Trump Promises 'Very Large Faucet' Will Funnel Water from Oregon to Los Angeles in c/politics@lemmy.world

Yeah but it's all going down from Oregon to California. That's down on the map, which means it's all downhill, so it should really be quite simple. (/s obviously)

Does anyone actually use the windows key on their keyboard as intended by the OS? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] Gumbyyy@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I have 3 main use cases for the Windows key:

  1. Bring up the start menu and immediately type "cmd" + Enter to bring up a command prompt
  2. Windows + L to lock the computer when I step away
  3. Windows + arrow keys to move windows around on the screen and "dock" them to the sides of the screen (although this hasn't been consistently working for me more recently)

I don't think I ever use it for anything else. So yes, I do use it to bring up the start menu, but generally only to specifically bring up a command prompt window - all of my other commonly used programs are pinned to the taskbar so I can fire them up with a single click.

More wild Atlantic salmon found in U.S. rivers than any time in the past decade, officials say (apnews.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/4578009

The last wild Atlantic salmon that return to U.S. rivers have had their most productive year in more than a decade, raising hopes they may be weathering myriad ecological threats.

Officials counted more than 1,500 of the salmon in the Penobscot River, which is home to the country’s largest run of Atlantic salmon, Maine state data show. That is the most since 2011 when researchers counted about 2,900 of them.

The salmon were once abundant in American rivers, but factors such as overfishing, loss of habitat and pollution reduced their populations to only a handful of rivers in Maine. The fish are protected by the Endangered Species Act, and sometimes only a few hundred of them return from the ocean to the rivers in a year.

The greater survival of the salmon could be evidence that conservation measures to protect them are paying off, said Sean Ledwin, director of the Maine Department of Marine Resources sea-run fish programs. The count of river herring is also up, and that could be aiding the salmon on their perilous journey from the sea to the river.
