  • just a guess

    No footpaths or streets were used between the dwellings, which were clustered in a honeycomb-like maze. Most were accessed by holes in the ceiling and doors on the side of the houses, with doors reached by ladders and stairs. The rooftops were effectively streets.

    • this would protect houses from any animal that can't climb a ladder or the wall itself (also if they pull the ladders up, from anyone who doesn't have a portable ladder)
    • if houses are constructed in clusters, that would mean one less wall to build (maybe 2)
  • +1 for fedora kde

    I've tried dozens of distros this year. Kept arch for my personal use and fedora for shared. Fedora was the easiest to setup with everything working as they should out of the "box".

    unless you use a touchscreen, don't install gnome

  • "Burning ice". Methane, released by heating, burns; water drips.

    also called … fire ice,

    Originally thought to occur only in the outer regions of the Solar System, where temperatures are low and water ice is common, significant deposits of methane clathrate have been found under sediments on the ocean floors of the Earth (around 1100 m below the sea level). Methane hydrate is formed when hydrogen-bonded water and methane gas come into contact at high pressures and low temperatures in oceans.

  • A mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer were asked to review this mathematical problem. In a high school gym, all the girls in the class were lined up against one wall, and all the boys against the opposite wall. Then, every ten seconds, they walked toward each other until they were half the previous distance apart. The mathematician, physicist, and engineer were asked, “When will the girls and boys meet?”

    The mathematician said, “Never.”

    The physicist said, “In an infinite amount of time.”

    The engineer said, “Well... in about two minutes, they'll be close enough for all practical purposes.”

  • also, i challenge you to choose a Wikipedia article that you think is interesting and make your first lemmy post here on !wikipedia@sh.itjust.works

    please read the community rules before posting, it would take less than a minute

  • according to the article that's the "modern understanding"

  • i saw some horrible things

    both have the same prompt: 👅👄👀
    the only difference between the two is the guidance level (5, 10)

  • If you study art history just a little bit, you will "see" that artists are mostly troubled spirits.

    Today we're expecting artists to be role models, while a great majority seems to be comfortable with presidents being sociopathic conman pussy grabbers (), genocidal maniacs (Natenyahu) or whatever Putin is.

    Artists were often nourished by transgression. Most of them were (are) surviving as marginals and when they were (are) lucky to leave behind some of their works (instead of being forgotten completely) it's not so that their lives can be judged by moral codes of whatever era some narrow mind can find their selves in.

    You're lucky, if you find yourself in front of a Rodin sculpture to admire the work.

  • much bigger than i expected

  • i thought anarchists were abstaining from voting? /s

  • i was interviewed too when i was renting in Paris. What a shit show!

    worst i heard was about a landlord who invited all the "interested" at the same time for some kind of a MCQuestionnaire 🤷

    renting games! Be the best or stay out with the rest 🙃

  • I cycle daily and drive once or twice week.

    When I’m riding a bike and break traffic rules, i do it carefully and slowly; knowing that those rules are made mostly to protect users from motorized speed (and mass that's unnecessarily getting even bigger with each passing year)

    When I’m driving a car, i never break traffic rules; knowing how dangerous a car is.

    having wrote that, I see bikers and e-scooters running red lights into traffic, forcing cars to stop in order not to kill them. I don't get it.

  • Nantes is wheat fields 🤔 all of Normandy and Brittany too

    my bad, for paris i had to zoom a little bit more

  • how urban dwellers get hammered!

  • where is California in all this?

    why exclude Paris too?

    seems too arbitrary… what are the criteria?

  • this theme may interest you @allo@sh.itjust.works

    can somebody repost this? allo blocked me for some incomprehensible reason

  • like i wrote under your last post, install netGuard as a VPN and activate "manage system apps" which will permit you to block google calling home

    also, with ADB you can uninstall almost anything (be careful!)

    you can also choose a dns which would block those (mullvad, for example
