The spiral was created after the rocket’s first-stage booster, which blasted it off the ground, separated and the upper stage took over, he said.

As the booster fell back to Earth, it vented leftover fuel, which froze into reflective crystals.

“These crystals caught the sunlight, creating the bright spiral pattern in the sky,” O’Donoghue said.

“The spiral shape happened because the tumbling rocket was spinning as it released the fuel.”

I think the video is from Ukraine looking at the Ukrainian sky.

Based on some assumptions (the list of your comments a mod deleted and the responses to your deleted comments that weren’t deleted), it really looks like you went out of your way to start a fight when you were corrected about how to refer to a marginalized group.

My suggestion would be to block the community and move on. You don’t seem to be able to follow their rules and they don’t want you there.

I made a comment a few days ago about Russian artillery loses being over 94% of there prewar stockpile. I don’t belive NK has sent more than a few hundred (500 maybe), so I think you’re right and Russians are able to repair a non-negligible amount of the systems.

Thanks for your thoughts on the subject.

I want to know where they are getting them from. Based on the number lost they should be scraping the bottom of the barrel already, not increasing usage.

Maybe the “destroyed” artillery is salvageable if you combine a few “destroyed” artilleries together. They are behind the front line so they could be able to recover most of them and try and repair them.

Any thoughts?

ReportingFromUkraine had a video a few days ago that mentioned Russians putting up netting like this near Pokrovsk (possibly different city/area). The Ukrainians used artillery to destroy a portion of the net and then sent in the drones through the gap.

I would suggest starting the invite process with the people who were in the community before it went awry. You can also make a post about how you’re starting a new community in the old community and explain what will be different in the new community. I belive this happened recently with the “196” community becoming the “oneninetysix” community when the mods made decisions the users didn’t like.

Being mod of the new community would allow for removal of unwanted users. Additionally, if you were admin of the instance, you could block other instances that had users that tended to not match your stance on issues.

Hopefully, that helps.

That’s awesome to hear.

Hopefully, the newest reddit influx will be able to settle in without any/too many issues.

You appear to have asked a vague question and people responded on what they thought you meant with your question.

You seem to be interpreting that as people trying to take your money rather than seeing that what you are looking to understand and what people are answering do not line up.

Another user has already given you other information that looks like what you were looking for, so I won’t bother reiterating.

I just want to say that I hope in the future you’ll try not to assume people interacting with you are trying to take advantage of you and there may just be a disconnect in the conversation.

Regardless, best of luck with everything :)

I don’t know how big the “wave” is but !buyeuropean@feddit.uk has jumped to the 11th(?) most popular/active community in the last week or so. The activity level reminds me of more niche subreddits, where you’d see a couple posts every hour through the day. Quite an increase over what it was at.

I also recall seeing a chart of a German (?) instance that had linear growth and over the past week it went exponential. I doubt the exponential growth will last more than a couple weeks before going back to linear, but still cool to see.

Edit: Added link to the community.

I agree with everything you said.

I’m thinking/hoping that this new wave of Europeans going to European instances will help spread out the centralization of .world and .ml, now and it’ll hold into the future, but we’ll see.

Hearing that several people have started country specific instances also gives me hope in this. With country/geographicly specific, topic specific, and just general instances, I think/hope it will lead to a more balanced user base.

I need to know a bit more what you are specifically asking to answer appropriately, but I’ll guess in the mean time.

I’m assuming you asking about starting an instance without hardware. My understanding is that many of the top Lemmy instances are hosted on server farms (companies) rather than self-hosted on their own hardware. Hosting with a company would be essentially renting their server to run your software (Lemmy). You would have control of all the software decisions (instance admin), but would not own the hardware.

I’m not particularly knowledgeable in the area, but the above is my understanding and hopefully that answers your question. If not, let me know and I’ll try again :)

Also, I believe the !buyeuropean@feddit.uk community just posted in the last couple days a list of European companies that could be used to host Lemmy instances.

Edit: added correct community and link.

What you’re worried about is basically what federation was built to stop.

If you don’t like the moderation of a community or other aspects, you or anyone else can make a new one on the same or a different instance, if you want.

You can even make it “private” (not federate) to keep others from coming in and recreating the problem you just fled.

I think that means it evens out and doesn’t count against you. Loophole!

This is a great read. Thanks for sharing it.

According thr graph, Russia is out of 94% of their prewar stock of artillery systems. I don’t know how many they have been able to produce (I recall hearing around 250/year), buy (recall a few hundred from NK in the last shipment), or repair (???).

My guess is that you have significantly exhausted the extent of your interests and common interactions. It happens.

That’s to say, for example, you’ve read, seen, discussed, etc. almost every sci-fi series in existence. There’s some you haven’t interacted with but you would have hit the new ones and all the significant older ones. In which case there’s really nothing left for you to consume besides minutiae/very small things (you ran the well dry).

The same can said for interactions with people. You’re having the same conversations you’ve had before. Sure some of the specific details change but the core remains the same.

If this at all sounds right, I’d suggest expanding your interests and social circle. For interests, I’d suggest something close to your current interests and look up the highest rated components of that interest to look into. Using the Sci-fi example, fantasy may be a good place to look and Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Mistborn, etc. maybe be good places to start.

For people, expanding your social cycle can be tough. If you haven’t already you can try and pair an interest of yours with a group that focuses on that. Example could be RPG gaming and joining a Table Top RPG group. Another option is taking classes in a new interest. You’ll likely meet new people with a similar interest as you. Another option is volunteering. There’s lots of organizations or mutual aid societies out there that would welcome additional members. That’ll give you new people to talk to while helping others (win-win).

Regardless, best of luck with everything :)

A can a day seems a bit much to me. We did half a can a day for 15lb cat (not fat, just big).

You can probably eliminate the wet food entirely if you pour extra “juice” from your meals onto the dry food.

I’ve always kept a bowl of watsr and dry food filled and then given them wet food once a day.

Never had any issues with them throwing up. Hopefully, someone else can provide insight into that.

I would suggest taking a second test to be sure, but the line showing up means that the target of interest (ex. pregnancy protein) is present.

Faded or “light” lines can be due to a variety of issues, but basically boils down to lower concentration of target reaching the colorimetric reagent.
