Trying to reinvigorate !superbowl@lemmy.world and !anime@lemmy.ml .
SuperbOwl migrated from Reddit but nobody was doing anything with it. I try to post at least one owl a day. Currently I’m posting one owl rescue a day for each US state so people can visit and support them in person. Today is #11, Hawaii.
Anime communities seem so dead in Lemmy. There was finally an active thread last weekend, so I wanted to try to start another one this weekend.
I enjoy that I can no longer tell if you are serious or not!
What a country! 😂
I had heard the kiwi stuff, but you had me second guessing myself!
I did look up the island names since I had never heard Aotearoa before, and a few of the blurbs say there are a few hundred actual islands that make up New Zealand, but it seems nobody can agree on an actual number because they all have a different estimate.
Lol, you two have me picturing literally just 3 bats in the whole country and the middle one being upset he isn’t biggest or smallest and is plotting to take one of the other 2 out.
Thank you! Those are some pretty significant facts. I’ve got much to learn about things over there!
Thank you for all that! As I said, we don’t seem to get taught much about that part of the world. LotR is probably the only NZ thing I can recall of the top of my head, which is pretty embarrassing.
The only one I know off the top of my head is the coelacanth that I was thrilled to get to see a preserved one at the Smithsonian.
There’s some more I found. The bird in this article is the prettiest of the list. The others may be a bit underwhelming.
I’m from the US, and usually all we hear about Australia and New Zealand is of the scary, deadly animals. I’ve been happy to see so many articles on Lemmy about all the work they are doing on endangered animals like this bird and the bandicoots.
I’m also surprised that so many of these programs seem to involve indigenous people. I don’t know much about that part of the world, but I wish we would involve our native people in things like this. It feels we still keep ourselves cut off from each other. It makes all these feel good animal stories into feel good people stories.
That’s horrible! What a shame. At least they owned up to doing it, but that had to be devastating to anyone in the recovery effort.
I don’t block too many things, because there can occasionally be news related to a topic I have no interest in that is still interesting. Like I have no interest in sports, but if there’s something big like a scandal or arrest or some great play it mistakes, it’s fun to catch that stuff.
The main things I outright block are anything NSFW that is definitely not for me, but mostly it’s just about all of the meme communities. The amount of material those groups churn out is overwhelming and so many just seem so low effort. Things like programming humor generally don’t bother me much, but most are just meh.
Bio Char vs Charcoal: 6 Key Differences
Similar, but more refined process to achieve specific characteristics in the end product, like oil>kerosene>diesel>gasoline.
This article hints at a lot of interesting things, but doesn’t really go into any of them. I’ve learned a lot trying to answer the comments here.
That’s just because right now used coffee is trash and sand isn’t. If you remember back when bio diesel started getting popular, all of a sudden people were stealing fryer oil from restaurants. If you see a smelly looking black dumpster behind a restaurant, that is the used fry oil.
I wish they had a bit about that in the article itself, but they did link another article about biochar creation and its byproducts. I linked it in another comment here.
I feel there’s a lot of assumptions here that no one actually reads articles.
Nice work. I tried to thumbs down it, but it wanted a log in.
It’s a shame someone can read articles from decent sources and still be so ignorant.
The article they link about pyrolysis is worth a read too. The main source of CO2 emissions from cement production is cooking down limestone into lime IIRC. I was curious how much energy is used to turn the biomass into the end product and what waste is generated. It’s a bit too detailed for me to understand, but the process ends up with 15-25% biochar (the stuff they’re promoting in this article), some potentially useful byproducts, and some regular combustion pollution.
I’m glad to see research into this. Sand for concrete is a specific type of sand (nice and bumpy so it likes to lock together like a jigsaw puzzle) and people get killed by what are basically sand cartels. This was the “legitimate” mob business in the last season of Barry.
Portland cement is about 2/5 sand, so we’ll need to start drinking more coffee! I was glad to see they’re testing other organic matter since coffee is very susceptible to climate change, ironically caused in a large part by cement production. Unless you believe the reader comment on the article begging people to realize climate change is a hoax…
Top for me have to be the combo of Aniyomi and WVC.
Aniyomi is a Tachiyomi fork that adds anime extensions. Tachi is great as is, but after Anyme shut down, I needed something to watch and track anime with MAL integration. Plus if you read manga, I’d assume you watch anime too. App and extensions receive regular updates.
WVC aka Web Video Caster. Chromecast any video. I have watched soooooo much stuff on my TV through this. Great controls and features, frequent updates, and they’re on Reddit to talk to directly if you have issues or feature requests. Great team of people and wonderful app. First premium app I bought.
Bring! is a close third. Works on Android and iOS so me and SO can both share a shopping list every since Google screwed theirs up. Was great when Google Assistant was linked to it, but Google broke that too. Still a great app though. We get notifications when the other person adds an item in case one of us is running errands already.
Came here to say stuffies. There is also Rhode Island clam chowder. All the other seafood was good too. Stopped at a public house that had free oysters that changed my mind about raw oysters.
The Breakers mansion tour was also cool.
HP Lovecraft’s grave is there. I enjoyed looking around Providence at night thinking about it as part of his fictional universe.
I went to the Roger Williams Zoo.
There is a vampire grave people leave stuff at.
Also went to some museums and Block Island, but they just had a fire so that may be closed or difficult to get to right now.
Très chouette!
