I have long pondered a comedy set in the Star Wars universe. Maybe some beer-swilling, rowdy Jedi. And fortunately Auralnauts fulfilled my dream: https://youtu.be/WSCm8yAxBr8?si=QC1SNiLAMAu1rE0T
Some of the later entries in the series are a bit weak, but there are always worthwhile punchlines.
:( indeed. This got me right in the feels.
We hoi polloi think in money numbers and what we can afford to purchase. For the Capital Class, it’s all about power. Money is just how they keep score.
Ever see a toucan in person? I had an employee with a toucan he would sometimes bring into work. It could throw things, especially round fruit, with uncanny accuracy. Like it could easily play catch from at least 2m away.
Glaucous-winged gulls also seem to have uncanny accuracy with defecation, but that’s not quite throwing.
Kind of an oversimplification here: Moiré is a form of interference pattern, in this case the “grid” of OP’s image has a different pitch from the grid on your phone or computer display. By continuously changing the zoom (in contrast to discontinuously), the interference pattern shifts to create “peaks and valleys.” Here’s some more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moiré_pattern
I want to know who the hell downvoted Freddie.
Did anyone else click and zoom for fun moiré effect?
I use a bar soda siphon.
According to Consumer Reports, Topo Chico consistently tested the highest for PFAS among carbonated waters. But they also said almost all store-bought carbonated waters tested positive for PFAS.
Our social media and blog are severely neglected, in large part because of surveillance and chokepoint capitalism (see: Cory Doctorow). But this would probably be the best entry point into our socials: https://youtube.com/@svcascadia
then we popped the stern tube during an engine test (40 years worth of copper corrosion)…
0_0 HFS! Glad you’re okay AND saved your necessarily minimal (because boat) belongings!
We live on an ocean-going sailboat. We make our own water and electricity. We have ~25 years of membranes, filters, and most parts. While we have the means to move around to cooler climes, going further northward means more severe storms and shorter working life of everything. So there’s that consideration.
Having the escape hatch of the boat does a lot to ease the anxiety.
Other coping mechanisms:
I’m sure I’m skipping over some of my other copium prescriptions, but those are the most salient.
TIL Commode Door is a rank. Is that role tasked with containing the dark humours?
Inb4: yes, I know it’s “commodore.”
How do I subscribe to acoustic propagation facts?
Sailing, scuba diving, cooking a big meal for friends, having a lazy start morning sipping coffee with my partner.
Right there with ya. Oh, I tried so hard. Walking and junk collection simulators in a depressing, ugly setting. The humorous bits are way too infrequent to make up for the litany of misery.
A recumbent racing league would be awesome, both fared and non-faring
Oooooh! I’d watch this. Hell, I’d probably get back into racing. And I don’t even like recumbents that much (but still think they are the superlative design for most people). Without the UCI interference, we’d see some crazy cool stuff. I feel like the best we can get right now are the recumbent speed/distance records.
The UCI could fuck up a wet dream. They actively harm the advancement of bicycling. Whenever the UCI starts administering a race type, that whole industry sector is permafuct. Disc brakes (regardless of how one might feel about discs) were banned for many years, resulting in delay of that technology despite the demand being there. Recumbents are a superlative bicycle design for most humans, but thanks UCI ban.
One of the main reasons gravel bikes have innovated so quickly is because the UCI has yet to stick its stupid nose into the races. But they’ll be along shortly to ruin the fun.
If my juggling of balls catches your fancy, you might also be interested to know that I also smoke meat, play the flute, and churn butter. 😆
Religion now throws a null pointer exception?
