8-10 mm lenght. There is at least one smaller frog species though and some fishes are in that sizes too, though weight much less.


Hello, Masto!

On a un petit cadeau. Deux, en fait.

D'abord sur notre blog on lance aujourd'hui une série "Règles zombies". Et ensuite, on vous a concocté une petite arme pour lutter contre les règles zombies sur les réseaux sociaux 👻

tract-linguistes.org/special-h…

Les règles zombies en #linguistique c'est des règles dont l’unique but est de survaloriser un état de langue disparu ou fictif.1/6

in reply to Linguistes atterrées ☑️

Le but de ce genre de « règle » n’est évidemment pas de revenir à l’état antérieur – on ne ressuscite pas les morts – mais de créer de l’insécurité linguistique et de culpabiliser tous ceux qui utilisent les formes contemporaines devenues majoritaires.

Premier billet de notre série publié aujourd'hui, une règle croquemitaine (dans la famille des zombies) : "n'utilisez pas 'par contre', préférez 'en revanche'.

Last Minute Kostüm gefällig? Sollen die Leute richtig Angst haben?

GENDERSTERNCHEN! (Auch Doppelpunkt, Unterstrich und viele mehr einfach möglich)

For my newsletter I decided on Ghost as a platform. This post from its co-founder will help you understand why:

Not to mention: Their data servers are in the EU and they're fully GDPR compliant. For many European operators, this is not just a plus, it's a requirement. Ghost should make more noise about it (I learned this in the depth of an FAQ).

This says it all, about #ghost as a publishing platform:

● "Structured as an independent non-profit organisation. No owners, outside investors, no ulterior motivations, no conflicts of interest."

● "A sustainable revenue model with official, managed hosting. Not a giant venture-scale startup, just a simple business."

Undemocratic total power is what they want... only the government can change this perversion. Tax the rich. Progressively.

Abro Edge, abro Copilot y formulo una pregunta para saber que cliente de escritorio recomienda para leer RSS.

Me responde con varias aplicaciones, y ofrece a la vez los enlaces oportunos.

Pero sistemáticamente salta la sorpresa : antivirus dice que esos enlaces mejor no entrar.

Resultado : Windows y Copilot son fuentes nativas de virus. Y gracias.

A las pantallas me refiero.



Please reflect on this.

Voyager 1 “turned off its primary X-band radio transmitter and instead switched over to its secondary S-band radio transmitter, which uses less power.” Then sent us a message. From 15 billion miles away.

It sounds like AI, but it’s not. It’s a space craft we launched in 1977. That’s FOURTY-SEVEN years ago.

We did this. For all our flaws, we do some spectacular things. I have to remember this.

thank you too! I reckon that on a grand scale, we're all probably orbiting *something*, and the Voyager craft were sent out to see what's out there. I feared I might have missed some big news. ;)
