That’s really cool to hear. How did you get started? Did the shop offer training on it?

Do you know the title of the movies on the set? I think it might be easier to find original audio for each individual film

I would also suggest looking into this thread as a starting point on VPNs: !https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/55251807

That looks like an avocado pit to me, but I’m usually really bad at this, so take me with a truck load of salt

Great haul there. Any big challenges this season?

Let us all know once you release it

I got one of those once, I contacted the grocery and manufacturer with the receipt. Grocery store promptly replaced it, while the manufacturer sent me a box full of random goodies and an apology letter

I would be one of those readers, so I got curious and found this article from 2024:

https://www.embrapa.br/en/busca-de-noticias/-/noticia/91690274/embrapa-identifica-primeiro-caso-de-vassoura-de-bruxa-da-mandioca-no-brasil

For those unaware:

“Witches’ broom” is named as such because it leaves plant branches dry and deformed, with dwarfism and proliferation of weak and thin shoots from the stems, making it look like a dry broom. As the disease evolves, chlorosis* (leaves turn yellow due to insufficient chlorophyll production)*, wilting and leaf drying commonly occur, and eventually apical and descending plant death.

The source also has these recommendations to reduce impact of the disease:

1. Intensified monitoring and surveillance of cultivated areas for early identification of symptoms.

1.1. Early detection protocol for the pathogen via PCR and/or via HTS sequencing to support monitoring and surveillance activities.

1.2. Accreditation of labs to diagnose and index important cassava pathogens.

2. Quarantine: Implementation of quarantine measures to restrict the movement of plant material from affected areas.
3. Healthy Cuttings: Use of provenly healthy cassava cuttings, which were either produced in regions without the disease or in conditions that do not allow the pathogen to grow (e.g. thermal chambers, nurseries and greenhouses)
4. Chemical Treatment: Use of specific fungicides to control the spread of the pathogen, in compliance with local regulations.
5. Crop Practices: removal and burning of diseased plants to reduce inoculation in affected areas and decrese the incidence of new infected plants.
6. Asepsis/Sanitization of tools used to destroy plants presenting signs of the disease. A wash with water and detergent is followed by sanitization with a 1.25% sodium hypochlorite solution.
7. Bagging and promptly washing clothes, shoes and headgear worn in visits to areas affected by the disease, so as to prevent the dissemination of spores to other regions of the country.
8. Publications, videos and poster to raise awareness about signs of the disease and means of transmission.----

And Newag, the shitty polish manufacturer, fucking sued the hackers that unlocked those trains, unbelievable

That’s nice to hear, hopefully I can find somewhere to order them alongside native ladybug eggs, which like to chomp on aphids

If you have the time, this is a great article on this subject: https://www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/eliminating-contrails or this one https://notebook.contrails.org/comparing-contrails-and-co2/

Most of the warming from CO2 emissions is not due to the emissions this year, but the cumulative effect (which persists) over the past 80 years. But for contrails, the warming impact is only really from those created very recently as you mentioned, see this graph:

https://notebook.contrails.org/content/images/2025/08/2019_rf.svg

Contrails contribute roughly 2% to the world’s effective radiative forcing; tackling them would reduce that by a similar amount

We would only need to have 5% planes slightly redirected to avoid producing the most harmful contrails, which tackles around 80% of contrail climate warming avoided, and it would only cost on average $1 of avoiding warming equivalent to one tonne of CO₂

Reducing contrails does not mean we don’t also need to tackle CO2 emissions from aviation. Ultimately that is the persistent driver of long-term temperature change. What tackling contrails now would do is slightly reduce the rate of warming. It is not an excuse or a substitute for finding a way to decarbonise jet fuel.

How did you come to that conclusion? Isn’t it actually better to have more routes available? Decentralization is always a plus in my books at least, specially considering how easy it is to disrupt worldwide communication with a single point of failure

Yup, it used to be a lot more common, Not Just Bikes has a great video on this subject too and how our car dependency made most of them disappear:

Hopefully there is splitscreen this time

It sounds like you have only found badly designed roundabouts to be honest. Not Just Bikes probably has a video dedicated on how a good one should look like, including priority signaling when appropriate

If I were to bet, they’ll probably dyke their way out of any problem related to rising sea levels

Are the fuses extra protection? The ballast bypass diagram I found didn’t mention it

Which one are the fuse holders? The black or white plastic pieces? The orange one look like twist connectors

TIL about randomizers. Time to go back into the cave with my favourite games from the past, tyvm

They are already at their destinations seen that there is no traffic to block them
