  • Arctic sea ice has been consistently shrinking since at least 1980. So have the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets. The East Antarctic ice sheet has by contrast been constantly growing since records began, which is probably where you got your factoid from. But this is due to local phenomena, such as the Antarctic ozone hole, increasing westerly wind strength and increasing snowfall. East Antarctica is one of the few regions which seems to have escaped the effects of climate change (so far).

    There's almost no doubt that the world is warming overall due to human activity. The fossil fuel industry doesn't like this, so they put out propaganda to counter facts. Do your own research :).

    The "Oh no I fucked up the cross" algorithm: i hope it may help someone starting out with CFOP
  • Adding to this, M2 U2 M2 swaps the 2 opposite edges in the top layer as well as the 2 opposite cross edges. So, if you mess up your cross, you can do the entirety of F2L and OLL, then do M2 U2 M2 before PLL, also swapping 2 top edges in such a way that you "force" a good PLL (IIRC you can turn a G perm into a J perm by doing this).

  • Reddit Activity Plummeted After The Protests
  • It looks like a lot more people left Reddit than joined Lemmy or the other Reddit alternatives. I reckon most people who left didn't actually seek out an alternative and are just spending more time on Facebook/Tiktok/forum sites etc. Or they might be being productive with the time that they would've otherwise spent on Reddit lol.

  • Broken images
  • I fully support what you are doing but I'm not sure I completely get it. If the attack was against a community on another instance, why do you have to wipe images on this instance? Are images posted on all federated instances stored on the Aussie.zone server?

  • A Pretty Yard for Inspo
  • I've lived near the reserve for about 20 years and I haven't heard of anyone being bitten by a snake there (although some dogs have, unfortunately). I think accidents could happen but they'd be pretty rare. The snakes here tend to stick to the long grass and near the creek and I think most people have the sense to not go trampling through the grass during snake season.

    It also depends on the snake species. Around here we mainly have Eastern browns, which are venomous but timid. In other places in Australia snakes may be more aggressive and accidents are more likely.

  • Do you still write notes with pen and paper?
  • As a uni student I do both. I generally type notes during lectures and live meetings, and handwrite notes for prerecorded videos and other general study.

    I still handwrite because my exams are going to be handwritten and I don't want to lose my ability to handwrite fast lol.

    You can also doodle/draw diagrams when you handwrite. It's harder to do that on a phone/computer.

    I still use pen and paper because it just feels better than handwriting on a screen.

  • A Pretty Yard for Inspo
  • Aussie snakes might be very venomous, but in general they'll only bite if they're provoked. I live near a nature reserve full of snakes and it's not really an issue for most people. Just leave them alone and they'll leave you alone.
