Tina Belcher is my spiritual guide on this issue. Nothing wrong with a little erotic friend-fiction becoming reality.

Cloning, once you have done it once, is a dead simple process, relatively. Figuring it out the first time was hard, but since Dolly (the first cloned sheep, born at University of Idaho) there have been high levels of publication on sheep cloning specifically.

Anymore, anyone who can parse reasonably complex instructions and has access to the kind of facilities any large animal vet might have could do this. It takes more money than I personally command but an even slightly well off person could afford it.

What is your favorite extinction event, and why? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Ooh, since this is a safe space for dorks, I would like to be pedantic myself. Thank you for the opportunity. The oxygen catastrophe was caused by cyanobacteria-like organisms, which are photosynthetic, but are not plants. But it’s true, all bio-mass matters!

The Azolla Event. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azolla_event. I mean it is cool and the major climate shift it helped create certainly caused some extinctions. But plants can change the world, never forget!

Overboard, right?

Interesting enough, Morgan’s widow became one of Joseph Smith’s plural wives. It’s a small country.

What's the latest interesting thing you've accomplished ? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I finally got a widget I modeled in OpenSCAD to print correctly in my resin printer. The shape is such that supports were really challenging.

It’s interesting to me because I have graduated from the ‘tchotchkes’ phase of printing into the realm of making functional parts that further my other projects.

Trying to get Cthulu’s tentacle-beard to print correctly was a good exercise, but designing and printing a useful part feels like a real step up.

TIL about Cultural Cringe, where people view their own culture as inferior to others in c/til@lemmy.world

As a person raised deep in the Mormon culture in our lovely Deseret, I get it. Being bisexual and independently minded made it impossible to stay in the culture, but damnit, it is still part of who I am.

So many complex emotions that you need to use German to try to describe them.

The purpose of a system is what it does, after all.

Why local elections matter more than the presidency (civicinfluencers.org)
 

This is US focused but the principle of being involved in local issues is universal to all democracies.

Can I rant for a minute?

Why does every thread about voting devolve into bitching about the flaws of the Electoral College?

Fun fact: the Electoral College only pertains to the Presidency and there’s almost nothing you can do about that directly.

Think local, that’s where you can make a difference. Your local school board has the power to either support students or drive them to suicide. Local races frequently turn on a handful of votes.

So go ahead, sit out the election because the choices for president stink. I humbly submit that your superior moral stance may not be based on very firm principles. That trans kid down the block didn’t need your help anyway. /s

I played this game back in the 00’s and had a pretty good time. My friend group was quite creative at the time so everyone got it. It was a raucous good time.

I’m just contemplating trying again and was seeking experiences and maybe tips on pulling off a successful session.

A City on Mars: Reality kills space settlement dreams (arstechnica.com)
 

A book review on the latest Weinersmith creation. It’s true, there is so much we don’t know.

Just throwing this out there on this forum because missing technology is the problem that kills the dream of Mars, according to the authors.

Trouble upgrading from 18.0 to 18.1 (slrpnk.net)
 

I am trying to upgrade using the ansible playbook from 18.0 to the latest.

I issue ‘git pull’ and ‘ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts lemmy.yml --become --ask-pass --ask-become-pass’. This worked the first time I upgraded to 18.0, but now I get:

TASK [Install Docker Module and docker-compose for Python] ****************************************************** fatal: [root@lemmy.mitchday.com]: FAILED! => {“changed”: false, “cmd”: [“/usr/bin/python3”, “-m”, “pip.main”, “install”, “-U”, “docker”, “docker-compose”], “msg”: "\n:stderr: error: externally-managed-environment\n\n× This environment is externally managed\n╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install\n …

Is there something obvious I’m missing? Much appreciated. Mostly confused what has changed since my own system config has not since the last successful upgrade and the changelog doesn’t indicate any needed config changes.
