But as a result yeah, often referred to that way in common culture.

King_Bob_IV@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Trump might have to ask foes like Trudeau for emergency eggsEnglish61·2 months agoIt’s two cartons of eggs, each container is a dozen and a half. Eggs are normally in units of a dozen so keeping that as a consistent unit across multiple brands and styles makes sense. Costco normally indicates how many things are packaged together more than the overall total. It’s useful to know the format.
If it was on tray of 36 eggs the would have used 3 dozen and the indicator to keep it consistent with the standard unit of eggs.

Basically just another Voyager excuse to ignore the premises of the show unless they happen to be bored that day.

King_Bob_IV@startrek.websiteto NoSafetySmokingFirst@sh.itjust.works•Choose abortion life killsEnglish4·2 months agoAs much as I like making fun of anti-abortion idiots this sign is clearly angled so that from the normal approaches you can only see one side at a time. Let’s make fun of them for actually stupid shit they do not force more.
They are rebel military governors of a station that seceded from the earth government. The media in question is a part of a propaganda wing of an anti-democratic authoritarian government they are under blockade and misinformation campaign from.
By no means are they saints nor are they anything but military governors at this point. But in their defense the station was a military installation and they later go on to form a democratic government and cede control of the station back to it. So it’s definitely a show that has a stand up to those giving immoral and illegal orders vibe. Not saints, definitely military and wield it heavily sometimes. But overall the message is one of following the democratic process and respecting the freedom of the press.
The rest of the episode is centered around Sheridan allowing the freedom of the press and then getting burned in the end by the propaganda machine twisting everything that is said an seen to their own advantage. But still ends on the note that they were right to open up and right to believe in continuing to be open.

Civil service it can make a huge difference in the long run if you retire vs get dismissed.
King_Bob_IV@startrek.websiteto Politics@beehaw.org•Acting social security head who denied access to Musk team leaves agencyEnglish6·2 months agoAs much as that is a wonderful sentiment. Retirement vs firing might make a substantial difference in their quality of life i. Retirement whereas getting fired is a symbolic gesture that may or may not have any impact at all. I can understand trying to make sure that personally you come out as on as possible.
King_Bob_IV@startrek.websiteto UK Nature and Environment@feddit.uk•John Swinney rules out reintroduction of lynx to ScotlandEnglish3·3 months agoFrom my limited understanding the removal of an apex predator can cause role effects through a good chain. First their primary preys will tend to over populate. Then the food sources for this pretty well get devastated by the extra consumption. Then any animal or plant that relies upon whatever food sources can collapse as well.
The example that was explained to me, and please give me some grace as this is me remembering this from a zoology course in college a decade ago, I a burn in Yellowstone national Park.
Birders had noticed that a population of a small songbird had collapsed. When wolves were reintroduced to the park they started to bounce back. Turns out the birds only beard in a particular your of shrub. That shrub was getting over eaten by the elk population despite it not being a prefered food since. The elk were heavily overpopulated and devouring less preferred food in much higher volumes because there were no wolves to keep the population in check. So when wolves can’t back everything started to balance back out.
This is a pretty straightforward example of how interconnected the average food web in an ecosystem in. These kind of role effects can spread well past the immediate area where a key species is removed. But hopefully it can help show how one species can be so critical for an ecosystem. I don’t know about the animals in this case, but I suspect it would be something like this.
I always carried purple, none of the guys I knew would steal a purple lighter and I always knew which where mine.
