@adapalmer Good news towards an attainable goal (as we have seen from very encouraging results from Sweden and elsewhere). Most cervical cancer (and some other ailments like head and neck cancers) are caused by the HPV virus and are preventable.

@dougmerritt I went the other direction: learned sed first and only later discovered there was an interactive version of sed (that is, ed). @ed1conf

@kha Looks like you had about 44 minutes of bliss before the lack of cinnamon powder started brainworming you. (at least it was 44 minutes based on the interval between those two toots)

@ameresolicitor.bsky.social Have you not heard of the understanding epidemic?

New solar-powered clam just dropped, part of a small club that partner with algae in their bodies for food! Geloina expansa lives in mangroves in South Asia and farms algae called zooxanthellae in its gills, the same type that corals partner with in a process […]

@kingtor I don't really know but I would have thought that Match Game would take a well known joke format and riff off that. @wayword

@icecolbeveridge Raising them right.

@chrisnelder Will offer a bit of a disclaimer for those of limited means (as in, I don't want this network to exclude them). But for those able, totally agree. @waltbaldwin

@debamlen.bsky.social I did get one emoji reaction out of them, but, all in all, a pretty muted response.

@iftas Surely this will be overrun by spam in 3.....2.....1.... (Actually I'm not curious enough to make a serious effort to check but that's the fate of most internet connected anythings which haven't really thought much about things like rules)

@debamlen.bsky.social I passed along your post to the pumpkin spice fan club at work. I am preparing myself for a string of outraged responses but 3 minutes have elapsed and there are none yet.

@kangmeister It does seem like a step forward and being done thoughtfully. I especially liked "An emphasis on high-quality expositions"

@crankyflier.com Nice to see Circium and flightradar24 data as part of this article.

@AquaClaire Ooh let's make sure the #clamFacts hashtag also knows about this structural yellow color in clams.

@mudri Yeah, I recently had to do a fresh reinstall of PopOS to repartition my disk (had to restore all data from backups). I mean, fortunately @system76 support was quite helpful (the preinstalled OS on hardware from them was the one with a now-too-small boot partition). But I had some of the […]

@dantheclamman Roses are red
Violets are blue
Except it is more of a purple
Because of the anthocyanins

@oantolin I keep waiting for there to be a larger scale migration to the #Threadiverse (PieFed/MBin/etc). But apparently network effects are large (and/or the Threadiverse has its own, different, problems).

@TeaKayB The British are slightly perplexed and wondering why you think there would be a connection between the spelling and the pronunciation. The non-British are like "who is Milton and what is a Keynes?"

@lane_ass_jenna People ask me why I carry around a huge heavy backpack. The answer is that it contains, among other items, toothpicks.
