Yes, that’s the short of it. Each pixel needs its own wires, readout, and processing chain, and resources are limited on the spacecraft. The cryostat (instrument that keeps the pixels cold) only has so much cooling capacity and all the wires add thermal load.

Future missions are planned with more pixels (Take a look at the EASA Athena mission and its X-IFU instrument), and to reach that goal they are using multiplexing methods to allow more pixels to run on fewer wires.

My dog had double TPLO a few years ago, it changed his life. He was 3 years old and almost immobilized, low quality of life, and the surgery brought him back to normal after recovery. Our vet recommended doing them one at a time to help with healing. His play buddy got the same surgery almost exactly the same time but both legs at once, and had some pretty severe complications. Anecdotal I know, but it did play out just as our vet described.

Procedure cost around $10k all in. It’s expensive, but worth it for the dog if you can.

A normally very NSFW comic called Oglaf. Brilliantly written, but don’t browse at work.

I had this exact thought earlier today. Either curated directories, or a ground-up, vetted search engine that only pulls from pre-screened sources.

Also, since you said What?

Makes more sense with the prior comic.

Serene! Is that you in the picture or did you take the picture of a buddy? Paragliding?

Really bizarre and sad. Strange dissociation - he had the clarity to warn the flight attendants he needed to be restrained or he would do it again, but also couldn’t stop himself from trying the emergency exit later?

Just a strange story all around. He blames it on having taken mushrooms 48 hours prior, but that seems a stretch to have this affect. Regardless, seems like a major mental health problem.

Thank you for the clarification and your hard work! Like others I prefer compact (strongly), so I’ve rolled back to 0.6 for now but will check back once it’s available in 1.0.

Also prompts me to download, on iOS with memmy.

Since it’s banned I can’t see to verify the claim it was “unmoderated”. Can anybody confirm or refute? Any recent screenshots would be nice. I’d lean toward this being a convenient excuse they used to get rid of a troublesome voice, but would appreciate context.

Appreciate the piped link!

Missing a link or picture there?

Another small quality-of-life feature that’s nice about Lemmy.

You’re probably right, I’m just avoiding it for good now. And guessing the mods would remove any questioning posts from r/programming. R/outoftheloop would likely help, but again, I’m done giving them traffic or content.

Replying from Memmy beta, love it, thanks for all your hard work!

"I personally think it’s absolutely disgusting that lead has been allowed to be used in aviation fuel decades after we banned it everywhere else. I strongly considered NOT becoming a pilot because of the pervasive use of leaded fuel. "

Definitely agree, I had similar feelings starting out. I wish the FAA would drag its feet less, but am glad it’s finally making some progress. With this fuel as an option, I expect more municipalities will follow Reid Hillview (KRHV) and will force the issue.
