frankly for any of them (except pics@lw) there are no more than 5-6 main posters, so if a decision is taken, it would only affect people who are following

Well yes, but I have observed that posts on this community are more related to stuff around photography (either the photographer, or the camera, etc). This does have it’s own charm.

Also one more thing, centralisation. There is !photography@lemmy.world !photography@discuss.online, and !photography@lemmy.ml. I do not know if other mods would be willing, can this be proposed to atleast archive one of them (maybe lemmy.ml, similar amount of posts as here in a week) so we can have atleast 2 big, and comparable communities.

And also, there is !pics@lemmy.world (probably most active among all these) and !pics@lemmy.ml (seemingly dead) for same-ish purpose. One can discuss with them too.

some more same-ish communities

there may be more, but these are all the ones i could find

you broke my heart, man

they are kinda a gender neutral.

Bro is fairly commonly used as gender neutral word.

Man (as in my man) does not have an equivalent (my person does not havve the ring) - but originally, man was the gender neutral term for persons, and we user mer (as in mermaid) / were (as in werewolf) for males. that is how man was used. But that very well could also be due to bias in writing and archiving of stuff, I don not know much about this.

And it came back after a few hours of working. Thhinking I may be hitting some rate limits, avoided using it for a day, and still does not work.

when you are thinking of carbon capture, i do not know what methods you are thinking off. so as a general rule, i wrote major methods of just energy generation - once you have energy, there are tons of ways to do tons of things. Basically, if you can write it in a reaction form, it would be doable, however much unfeasable it is. For example, metal extraction, is definitely thermodynamically unfavorable, but how do we do it - energy. Either by beurning stuff, or electrolytic, or chemically, as long as you are willing to give energy, reactions can happen.

This above passgae is mostly to answer your “relevancy” questions, to sum up basically - once you have the energy, it does not matter where it is generated how it is transported, we can just use it

you skipped wind power

I do not consider wind power to be a good source of energy. It is more available than hydro/geo thermal, but not less than solar or hydro (specifically gravitational hydro) power. They are huge and really expensive, and also not energy dense.

it’s clear you’re just being biased

yes i am, it is not something to shame about

Nuclear power plants require tons of rare materials built precisely or else disaster happens. Practically, they’re less clean than wind, water, geothermal, and the (for now inefficient) rare earth free solar panels. yes, technically.

Mining for nuclear ores is most definitely very destructive, but it has the extreme benefit of energy density. Consider it like this, 1 kg of coal, if converted to energy completely - maybe you can cook food for a meal or 2. 1 kg of Uranium (fissile) even at 10% conversion efficiency - you can cook for 100s if not 1000s of meals. Math is simple, chemical reactions just do not produce as much energy as fission. And this is considering very real fission of very common uranium. Think about when we can finally start doing thorium (more common than fissile U)(we can still do thorium, nothing is stopping us other than some big people trusting/investing in it). And if we ever get to fusion, increase the meal count by 2-3 orders. And fusion sources are relatively cleaner (if D2O, then basically infinite and free, and we take Berryilium, then not as energy intensive (“just” an order of 2 jump), rare, but not that much).

A nice way to reuse infrastructure

Exactly my point, instead of getting 100s of meals, we can get atleast 10s of meals, but without changing much about the plant (all the steam turbine part stays same) and this will allow to have smaller cities to also get nuclear, instead of just big cities. And also reduce the economical damage to avoid damaing working condition plants by just stopping their use.

and for carbon capture, some semi succesfull ones are pumping it underground to form carbonate rocks, it is semi permanent, as long as as not leached.

There is sadly no “green energy source”

solar power - silicon is required - good quality, and we are running out of it fast, and also tons of metals required (and also battery materials) hydro power - disturbs the surrounding too much

and many more

2 are good, but not avaialable for different reason

geo/hydro thermal - not available evrrywhere or not enough mature

nuclear - one of the only sources which is realtively very clean, can be even retrofitted to some large coal plants, but either is not allowed to be implemented (people fear nuclear, some of it is reasonable, but the hate it gets is way more) or we just do not want to centralise all this power to some people (lets say some authoritarian govt)

Did not know of this, looked up, and seems to be the case. Thanks for something new.

May I ask, Is it functionally equivalent of proprietor-ship? (share holding is with one person, but they may have employees or contractors or free lancers) or completely single person business?

You can fix all global warming if you can do carbon capture -> You would need energy to capture -> energy generation produces more carbbon -> more carbon capture?

