    It's a sad day for Aussie cubers. Daily Puzzles (Australia's largest twisty puzzle retailer) have announced that they're closing down :(.

    Arctic sea ice has been consistently shrinking since at least 1980. So have the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets. The East Antarctic ice sheet has by contrast been constantly growing since records began, which is probably where you got your factoid from. But this is due to local phenomena, such as the Antarctic ozone hole, increasing westerly wind strength and increasing snowfall. East Antarctica is one of the few regions which seems to have escaped the effects of climate change (so far).

    There's almost no doubt that the world is warming overall due to human activity. The fossil fuel industry doesn't like this, so they put out propaganda to counter facts. Do your own research :).

    Adding to this, M2 U2 M2 swaps the 2 opposite edges in the top layer as well as the 2 opposite cross edges. So, if you mess up your cross, you can do the entirety of F2L and OLL, then do M2 U2 M2 before PLL, also swapping 2 top edges in such a way that you "force" a good PLL (IIRC you can turn a G perm into a J perm by doing this).

    How does one cut one's arm on a passing shark? Sharks are smooth as can be.

    Edit: Never mind just read the article and he cut his arm on a tooth while the shark swam past open-mouthed.

    It looks like a lot more people left Reddit than joined Lemmy or the other Reddit alternatives. I reckon most people who left didn't actually seek out an alternative and are just spending more time on Facebook/Tiktok/forum sites etc. Or they might be being productive with the time that they would've otherwise spent on Reddit lol.

    I fully support what you are doing but I'm not sure I completely get it. If the attack was against a community on another instance, why do you have to wipe images on this instance? Are images posted on all federated instances stored on the Aussie.zone server?

    I've lived near the reserve for about 20 years and I haven't heard of anyone being bitten by a snake there (although some dogs have, unfortunately). I think accidents could happen but they'd be pretty rare. The snakes here tend to stick to the long grass and near the creek and I think most people have the sense to not go trampling through the grass during snake season.

    It also depends on the snake species. Around here we mainly have Eastern browns, which are venomous but timid. In other places in Australia snakes may be more aggressive and accidents are more likely.
