You’re only allowed to be right about one thing at a time. That’ll be six-and-a-quarter million dollars for your arrogance, and also how dare you?

Yes. Someone has been trying real hard to make AI-gen Harrypotter Scifi happen. It’s not going to happen.

Hard agree. Wool is amazing. The good stuff doesn’t scratch, either.

Yeah well that’s what I get for giving electrical engineering advice with an electrician’s education. I should go to school.

I strongly recommend against it as you will probably break your monitor trying to get the sealed case open, but if you did get to the LED and cut it out, measure the resistance, and replace it with a resistor of similar resistance, that should nip any changes to current flow in the bud. Again, I stress, the most likely thing that happens here is you break your monitor trying to open it.

Personally, I recommend you just set a reminder to turn it off before you go to sleep.

I tend to agree. It’s DIY tensegrity, and not really offensive as such. I wouldn’t buy it, but there’s $55 worth of material and labor and creativity here.

Yeah okay cortana.

An artificial intelligence designed to the task could, but

Negotiated the end of the vietnam war is a fucking TAKE

Okay, interesting, but how about this: just discard the 13 stars, since nobody cares about new england actually. set the number of stripes to just two with red on the bottom half and white on top, then make the blue stretch all the way to the bottom and probably make it a little less wide to compensate, then center the lone star among the blue sky. I think that’d be a much better flag.

You are absolutely right to be skeptical. There are a great many downsides to this technology. Getting it grimy, pointing it out of the sky, cloud cover, etc. will nullify any cooling effect. And yes, the DIY preparation shown would be completely destroyed by a powerwasher, or even a moderate storm. That said, I read recently of a university of maryland research team made an improved coating, allowing the nanospheres to withstand significantly increased weathering while still remaining effective.

What’s this? Did you rehost it so we dont give google the traffic?

we puttin clickbait in titles now. everyone is just okay with that i guess.

It’s like the other sort options, except it prioritizes communities with fewer subs, so that you’ll see content from smaller communities more often.

On the topic of The Matrix, I’m surprised by the number of people who think that Matrix 1 2 & 3 are the only Matrices. In my opinion, The Animatrix is better than both sequels combined, by a lot, and most people seem to have never heard of it. If you’re a fan of The Matrix, watch The Animatrix!

The 1973 BBC Radio Dramatization of Asimov’s Foundation. It’s about eight hours long and the voice work is quite good. It’s comfortable for me to listen to and come back to, very digestible. One complaint: I’ve yet to find a version that had properly equalized sound levels, so the comfortable listing volume for their speech throughout the work is suddenly jarringly loud when they switch to the machine-clacking “encyclopedia” segments that serve as segues between parts of the story. Other than that, I have no complaints: It’s a fairly faithful adaptation of the original work, and does not suffer from the fatigue and dating many other works do (in my opinion, audio balancing notwithstanding).
