Fiber helps with that as well.

Yeah that's the faster solution. I like the convenience of having the drip/cauldron system right next to my smelters.

You can use stalactites and cauldrons to duplicate lava source blocks, then use lava buckets for heating the furnaces. It does take a lot of iron to make enough cauldrons though.

Those gang signs will get her in trouble.✌️

Little jars are great to hold screws when you need to take something apart to work on it.

Yeah. The bill is about banning the use of AI or other editing to make it looks like candidates or public officials said or did something that did not happen.

I'm not looking to debate how this might be abused or if it is warranted, but the sensationalized headline is very misleading.

They're much too crunchy imo. They really hurt my mouth and throat.

Hi-lift jacks as well.

Thermal insulation: yes

There's uncharred wood less than an inch from glowing embers. That temperature differential is kinda insane. Wood is a great thermal insulator. It just happens to also be a fuel.

People focus on Katy Perry as representative of the whole stunt, because she has been portrayed as the main figure all along.

Pop star Katy Perry and five other women safely returned to Earth after reaching space aboard Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin rocket. - BBC article immediately after the flight

They literally pulled a Katy Perry et al. Do you think that framing just happened without any input from KP and her publicists? Did Katy Perry use her ample airtime to credit all the female engineers that actually worked for years made the flight happen, or to correct notions about the flight not actually accomplishing any significant firsts? Katy Perry gladly took the center of the media spotlight, so naturally people use her image as emblematic when ridiculing the stunt. She is a vapid celebrity doing annoying celebrity messaging like "making space and science glam."

"This is all for the benefit of Earth," she added.

Katy Perry is an eager participant in the outrageous messaging around the flight. She earned the ridicule, not by being a woman, but by acting ridiculously.

If you have 41 minutes to spare, this rant from a theoretical physicist does a good job explaining why people react negatively to the publicity surrounding the space tourism launch.

A lot of it boils down to the fact that women have been instrumental in traditional space programs all along. Publicizing passengers on a tourism flight as if they are pushing boundaries is insulting to all the professionals who dedicated their careers to actually expanding boundaries. They aren't even the first all women crew as claimed. Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova flew a solo mission on Vostok 6 in 1963

The media messaging on the flight has been terrible and regressive. Complaining about that isn't misogynistic.
