The egg start to decompose and produces gas. Some of that gas escapes through the shell, so the egg's mass decreases, which causes the density of the egg vs water to drop.

Assuming you have a sense of smell. Anosmia affects about 3% of people - probably more since Covid.

I'm still very happy with the experience, especially the UX and customisation options, and they're developing new features fast. Not always successfully at first, e.g. the recent integration of WolframAlpha isn't entirely a step forward (mostly because they're not displaying the extra context that WA shows that lets you know when it's answering the wrong question).

I think overall most people are very happy, as shown by the frequent recommendations on here (so much so that someone on Lemmy was telling everyone it must be astroturfing).

Such a huge amount of work for a "joke", even the write-up contains rotatable 3D diagrams. Lots of interesting stuff in there - I wasn't planning on reading it all but there was nothing I wanted to skip.

There seems to be a bug in that the deleted comment by ava223 is still showing on Photon: https://lemdro.id/post/lemdro.id/6258304

Welcome back, Taskmaster! I only managed to watch this last night, but at least the next one's not far away.

It's so weird hearing Nick Mohammed's real voice and accent after seeing him for years on Cats Does Countdown as Mr Swallow.

Integrating a jump plugin looks great - I've been using a plugin in Firefox that does this for the last few months, so I'm looking forward to getting this in the muscle memory.

This is surprisingly hard!

I'd assumed it was already legal - the Thais are very progressive with some stuff in this area.

This is a great little piece, although relevant to developing generally, not just Rust.

Who won? I think nobody really.

Good summary.

There's a British quiz show called Only Connect that finishes with essentially this puzzle, except harder (with plenty of red herrings), timed but unlimited guesses until you have your first two groups, and extra points for naming the connection (even ones you failed to find).

We play NY Connection like we have to figure out the connection before entering the group, but we often end up with a final set of four that we just have to assume is some American references like NFL teams (like yesterday).

edit: There's episodes on Youtube, I've linked to the round I was talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nBpjx06hrQ&t=21m

https://wafflegame.net/daily has the colours from Wordle but instead you start with all the letters for several words and have to swap pairs of letters until they're in the right place.

edit: I've only just noticed that this is a BestOf post, not your own question 🤦‍♂️

Maybe if that site's also hosted on an old phone running Termux.

Lemmy lost my full reply, so I'll just point out that your chart "proving" MBFC has some pro-centralist agenda (news to me) is from a different source and doesn't agree with MBFC data (e.g. MBFC has the Daily Mail as very right and low accuracy).

I can't see this "news" reported anywhere else and The Sun is notorious for making stuff up. Gonna file this in the ignore bin.

edit 2: Mea culpa, I don't visit rags like The Sun but if I had read this article I'd have seen that they do cite their (credible) source.

Edit: I'm surprised MBFC even gives it as much as "mixed", but it does mention this:

The Sun is a daily tabloid newspaper published in the United Kingdom and Ireland. In surveys, The Sun is considered the Least Trusted UK news outlet.

We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and those interests it is our duty to follow.
Lord Palmerston, House of Commons, 1 March 1848

People says Kissenger paraphrased this with "America has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests" - afaik there's no evidence of this but either way the quote's older than he is.

Good meme, wrong community for it though.

I'm not subscribed to any of those communities, but I occasionally see that content and I'd be against it being blocked entirely. I appreciate that you might get legal advice that overrules my preferences, though.

I think season 4 was the peak, and it looks like that's a common opinion: https://www.ratingraph.com/tv-shows/game-of-thrones-ratings-26649/

The episodes remain highly rated until the last season, although those of us who had read the books were complaining more before then - for me it was the combining of characters in a way that created plot armour, which ruined a big part of what made GoT great.
