This is because the microscope blocks photons. OP should use a gamma camera or x-ray to see through the microscope body.

Blender is the gold standard for what a runaway success of foss looks like. I’d love to see FreeCAD get there, but they’ll need significant investment to do so.

snakes are wild animals, they’re inherently a dangerous predator

That’s how you sound. Have you been outside?

I could easily run from a shark. They don’t even have legs

I don’t know why the question was asked in the city. Go out to the forest women and ask them.

In general, people and bears don’t want to hassle each other, doubly so for those in the woods. If you encounter either, you’re probably going to be fine. However, bears won’t stalk you, pretend to be friendly to gain your trust with the intention of harming you. Men won’t go into a blind rage because hibernation season is around the corner and you’re standing between them and a delicious tuna sandwich. Honestly if I’m alone in the woods I’d rather encounter an animal than a person because I was in the woods to be alone.

If you are in the woods and encounter a man or mountain lion

• make yourself look as big as possible
• maintain eye contact
• demonstrate you are a threat
• don’t trust his lies

If you encounter a bear

• avoid getting between a mother and her cubs
• take extra precautions to bearproof your food at your campsite
• back away slowly while facing the bear (without maintaining eye contact)
• under no circumstances should you fight a bear

The dang old ESL filter makes it impossible to recognize bad English out in public. My wife got a shit that reads “force of the nature” and neither of our brains perceived the “the”

In Android, holding power and selecting “lockdown” locks out access until your pin is entered. However, if you’re at a protest or something where illegal arrests are likely, turn your phone 100% off.

One thing people forget is long distance fees. Cell phones basically did away with long distance fees, and we’re better for that. However, landlines have some notable benefits:

• self-powered, you could call in a power outage
• high fidelity, yeah it was bandpass filtered, but everything in that filter made it through
• freedom of usage, it was hard-fought but you could plug anything into your phone line, from more phones to answering machines to computer modems. There was a whole market around “dumb shit you plugged into your phone line” products

We’re still way better overall with cell phones, but something was lost to get them.

The facts

What the cinnamon toast fuck is this? I’d tag it as a public art installation and tag the crossing separately as unmarked.

As the saying goes, “graphene can do anything except leave the lab”

Am I misreading this, or is there something about lust that’s specifically ADHD?

Yeah, I started meds for this and it just… Turned off. Not much else happened and it was like I had taken off a heavy backpack I didn’t know I was wearing.

Unciv is so good

I have, and I actually got this fancy Japanese manual solder sucker with a silicone nib. It’s pretty fantastic for most things, but the analog stick is still stuck. I may try again some day, but I learned long ago that frustration and electronics projects don’t mix.

Oh jeez, the security nightmares I’ve seen here keep me up at night. You’re doing good work, fixing what you could from the inside of where you worked.

No, you might be a primitivist, feudalist, syndicalist, or any of many other ways of organizing society. What you adopt will depend on your values and how you perceive the relationship between people and capital. Ultimately the labels are helpful up to a point, because the application of theory, or praxis, will manifest in ways to meet the need of your time.

Just to get ahead of it, capitalist can mean both one who supports capitalism as a way to organize society, and one who owns capital. From context it’s clear we mean the former definition.

i want to close the app and go on with my day

That’s exactly the “problem” being portrayed here, the expected/ideal mode of interaction with social media is compulsive and perpetual. It’s the best way to maximize advertisement exposure. I’m not opposed to the slot machine of content, but it’s absolutely reasonable to expect users to want to go on with their day.
