I think it depends heavily not just on the PI and student, but the field of study and department as well.

In a different version of the article the outlet and plug were locked out. That's why the janitor flipped the breaker.

While Lakshmi waited for the freezer’s manufacturer to come perform repairs, her team added a safety lock box around the freezer’s outlet and socket. A warning was posted on the freezer, according to the court filing.

“THIS FREEZER IS BEEPING AS IT IS UNDER REPAIR. PLEASE DO NOT MOVE OR UNPLUG IT. NO CLEANING REQUIRED IN THIS AREA. YOU CAN PRESS THE ALARM/TEST MUTE BUTTON FOR 5-10 SECONDS IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MUTE THE SOUND,” the warning read, according to the suit.

The Battle for Wesnoth is my all-time favorite FOSS. Can't understate it.

 

Is there any community input on pork butts cooked via smoking or oven. I usually finish mine in the oven until center hits 205 ºF to render fat and reduce connective tissue. For me that means removing from the smoker after ~6 hours and finishing in the oven with an embedded temperature probe.

It comes out great but I'd love to hear some other preparations.

Hmm. The server is up right now. Does it give an error or just sit there?

I can say I've had horrible luck trying to sign up through the apps. It works much better through a standard browser for initial sign up.

One more for Bitwarden. You can even run your own local server and avoid using the cloud.

I joined mander.xyz because it has a central theme around the natural sciences. It could possibly include STEM content as well; there is an ongoing discussion about it. The admin(s) are present and very responsive.

For anyone with a love of science and/or nature I recommend it highly as a home instance of Lemmy.

“Like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass,” the CEO wrote.

This is true. By sheer population most Redditors never left. But I'd say a core percentage responsible for actually making content has moved on and won't be back.

It's interesting that larger wings improve thermoregulation in both hot and cold climates. Nice find!

I think extending to STEM is a good take on it. That would keep it at least academically focused and make it easy to say "communities about horror fiction authors aren't what we're going for", etc. My only concern would be an explosion of extremely niche communities that never really take off, potentially diluting broader communities. However, that's more an issue with the Fediverse in general and could be unavoidable growing pains.

I love being able to browse local and only get topics in the sciences field. It gives Mander a unique feel and I think that tone is worth preserving. I have subbed to communities on other instances that are definitely not science-based and can easily catch up on them by filtering subscribed.

New to Mander, a Lemmy instance focused on the natural sciences.

The Science of Cooking

We’re focused on cooking and the science behind how it changes our food. Some chemistry, a little biology, whatever it takes to explore a critical aspect of everyday life.

I'm not sure if this is the right community, maybe Introductions would be better. But I wanted to say my first week here has surpassed any and all expectations I had during signup.

If I hadn't taken the extra time to look at all available instances I may have missed out on having such a cool server as my base of operations for the Fediverse. Love the topics, love the user base, and looking forward to helping it grow.

It's getting better! All the time! This was just posted yesterday.

As expected, it's pretty limited. I mainly use Briess Sorghum Extract Syrup as a base and add ingredients from there. As brew bases go it's pretty mild, so it takes a bit of supplemental grain steeps to add color.

A new analysis addresses five essential questions about biodiversity — the variety of life on Earth — that need to be answered if we are going to effectively conserve nature.

The newsgroup server I'm on is actually called eternal-september.org in remembrance.
