The latest version is great! There is a slight delay for the upvote to register, where the post dims, before I can swipe the next post, but that seems common across the apps so it's likely Lemmy.

You have to download the APK.

Here is the list of apps https://lemmy.world/post/465785

Here is the latest APK for Thunder on the bottom of the page https://github.com/hjiangsu/thunder/releases/tag/v0.2.1%2B10

I watched it last Thursday and didn't realize it was the last movie in the series. I haven't icky seen a couple other IJ films and rarely see movies in theaters, last was before covid.

I really enjoyed it and thought it was well done. The pacing was perfect, I fully understood the plot and at no point was I confused. There was clearly a lot of call backs and references I didn't get, but I was impressed. Plus seeing Ford shirtless was hot af

You can use your World account to post in communities on a different instance, but if you want to join that instance you need to make a separate account.

It's best you have one account on World, go to the top where it says communities, search under all, and subscribe to what appeals to you. You can still interact with the other instance with no issue.

Instances are completely separate servers. The downside is if World goes down, then you can't do much, but you can login to a Blahaj account and still use Lemmy like normal, except access World posts. So the idea is to create your own instance and customize your feed, if a major instance is down it doesn't impact your ability to browse instances that are still up.

No, I blocked those communities that talk about Reddit. My feed had been pictures and memes mostly.

I love how World and Blahaj are lgbt friendly and anti authoritarianism, unlike .ml.

Kbin doesn't have that option. I have kbin and thinks it's better than Lemmy but there's not enough customization or apps at the moment for me to make that switch.

[–] Mewtwo 2 points 1 year ago

Not at the moment. You can only select three sort type for posts and your default homepage. But these are in the works.

Thank you! I'm really loving Thunder and it's become my favorite app. I really love the swipe feature but tend to downvote on accident. Connect has the swipe go from upvote>save>reply, can you implement something like upvote>reply>save and make down vote a click? Or maybe down the line we can create our own swipe order? Also, the spacing for swiping on Connect is more ideal.

I know that Lemmy is having an issue with registering votes, but is there a reason why some of my upvotes are blue/red?

I thought it said trans enthusiasts.

Using a single gas-stove burner can raise indoor concentrations of benzene, which is linked to cancer risk, to above what’s found in secondhand tobacco smoke and even to levels that have prompted local investigations when detected outdoors, according to a new study.

For the peer-reviewed study, researchers at Stanford’s Doerr School of Sustainability measured benzene emissions from stoves at 87 homes in California and Colorado and found that natural gas and propane stoves emitted benzene that frequently reached indoor concentrations above health benchmarks set by the World Health Organization and other public agencies.

In about a third of the homes, a single gas burner on high or an oven set to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes raised benzene levels above the upper range of indoor concentrations seen in secondhand tobacco smoke, the researchers found. They noted that similar concentrations, when identified in 2020 near schools in Greater Los Angeles and the Colorado Front Range, led to investigations by the authorities there.

“I found it startling,” said Yannai Kashtan, the lead author of the study, “that concentrations that were enough to trigger a public outcry when they were detected outside are concentrations that we’ve found repeatedly inside, just from stoves in people’s homes.”

A mounting body of research has documented significant indoor air pollution and negative health effects from gas stoves. Gas stoves emit other harmful pollutants like nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and formaldehyde and can also leak methane, a potent greenhouse gas, even when they are turned off. A study published in December estimated that 12.7 percent of childhood asthma in the United States was linked to gas-burning stoves.

But the latest study, published this week in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, was the first to focus on quantifying the benzene that comes off a stove’s flame in the process of combustion.

The United Nation’s International Agency for Research on Cancer and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency define benzene as a human carcinogen. Breathing in the chemical can increase the risk of leukemia and lymphoma among other serious health effects. Doctors say no level of exposure is safe.

The Stanford team measured emissions from the food itself, frying up some fish, as well as bacon, and found negligible benzene emissions. Emissions in the home from electric and induction stoves are also negligible, the Stanford research and other studies have found.

Background: Stoves have become a ‘culture war’ issue. Concerns over the health effects of gas stoves have already prompted some cities and states to seek to phase out gas connections in residential buildings. The federal government is moving to strengthen efficiency standards for gas stoves.

Still, the issue has become politicized. On Wednesday, House Republicans pushed through a bill that would prevent federal funds from being used to regulate gas stoves as a hazardous product. The measure wasn’t expected to pass the Senate, but underscored the divisiveness of the issue among the nation’s politicians, despite the science.

Mr. Kashtan, a Ph.D. candidate who is the lead Stanford researcher, noted that the study focused on single-family houses in California and Colorado, which tend to be larger than apartments in big cities such as New York. More recent testing by the Stanford team detected higher concentrations of some pollutants from gas stoves in tiny New York kitchens and found that those pollutants quickly traveled throughout the home and lingered, sometimes for hours.

Dr. Janice L. Kirsch, an oncologist and former investigator on a large-scale study of childhood leukemia who was not involved in the Stanford research, said the levels of benzene the researchers found coming off gas stoves in peoples’ homes were alarming.

“We knew that when you burn methane, you get benzene. But to actually do the measurements is groundbreaking, and levels are higher than what was expected. It’s way more dangerous,” Dr. Kirsch said. “Benzene is the stuff nightmares are made of.”

What concerned her particularly was that mounting research showed how people were being exposed to harmful chemicals both outside their homes, from things like traffic, factories or wildfire smoke, and indoors.

But inside, at least, people have somewhat more control over their exposure. “That gives us a way forward,” Dr. Kirsch said. People could buy relatively inexpensive induction hot plates, she said, or use toaster ovens and electric kettles when possible. “And ventilate,” she said. “You have to ventilate.”
