Edit: M-vac shutdown.

Thanks!

MECO, stage separation, M-vac ignition, and fairing separation.

Liftoff!

So is this by definition our new community logo? :)

I think the white sections might be intended to be reflections.

Some elements like platinum, palladium, and iridium are pretty rare at the earth’s surface, but much more prevalent in asteroids. If any metals are economical to mine in space and use on Earth, it would be these ones.

A rather creative use of croissants :)

Ooh, well spotted. Thanks for posting!

Zeeker are a subsidiary of Geely, correct?

Ah, thanks. TIL.

I don’t see many people actually discussing the email analogy in the comments. This could indicate that people get the analogy, but you also stressed that “the same content is accessible from every server”, and gave links to a ton of instances, which I think is more useful for onboarding.

I think the issue is that the use cases for email and Reddit vastly different, and so saying “Lemmy is like Reddit but also email” can be confusing to new users.

Saying something like “you can participate in almost all the sublemmys no matter which Lemmy website you sign up at” would be more useful.

The email analogy is fine to explain “what is federation?”, but new users don’t need to understand how federation works in order to try out Lemmy.

I can download Bluesky videos with no problems. My issue is with embedding videos which are hosted on Bluesky.

You’re welcome! Glad I could help!

Rocketing from a standstill to 60 mph in 3.0 seconds or less creates forces approaching those created by the Earth’s gravity, tricking your inner ear into thinking that forward is down.

Shouldn’t that be “backwards is down”?

Many amusement park rides use the trick of tilting the seats backwards to simulate forward acceleration, and the reverse should work as well. High forward acceleration could trick your senses into thinking that the gravity vector has shifted from “straight down” to “slightly behind you”.

Yay, another sample! I hope we can decide on a way to bring them home…

I agree that the email analogy, though technically accurate, isn’t very useful.

“Syncing” is better, but not perfect.

What about words like “interconnected” or “part of a shared network”?
