"What is Beehaw": https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/core-principles/what-is-beehaw/

TL;DR: Beehaw.org is intentionally curated and moderated to try and maintain a "nice" environment free of aggression and trolling.

The influx of Reddit refugees last year was a bit of a shock to their system. The Beehaw admins have floated the idea of leaving Lemmy entirely.

It's been a long time for me. My peak PC gaming days were spent playing Warcraft II head-to-head with a friend over a modem. That was on a Macintosh Performa 550. I also had a ton of fun playing Myst and Flashback. I stuck to consoles after that.

Now the only gaming in my house is my kids playing Minecraft on a Dell OptiPlex 5040 that I saved from the dumpster at work because I'm a cheapskate. No dedicated GPU, 8GB RAM, but it gets the job done.

It's a cropped frame from this video, right around the 1:31 timestamp. Here's a screenshot I took on mobile. Not the best quality, but if you have urgent memes to make it'll do.

something as simple as a variety of colors took hundreds of years of technological advancement

If anyone is looking for a rabbit hole to go down, the history of pigments is a great one.

Winter weather on the northeast US coast is a battle between cold, dry air blowing in from the northwest, and (relatively) warm, humid air from the Gulf Stream coming up from the Caribbean. The weather is determined by which of those two forces is "winning" at a given moment, and it can swing abruptly when the balance shifts.

Expect cold, windy, rainy weather. But don't be surprised to get snow and ice if those Canadians send a strong cold front.

The comment comparing New York to Scotland is a good one. Dress like you are going to Aberdeen and you should be just fine in New York.

Stolen from Reddit.

The big drop in the 1970's was supposedly due to a change in the program to de-emphasize outdoor activities. The step down in 2019 was the LDS church cutting ties and starting their own program.

If you consider this as a proportion of the population it's an even bigger drop. In 1970 there were about 4.8M scouts in a population of 205M, so about 2.3% of all Americans were in Boy Scouts. Now it's 1M scouts in a population of 341M, so only 0.3% of Americans are in Boy Scouts.
