The rest of social media did to 4chan what reality did to The Onion. Both still exist, but only a pale version of before because the new versions are so much worse.

I think it’s even worse. They didn’t tell us what was and wasn’t recyclable. They used symbols very similar to the recycling logo to stamp on various types of plastics to classify them. Most of the types used are one time use, they never were meant to imply recycling, that’s just the symbol appearance.
Recycling started off as the third R and last resort, the first two were Reduce and Reuse. Those were not compatible with an economy based on consumerism and growth, so Recycling became the focus, creating an industry to pick through the few things that could be recycled and trashing the rest, and encouraging the public to buy more because it’s not a problem as long as you participate.
And if you don’t participate, all the problems are your fault. Not the companies making the stuff, they’re just doing what you want.
Try to search around for things in the past mentioning both Kbin and extensions, as well as the Monkey script addons (VM ended up being the stable one, but other versions were used). Hopefully you can find archived discussion about it all somewhere.
There’s nothing for Lemmy that I know of, but in the beginning of the first migration from Reddit there was such a thing being worked on by various people for Kbin. Kbin unfortunately is broken for a while now due to the developer’s health issues, but there was a fork made called Mbin. And the good news is that the extensions for Kbin seem to work for the most part with Mbin via ViolentMonkey. I can’t recall if I had to do much of anything to tweak it. I don’t know if there’s been any work since then, only that it still works for me now.
I looked back to find something to recommend to research, but short of using VM and searching for scripts to use with a Mbin site (like fedia.io) I’m not sure.
Moonlet looks to be a term specific for ring-embedded moons (just Ring A?), based on wikipedia for the word and a link from there on a list of them. I don’t think these are even included in the list of main moons, but rather are perhaps larger masses of the ring itself that are serving as structure creators with their gravity influence (like the bigger shepherd moons on the edges).
It won’t leave, just slow to a much farther orbit, so that’s why I said future projection, or best we can do. Many of these moons seem to be in erratic and retrograde paths, something that can’t last even a “short” time, as you’d expect of remnants of breakups or of captured objects.
Unlike the planet/dwarf planet designation, it seems that a moon is a moon no matter its characteristics. That makes a debris field like Saturn quite interesting. Should there be a limit to what a moon is? Based on how number increases as size decreases, there are certainly far more we can’t easily detect from Earth.
My thought is projection of orbit stability, which ignores the size but goes directly for whether or not it’s a temporary part of the planet’s system.

So you can and do apply more pressure than just gravity. Just not nearly as much as OP’s idea needs.

I actually haven’t looked into what changed at that level, but I don’t have much hope that the GOP stranglehold was broken.
Nvidia Riva TNT, because the onboard graphics were only going to play EverQuest (beta) and Rogue Squadron like a painful slideshow, if at all.
Rhaedas@fedia.ioto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Should we A) colonise other planets or B) build habitats in the middle of space, like O'Neill Cylinders and stuff?71·7 months agoA quote attributed to a few people, Heinlein and Pournelle for two, “If you can get your ship into orbit, you’re halfway to anywhere.” Both space and planets have shared and their separate problems to solve. In my head I prefer the image of most populations moving into habitats in space, customized to their preferences, with smaller settlements on various bodies for their own purposes. In my realistic view I don’t see us getting that far before we get bogged down with all the problems we’ve created on this planet. The window to a permanent space civilization might have already shut. A sad thing, as a 70s kid I grew up convinced we were full speed into some version of what scifi had sold to me.
I just rewatched some Hawkeye episodes. I’m down with this. brb got to make some more special arrows.
When WordPerfect was great. Reveal Codes was incredible. That and a HP Laserjet 5P was a solid combo.
Steve Rogers: Big man in a suit of armour. Take that off, what are you?
Tony Stark: Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.
Tony was being snarky, but he’s not wrong about the suit being just an extension. Yes, it’s important to his abilities, otherwise he wouldn’t have needed it from the beginning in the cave. But it’s also not a crutch, as Ironman 3 showed and taught him, and he’s trying to show Peter that it begins with the person.
Also keep in mind what he said to Peter in this same scene - when Peter said he just wanted to be like Tony, Tony comes back and says yeah, and I wanted you to be better. Tony knows that Peter truly doesn’t need the suit because he is that powerful, it’s just once again an extension that enhances those abilities, and if Peter thought it was the suit that made him special he wouldn’t grow.
Rhaedas@fedia.ioto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why are so many Pro-Palestine (I am pro-Palestine and anti-genocide) Americans refusing to vote for Harris due to her stance on Israel?1·7 months agoHardly okay with it. Some Americans don’t even know how things work to begin with, so ignorance is worse than knowing things are broken but what we have at the moment. Just because I acknowledge that’s the current election system doesn’t mean I don’t think we could do a lot better. That is its own topic with a lot of hills to climb, but some states have started.
And it’s a representative democracy with various flaws, one being not the proper number of constituents per representative, and far too much influence from other places that override the public’s opinions. Another separate debate.
LOTS of radiators.
