Tech idea #8545764 that sounds like it could maybe do some good if only the entire industry and those responsible for regulating them weren't malicious actors.
That jar reminds me of the end result of the sand ceremony that some people do at weddings. Several years ago I photographed a wedding for a middle aged couple who each already had kids, so with their Brady Bunch situation I think they had even more colors than this.
So uh, are any of you lovely gay Lemmings planning on getting hitched with your partner any time soon? I know the perfect container for a sand ceremony that you would display in your home for decades to celebrate your love AND your sense of humor.
I think this is my favorite number. Everybody knows that atoms are super small, but it's easy to forget the ridiculous number of them in small everyday objects.
One observer can see two events happen simultaneously while another sees them happen at different times.
And EVEN WORSE than that, thanks to length contraction at relativistic speeds, you could have one observer think that a train is contained entirely within a tunnel, but another observer sees the train sticking out both ends of the tunnel at the same time without ever fitting entirely within it.
and/or: One observer objectively masures that object A is longer than object B, while another observer objectively measures that object B is longer than object A.
The two observers are not just hanging out together, of course. They are moving ridiculously fast relative to one another.
I think they do move, but it's slower than you might think. The voltage / EMF / potential travels super fast on the same order of magnitude as the speed of light, but the net motion of the electrons in a DC current flow slower than WE can move.
I think the word "relatively" in the previous comment is doing some heavy lifting.
If you are going to spend a few hours of your limited free time to plant the shrubs, even if the materials and transportation are free to you, compare that with the relative cost of a small environmental fine to a trillion dollar company building a billion dollar data center.
The people at the top might not even realize anything happened, if anything even does happen.
I still have my tech job (embedded systems) and in the next few days I am literally going to be building a chicken coop and finishing a filter upgrade on my pond.
I've referred to this meme several times in the past few months to describe myself, lol.
I tried that in Morrowind years ago. I'm not sure if it was the same mod, or some version of the game with lots of graphics settings, but yeah.
I loved Morrowind so much. I played it so much that I took over a house and turned it into a museum for all my hoarded items and ridiculously valuable concoctions and trinkets.
Having unlimited view distance and seeing how freaking small the world really was completely blew my mind.
Along with the fog, the walking speed must have been even slower than I remember!
This is literally what qualifies as "shoving it down our throats" when conservatives say that LGBT+ folks can live how they want but not shove it down everybody's throats. That's my personal experience with conservative relatives and locals, at least.
Being reminded that certain "other" people exist without being hunted down is all it takes to set them off.
So while the lawsuit is a stupid waste of resources, the basic dickhead at the center of it is probably genuinely motivated to pursue it.
It's that way with Webb since it focuses on infrared, but I thought hubble used the visible spectrum.
After a brief search, it looks like Hubble uses the entire optical spectrum which includes some IR and UV along with visible. It depends on the specific image, but the deep field stuff looks like it was a combination of visible and IR, which makes sense considering red shift. But the bluer objects were captured in the visible.
So they inevitably had to compress the spectrum for the photos, but speaking as somebody who has taken tens of thousands of photos in RAW format, all the colors in every photo are translated data. :) (that also goes for the screen displaying the final image using a mix of three wavelengths rather than the actual colors of the original light)
It's funny that many religious people don't believe in evolution via natural selection, because the survival of religions themselves clearly favors the ones that are all fucking pushy and irrational about it.
