing you’ll be an professional in and the rest. Even if you go a different path, don’t think of the time you devoted to biochemistry as wasted time… It’ll have fed your culture and skill set. Maybe it’ll be useful to you, maybe not, but either way it’s not a negative thing. A choice is good if it is a choice you’ve made. And you’re not that late anyway, some have “wasted” more years than that.

Of course, I’m just a student myself, not a teacher or anything. Beside, I’m French and our university systems might be a bit different, so take it with a grain of salt.

What have you studied so far, and what made you leave the last course?

Has there been threats or suggestions of a government blocking Lemmy, or is this just pessimistic anticipation?

I have no idea how British people pronounce it, I don’t believe I’ve ever discussed water bottles with a British person. I jut saw the meme and was reminded of another meme I’d once seen.

Uh, by accident. I’ll edit the link.

I don’t find that this adage applies that well in politics. Yeah, I’ll assume whoever almost hit me with his car the other day was stupid/irresponsible/distracted rather than that they were attempting to murder me. Or that someone who gave me wrong directions to somewhere was mistaken rather than deceitful. That is because stupidity can explain these things, but stupidity on its own doesn’t explain becoming president.

Beside, if you assume he was being used by dickcheneys, you’re still assuming malice, just not from the same person.

As for which case his behavior would make most sense in, I won’t try to contradict you since I’m not good at analysing people and don’t enjoy trying.

I just tend to think of Trump+close collaborators as a system and assume the purpose of a system is what it does, and I don’t make too many assumptions of Trump’s exact place in this.

With people in power it’s always hard to say whether a bad thing they do is due to stupidity or ill-intent, tho I tend to favor the second hypothesis.

All of their actions did benefit a group. For Trump, most obviously, himself; but he also advanced the power of the American far-right and probably some companies thanks to lose regulations. For Bush, he clearly aimed to give more power to companies over things formerly done by the state, like hurricane relief or even the military. His vice president Dick Cheney famously profited from the Iraq war through the company Halliburton.

Many of Bush’s policies had a disastrous human cost, but they were very efficient at filling the pockets of a few shareholders. So was he an incompetent buffoon playing into the hands of the capitalists, or was he himself an evil schemer who willingly enriched those he deemed worthy allies at the expense of the rest of the world?

Same question applies to Trump. A narrative people like is that of the out of control puppet. An idiot that the Republican Party tried to use because he was attractive to their target demographic, but who ended up turning against his puppeteers and giving full reign to his folly.

But it’s also possible that he is a smart and evil man who’s particularly talented at playing the role of a madman and who saw it was working.

So basically, I have no definite knowledge of the intelligence of either man.

It is good.

Idk, I’ve heard government cheese was mid.
