That may help its adoption ... if the name change is an improvement.

To bad the name makes it sound like terminal spreadsheet application.

Beehaw has downvotes disabled and I find it refreshing actually. It seems to stimulate discussions and the quality discussions seem to float to the top naturally.

Interesting quote:

We previously found that Enceladus’ ocean is rich in a variety of organic compounds ... But now, this new result reveals the clear chemical signature of substantial amounts of phosphorus salts inside icy particles ejected into space by the small moon’s plume. It’s the first time this essential element has been discovered in an ocean beyond Earth.

-- Frank Postberg, a planetary scientist at Freie Universität Berlin, Germany, who led the new study

Thanks. The sort does seem to work as described. But not the language. Even when set, I have to select between undetermined or English.

 

That way I do not have to select my language everything I create a post and I do not have to update my feed view every time I log in.

Just a few things that I (and maybe others) would find useful. Thanks for all of the great work!

I remember going to the theater watching this when it came out. Dick Tracy and sitting in a Pizza Hut... red checkered tables and all.

My family and I eat beans at least twice a week. In my region of the U.S. it is fairly common.

 

The Why Files never disappoints...

In December 1990, in a remote village above the Arctic Circle, two Russian scientists embarked on a daring experiment. Their goal was to enhance human “super-perception” or ESP.

They built a device that could shield subjects from electromagnetic interference and amplify their biological energy. The device was a large tube of rolled aluminum with a chair inside.

As soon as the device was built, strange phenomena occurred around the village. Disc-shaped lights hovered around the lab. Balls of energy appeared and disappeared. The Northern Lights became so bright and vivid that they seemed to take physical shape.

Inside the lab, anyone who approached the device felt an unexplainable sense of dread. It took a while to persuade anyone to try it.

When the first subject finally sat in the chair, a flash of energy erupted that stunned everyone in the lab.

The device worked.

But it maybe worked a little too well.

Not only did it boost people’s psychic abilities, it also enabled them to view any place in the world. And soon, they could view any place in time.

In fact, these experiments confirmed a theory first proposed in the 1950s. That time, as we know it, doesn’t exist.

I will get four or five in a day sometimes.

What's odd is that I never had this issue up until the last two weeks.

 

I just joined Mastodon and my feed looks like Google News: AP, Reuters, etc. Have any recommendations on who to follow for interesting content? Looking for art, science, culture, philosophy, cooking, book discussions, etc. I would like to stay away from politics for the most part. TIA!

 

Can't wait for dinner tonight!
