Love these birds. My first bird in flight photo was a great blue heron and it’s one of my favorite photos.

Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes@lemmy.zip•[All] What's your favourite Boss visual character design?
5·8 days agoThat Hoarah Loux reveal was very cool. He doesn’t need an axe. He’ll just rip you apart with his bare (bear?) hands.

Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes@lemmy.zip•[Discussion] Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend and what's a question you haven't gotten an answer to yet in a Soulslike?
3·9 days agoIt’s not bad but pretty short and I heard they ran out of money.
It’s basically a parry game which I’m not the biggest fan of since it forces you into a single play style. The first boss took the longest to figure out the parry timings and since I started playing on Hard it was a lot less forgiving and you have a lot fewer tools in the beginning.
By the third boss I was getting the hang of things.

1·11 days ago$200k isn’t sufficiently rich:

Do people you know just not like their kids? Parents generally really like their offspring.
There’s definitely some biology involved. For example, women can forget the pain of childbirth.

1·11 days agoI think then it would be a good question to ask why families with 1 or 2 kids why they don’t have more.
I’d say the main reasons would be:
- Money: Even the most child friendly countries only cover a fraction of the cost of raising a child. As far as I’m aware, they might cover daycare, but that still leaves a ton of chores. And again, the standard might be you want to have a room per child, plus a guest room.
- Opportunity Cost: Taking leave will pause your career. Taking two years off in your 20s can really delay career growth, again leading to money issues down the line.
- Higher standards for marriage and stability: This might not be directly related to money, but maybe we can blame capitalism ruining everything including dating apps.
So governments might be able to move the needle a bit with these families by providing extra support.

2·11 days agoThe idea that people felt they have “comfortable income” to have 5 kids while working 6 days a week at a coal mine and living in a one bedroom apartment but can’t have kids today because they can’t put each one in separate room is just silly.
Is it though? The standards are much higher now and there’s a lot more effort put into raising each child. That’s literally a standard people have now.
A lot of people want to form a family. They want to have a kid or two.
Isn’t this my original point? I didn’t say everyone wanted to have an entire litter. There are plenty of people who want to have a family without sacrificing opportunity.

2·11 days agoHave you considered that developing also means everyone is too busy focused on becoming a productive cog? There are much higher opportunity costs for women even with token benefits from the government. I’m saying that the benefits aren’t nearly enough since every developed country has to compete in the same rat race.
Look at birth rates by income, for those with a very comfortable income, the birth rate is higher.

59·12 days agoHumans have a natural drive to procreate (not just have sex), so if your population doesn’t want to have children, maybe look at what you’re doing to make them avoid this natural proclivity.
I’d argue the only real solution is a longer leave for both parents without affecting their careers. But it’s generally just not doable with their corporate culture.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Did you go to college, why or why not?
1·12 days agoYes for electrical engineering. Got a job pretty easily at a job fair before graduating which ended up being something like 10% hardware 90% software. Eventually went to a biotech startup at about the same mix, and now in big tech building websites so 100% software.
I’d say the time at the startup was the most fulfilling, but the benefits I have now outweigh any downsides.

81·14 days agoThis might be a warning against Russia from using their submarines again Ukrainian shipping in retaliation to Ukraine’s strikes on shadow fleet vessels.
So far they’ve used an Iskander but that’s probably uneconomical. Now it might be even scarier for a Russian sub to sail around in the Black Sea, of which I think only 3 can be operational.

This paper is apparently referenced in the Wikipedia page for HF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofluoric_acid#cite_ref-28
The pain isn’t from the acidity. It’s from the fluorine attacking your nerves AND bones.


There are some sensors that have each color stacked vertically instead of using a Bayer filter. Don’t think they’re popular because the low light performance is worse.
