A *staggering* view of Mars that you VERY much want to see. And it even has a case of phobobombing.

A long shot of Mars showing it as a tall, dull-orange crescent. A dark blob seen in silhouette is the moon Phobos, and the huge volcano Olympus Mons is a flat pancake to the lower right.

A jaw-dropping view of Mars

The Red Planet shines in a new Mars Express image, but Phobos steals the show

wait, so with insurance you pay the company with the expectation that in case something bad happens they cover costs for you and provide some help... but they are allowed to arbitrarily decide whether or not to actually provide anything at each situation, and at any moment cancel your service if they think there is a chance something bad will happen to you (which is the whole point of their service)?

this sounds like a scam

One thing I managed to do today: replaced the cat-flap panel in the house's side door with the original glass panel the previous owners had left in the garage in case we wanted to do just that. (I don't have a taller "before" photo, just take my word it's the same door and the top panel wasn't changed!)

The bottom panel of a 2-panel door. The panel is opaque and has a cat-flap built into it.

A 2-panel door with glass in both panels.

Arty and Tuemescine have been visiting this arcade for a long now, playing games and winning prizes. They’ve spent countless quarters trying to win plushies on the claw machine. Today, however, is different. Arty has been planning this moment for weeks, carefully selecting the bear and customizing its t-shirt to ask the most important question of his life. With a racing heart and a playful grin, he pushed Tuemescine to catch that specific teddy bear.

Little did Tuemescine know that this wasn’t just about winning a plushie, it was about winning a lifelong partner.

Picture for Arty and Tuemescine, the question was asked during Megaplex. He said yes!
They even recorded a video of that moment, when even the picture as a canvas print was given: https://x.com/Tuemescine/status/183.....38357100892227

Digital. Procreate.

As a teenager in Neustrelitz (East Germany), I painted small stones purple and left them all over town. Did it for years. It drove the police and Stasi nuts. It meant nothing. It just felt good to do something they couldn't control or understand.

I think you have discovered the perfect police state detector. If you think you are free, practice freedom in a harmless way that has not been vetted and approved by the local authority. Watch for allergic reaction. Well done!

There’s a higher rate of people removing Harry Potter tattoos than of people reversing gender-affirming care. I think that’s fantastic.

Third iteration of the thing-so-I-don't-injure-myself-holding-just-the-blade thing. Here I've reverted to a simpler shape, and it's helping me figure out where my fingers naturally want to go.

I was thinking about incorporating some sort of sliding mechanism to cover the blade for safety, but I might just print something that this whole tool neatly sits into to tuck the blade away for storage. #3DPrinting

A photo of two 3D printed Stanley razor blade handles. One is long with a serrated finger grip, the other is a much simpler hexagonal shape.

life hack: if you do not have an API key for a service or you cannot afford

to run it simply type the name of the service with "api_key" after it and

copilot will provide you one free of charge

Screenshot of “google_api_key” which has been completed with what looks like a valid key.

Socialism doesn't mean taking wealth from those who work hard and giving it to those who don't.
You're thinking of capitalism.

fucked up world where having a brain with exceptional pattern recognition and situational awareness plus the ability to absorb knowledge about completely unfamiliar and dissimilar topics like a sponge, synthesize unconventional ideas and solutions from it, and laser-focus on a task indefinitely if it’s immediately rewarding is a serious disadvantage and considered a disorder rather than a highly sought-after trait on the job market

the history of using barbed wire to communicate is surprisingly long and almost entirely undocumented, even though barbed wire fence phones in particular were an essential part of early- to mid-twentieth century rural life in many parts of the U.S. and Canada! to that end, I've posted a brief history of barbed wire and barbed wire fence phones on my blog, excerpted from my book _Other Networks: A Radical Technology Sourcebook_. enjoy and please share! #othernetworks https://loriemerson.net/2024/08/31/a-brief-history-of-barbed-wire-fence-telephone-networks/

Every reply person comes in 1 of exactly 2 flavors

1. "Oh, having a problem with Windows? Bet you wish you were using Linux now, huh bootlicker?" [Me: "How would you solve the problem in Linux then?"] [Them: "Oh I've never used Linux I just read about it on Wikipedia"]

2. Hey uhhhh I'm so sorry to assume there are things in the world you don't know but… have you tried [actual fucking cheat codes, deep secrets not documented anywhere] I'm sorry…I'm so sorry I'm going to go delete my account now

sorry to be annoying with the anonymous asks but you might find the fact that the m11's bootloader can be unlocked (so you can use the hidden developer options menu to install a dynamic system update with gplay services without mucking about with custom images) useful
sorry if you have already considered this