(And i know there are some less to no energy ways to capture, this is spoken in a mematic sense)

I am not sure how, but somehow it seems to be working now. There is a possibility this is still not 100% working, but seems to be working for now.

this seems extremely clickblaity. At best, you could say a liquid which takes a seemingly gravity defying shape. There could be a billion ways to reach such shapes (for example surface tension of the liquid, and it having some bistable, or a metastable state that we achieve with this shaking)

I did this yesterday, and slept for 4 hours

gyms are still training, you are still using muscles.

We both are basically talking about same things, the only difeerence is the method of wearing of the claws - done by cat themselves (by daily using them or using scratch posts, etc) or by stimulating or accelerating the wear, by doing it by ourseleves. Maybe I am an old school guy, but to me the former seems better (animals are left better on doing things on their own). This when extrapolated to humans is a bit wierd, because we do not necessarily bound humans these days, and my point is mostly falling back to, if you raise cats, they should be allowed to be free (cared for when they are weak) but not when they are capable. This when extrapolated to humans would be equivalent of saying we should not take care of healthy middle aged people, which i do not agree with at all. I know my views are now clashing, but maybe this is because it is not easy to comment on this. There was a comment going ver domestication - it mostly went like - “we domesticated them” so now they are dependent on us.

In fact I am even more conflicted on this one - cats (indoor or outdoor) wreck havoc on wildlife around, especially near/within cities (they are basically the best predators here - small, agile and smart. In jungle there are bigger cats competing, but here they are top “cats”. And from a wild life conservationist persepective, I would never even want a cat to have sharp claws. But when I would be asked for any individual cat, I can’t resist but allow them to exist as is. Maybe this is because us humans consider ourselves indepndent of the food web, and now want to act “god” here to affect this. Maybe we are the ones to be blamed for bringing cats with us. (which we are responsible for, but I don’t know how to react to that)

forgotten

A cat’s claws are too long when they develop into a curved shape. In extreme cases of overgrowth, the claws can curve into your cat’s toe pads, which can be painful and cause open wounds.

That is an extreme case, and I think that is required pain here.

most of these things seem to indicate to me, the said cat is not doing play/scratch/hunt/climb enough. Many comments speak of this, but i think cats gradually and naturally wearing claws is better than discreetely done

P.S it is kinda a weird move to write as if SGA is not you.

the wierdities is possibly because of ai

Most cats will grind their nails down themselves to some degree, not by simply walking but by scratching against something

i know this, and that is one of my points, cats should be allowed to to gradually wear them down. Clipping is instantaneous and discrete. I knida also get to why is gradual probably better than discreet (better for hunting, and hence the pshycological benefits)

A misconception you seem to have is that a trimmed cat’s claws can’t scratch, this is not the case, a cat is still able to hunt* or defend itself with trimmed nails

I do know this, but i think we can agree, trimmed cat will have less sharp claws, and less effective in said things, they would be trying to chop a tree with a bluntter axe

An overgrown nail can get stuck and cause them to break a digit, it can make it difficult and painful to walk, it can also make the nail break off, which is painful and can become infected.

these are real things i can agree to, but my hypothesis is that these are relevant for young and old cats ( i did go about this also in the other chain).

Bold to enter the fray with no experience.

one can akways try to learn, who knows how many cats i will have in future.

That’s not even a word, but your boldness has been discussed.

ah the famous, lets fight on grammar instead of actual argument, you must be a internet veteran /s

(but seriously, dropping hyphens is somewhat accepatble now, and “at least” ~= “atleast”. I don’t use any spell check)

Nope. It’s like trimming your own nails vs removing part of each finger.

I have replied to others too, but no i dont think comparison to human nails is not very accurate, our nails are much thinner, and farther from bones, cat claws are more deep seated and wrapped around bones ( i also shared a link regarding this). To me, trimming nails seems more like scratching/chaffed on your digits (as in getting wounded, but not in a threatening manner).

I would request you to read my comments, the comparison to declawing was for trauma, rest of my discussion is about impacts of trimming (should it be done naturally/gradually, or discreetly trimming them) Most of the chain is about should we or should we not, not about why should we.

thank you for your services, I have huge respects.

Another thing I would like to ask you since you are experienced. Would one the reasons for you / your teams to trim nails be to prevent cats from hurting each other? since cats are terretorial, and you guys must have many of them, and likely not enough land for all of them, so they must “not get along”. If so, possibly trimming in your case is much more acceptable, it is preventing othets from being harmed. But should this be also applicable to some pet adopter, who likely does not have many cats. Even most indoor cats do make “trips” (read prey) outside, and the this trimming is making them less effective. 1 part of my argument is that for not trimming.

i know i can search, i know why people trim claws, question is, shoul we or should we not
