PSA: They re-released this with less scary pictures. Definitely try to get the original

According to their “About Us” page, they were a small business that is now financed by Post Road Group and Bain Capital. Creating competition for Comcast is a great thing, but I’d bet over the years those capital partners are going to demand enshittification for profit. I’d still drop Comcast like a rock though.

The excavation in the street sounds like the same thing Google Fiber did in my neighborhood, microtrenching fiber in the street along the curb. Has worked great for me for almost 10 years now

This might come as a shock to the Lemmy community, but I have zero interest in ever learning how to code.

You’ll find all sorts of absurd state laws on the books all over the country, often as soon as something changes federally, they’re just forgotten about and never changed.

This was the law that was challenged in Lawrence v. Texas that had the Supreme Court overturn such laws nationally in 2003

My 7 year old loves Minecraft and I’ve been learning about it, but could never see myself choosing to play it independently

Your sister’s friend is going through a lot and would likely benefit from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). DBT will help them learn skills around emotional regulation and distress tolerance and it’s particularly useful for people who have developed suicidal ideation/gestures as a coping mechanism.

Lots of people experience suicidal ideation without ever acting on it and don’t need emergency intervention. However, if they ever make a specific plan or you’re ever concerned they’re going to actually try to follow through, it’s time to call 911. Going into outpatient therapy ASAP will be much less traumatic than being hospitalized involuntarily or dying, though.

80s kids play Minecraft? I was almost 30 when that was released and definitely missed that boat

Oprah’s expression kinda looks like “get away from us.” Whoever the younger woman is clearly already knows what’s up too and is telling him to fuck off with her eyes

M’lodorous

Here’s a brief review of the study results. They were only looking for association, not causality:

Long sleep was associated with reduced overall cognitive function (β ± standard error = −0.25 ± 0.07, p < 0.001), with strongest effects in those with depressive symptoms using (−0.74 ± 0.30, p = 0.017) and not using antidepressants (−0.60 ± 0.26, p = 0.024). Weaker but significant effects were observed in those without depressive symptoms (−0.18 ± 0.09, p = 0.044). No significant associations were observed in participants using antidepressants without depressive symptoms.

**Weaker but significant effects were observed in those without depressive symptoms (−0.18 ± 0.09, p = 0.044). **

This is certainly something to investigate further.

It’s been a pretty weak wildflower season due to the drought, unfortunately. That rain we had last week should help push those summer flowers out though!

I think those solar panels should be lifted by two people…

I’m in central Texas, and all my sunflowers are starting to bud! A week or two and they’ll be in bloom

You should give Strange New Worlds a shot. I haven’t liked much post DS9 and Voyager, but SNW gets it right.

Who were the “good guys” in the Syrian Civil War? Did you read beyond 2016?

I have the second most upvoted comment on that post: https://mander.xyz/comment/19100228

This is a shit take. Ahmed al-Sharaa renounced al Qaeda years ago and has demonstrated leadership as a moderate who protects ethnic minorities. He aligned with al Qaeda in Iraq in 2003 against the US invasion that most of us were protesting at home

I take umbrage with this meme’s characterization of the twist and tuck as chaotic. It’s literally the fastest and easiest method without compromising freshness
