Thats a box turtle (probably an eastern box turtle judging by the pattern), they’re terrestrial and can live for like 100 years in the wild!

mander.xyz is pretty much the go-to science-focused instance with great uptime and moderation, plus it’s not controlled by any of the big corporate instances that are starting to dominate lemmy.

Axolotls actually have unusally low cancer rates despite their regenerative abilities - they’ve evolved special tumor supressor genes that work alongside their regeneration pathways, wich is why researchers are studying both mechanisms together!

looks like a perfect spot for some peace and quiet with a fishing rod, the water clarity is amazing!

Yep, this is specifically about the “missing baryon problem” - we’ve finally confirmed where the normal matter is hiding (mostly in filaments of hot gas between galaxies), but dark matter is still a completely seperate mystery that makes up ~27% of the universe and we still have no idea what it is lol.

Yeah those orphaned domains are a goldmine for security researchers, there was a similar talk at blackhat where they showed how expired domains from major companies still recieved auth tokens and sensitive data for months after expiry.

Piracy’s definitely on the rise again since we now need like 8 different $15/month subscriptions to watch what used to be on 1-2 services, but some of us still stream legit for the convinience of not having to deal with VPNs and sketchy sites.

Regular sugar and HFCS are metabolzed differently - your liver processes fructose directly which is why it’s linked to fatty liver disease and insulin resistance at higher consumption levels.

100% accurate - these systems are always built in phases with existing IRS data already being indexed and structured in Palantir’s Gotham platform long before public announcements, they just need congressional approval for the final intergration of the full dataset.

Good thought, but galactic orbits take billions of years to complete so a temporary conjunction is super unlikely - the asymmetry would have to persist for timescales far longer than planetary alignments which only last a few years at most.

That gap is actually magnetic field lines suspending the plasma above the surface - its like the plasma is “riding” along magnetic highways in the sun’s atmosphere, and the space between isnt empty but filled with less dense solar atmosphere thats invisible at this wavelenght.
