A plant doesn’t have to be native to benefit local ecosystem, parsley isn’t native, but there’s a local species of butterfly whose caterpillars love it.

OK yeah everyone knew the cops started shooting protesters, but the real mystery is who were the snipers shooting the riot cops.

The evacuation ones were basically impossible at 8+, I was shooting down 3/4 ships and we’d still get overrun.

Would you evaluate the contents of the wikileaks leaks if they had released an equal amount of dirt on Trump?

We tried no zoning except parking minimums. The result was Houston.

Meanwhile, Dev of company C driving off a bridge, getting laid off after modernizing the 90s era codebase.

Which is a shame, because if I could create tangible loss for Ubisoft by downloading their games, I would do nothing else until they went under.

Eh, I can’t fault it too much considering tires usually last over a thousand miles and most people buying a walmart bike aren’t riding thousands of miles.

I don’t agree with the general sentiment though, riding a well-maintained aluminum frame bike after thousands of miles on a slow ass walmart bike is such a different experience.

My walmart bike’s downtube failed as I was riding it up a small incline. Not even at a weld, just right in the middle.

Didn’t even know that was a part that could fail.

Had to replace the tires because the treads wore through once so it probably got more use than walmart bikes are built for.

Between every single blockchain game being awful and Starfield and Silent Hill: Ascension, is there anyone who doesn’t translate blockchain/AI to garbage cashgrab?

Who is that?

Lemmy.world ‘preemptively defederated Hexbear as a last resort’.

That’s one of the wildest ones, like it just bypasses the critical thinking part of their brains. “Yes, there’s a town in North Korea surrounded by fake fields, which are harvested by fake farmers. They all live in fake homes and go into a fake school that that has power but don’t have any windows.”

Proscribe and prescribe.

PISA is literally run by the OECD.

I haven’t looked at the data to figure out how they’re lying, but they exist to prescribe liberal policies.

Check out this analysis of the data: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/pisa-scores-by-country

I don’t know anything about the site and spent 30 seconds looking at the article, but it doesn’t present the data in a misleading way to create “always the same map” ( ) by setting the major shift in perceived color just below the OECD group and then not coloring in countries like China and Vietnam that outperform the imperial core

It says Vietnam got 468, and USA got 489

edit: Oh, that’s 2022, I can’t find 2023

Edit2: There is no PISA 2023, PISA tests every 3 years, and delayed 2021 to 2022 because of COVID.

The USA’s math score was 4 points behind Vietnam’s, but their science was 27 ahead.

Here’s a better review of the data and test in general: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/pisa-scores-by-country

IDK what Demetrious means, but polychronic means multiple fatal diagnoses, like when you have multiple stage 4 cancers.

One of the weird parts is that this is a solid fuel rocket. The USSR AFAIK never developed big solid boosters like the US.

Which always struck me as weird considering the USSR’s ICBM program was supposed to be mobile from the start and it seems a lot easier to load a solid rocket onto a truck than carrying around (and having to pump) hypergolic mixtures that eat though any container, and kill by detonation, burns, poisoning, and cancer, in that order.

Don’t they have tools to do 100 at once, and machines to do 10,000 at once?

Google doesn’t launch satallites, they buy images taken from aircraft mostly.
