No, Larry’s friends are supposed to enter, Larry is there to let them in.

The large purple rectangle is a protein channel across a cell membrane. It’s normally closed, but can be opened by binding to a specific small molecule, which is called a ligand. Different channels have different ligands, and their presence/absence controls whether the channels will open.

In the cartoon Larry the ligand has been traveling with his friends, who represent the cargo to be transferred through that channel. When they reach the closed channel, Larry uses himself as the “key” to open the channel. Since channels usually only stay open while the ligand is still bound, Larry stays behind to keep the channel open while his friends make their way forward.

I wasn’t asking a question. I understand why politicians do it, I just think it’s a sign of a terrible system.

I fucking hate that this is a thing. “We can’t stop doing this useless and/or detrimental thing, look at all the work it makes for other people to do!!!” Absolutely bonkers that it’s just a standard political argument.

The irony of posting this meme with a title telling other people how to have fun is just perfect.

The whistles go woooooo!

Let me guess, they used existing footage and reports as training data, and it produced an incredibly racist ai model that routinely ignores police misconduct. They’ll spend a couple years working on bandaids for the problem while police departments across the country use the original model to create reports and use the “unbiased ai reports” as an excuse to hide the raw footage.

I’ve never tried one, but I tdid look at them last time I got a new kb (2 years ago?). IIRC you can do pressure sensitivity, but meaningfully mapping that to game/software controls is often difficult. You can also adjust the trigger point if you’re using “standard” mode, and I think you can even set a different action for passing the trigger point and bottoming out the key.

Can’t blame him tbh…

Perhaps even roommates.

Mmmm blueberry muffins…

I seem to remember that given as the official reason, and there were certainly plenty of complaints along those lines. Whether that was a convenient excuse for anti-communist schemes or the actual reason I don’t know. Most likely it was some of both, at least in the case of hexbear.

Calling hexbear a “trans instance” is pretty misleading. They’re explicitly political first and foremost, and happen to have a high concentration of trans/queer users. They were defederated by .world for being overbearing and disruptive, not because of their transness or queerness. Blahaj zone, by comparison, is explicitly a trans instance first and foremost, and is still federated by .world.

What trans instances have they defederated?

It’s not a damn pillow display!

Sounds like it is.
