I used to live in Florida and did some scuba diving off the keys. This was back in the mid to late 90s. Even then, there was coral bleaching and I saw invasive algae growth on the white skeletons and damaged coral left behind. We knew it was only going to get worse. We used to see 90 degree water on occasion and later in August usually.

Looking at these latest temps and remembering that significant bleaching starts at around 90 degrees, it really looks like this is a death knell for the reefs around Florida.

This is hired I felt too. I just finished the first book. The entire 10 episodes of the first season probably got 1/2 way through the book. There were frustrating moments in the series and a lot of drawn out plot points that were more nimbly handled in the book. The series kept some things vague and generated extra drama to keep you watching. The book focused on other things. Both were good. I enjoyed the series enough to want to read the books. But I liked the book a bit better.

I just finished watching the first season of Silo. It was good enough to make me get the book series and start reading it. I thought the tv show was a bit slow and got bogged down some. Now that I’m reading the book, yup, I can tell that it really is going much slower than the book.

I only have 22mbit where I live and no available fiber. There's no faster service either. We get by with it, but in a full household, it can certainly cause lots of buffering and bandwidth restrictions. When we worked from home, it could be a problem on occasions. I live in a decently sized community in the southeastern US. There's no excuse for this.

The only reason for starlink to exist is because telcos were allowed to ignore building out infrastructure to serve more areas. I don't know if incentives were ever provided to get them the capital to be willing to build out the infrastructure in less populates/rural areas.

Realizing that we have turned earth orbit into a garbage pile simply because we refused to step up and do right by our citizens instead of maximizing capitalism certainly stings.

Awesome. thank you so much for helping me navigate the app.

Do you know if there's some "secret" to upvoting a comment? I can upvote a post easily, but trying to upvote a comment is just collapsing the comment. I guess the icon/region is too small for my finger to find the right spot?

It's now in the same spot on my phone screen that Apollo used to be in. Well done!

Yes! Thank you! It works perfectly.

Looks good! I’m posting from it now. Excellent job!

Just wondering though… I have an account on another instance. Is there a way to set up more than one in Memmy? It shouldn’t be required, but with all the defederation comments I’ve read, it seems prudent to have more than one account so I don’t end up not seeing posts I’d find interesting.

I tend to mostly just participate by adding comments. But occasionally a create a new post/thread. So I'd say that I'm personally 85% lurk, 14% comment, 1% create/post. I tend to post in more specialized/niche forums versus the big communities. Those have lots of content already.

I roast my own beans too. I use a genecafe. It’s a weekend ritual that I’ve been doing for years. For the two of us, who both drink a lot of coffee, I roast 2-3 batches of coffee a week.
