Tuesday is the true worst day of the week.
ryathal@sh.itjust.workstoToday I learned@lemmy.ml•TIL the United States has 94 nuclear power plants.3·11 hours agoThere’s also about that many nuclear powered ships in the US Navy.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•Pfizer Covid vaccine for young children may not be renewed by FDA1·11 hours agoIt’s probably due to the antivax stance, but it’s really worth reevaluating Covid vaccines for kids. The data really wasn’t that great initially to really support the vaccine. The risk profile for Covid in kids vs side effects of the shot is a lot different than other ages or diseases.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite sci-fi game of all time1·13 hours agoThe hamfisted explanation was also pretty bad as well. It’s not super believable that swapping heat sinks was superior.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•The U.S. can’t slash education funding and think it can compete with China31·2 days agoUS education problems aren’t funding related, at least on the education itself. The US has focused almost exclusively on raising the floor of education since no child left behind, which has been an absolute failure. It’s gotten to the point now that some districts are removing gifted classes because it’s viewed as not fair to the lower achieving students.
Funding also is largely irrelevant to student performance, beyond a floor level. The biggest problem is parent apathy, which isn’t solved with money. Other problems like food insecurity and lack of housing are problems that aren’t education funding related. A free lunch can help a kid pay attention in class, but it’s not going to solve home life or not doing homework.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•After uproar, 'South Park' pummels Trump again and hits at JD Vance, Kristi Noem2·2 days agoThis episode felt like a south park episode. The first was purely an attack on Trump, which may have been necessary, but it’s not a great episode of south park.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Comments on Lemmy should be automatically sorted by controversial rather than by hotEnglish16·2 days agoThe average post has around 4 top level comments, sort doesn’t really matter.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Mass Effect 1 is still my favourite sci-fi game of all time7·2 days agoThe first is very much a story first, combat second style game. I wouldn’t pick a “caster” focused character for a first play.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto Memes@sopuli.xyz•Still waitin for that success step to kick in 😆1·2 days agoFailure is the first step, success is the second step.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Green dildos are raining down on WNBA courts. Why? Crypto memecoins, of course.English61·2 days agoI like conspiracy theory that it’s to stay in the news cycle while Clark is hurt.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•GOP's Texas map has Austin residents sharing district with rural Texans 300 miles away2·5 days agoThat doesn’t change much, it’s possible to define this district that way.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•GOP's Texas map has Austin residents sharing district with rural Texans 300 miles away9·5 days agoYes if you elect people that agree to the majority of the house, senate, president, state houses, and governors, they tend to get their way.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.zip•Universal Adds 'No AI Training' Warning to MoviesEnglish1·6 days agoLots of people can quote things verbatim if asked, that’s not necessarily a problem.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto politics @lemmy.world•Beto O’Rourke’s Message to Blue-State Governors on Redistricting: “Quit F—ing Around and Waiting”31·6 days agoDemocrats have already been playing this game. Illinois already only has 2 Republicans in the house, California uses a jungle primary that helps prevent Republicans from winning. New York has a lot of close districts already.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your favourite video game quote?15·6 days agoHad to be me, someone else might’ve gotten it wrong.
Starship trooper is a knock off halo movie that’s more accurate to the franchise than the series.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Charging to tour rental properties...English361·7 days agoThe price at all is ridiculous. Touring a rental is a sales action. Yes you have to pay for someone to administer a tour, but that’s a cost of doing business. It’s also weird because you generally don’t pay to tour homes for purchase.
ryathal@sh.itjust.worksto Science@mander.xyz•Sex-specific differences in performance and pacing in the world’s longest triathlon in history6·7 days agoDistance running seems to get more balanced or even female favored as distance increases based on other studies, so that makes sense. This is mostly on the extreme ultra marathon scale or longer though. A triathlon would also make sense as pacing across all events is important.
It makes a lot less sense when you could make assault rifles that never overheated
