Alright lemmings and kbinotaurs, you know what we need to do.

State poverty levels were also tightly linked with pediatric firearm death rates, the study found.

Are you blocking the individual users, or the domain? I’ve heard that domain blocking is buggy, so try unblocking any domains and see if it helps. It also isn’t supposed to block instances, just posts that link to the blocked domain.

It’s not “the official futurology instance”, it’s “the official r/futurology instance”:

This is a sibling community to r/futurology on Reddit, set up and moderated by the same people.

I had been trying to grow these two:

• kbin.social/m/Animemes / /c/Animemes@kbin.social
• kbin.social/m/anime_irl / /c/anime_irl@kbin.social

They were reasonably popular on reddit, 3m+ and 2m+ subscribers respectively. I started posting once per day to each of them soon after I migrated over, though my meme stash has mostly run dry at this point (I do have a bit more to post to anime_irl). There are some regular posters in anime_irl now, but animemes has been pretty dead since I stopped posting. I’ve also promoted them in the usual places.

There’s also my own community, kbin.social/m/specialized_instances / /c/specialized_instances@kbin.social, for cataloging topic/location focused instances. It works fine as a solo project, but I wouldn’t mind having more suggestions of things to add to the list.

I feel like the microblog feature would be more useful if we could get a separate feed/filter that doesn’t include the tags of magazines that you’re subscribed to. For example, I’m subscribed to /m/fediverse because I want to see the threads that people post here. I don’t necessarily want to see every mastodon post tagged #fediverse, though.

It also looks like we can’t subscribe to a tag by itself, without subscribing to a magazine that includes that tag. So yeah, some more separation there would be nice.

but as failed experiments go, this one hasn’t cost anyone $44bn

Funny you should ask. I recently created a community for cataloging specialized instances. Its got a pretty big list of them.

You’re wrong, your spouse is right.

Thermal energy is required both to raise the temperature of a mass of (in this case) water, and additional thermal energy is required to change its state from liquid to gas. This additional thermal energy is spent without creating any actual temperature increase, but it had to come from somewhere.

In this case, the thermal energy for the state change came from the surrounding air. The energy didn’t come from changing the state of the air, so it must have come from lowering the temperature of the air.

As others have noted, this only works in low-humidity environments. If the air is already saturated with water vapor, no more evaporation will occur. This is why high-humidity environments feel hotter: your sweat isn’t evaporating to cool you off.

Hey now, anarchists don’t deserve this slander. Moderation typically falls under freedom of association/disassociation, which we’re strongly in favor of. The people you have a problem with are the ones that think you should be forced to listen to them, which is pretty contrary to the anarchist ethos.
