Ah! The Diorama Efect!
It must be because of the way the ground and the objects at back of table are blurred. The objects also have this… flatness to them, or maybe they’ve been slightly squashed by the tilt… Anyway, very interesting!
Nice photo too! I often call myself an anti-cat, when I see cups near edges like this I automatically push them back onto the table farther so they won’t spill!
Been a while since I thought about this kit! I think my parents still had it for a number of years before I finally let it go. I too tried to make some very whacky and barely tub-worthy boats. I think I got a spider bot that would climb a string working and kept it in that configuration for a while too.
Did y’all have other science kit toys as a kid? Another favorite of mine was an electronics project kit where you wired together little springs (a very child friendly breadboard) to make various electronic gizmos. I think I was too young for that one but I wish I’d learned circuitry a little better from it.
Why does it look like doll house furniture to me?
She’s recently switched to TypeScript and is annoyed that non-delivery drivers keep messing up her code. If people remembered to strongly type their driver objects, the compiler would have caught that error.
I guess assembler is sumerien then, only still written and understood? And cobol or fortran? Linear a and b?
Knives are also made of atoms
Maybe I’m missing a joke, but just in case, please sleep on it before you commit to anything. Nothing improves after it ends.
Disgusting! How are you bypassing my block with this animated pornography?
The irony is that I’m using Voyager on Android. An LCARS skin would be great, and now I’m shocked there isn’t a Trek-themed Lemmy client.
We do a little trolling, as a treat, on people who rigidly hold to other, unnamed diets that are stricter, and also what they feed their pets. We do not, in accordance with the rules, bring up such arguments here.
Acceptable, but rare and precious
Arch? Only if you have time to maintain it and do regular updates! I just use Mint (btw) and have auto-updates turned on. It only bricks the machine once or twice a year, easily resolved with a quick reinstall.
It’s the same conversations but everyone uses the word “liberate” instead so it’s much more pleasant
“The economy” is just money in motion. Like how electric charges moving create light, moving money carries and creates value in the exchange. When rich people soak up money from millions of people, they destroy all that value and the economy stagnates. When millions of people are given money and then spend it in millions of ways, the global economy improves.
We optimize our economy around stagnate money sitting in septic pools, when we should be trying to build an ocean of money that never stops flowing.
Check out this great looping animation version that I definitely made myself!
Her story behind this is so funny too. She’s claims she was already sitting there, when Putin and a handler just walked up and sat down. No one said anything because no one spoke Russian (though Putin speaks English and German, and apparently didn’t have a translater handy at this international event). Since no one could talk, they awkwardly got up after a while and walked off!
Sounds extremely plausible and defensible to me, don’t see what people are so hung up about! /s
Visit your nearest aquarium! They often have a petting tank where you can touch rays and small sharks. And if not, hey, at least the aquarium is still great!
Some alcohol cooks off when used this way, but not all. Be cautious when cooking for others to mention this so non-drinkers can make an informed choice.
It can be a delicious addition though: alcohol dissolves flavor and aromatic compounds that water and fat cannot, so you get a lot of unique flavors especially from barrel-aged drinks like whisky and wine.
My mother raises hens and a dozen birds can actually make so many eggs that our entire family has trouble using them all. A bird lays on average one egg a day, and pasture-raised eggs are so rich as to be almost unpalatable to eat directly.
I don’t think every farm needs to have some strict limit like that, but more numerous, smaller, more localized farms would be better for everyone in almost every way. Better environmentally, more humane to the birds, people get fresher and higher quality eggs, and more people are employed. Also more limited damage from diseases, droughts, and so on.
Our current system isnt just bad because “factories bad.” It’s bad because it’s heavily centralized and top-down controlled. This is much cheaper to operate and funnels money towards the owner much better, but is so much worse in every way that local farms are better.
We’re making millions of birds suffer and getting shittier, more expensive product because of it so less than a dozen people (the real bad eggs) can stay filthy rich.
The problem is that you can be angry all day and it won’t accomplish anything without coordinated, planned, collective action. And collective action is made more difficult with angry people.
Anger motivates you to act Right Now, which is why it’s good for reactionaries. They want you either impotently angry so you can’t think clearly to make those long term, organized plans; or they want you mad enough to go do a little stochastic terrorism.
Progressives have a lot of trouble hitting the slow-burn simmer of anger in a way that’s motivational and doesn’t slip into despair when you get tired from all that rage that you can’t turn into immediate results.
