these two snails mated with each other instead, producing 170 right-coiled snails. One of the left-coiled snails later mated with Jeremy, producing 56 offspring, all of which also had right-coiling shells.
they also omitted this crucial detail:
Jeremy was named after the left-wing British Labour politician Jeremy Corbyn, on account of it being a “lefty” snail, but also due to Corbyn’s reported love of gardening.

The downside is that Ubuntu Touch is currently still based on the 2020 LTS release of Ubuntu (which does still get updates, at least). Fairphone 4 is also somewhat supported by postmarketOS, but call support there is listed as “partial”.

fyi this is how you can put alt text (and, separately, a title which is displayed as a tooltip) on images on lemmy.
Alt-tech, Alt-A, alt.* hierarchy, Alt-y-Graig railway station… it really is all bad
Arthur Besse@lemmy.mlto Europe@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Why is "no Zionism" the #2 rule for a community concerning Europe?English5·15 天前I am curious, what do you think Zionism is actually?
I don’t think I can continue contributing when there’s literally a rule condoning ethnic discrimination
The rule against Zionism is literally the opposite of “a rule condoning ethnic discrimination”. This community’s second rule is actually redundant with its first one, but it’s worth stating separately due to the prevalence of misunderstandings about it.
FYI, aside from being predicated on the forced displacement and/or murder of the Palestinian people, Herzl’s Zionism (to which the state of Israel explicitly credits its existence) has also always been rooted in antisemitism.
Arthur Besse@lemmy.mlto Science Memes@mander.xyz•The cell wall is the wall of the cell.English4·18 天前Wikipedia says:
The mitochondrion is popularly nicknamed the “powerhouse of the cell”, a phrase popularized by Philip Siekevitz in a 1957 Scientific American article of the same name.[4]
But know your meme attributes its meme status to this tumblr post from 2013:
Contrary to comments in many places like this reddit thread from 2018, I suspect the phrase wasn’t actually used in many textbooks or very commonly known prior to that tumblr post.
(If you search on Google Books you can find numerous textbooks using the phrase. Range-based search on Google Books appears to be broken so I’m not sure, but all the ones I checked were published well after 2013.)

in all seriousness, renaming someone else’s account and presenting it to CBP as one’s own would be dangerous and inadvisable. a more prudent course of action at this time is to avoid traveling to the united states.

What about these laws? Or these laws? Don’t you support people breaking unjust laws?
I think what you’re really saying is that you think US immigration laws are generally just.
