As I said, I understand the analogy. My point was that you "could" find them, given the right oxigen concentration. The higher the concentration the bigger they can be. The environment is the key.
Going back to the analogy, the more favorable the environment is (be it wealth of the county, lack of education, or simply submissiveness of the population) the bigger the government and the megacorps can grow.
Not really apples to apples comparison. Their surface:volume ratio is much higher, which makes it easier to transport oxigen without any active pumping. That's why wingspan is important, since it gives a rough estimate of the volume too, knowing the bodyplan is similar to modern dragonflies. Also, their slow-paced movement requires way less oxigen than flying.
Otherwise, you could say some tapeworms can reach up to 72 ft and they only get their oxigen from passive diffusion through the skin. While true, it isn't really comparable to dragonflies.
I get the dragonfly analogy, but fwiw...
During the Carboniferous and Permian periods (385.9-251.9 mya) the oxigen content of the atmosphere was much higher than nowadays. That allowed for gigantic insects to thrive.
Among them, the largest insect know to have lived was in fact dragonfly-like. "Meganeuropsis permiana" was ~17 in (~0.43 m) long and with a wingspan ~28 in (0.71 m).
Not sure if that qualify as "massive", but those where some pretty fucking big "dragonflies" the size of a medium-sized bird.
Exactly, which makes a 1h+ block way off the chart. It's now mined at 1h 9mins, that's almost 7x the "normal" time
I've never seen it drop past 1h, honestly. I'm not worried tho just surprised. I don't have my node running ATM so I just checked there and saw it. First thin I thought was the site is broken
Is this real or #mempoolspace is broken?
Showing last #bitcoin block was 57 mins ago at the time of writing 🧐

Well, it does say it has limited knowledge about events and places occurred after sometime in 2021.
Should be more honest about things it doesn't know, though. A good "Dunno" can save you from having to spit a ton of bs
Honestly, I don't think I'm there yet. My coding skills come from cli user perspective and experience as data analyst.
I can build some basic pipelines and stuff but I wouldn't trust myself fixing anyone's bugs 😅
This one is easy, the answer is two pairs of scissors.
What's a matter did I just ruin it? 🤷 😹

A set of scissors
Today I've decided to download Android Studio and start building something. I'm not a developer by any stretch, although I'm not completely new to coding, so I might actually manage to make something worthy of my spare time. Wish me luck!

There you have it
Still needs some finishing touches. So more likely than not won't be used until next week (99% odds I won't have time to do anything with it before nexweekend)
Well, the alternative is having said toddler destroying everything around while you're cooking and can't really leave the kitchen. So I thought I might just risk it this way hahaha
Have a fan on for the whole night, pointing directly towards the bed. Mosquitoes hate windy places.
Today was carpentry day. Made a tower so the toddler can reach the kitchen counter and help cooking.

I tries it forma like 5 full minutes before reverting toamethyst. I found the UI not so appealing. Plus, 1 touch zaps just too good
