The contents of the article must be consumed in order to discuss them intelligently, to create an informed opinion, and to pose questions that have positive worth within the conversation that ensues from its having been read and ruminated upon?

Preposterous notion.

The lions are nude, if that helps…

Are you replying to/commenting on the OP’s title? Did you not read past its first sentence, into its second, mentioning the plane?

Not NASA, Nasa.

The 3 McDonald’s menu items’ calorie values displayed add up to the sum displayed; where is there a discrepancy of 100?

How is McDonald’s wrong? A few of the others are, but where is the error on that one?

Struggling to spell, read, or write can all be signs of dyslexia…

This answered nothing… Could you explicitly state what a mouth has to do with dyslexia?

The irony. :-|

Placement of the shark’s eyes makes me question Larson’s qualifications as a marine biologist.

I was thinking the same thing. This is a fine example of the exception to the rule that you should not place the horizon in the middle of the frame.

…our word “diamond” comes from adamant…

As does our word, “adamant”. 🙂

I hope you have named these forks after Muppets.

From left to right, they are clear to me as: Robin the Frog, Kermit, Bunsen Honeydew, and Beaker.

If you’re registered at those other instances, you can create another profile(s) in Jerboa that connects to them, and then using that profile, browse by Local, I suppose.

I’m registered at both lemmy.cafe and lemmy.ca, and have profiles for both registrations in Jerboa.

Otherwise, if you’re registered only with Beehaw, I believe the answer is, “no, not in Jerboa, just with your device’s normal web browser.”

A reminder to all that the M stands for Master.

(Yes, I know it’s used in the “mastery” sense, but just roll with the analogy!)

Sounds like that disappointment has you pretty steamed.

Article ends with:

There was no independent verification of the surgeon’s claims.

The internet tells me that “plant growth requirements” are air, water, nutrients, space, and light.

Let’s imagine. The growing plant was found in a lung. It must have:

Air. Plants ingest carbon dioxide, exude oxygen. Both gasses are present in our own respiration. So that checks out.

Water. I guess water was leeched from the lungs’ blood supply, since we’re all just bags of mostly water.

Nutrients. See water, above. If the mamallian reproduction system can supply a growing embryo with required nutrients, why not those required by a fir sapling? Sure, they’re different requirements, but press on.

Space. Assuming that no other competing species of plant is growing in the lung, this isn’t a problematic issue.

Light. Ah, well. Photosynthesis requires sunlight, and I am reminded of a joke attributed to Groucho Marx, Abraham Lincoln, Nicola Tesla, and Albert Einstein:

Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read, or to cultivate horticulture.

I am as dubious of this fir sapling story as my quoted joke’s provenance.

Oh my god, thank you! It would never have occurred to me that that could be the reason for this.

What an oversight.

I also have heard Squirrel, the first time I ever heard of SQL. It was in a webinar info session for just a very superficial top-level type of understanding, really intended for nothing more than to acquaint first-tier support staff with technical terms and concepts. “SQL stands for Structured Query Language. For short, we can call it ‘sequel’ or ‘squirrel’.” (Cue stupid clip-art graphic of a buck-toothed smiling squirrel on a tree branch, holding an acorn, because what’s a webinar without insipid mnemonics?) That sort of thing.

I grokked the use of ‘sequel’, because the letter sequence S-Q-L is exactly that word, sans vowels, and even if schwas are substituted for the vowels, the pronunciation doesn’t change much.

But for ‘squirrel’ I had to imagine that they were taking the R from ‘queRy’ and injecting it to make SQL into SQrL for the sake of a cute memory device that would resonate with people who weren’t expected to have any interest or investment deeper than a front-line customer service drone.
