@Midnitte Waste handling has me curious as well.

@Gordon_Freeman As of 2019:

Well, all went a bit quiet. Partly because the Montreal-based company leading the way, Nexia Biotechnologies, a company spun out of McGill University, swiftly went bust and sold its two GM goats — Sugar and Spice — to the Canada Agriculture Museum in Ottawa, which in 2013 removed its genetically-engineered goats from display amid public pressure.

Quiet momentum continues, however, under Dr Randy Lewis of Utah State University and his team. Though he is unaware of the whereabouts of Sugar and Spice today, his lab looks after over twenty goats capable of producing silky milk.

@Arotrios Thank you. That is a great explanation.

@Arotrios Interestingly enough, I can see my kbin posts in Mastodon as https://mastodon.social/@readbeanicecream@kbin.social, but it seems that those posts do not appear in my Mastodon timeline under the hashtags that I follow. For example, if I post something that includes #nasa, I do not see that post in Mastodon under #nasa. However, I do see it as a post under https://mastodon.social/@readbeanicecream@kbin.social.

I guess I am still just learning how it all works.

@sentient_loom #kbin for the win!

@roldyclark @End0fLine Well, if you are interested in the US gov’t:

@hansl @Mesaji @ribboo 90% of my internet consumption is via RSS.

RSS is good place to start: https://www.usda.gov/rss/latest-releases.xml

@stopthatgirl7 This seems like quite the lift and shift. Moving to a new platform would definitely split their user based. I would also thin that any form of aggressive defederation would split their user base as well. From what I can tell, there are not many (if any) fediverse platforms that have the level of moderation tools they they are looking for.

Unfortunately, It just looks like they are in a tight spot. One the could make or break that community.

Good ol’ @ernest … always on top of things. Thank you, sir!!

@HipPriest @IzzyData @Whiskeyomega Another vote for kbin. There is:

• @scifi
• @sciencefiction
• @AskScienceFiction

Kbin has a great community and I have not run into any problem users … mods or otherwise. So, I say, welcome aboard!

I have not noticed many spammers here on kbin. But, when I do, the way I handle it is:

1. Reduce/Report.
2. Do I see the same user posting spam, block user.
3. Does it seem to come from the same domain, block domain.

When relaying inconvenient news or the need to complete annoying tasks, I like the preface with it “Good news, everyone.”

@ernest Don’t let someone with the red ass, who by the way is using a self-described beta product for free and without ads) get you down. You need to take care of yourself and your family first. We will manage. I spend more time on kbin than I do on reddit and mastodon combined. The few little glitches I have hit here and there are nothing. This is a solid product and I have a blast using it!

If anyone says that /kbin is dying … well I will leave this right here:

Kudos to you @ernest and everyone else who contributes to the project!

@perviouslyiner There is a need for it. America as whole needs a more robust public transportation system.

@idoubtit Gotta love those titles!

@unofficial_kbin_guide I would!

TIL: There was something called Google Flights.

@waspentalive Weird. Shows up just fine for me. I have never seen a captcha on archive.is. But here is the original, but it is paywalled: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2388697-plastic-bottles-can-be-recycled-into-energy-storing-supercapacitors/
