If you farm livestock intensively, you trash the rivers. If you farm livestock extensively, you trash the land. There is no good way of producing more a tiny quantity of animal products.

In the same day, JBS was exposed for abusing 13 year-old children during overnight slaughterhouse shifts and being the biggest buyer for one of the biggest slash & burn ranchers in the Amazon. This is the world’s largest meat company. It controls 1/5 of the US cow & pig market.

@CarmenHandiego @ithayla Dave Strider, which would probably be a cliché if I wasn't transfem

Aight trans folks what was your first post-transition costume? I tried to be Ramona Flowers and even dyed my hair for it 💇‍♀️

@ithayla have a system that performs 1000N operations for a dataset of size N, that's actually preferable to one that does (N/100)^2 operations if you know your dataset could be large, because quadratic functions approach infinity infinitely faster than linear functions do.

@ithayla resulting infinity is. That is, a set that grows 2x as fast results in twice as large of an infinity. In practice this gets solved w/ calculus and in my field (computer science) it's really important to be able to compare infinities for stuff like complexity notation. If you ...

for those interested in infinities, some infinities are bigger than others scientificamerican.com/article/a-deep…

@ithayla I discovered a couple days ago that Fallout 3 is 5 times larger on Gamepass or Epic than on Steam because it installs a full version of the game per language. Even the old games are getting bigger now

it sucks how much hard disk space games are allowed to take now. 100 gb to keep 1 game installed that i might play six months from now.

@squeakadeeks obviously not always an option. And ofc if doing anything outdoors you want to be careful not to leave any contaminants behind other than the fumes. Not a cosplayer but miniatures involve a lot of the same materials (2/2)

@squeakadeeks Absolutely forced air flow if indoors. Depending on the material that can just mean fans blowing in at one window/door and out another (paint, plastic cement), or handling the materials under a hood and venting directly outdoors (3d printing). Outdoors is best but (1/2)

heres a question regarding cosplay/material safety, when something says "use in a well ventilated area" what does that mean to you? having a fan running? working in a larger room? open windows? windows + fans? explicitly outside/never indoors?

@z0mbievalentine I'm not advocating for keeping the blue light filter on btw, permanent blue light filter is v much just necessary given my life choices

@z0mbievalentine If you keep it for long enough it doesn't even look yellow any more, everyone else's devices just look absurdly blue

i have spent MONTHS being annoyed because my laptop doesn't display colors accurately and i just checked the display settings and you know what. you know what. i had a blue light filter that was turned on by default. this whole time.

@krippopotamus Worst thing about the last one is that there's almost certainly something that doesn't work and you don't know what it is yet

@ithayla There comes a point where you need to just remove all your window screens and start climbing in and out through those

the longer you stare at this the worse it gets it's like the rosetta stone of torture house design. THE LIVING ROOM DOESN'T CONNECT TO ANY OTHER ROOM. YOU NEED TO GO THROUGH A BATHROOM TO REACH THE MASTER BEDROOM?? WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE GARAGE??

@z0mbievalentine You can give it your own award, no one can stop you

Just looked it up and apparently Mortal Kombat was not nominated for ANY Academy awards despite being my personal favorite film from last year

@FreyjaErlings Badge of honour bestowed upon him by fourth graders after defending an elementary school

@z0mbievalentine No such thing as too early for boba, don't be silly

asking for a friend whos campus convenience store has started selling boba tea

how early is too early for boba tea

125k/yr as starting salary would be on the high end for computer science undergrads, what major did that person even have in mind?
