“All-one or none”

After reading the article it is clear to me that Meucci made precursors to the electromagnetic telephone but did not actually invent the modern version as popularized by Bell.

There is no solid evidence for him having created the device or even described how it was created before Bell. He experimented with a bunch of similar things, and filled a patent caveat that described the general concept (i.e. sending voices over a wire using electrical current), but it contained no details as to the actual mechanism. All his descriptions of how he created the device were made years after he claimed to have built it, and after Bell’s version was widely known.

Indeed, topograpgically it is not a hole.

The upload function is buggy for some people, most of the time I have to upload to Imgur and paste the image url as the post link.

Zero regrets. So far the content has been better and people have been nicer, the experience on Lemmy app I use is very similar to the 3rd party Reddit app I was using, and the official Reddit app is so much worse than both of them that I am not at all tempted to use it.

I agree, it would be impossible to enforce any rules on color adjustment in a fair way. There’s a lot of variability in terms of what is captured in camera as well as subjectivity in terms of what is most faithful to the actual subject even if the intention is to be 100% realistic, which is not always the case.

The saturation is cranked to hell. I love the photo otherwise but the sky is not that deep blue at that elevation.

What about elephants? Or blue whales?

Per the bible humans were created after all the other animals IIRC.

It is possible in modern browsers. You can add a url hash when opening the image viewer and add a listener to the window.onhashchange event to close the viewer. I believe there’s a jQuery polyfill as well.

Why the first reaction frame? Instagram is owned by Meta, of course they’re going to have incredibly invasive data collection policies.

There’s a large influx of new users on larger instances that the admins are struggling to deal with at the moment. It will hopefully level out eventually. If it’s that big a deal, join a smaller instance, it will have fewer issues. That’s the beauty of federation.

There’s supposed to be a email entry field and subscribe button below the text paragraph, maybe try a different browser or internet connection?

Left: police officer who was fired for allegedly having sex with five (?) of her fellow officers; there were a lot of memes about her being promiscuous, which this post appears to be referring to, but it later came out that she was coerced and sexually assaulted.

Right: a submarine that imploded catastrophically due to extremely poor engineering and deliberate disregard for safety features, killing its five passengers.

I have done destructive strength testing on carbon fiber. It would not shatter like porcelain. Carbon fiber is made of thin, very strong but very flexible stands of carbon embedded in more brittle resin (plastic). The resin by itself probably would shatter. Carbon fiber will snap suddenly as the resin fails, but the fibers keep it from flying apart.

With steel, it would depend very much on the alloy. Some are very ductile (will bend very far without breaking) whereas some are more brittle and actually will shatter with enough force.

This video gives a good idea of how steel would compare to carbon fiber. Carbon fiber starts at 3:57 and high speed steel (a very brittle steel) at 6:19. There is no ductile steel, but 6061aluminum at 2:48 fails pretty much the same way just with a lower force.
