They also walk around on their middle fingers so they’re literally flipping the world off with all 4 limbs from the day they were born.

“shit wouldn’t melt in her mouth!” - my late grandma’s favorite

We are idiots and we deserve it

That’s what I’m getting at but who gets the center square is decided by dice.

Soon I can algorithmically identify friend or foe by comparing their multidimensional political beliefs to my own (17, 89, 7, 32, 90, 72, 11, 3, 55, 23, 68, 99)

HOW!?

WHAT!?

It feels like a nice round tax number.

It reminds me of how US companies get a tax credit of up to $200 for office bonding i.e. pizza parties. That’s literally the reason they’re so common… It’s a tax write-off…

I’ve heard first hand from parents that they saw news articles like this and always thought how could a parent ever do that to their kid? Then they had a kid and realized it very easily could be them… Sleep deprivation is a torture tactic and kids are supposed to be raised by a large family group of grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, cousins and so on that live nearby and can help iut. It’s really just recently that we have super isolated parents like this, where it’s literally the birth parents (or worse, just the mom!) taking care of an infant. It’s literally inhumane…

I found it

“create previously unseen details”

AI upscalers can’t reveal information “hidden” inside of a digital image. The way they work is they guess and fill in the blanks. I can’t find it but a good example was a blurry image of Obama that was upscaled into a normal looking dude with a tan…

Especially because you feel like it’s your fault when it’s really just dumb luck on who wins or loses. It’s like tic tac toe with dice.

I want to live long enough to see boomers and the wretched fossils we have running the place realize it’s all ogre and their retirement is to be carbonized or choke on iodine and strontium dust.

I haven’t looked it up but I would bet you it’s due to fatigue limits. They probably use aluminum a lot which always fatigues no matter how light the stress (a bit like me tbh…) so anything made from aluminum gets retired after a set time period.

The same is true for jets. Each flight expands and contracts the airframe since it’s a pressure vessel, and the wings can deflect a large amount too.

Clickspring is a great maker channel that feels like 20-40 minute long episodes of how it’s made (kinda)

He has playlists of his projects and he’s been making a period correct reproduction of the antikythra mechanism using the same bronze age tools of the ancient makers who created the original.

EEVBlog is fun if you know electronics and want to learn more. He does a phenomenal series on parts and pieces. He’s a layman’s wikipedia on “what’s an FPGA and why should I know?” As opposed to the more electrical engineering centric sources out there where you already need to know a lot to understand it. He’s entertaining and high energy (honestly he strikes me as someone with self managed bipolar or something. That’s the vibe I get since I’ve been friends with at least 4 others who present similar to Dave)

Tasting history, 18th century cooking, and table of the gods are both great historical cooking channels. Some of them will give the recipes for free for you to try at home.

Huygen’s optics is a channel run by a understated genius. He explains how optics and optical manufacturing works and he runs his own precision optics workshop in his basement. He once made a spirit bubble level for his pool table with an internal radius of like I’m (meaning it’s like carving a 15cm diameter circle out of a 16m wide sphere) so his level had like sub-arcsecond resolution iirc? A human hair underneath it would throw it off scale.

Applied Science is another amazing Science & engineering channel. He made his own back scatter computed tomography machine with a lazy Suzan, an X-ray tube, an Arduino, and a X-ray phosphorescence developer box/camera.

That’s young 😞 RIP you played a huge role in my childhood and those of millions of others…

Embrace, extend, extinguish. You just described all 3

I’ve noticed a massive overlap between trans and telecom. Even before the internet, telephone phreaks were more often than not trans or trans adjacent, or just straight up eggs before it was cool.
