Going to depend how much stronger than the local winds are to a thunderstorm.

If I may make a suggestion - with a parachute.

With no parachute they just go down for a couple minutes. With a parachute they go up and down for hours, in the middle of a hurricane.

Whenever you see a post. And remember when you post it shows you your post so you must post after you post.

Most people I’ve seen using it as their personal pronoun would probably laugh if they were presented with an option for It with Cousin Itt representing it.

I would probably add an option for “thing” with a disembodied hand as well.

They are just AC units in reverse. The biggest effect humidity is going to have is on how much condensation is going to form on the exterior radiator. That’ll form frost that’ll have to be melted in a defrosting cycle. That’ll decrease performance and efficacy. Low humidity should keep that to a minimum.

Numbers going up does feel nice and a post not gaining any traction can be disappointing.

Nice thing about Lemmy is it is so small that local and global new feeds are actually usable. Even new communities with no subscribers can get plenty of views from those alone.

That’s exactly why it needs to be something you are willing to explain. It makes their stories better.

It’s very much not okay. In general, imposing labels on people is a bad thing. Doesn’t matter how much better someone thinks they know, people get to explore their identities in their own way and at their own pace.

When I see someone imposing the egg or trans label I generally point them to the egg prime directive here.

When someone is just told they are trans, that opens ground for denial; it activates defense mechanisms built by internalized transphobia, and it has a high probability of pushing them further into the closet, if not making them outright transphobic. Even when it doesn’t, it leaves ground for their own subconscious to reject their dysphoria, claiming that they were just manipulated or deceived. The much more effective strategy is to talk about your own experiences with dysphoria so that they see the common grounds and come to their own conclusion about their gender. The code doesn’t forbid helping them to explore their gender; it forbids assigning a gender to them. Or, to put it more succinctly, you cannot be told what the Matrix is; you can only be shown.

As to why some people don’t follow that. Either they don’t know better, in which case educating them should fix it, or they are simply [epithet of your choice here]. Any community of sufficient size will have bad actors in it.

How are you tracking them to other sites? There’s not really anything that links a user account to an actual person in the data that gets federated.

Hopefully nothing.

Some tucking techniques use tape to keep things in place.

You are forgetting how they: █████ ███ ██████ ██ ███ ██████ ███████ ██████ ███████████ ███ ████████ █████████ ████ ██████ ████ ██ █████

Surveillance, recon and range of weapons has drastically changed. Satellites have the capability to identify a surface fleet and long range weapons are now able to be fired from long distances, find and hit their targets.

I think a couple submarines can effectively negate a carrier task force by just forcing the task force to keep their distance by the threat of a missile launch coming from a patch of seemingly empty see. Any surface ship hunting them is at risk of suddenly becoming the hunted themselves by the submarine or by any land based defense system that are in range.

Do they need to be able to fight across the entire Pacific? Their most likely adversaries are right next door and their most likely ally is the dominant naval power already.

I any money spent on a large carrier would probably be better spent on other things. You can spend 10 billion on a single carrier or get a fleet of ~100 F-35s. I would guess mid-air refueling and more planes will get more sorties over likely targets in a conflict than a carrier would.

I also don’t think carriers are going to be the dominant sea power force in a future peer conflict. I think the submarine will dominate the next war. The carrier will be regulated to power projection after the sea is won and made safe to operate in.

It not usually into the airspace. Just into the air defense zone which is over international waters. It’s the nation-state equivalent to “I’m not touching you.”

The Soviet Union/Russia have a habit of sending submarines into Swedish waters.

I believe that’s officially a variant rule. The system itself works fine without a grid. It can be done completely in the theater of the mind.

The grid is just commonly used because it simplifies movement and positioning greatly.

Yes, why waste so much time trying to prosecute obviously protected expression?
