I read about that in an old comment on reddit years ago, but thought maybe it was FUD from a user that didn't want transplants to move there. Seeing you mention it again is finally getting me to look into that story.

EDIT: Damn, it's legit.

I know the focus of this article was on the Dam and water sources, but I'm still kinda surprised the Grist writer just passively described the farmer's 300 acres is used for alfalfa (and oats), which is itself responsible for the majority of water use in the west. It's deeply unsustainable, and I would've thought it appropriate to at least point it out in the article, but c’est la vie.

Zveno project (en.wikipedia.org)
submitted 2 days ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Zveno (Russian: Звено, a military unit "Flight") was a parasite aircraft developed in the Soviet Union during the 1930s. It was the brainchild of the aviation engineer Vladimir Vakhmistrov. It consisted of a Tupolev TB-1 or a Tupolev TB-3 heavy bomber mothership and two to five fighters. Depending on the variant, the fighters either launched with the mothership or docked in flight, and they could refuel from the bomber. The definitive Zveno-SPB using a TB-3 and two Polikarpov I-16s, each armed with two 250 kg (550 lb) bombs, was used operationally as a strategic weapon system with good results against targets in Romania during the opening stages of the German-Soviet War. The same squadron later carried out an attack against a bridge on the River Dnieper that had been captured by German forces.[

Thanks for taking over !podcasts! :D

As for tagging, at least on PC with the normal Lemmy-ui, when I type @LibertyLizard (or just @Liberty) and then do nothing, a menu pops up next to it with names which I can click on, and that will autofill the correct formatting to tag the user in their inbox.

Also @[email protected] may like you as a co-mod over on !nolawns, never hurts to ask ^^

They used c++ initially since it was spawned from SerenityOS, which was designed to be a mashup of win2000 and unix.

now that Ladybird is its own project, it's not constrained to that goal, and they have said they will incorporate modern languages.

AFAIK, arizona stopped that practice. Not sure about California though, and they certainly are still blasting out almonds.

It's a shame the Archive version isn't quite as high fidelity, though in a way it sort've adds to the charm.

Yes! I love David's docs. It's a shame some of them were lost in his house fire a few years ago. :(

Cheers for sharing this here, I've watched about half of the first episode, and I'm quite enthralled. Old docs from the 70's like this are my favorite.

Agreed!

Interesting tid-bit that surprised me when I learned it; not only does he run this medieval living channel, he's also the owner of the Rebellion game studio.

She had a (non-cancerous) brain tumor, which she did a few videos about treating. I hope that's behind her forever as well. :(
