Prosecutors say Alec Baldwin was ‘engaged in horseplay’ with gun before fatal shooting
  • Except my understanding is Baldwin would be the Hellcat owner in this case. He was the producer and the film hired a company to handle the guns that was known to have issues and be irresponsible. I'm not intimately familiar with the case but from what I remember he was being reckless with that choice and it sounds like he was being reckless with the gun as well.

  • R.F.K. Jr.’s Environmental Colleagues Urge Him to Drop Presidential Bid
  • Look around lemmy. You have tons of people saying they don't like either candidate or their vote doesn't matter so they won't vote. Imagine how many people out there are willing to vote for a candidate from a dynasty.

  • Pls pls pls....
  • I was gonna say, I don't think metal has a higher rate of nazis. You look at country and you basically have to accept they're all MAGAts (another reason to just avoid country). I think most people in metal are pretty progressive, that's why they're in metal. Honestly Dero Goi is a great example: he jumped down a conservative rabbit hole and left metal.

    If anything, it's just that the nazis are always a vocal minority and when they're into metal it's some confirmation bias for close minded people who don't like metal.

  • Surveys are fundamentally flawed as a scientific method due to their inherent biases and often unreliable data.
  • Exactly. Luckily I'm in a field where true experiments are possible, but I have many colleagues who can't ethically run true experiments. It's surveys or nothing for the most part. They have very advanced statistics to account for the lack of control in their research.

  • It's not enough to touch grass
  • Is there a way to have more native plants growing without increasing ticks? I just bought a house and have a couple areas it would be great to not have to maintain, but I have dogs and don't wanna have to worry about ticks.

  • You're not a "coffee person", you're most likely an addict
  • What? As a neuroscientist: caffeine is not "technically a drug" it is a drug. And yes, people are absolutely addicted to it. That "craving" you're talking about is withdrawal and it's real. Doesn't matter if "billions*" drink it every day. It's no mental gymnastics to say that there are millions if not billions of coffee addicts. Addict is not a defined term in the psych/neuro field so I would argue that that many people who would go through withdrawal without it are all addicted.

    Wtf does it matter what other drugs are out there? Not everything is a competition. Current dependence on caffeine in our society is absolutely a problem as a result of too much stress and work pressure on everyone. Caffeine is not a cure to that.

    Tl;dr: Yes caffeine is objectively a drug and yes very many people are addicted to it.

  • Millennials are old now?
  • Yeah to me Classic Rock is 60's and 70's. Classic Rock is a genre not classic rock, rock which is classic, classic meaning it has stood the test of time. Linkin Park may be classic at this point, but they're not Classic Rock.

  • 18650 Appears to have no voltage

    So I have an Astrolux MF01S with the extended battery tube and recently it wouldn't turn on after not having really used it in a bit due to moving. I put all the cells into my XTAR VC8 and one of the cells wasn't recognized by the charger. I used a multimeter and it's not reading any voltage from that cell (reads appropriate voltage from other cells). Is there anything to do or is this cell just dead for some reason? I believe they're the samsung 30Q's that are generally recommended.

    Galaxy Watch notification issues

    Can anyone help me solve this? I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch (I believe it's the original, I got it in 2019) and ever since my phone (S23 Ultra) last updated it doesn't save my notification settings. I like to have it set so that my watch still notifies me while I am on my phone and that when my watch is connected to my phone it silences notifications on my phone. I can still set that, but when I turn it off at night it resets the settings so every morning I have to open the wearable app and redo my settings. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Craft beer bubble popped?
  • Because quality beer tastes great. And it doesn't burn going down like liquor. Carbs don't matter, but the sugar you need to make the liquor that's cheaper than beer palatable does. If you don't wanna drink beer then fine, but let the rest of us have our fun.

  • Help with watch not working

    Can anyone help me figure out how to fix this watch? I had seen a video that said it was likely that Center screw being loose so it wouldn't wind, but even after tightening that it won't start ticking. Bought some simple tools and I'm willing to mess with it (I believe it was a cheap watch) I just have no clue what to do.

    Beginner camera recommendations

    I'm looking at getting into photography and I'm trying to decide on what camera would be best for me. One of the primary things I'm interested in is nature photography when I'm out on hikes.

    I spoke with someone I know into photography and he seemed to be pushing me towards full frame cameras. Given the prices for these cameras (I'm fine with used) it seems like I have to make a bit of a choice between older full frame and newer aps-c.

    After doing some research here are the cameras I am currently considering:

    Sony a7

    Sony a7R II

    Sony a6400 (or maybe a6500)

    Nikon D800

    Canon EOS 5D Mk III

    Canon M50 Mk II

    These are sort of organized by how interested in them I am. The pricing varies a bit for them, but with the cheaper ones I'd be able to get more lenses sooner and/or feel less bad about upgrading it in 2 years if I get really into it. So would the a7 or a7r be a good way to go to get a good balance of things or is something like a D800 still worth it today? Or is it just that worth it to have something like the a6400/6500 today to have newer features?
