magnets man how do they work

regular camera that took shots of the office coffee pot?

well it predated ‘digital’ cameras, was around when film was still big - 1993.

128x128px greyscale feed was achieved with a video camera connected to an Acorn Archimedes quipped with a video capture card.

JD VANCE INTENSIFYING

haha that would be awesome. no for real.

Also she raised millions for the march of dimes, did dozens of events for years until her death. So like, if extrapolated, she would have helped beat polio and a slew of other diseases as her powers grew. Fuck yeah.

yep. feel like we are in for one wild ride.

i missed it… why do we suddenly care about potash?

yeah balki doesn’t do well

sitting through any length of jre is going to either waste your time or expose you to hours of garbage.

why?

Zhang Wei can change his name to whatever the fuck he wants he’ll still ve Zhang Wei TikTok

could you imagine the shitshow if the next time a ceo was attacked the guy was named Mario?

Then Link?

oh shit it’s supersmashocracy

seveneves was a banger, if you haven’t read it just go in hot.

you’re picking a fight that doesn’t exist.

have fun talking to yourself.

The only downside to the loss of physical media

and the fact that it can easily be stolen. I’ve had multiple large CD catalogues stolen, both in college and as an adult. Thousands and thousands of dollars of music <poof> gone.

No one has stolen my ripped music.

YMMV, but CDs are easy to gank enmasse. If it was all vinyl they would have had to take multiple trips pushing a dolly.

In the day of AI, will we ever have a new alternative?

perhaps we’ll see a resurgence of value added platforms that ensure it’s all human generated information. not an easy problem but… if there’s demand

Then start to think about how everyone else is going to react and how I’ll need to plan for that.

yeah that’s an interesting consideration.

They’re still arrogant as fuck and most of the world can’t stand Europeans.

lol and what utopia do you hail from? bet it’s full of assholes and bastards too

Their countries are gonna get hardcore trashed in the process.

russia doesn’t even have the best military IN RUSSIA.

their three day special operation has gone over 1000 days so far. 400,000 dead and wounded russians.

pfft. I genuinely hope they make a go at Finland, so the Fins can whip that ass SO FUCKING MUCH, AGAIN.

I remember the 80s when high sulphur coal was the norm, and we had problem with the sulphur emissions causing acid rain; I def. don’t want to return to that…

ah yes, my youth…

edit: $250 per ton sounds cheap if it works.

of course it’ll probably blind the penguins or some other horrible shit. monkey’s paw we live in and all.

yeeeah but:

the impacts of methane releases which spike with burnoff impact the atmosphere for decades. we’re continuing to feed it.
coal - for all it’s wretched problems from heavy metals to black lungs - added particulates that cut down on absorbed heat in the atmosphere.

we’re seeing the same unanticipated effect with the move from the worst bunker fuel (high sulphate) may let in more heating energy because we’re taking the worst fine particulate exhausts out… https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-how-low-sulphur-shipping-rules-are-affecting-global-warming/

some times you’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t. That said, both the transition to cleaner fuel and the end of coal need to happen, but also we need to start planning for the end of LNG as well.

good luck, have fun friends

I love the idea of a bunch of rando’s purchasing LNG shipping and just thinking… step one, done… step two, profit!

it’s so fantastically complex it’s hilarious
