Father; husband; mechanical engineer. Posting from my self-hosted Lemmy instance here in beautiful New Jersey. I also post from my Pixelfed instance.

Just a little frazzled from my toddler nephew harassing him all afternoon. He took it well though so he earned all the Thanksgiving extras that came his way.

Weird creeper or not, why does it matter if anyone has that kind of permission?
My wife and I have been doing these for a while, but it will be my kiddo's first 5k. If it's not worse than today then we should be okay.
Do you typically get permission before privately enjoying a photo of an attractive person?
Smelling good in here.

The option I see is mutual versus seed only. Is the difference that my bot account won't subscribe to new communities in seed only mode and therefore what I see when viewing All won't change?
What are the implications I need to be aware of when setting up my instance with Lemmy-Federate?
Lemmy Federate is a tool to federate new communities in the Lemmyverse.
Can my humble, single-user instance handle it? Are there any settings I need to be careful about? Should I just backup my server and wing it?
Maybe the dads are supposed to work double shifts.
I think even just getting rid of at-will employment for expectant parents and people with dependents would provide safe incentive for having more kids.
How does threatening women with forced hysterectomies even make sense? Is the solution to increase birthrates not as simple as implementing policies that just make having a family easier, like better job security and shorter work days/weeks/years?
Does the LLC's gross income get taxed or just the profit?
The mutually assured destruction we need in the world.
It's been unseasonably warm and dry this fall, so this snow is welcome.

Recently, the glymphatic system has been recognised as an important ‘waste solutes transport channel’ within the brain.1 Studies have shown that blockage of the glymphatic system leads to increased beta-amyloid deposits, accelerating the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).1 2 Given th...
I like the idea that it might become regular maintenance to get our brains unclogged.
I have also observed that women tend to be messier than men, but keep in mind that it only takes one person to ruin a bathroom. Also, I can't say that it doesn't have more do with cultural, regional, or generational factors than sex or gender.
What I've noticed on two Samsung phones, my dad's and my wife's aunt's, is that the Samsung messaging app silently fails and some messages don't get sent or received. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the OS of the user on the other end, but in my dad's case he wasn't getting messages from my mom who has an iPhone. Switching them to the Google Messages app solved the problem.
Appreciate some help with a bong joint replacement
Can someone help my man out?

> First, I have no idea what some of these things are called or I think I know but I'm also second guessing myself the whole time. Also, I've never bought glass from anywhere but a local head-shop. For instance, this bong is almost 20yo. Please forgive me, if I apply incorrect nomenclature to any of the parts. > > My bong's inner pipe, I think it's called a joint, broke several months back. I searched online shortly after but there were so many variables to consider that it kind of seemed overwhelming. I'm hoping there's someone within this community who has experience replacing a bongs' hardware. I have some measurements and images with the measurements included if anyone needs to see them. All of the measurements below are approximate mm -> inch conversions. > > - Depth from rubber grommet to lowest part of chamber: 115 mm, 4.5 in > - Inner glass diameter (joint?): 14 mm, 0.5 in > > - Inner glass diameter (bowl?): 8 mm, 0.3 in > > - Diameter of lowest chamber (don't know if this is needed): 107 mm, 4.25 in > > - Diameter of bowl chamber (don't think this matters): 30 mm, 1.25 in > > I would appreciate recommendations you all have for reputable glassware replacement sellers (from first-hand experience, preferably). In addition, I don't think the depth of the join needs to be that long, that's just the max depth. Thank you in advance for any suggestions, recommendations, or numbers to filter for when finding a replacement!
Light-powered catalysts destroy ‘forever chemicals’
> Per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) have been found to contaminate the global environment and have been implicated in a wide range of health problems. But the tough carbon-fluorine bonds in the compounds resist being torn apart, leading to expensive remediation schemes that rely on powerful chemicals and high temperatures and pressures. Today, two groups report in Nature the discovery of catalysts that could offer a cheaper way to clean up the chemicals. When energized by light, the catalysts break down a wide range of PFAS compounds at low temperatures and ambient pressures.
Is there an option for Pixelfed admins to allow text-only posts?
As a user on my personal instance I can see text-only posts when others boost them to my timeline, but I cannot make them except as replies. Maybe it's for the best, but I still would like to make a text-only post from time to time.
Seems like a simple task to help verify that you are not a bot. It might also help deter applicants who are anti-communist. I guess you solved the problem for yourself by choosing a different instance.
I mean, for example, engineering a rhinovirus that spreads normally, but is able to inoculate hosts against zika.
Can harmless viruses be engineered to deliver vaccine payloads for different, actually harmful viruses?
It would be nice to just be automatically vaccinated for everything just by hanging out.
