Ask Science@lemmy.world•How come planets move around in a circle for left to right or whatever? Why not a up and down circle like a target logo? I can explain further. thanks ahead of time.English
9·10 days agoIt all depends on your reference point. Typically when orbits are depicted for human understanding, they’re given a top-down view. Think like Open Street Maps. It could be depicted on its side, like watching race cars around a race track, but it can result in more visual distortions than a simple top-down view.
Alternatively, if you’re referring to orbits with high inclinations relative to the orbital plane, that also happens. Pluto, for example, has an inclination of ~17°, which is one of the reasons there are theories it was not part of the solar system when the solar system formed.

Explain Like I'm Five@lemmy.world•How to prevent your phone from being opened forcefullyEnglish
4·12 days agoDepending on your phone OS, iOS supports disabling biometrics if one repeatedly clicks the lock button. But this only narrows the attack surface, and relies on you having the wherewithal to recognize a situation when this needs to be done, or even being in a situation where you’d be able to.

Thank you for looking into it!
The only thing I could notice for sure was that there were replies but they didn’t flow over to our instance:

This was the same post but directly from blahaj.
@gwl@lemmy.blahaj.zone there seems to be a federation issue as I can’t see your reply on my instance :(
All-Seeing Eye and the one card players cut in half are some fun I’m having with destructive card concepts. Growing up we gave so much reverence to mass-produced text books and other things which shouldn’t be defaced or damage that I thought I’d be rebellious.
note to @w0odl@lemmy.radio, any idea what might be causing a federation issue with this instance?
@gwl@lemmy.blahaj.zone, per your invitation.
I ordered some blank playing cards so they can be properly shuffled, and stand up to wear and tear.
I also plan to make some cards require incremental destruction in order to be used.
Lots of room here for an interesting game.

Just wait until you learn about companies which pay per diem when traveling.
I had thought the same until we visited Idaho and discovered not only the Potato Museum, but also Craters of the Moon national monument, EBR-1 which was one of the world’s first nuclear power plants, and the stunning rolling hills in the north.
I was kinda surprised at the neat things to see out there.
There’s always the Potato Museum in Idaho: https://maps.app.goo.gl/zz2tdFfJ7T65sygLA

667toAmateur Radio@lemmy.einval.net•Introducing HamTrax - A New Ham Radio Logging AppEnglish
1·1 month agoMy thoughts mainly surround the initial setup as to have the same data in HamTrax as in QRZ on first use. QRZ is my final stop, but that’s just me. I’m sure there are as many workflows as there are users.
I’ve used a couple of different softwares (full disclosure, I have yet to try HamTrax) and there always seems to be a quirk somewhere along the line. I always wondered if the input screen could be made modular (for any software) so we can input the data in the order which best suits our needs.








Before his death, Thomas Jefferson left explicit instructions regarding the monument to be erected over his grave. In this undated document, Jefferson supplied a sketch of the shape of the marker, and the epitaph with which he wanted it to be inscribed:
"… on the faces of the Obelisk the following inscription, & not a word more:
Here was buried
Thomas Jefferson
Author of the Declaration of American Independence
of the Statute of Virginia for religious freedom
& Father of the University of Virginia
“because by these,” he explained, “as testimonials that I have lived, I wish most to be remembered.”
