Concerning the current breakdown of…nearly everything, it’s important to remember that some of the dumbest people imaginable have been in charge of both our government and every industry of the economy for years. Something like this was bound to happen eventually.
@benlockwood Also though, some of the smartest - often kept down through congressional budgets, etc. And of course Trump and the Republicans destroying professionals recently.

@dgar but … she is bavarian. 1870 bismarck bribed bavarian king ludwig ii. - with the money of the northern states "good morning, by this new needlefired guns you are prussian now, please hand us your cash" - that bavaria became part of the reich. ludwig was in debt as he build castles like crazy and bankrolled wagner. so do our variety of the texans really have to count as german?

👀 Stanford Daily: Gil Duran warns of Silicon Valley’s political influence

@gilduran Does that serve as a sort of klaxon warning to the soon to be dropouts there? It’s as if two dozen turtlenecks cried out in horror.
@theteapixie Yeah, interesting... not even a conditional GLP-1 removal, it's a "not covering this anymore". Just the one employer though, must be driving healthcare costs.
@ai6yr @theteapixie they’re all doing that and hiding behind “market trends”
Just like with working from home, GLP-1 drugs increased the quality of life for so many people that the US said “nope only rich people can have that”
"Prohibited" areas are extremely rare in US airspace. There are only a few of them - the WH and Naval Observatory, for example, but not major military bases and other places you might think of as very sensitive. There are a few oddballs, like Mount Vernon and a large swath of northern Minnesota.
It's almost impossible for civilian aircraft to get permission to enter a prohibited area, and breaching them is taken VERY seriously.
@mattblaze wtf is up with Northern MN? Like a giant military sized hotdish?

Tuatara Week, #3:
The tuatara has very, very strange teeth, completely unlike those of any other reptile. Their jaw anatomy (aside from the rows of teeth) is more like a beak than a typical mouth - the large protrusions in the front that resembles a rodent's incisors are actually an extension of its premaxillary bone. No other reptile has anything like it, and this is actually an example of a tuatara trait that is distinctively *not* primitive. It is specific to rhynchocephalians (the name literally means "beak head"), and is an adaptation the order developed considerably after they and the rest of the reptile family tree diverged.
The rest of the teeth are, however, primitive - and are quite unlike those of other reptiles. Turtles don't have teeth at all, crocodilians have socketed teeth similar to those of mammals, and most lizards and snakes have teeth attached to the surface within a groove in the jaw (incidentally, it is likely this precise groove that laid the groundwork for later venom delivery mechanisms). Both crocodilians and (most) lizards can replace their teeth throughout life; if a tooth is damaged a new one simply grows out.
Tuatara teeth are simply sharp protrusions of the jawbone that jut through the gums. They do have enamel and some other features of true teeth, but they're an *incredibly* simple setup, which they have inherited directly from so ancient ancestors that they're our ancestors too.
Tuataras have added another trick of their own, though: They have *two* rows of upper teeth, that the lower teeth fit between. When they bite down on prey, they slide the lower jaw back and forth, with an action similar to a saw or a bread knife.

The three of us who maintain Fedify (@z9mb1, @2chanhaeng, and I) have all submitted proposals to the Social Web devroom at FOSDEM 2027. I wonder how many of us will get to give a talk. I'll probably talk about implementing portable objects (FEP-ef61) in Fedify, @z9mb1 will cover how Fedify has evolved over the past year and what lies ahead, and @2chanhaeng will talk about DrFed.
@exchgr I wonder if the kids today have any idea what "here's Johnny!" refers to.

@mattblaze oh, I did not know that about northern Minnesota. Looks like big parts of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area / Superior National Forest are a "prohibited" area. I would guess that is to prevent planes from landing on those lakes, many of these areas also have a motorboat prohibition.
@carstenfranke Yeah, that particular one is unique - the prohibition was created by an act of congress.
