  • Their chromatophores will relax when they sleep, and adjust to the light when they wake up. We would let our chams free roam in my wife’s huge window garden during the day and you could see the split in their colors where one side would be dark from the sun and the other side was still light.

    Their primary “camouflage” in their leaf like movements.

    Veileds don’t need that high humidity, btw. They are from Yemen, after all.










  • “Can’t you just shoot them? Just shoot them in the legs or something?” Trump allegedly asked about the demonstrators protesting the death of George Floyd

    Trump publicly praised Montana’s then-Rep. Greg Gianforte ® — the state’s current governor — for previously assaulting a reporter. “Any guy that can do a body slam, he is my type!” Trump said

    Trump used violent rhetoric when referring to protests in Minneapolis in the wake of George Floyd’s killing, tweeting, “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”

    “stand back and stand by.”

    Rick Santorum - “I think the right approach is to accept this horribly created — in the sense of rape — but nevertheless a gift in a very broken way, the gift of human life, and accept what God has given to you… rape victims should make the best of a bad situation.”

    Richard Mourdock - “I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.”

    Clayton Williams - “Rape is kinda like the weather. If it’s inevitable, relax and enjoy it.”

    There are thousands more, btw.


  • I was wondering today if singularities might actually be the purest form of “nothing” and the mass of a blackhole around that void is what is keeping that void from collapsing, kind of like a massive traffic jam. The space would have to be perfectly empty: No vacuum energy, no gravity, no fields of any kind.

    Yes, this is a silly idea and just a weird thought experiment, TBH.

    However, it’s much more easy to visualize than a traditional infinite singularity since it can be rationalized in a simple 3D space… It’s just a ball of nothing.

    Hell, even if the void was the size of a pinhead, the entire force of the universe would be “squeezing it”, trying to move energy into a space that contained none.

    Ok, that probably broke a few hundred thousand universal rules of physics, but it’s easy to speculate about something we can’t see or study.





  • I noticed this when a correction was made to some blocks not being stored and implemented correctly. (A previous report of mine, actually.)

    The problem you describe is double-edged. I personally want to block something immediately and scrub it completely from my existing feed. The refresh is welcomed in my case as there might be multiple posts from the same community or user.

    This probably requires a feed refresh for multiple reasons. The first I can think of is for performance and the second reason is likely for code complexity and CPU cycle reduction.

    I would vote to add a menu opinion to purge and refresh the feed after a block since I can see the advantages and disadvantages to both settings.



  • My average intake on a slow evening was a 9 or 15 pack of Coors pint cans, so 144oz or 240oz.

    These days, I stick to water. However, you probably have never seen someone who can consume as much as I can, casually. I’ll drink two pints of water at the refrigerator when I go for a glass, then fill that again and go back to doing whatever I was doing. (I won a ton of beer drinking bets. A pint of whatever is easily drank at between 3 and 5 seconds. My ability to consume any beverages is basically superhuman and likely a contributing factor to my brush with alcholisim.)
