Has Duolingo always been this ****ing insane?
Why is Eddy so horny? I have so many question about who writes this shit.

Linux and the Fear of Change (for the stubborn gamers)
Many of us are notorious fence-sitters. This video attempts to explore some of the psychology of our profound hesitation when switching operating systems. I will share my personal experience, talk about some of the fears we face when making big changes, offer some warm encouragement, and do it all without a whiff of the elitist technobabble that tends to rear its ugly head in Linux discussions.

A contemporary guide to lowsec travel in EVE Online
I've often had to explain these mechanics to newcomers, now I finally can rest. For any ex-EVE players here, this video is probably a nice trip down memory lane. For those that don't play, this is probably very confusing.
Incomprehensible comment.
Yeah, it's still popping.
Honestly, I totally get that. But for what it's worth, the game is more than just maximizing efficiencies like this. This is just a crazy case for me.
Multiboxing is not botting. Conflating the two implies ignorance.
For context, "multiboxing" is running multiple clients at once, and usually stacking them on a single monitor and rapidly flicking through them with a program like EVE-O Preview to activate commands with the mouse in short order. It is allowed in EVE, it is not against the TOS. Some people multibox with tiled windows, or one per monitor, though, because they prefer it for various reasons.
I had issues "multiboxing" in EVE Online on Linux, but figured out a super easy way to make it work (even with my room-temperature IQ)
I love EVE Online, but "multiboxing" was tricky for me in Linux. I like using the CLI for everything I can, but get completely swamped still when dealing with cocktails like Lutris, WINE prefixes, and dependencies.
So I was super interested when I stumbled upon Bottles - it seemed to solve a lot of my issues. Then, I realized GNOME's workspaces basically did the same thing as the old Windows program I used... and that was all she wrote. It worked perfectly for me, why overthink it?
I recorded my newbie solution to (hopefully) convince other players to switch. Do you have any advice or corrections for me? Did I make a cardinal sin? Is this the dumbest thing you've ever seen? Hit me with your honest takes. <3
(EVE Online, OC) If you understand even 1% of this video, it may be time to touch some grass
I've long wanted to encapsulate these thoughts on contemporary safe spots. Sadly, this issue is terribly unimportant, and who the hell plays EVE in 2024, am I right? But the fire burns inside me nonetheless. And now it burns inside you as well. Bobspeed, Capsuleer.

It blew my mind because I wasn't expecting it.
does dbz talk shit different than other anime? I feel like everyone kind of talks shit to everybody else in every anime with heroes and villains.
I don't know. Never watched it.
Was he saying that talking mad shit was specifically compelling to black people?
That is what he meant. I interpreted it as "fuck yeah dude, that shit rules" more than "we talk shit" but who the hell knows.
I towed a guys truck one time. Nerdy fella, talked a ton. Said he loved DBZ. I fucking went for it, said "yo why did every one of the black dudes I know growing up love DBZ?" And without missing a beat he looks at me and goes "they talk MAD shit in the show man." Blew my mind.

It's super fun. The recent updates to this game have opened up an entire new world of possibilities. If you've never played or haven't played in a while, check out some gameplay footage of it, it's so much better now.

The controller support seems good, but this style of platform shooter is pretty rough in general with the swivel aim. I think you could skip this one if you are a controller user (I love them too).
Got any wise tips on how to enjoy the game, without giving anything away? I am at home in these sandboxes, but wouldn't want to miss out on something fun.
I started Starbound for the first time and recorded the experience
This game is pretty epic, even all these years later. As someone who completely skipped it but loves exploration & space games, I'm kicking myself for not having found this game sooner.
Making the video was a real treat. I've recorded a few of these episodes already, but I'll only post this one time to avoid spam & rulebreaking. My goal in posting this is to see if anybody loves Starbound (or has never checked it out and wants to) and have them vibe alongside me, drop me comments/hints, or just be entertained as I explore the game.
There's a grain of truth in here, but not quite. One in every four or so (not quite, but we can roll with it regardless) identified species of animal is a beetle. Not one in every four animals, by population nor overall species.
The reasons for this is are many, but may include because beetles are big, easy to catch, agriculturally-significant, and are particularly easy to pin and study, dramatically boosting the count of beetle species we work with on an academic level (lending to higher identification rates). There are also just a shitload of beetle species, naturally.
Scientists estimate something closer to ~10 million species of animals, which would still make beetles a huge percentage of the species, but a far cry from 25%. If you looked at the total number (estimated) of individual animals, beetles are pretty insignificant.

Your entire argument applies to books as well.
It's a bad argument.
Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus)
They love milkweed. You can attract them to your yard if you plant some. I've personally raised large colonies of these for research, they're truly remarkable insects for a number of reasons, beauty of both the larvae and adults being chief among them.
One of the more common issues that plague the Monarch is Ophryocystis elektroscirrha, a parasite that can be identified by examining a body-dust sample through a microscope. OE is passed on via spores that are consumed, and if an animal is affected by OE and undergoes metamorphosis, it will emerge with a number of defects that often lead to reduced lifespan or imminent death.
Sadly, in research environments, the only way to deal with OE outbreaks (a sign of poor control) is to euthanize the animals to contain the spread of spores. This is typically done using a freezer, which ostensibly allows the animal a peaceful death by slowing down its metabolism and numbing its senses.

Tiger beetle (Family Cicindelidae)
Tiger beetles are notable for one thing: their speed. They can move up to 9km per hour, which given their size, is spectacular (a 1:125 body length per second ratio).
Because they run so fast, they can be observed pausing after short bursts. Scientists suspect this brief respite is a way for the insect to get its bearings. But, like a lot of entomology, there are other ideas...
Giant water bug (family Belostomatidae)
These aquatic insects are intimidating-looking, with large modified forelimbs. Although they live in the water, they're air-breathers, and like virtually all insects, can fly when necessary. The modified forelegs, referred to as "raptorial" (predatory) legs, have a similar function to that of mantises — they grab and secure prey to be consumed. Preferred prey is soft-bodied, but Giant water bugs don't need to discriminate, given how powerful they are for their size.
However, unlike a praying mantis that chews its prey with a traditional insect-mouth plan made of many mandibles, since Giant water bugs are Hemiptera, they have a straw instead of "teeth." This means that they, like some assassin bugs and spiders, rely on injecting digestive juices into their immobilized prey, then sucking up the now-digested innards.
In my personal experience, these things are scarier than they look, but they're absolutely capable of pinching or piercing you with their forelimbs, and they move fast in t
Bugs - A place to talk about & share pictures of arthropods.

SIDEBAR:
All things Arthropoda (not just Insecta)!
Share pictures, ask questions, and solicit identification. Higher-quality pictures are easier to identify. Do not guess the species of an insect, use a dichotomous key to be sure.
Please understand that handling wild animals, bugs or otherwise, can be dangerous. Seek immediate medical attention if you’ve been bitten or stung by something.
