Some species with flower repeatedly, some are growing for 30 years to build up enough energy to flower once and then they die.

They can’t make it themselves. Little fire cucks. That’s what made us really pop off. 14 billion years and only planetary scale forces could do that and then boom, some monkeys figure out if you hit two of the right rocks together in just the right way you can start fire anywhere anytime.
Plenty of creatures have sticks. We’re monkies with fire, nothing else has that.

World News@lemmy.world•Iran war halts Qatar helium output, threatening global tech supply chainsEnglish
0·11 days agoThey’ll extract the helium then pump the hydrocarbons back down. Extracting helium from the moon is going to be big business some day. Its loaded with helium 3 which is the best helium. Would be a waste to be used in anything but fusion reactors but that might be the only helium available. Then there’s also the possibility of companies running fusion reactors not as a power source but as a means of element production.

Science Memes@mander.xyz•It turns out that Juggalo makeup blocks facial recognition technologyEnglish
0·13 days agoI was trying to figure out where edm fits in to that but yeah, it was mainstream by the 90s. Started in the 70s, by the 80s there were defined raves for edm. But its hard to look at rave culture/edm as a whole since its so old and widespread. UK edm was different than US edm which was different than Latin American edm etc. Then all the divides within edm. House ravers didn’t want to go to hard style raves. Hard style ravers didn’t want to go to trance raves, etc.

0·13 days agoI grew up around a lot of juggalos. The music is kind of just a small part of the culture, it really is an entire culture, one based on acceptance of anyone. At least in the 2000s there wasn’t anything else like that. Old heads gatekept punk, they had officially declared punk was dead. Metal was mainstream. Eminem was the only “credible” white rapper because he had street cred from Detroit. If you didn’t feel like you fit in, the juggalos were there saying you’re welcome here. If you decide to call yourself a jaggalo, then you are, and you’re apart of the family. No interrogations about what music you’ve listened to your whole life, when you got into a specific scene, what socioeconomic background you have.
And yeah your second point about rap is 100% true. I saw $uicideboy$ come and go. I remember in like 2014 they were underground, I really fucked with them. They made over 500 songs, had a huge following for the time, and were doing great. Then they signed onto universal to release iwtdino or whatever in like 2018. Never felt more betrayed. I really fucked with yung lean too, but he straight up said he was going to sell out. He was gonna get money. I respect that. $B are just corpo shills now acting like they’re underground while being the most mainstream corpo rappers to exist currently.
If you just want to plink in your backyard then just get a BB gun that shoots steel BBs. And only use iron sights which will teach you instinctive aiming. I’d say that’s actually way more fun than a scoped air rifle. If you’re not going to be head shorting squirrels then you don’t really need the accuracy of a dialed in air rifle. Looking in a scope at a piece of paper and shooting the same hole looses its appeal pretty quickly.

This warhead has been around for years. The Ukrainians tested it on Russians for the US. The US has been using them on all the “drug boats” in the Gulf of Mexico and Pacific. Watch any of the footage, you’ll see the blast pattern of the tungsten in the water around every boat.
