Honestly never had a clue. Thanks for the share.

May it be so.

I’d love for him to give this some attention. It’s been mentioned for quite a while. A couple channels just added a new bot which uses spoiler tags to hide excessive information. now it makes these ridiculously huge comments for every single post…

This is what it looks like for me on Boost:

Would love love love to see markdown support updated particularly for spoiler tags.

It’s terrible how companies like this can do anything they want with impunity.

This tool seemed so beneficial.

Yes! I just confirmed that notes and notebooks move to the new trashcan! So grateful! 💜

I had to rollback my database just last week because my son managed to accidentally delete a whole notebook on his phone and was pretty upset. I resolved that, but was once again so frustrated with the lack of trash. Now this will be a thing of the past! 🎉🥳

Also noticed undo and redo buttons for the first time. That was killing me just as much!

Two birds with one stone it seems!, (either that or I’m blind 😁)

The trash folder is huge. Can wait to see this added to Android

I’m surprised I watched the whole video. Haha. Mildly interesting. Maybe slightly more than mild. 😁

I was wondering the same.

And… if these ferns are superior to us in some way. 🤣

I was really hoping this article would say more about what this means, but this is all we get…

Intriguingly, bigger isn’t always better when it comes to genomes, the team says. Large-genomed plants tend to have slower growth, require more nutrients and perform photosynthesis less efficiently. As such, it’s thought that T. oblanceolata is bumping up against the upper limits for genome size.

Trunk Monkey Mobile would have been better. 🐒

Most recently I remember it happening really really badly within Syria. Very intentional destruction. But yes, it happens all the time–Iraq included. With the technology we have now, we can preserve a lot of it (digitally at least).

I hate how it’s so damn hard to find these things and yet so easy to destroy it.

What I would like to know is if tablets like this are being scanned digitally into three dimensions so that they can be reproduced. I feel like everything we find from antiquity needs to be scanned this way. With humans constantly going to war destroying history, I’d hate the idea of losing things like this forever.

UPDATE: And thus a journey down the interwebs rabbit hole begins. I need better internet and PC to check this out more later, but answering my own question, here’s the entrance to the rabbit hole should others wish to venture with a few examples:

• Smithsonian Institution: The Smithsonian has a vast collection of 3D scanned artifacts available online, including prehistoric tools and sculptures https://3d.si.edu/.
• Europeana: This digital platform features 3D scans of cultural heritage objects from across Europe https://pro.europeana.eu/project/3d-content-in-europeana.
• Cultural Heritage Imaging (CHI): This non-profit organization promotes the use of 3D scanning for cultural heritage preservation https://www.culturalheritageimaging.org/.

They are different organizations with different purposes and missions. Throughout all the changes within the boy scouts, I have yet to hear of any changes within the girl scouts.

There is a lot great about this article, but it’s hard to keep completely positive in light of the many horrific abuses that have taken place within the Scouts. Youth organizations and religious organizations are highly susceptible to this. Scouting America has gone to great lengths to reform and protect youth today, but the stain will be there for a long time especially since abuse still happens (this just reported on days ago).

To be frank, it’s a tense thing for me. Scouts was great for me in my youth and today as I’m involved with my children. However, I’m always on guard and paying attention. Whether it’s scouts or some other youth organization, they are vulnerable. I teach my kids to pay attention and remain ever vigilant. As great as such organisations can be, they are very very susceptible to predators.

I hear you and applaud the conviction.

I feel very okay acknowledging myself as my own god and yourself as yours. It’s certainly a reinterpretation, but I’m okay with that for the sake of offering this to my own children. Children hardly know what it means to believe in a god as it is, so I figure why complicate it. I love to teach them what it means to be reverent in a way that is different from the status quo.

In the end though, my preference is that atheists are permitted as they are. Period. Full stop.

We can teach reverence without an external deity.

The only holy wars fought thus far involve conflicts over the correct installation of toilet paper rolls. And there is a right way.

Some things are worth dying for.

Religion, while required, plays a very minor role practically speaking. Even your “disfavored” beliefs should be permitted.

My “belief” in my own imaginary mythos is enough to satiate the non-sectarian requirements thus far. I simply don’t speak about it any detail.

This thread has reminded me that talking to my kids about this is important because my eldest, practically speaking, is agnostic. I don’t want them to feel uncomfortable lying for Eagle, so I want to share some options. There’s a lot of ways for a scout to be reverent without actually believing in a deity.

Here’s a little more on the requirement: https://blog.scoutingmagazine.org/2014/10/03/belief-in-god-scouting/

I can’t wait until this “integral” part of the program is made a thing of the past.

I’d say fight it, because it can be won. Then again, I’d rather my child be a part of a troop that’s welcoming and safe. It’s hard to be a trailblazer.

There’s a lot of reasons to shop around with different troops. This reason is particularly important.

As we know though, trans youth have it particularly bad from every direction right now. 😖

Afaik, BSA has accepted trans boys since 2017.

Considering the meaning, it’s not a terrible word to describe the sufferings of many scouts.
