Does no one remember how sarcastic this man is?

Curious what your issues with glusencamp-perez are? I don't live in her district, but seems like she represents her constituents fairly well for how politically split the district is...but again I'm not necessarily in the know.

It's an awesome place. Come join us.

Yeah. Actually confused me for a minute and I had to go dig into all the different communities on mander.

I think it makes sense to change the display name.

What do you do for self-employment? I've always thought that being self employed would be awesome.

 

This mission will pave the way for groundbreaking observations of everything from petroleum reserves to global supplies of fresh water

Yeah. Looks good. Thanks Otter!

One thing to think about is that recently we had a few requests to create a rule about quality sources. I was always torn about it. The post with links to bad sources/bad science brought out some of the highest engagement from the whole community and spurred some great educational dialogs.

I don't like the idea of keeping a disallowed list of sources. Nor do I like the idea of debating source quality.

Well...it can be an long conversation but the TL;DR is there were several space communities and it will help lemmy grow to consolidate. Mander was chosen because they are science focused and LW holds ~40% of all lemmy users. To avoid one community from dominating lemmy we need to spread the usage to multiple instances.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has taken the most detailed image of planetary nebula NGC 1514 to date thanks to its unique mid-infrared observations

Edit: Changed source to the NASA.

Great to hear!

Seems like you're on the west coast (USA). Me too.

I'm hoping I get to duck out for a bit and take it all in after bedtime and chores. I won't be able to pull out a telescope tonight, but sometimes binoculars surprise me.

Where are you located? How harsh of winters do you get? How wet is your spring?

I've always been interested in doing this. Winters are fairly mild here in my part of the PNW, but have doubts that I wouldn't just have a mud pit in the fall/spring.

 

I currently don't have much time to put into hobbies, but I did some gardening/landscaping during a break in the rain last weekend. Felt great to get out and move around. Garden finally is put to bed for the winter (or what's left of it).

Europa Clipper is NASA’s mission to explore one of Jupiter’s four large Galilean satellites. Europa has an icy outer crust that covers an ocean world. It holds twice as much water as Earth’s oceans. So, Scientists want to know more about the habitability – the ability for some form of live to exist – on this large moon.

So many interesting things come out of NIAC funding

Foundation advice (lemmy.world)

Drawing

Red is a concrete foundation. Black is rotting wood foundation that needs to be replaced.

Foundation issues suck. House has foundation issues. Most of the foundation will need to be replaced. Part of the house currently has a wood foundation which is rotting. There is an addition which has a concrete foundation. (See image above).

I know that the wood foundation can be replaced with a pier and post foundation. They can stabilize the house, dig and pour piers, then use metal posts to brace the house at the right height.

Is a pier and post foundation the only option? Is there a way to do a concrete foundation?

Edit: The image is a top down look at the perimeter of the house. The red part is a ~600 sqft addition. The black part is the main house.

 

I can't get enough JWST images

 

Saw this new community from the landing page as a trending community. Just wanted to drop in and say that I had the great opportunity to chat with these guys as a supplier. The relationship didn't work out in the end, but these guys are just so cool and dedicated to making awesome products.

I know that my next system will be a system76 system.

Keep up the great work guys!

 

I'm not usually one to repost/post memes...but its almost believable
