There already IS a ballroom in there, it’s just not very large. And watch him hire companies he gets kickbacks from.

Had to explain it to a coworker. I’m glad you have lots of people around you who know big words. :)

 

If you don’t know what it means, you’re probably going to need to look it up.

Yeah, I’ve seen some clever stuff where they take a solar powered light and wire in a Heltec V3 for $30-$40. But I thought one of the new upcoming standards (WiFi? Cell?) incorporated a mesh capability.

Nice article on Meshtastic. The problem is that, like anything, the actual distance is a lot more dependent on line of sight and the actual mesh existing. Which means we’d need a LOT more people to adopt these and put up repeaters for them to be useful. Which is doable, but not cheap.

Slower reaction times? Yup. I think Mythbusters even covered it.

It’s okay, that camera over there recognized you and matched it to your high school yearbook

Anybody know where the recipe is?

[–] Mbourgon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks for the clarification. I figured there was something you could bet against, but forgot about futures. Appreciate it!

And who will be working those farms? But I’m sure somebody in the administration figured a way to short a stock involving it, somehow

(Hint: say it aloud)

It’s the whole “but her emails” crowd about how Hillary using her personal email server is the proof she’s in league with Satan - but then this (or Signal-gate, etc) happens and they conveniently ignore it.

Missed this album (and its counterpart, TimeSilentRadio 1, which has 2 long tracks) coming out this spring. I’ve been a huge fan of them since the early 90s - Suffocating The Bloom and As The World were both incredible albums, and it’s always good to see a new album from them.

File under “modern melodic prog”.

 

One of the last Cynic albums, from 2014. Combination of ethereal and metal, more pronounced here than in previous albums

 

Little bit of math, little bit of prog, mostly instrumental, some piano, pretty.

Came across this on Mastodon: https://owlsintowels.org/ Apologies if dupe but I don’t remember it.

From https://glammr.us/@overholt/114575283647930047

“Wildlife rehabilitators often wrap owls in fabric so they can be weighed, treated, and fed. If not, the owls get in a flap.

The result? Loads of pictures of #owlsintowels“

 

Would it be possible to make an option to flip colors somewhat as indentations occur? I think the first three colors are red/green or green/red, but can’t tell.

 

Howdy. Love the app, but something’s confused me for a while. I’m on two iOS devices, and when I read on one, it doesn’t seem to be read on the other - I wind up seeing the device on both.

I have “mark read on scroll” on, as well as “auto hide read posts”, but it still keeps happening. Is this a Voyager issue? A Lemmy.world issue? Many thanks!

 

This hits the sweet spot for me. Super complex guitar work, interesting patterns, some electronica buried in the mix. Not quite animals as leaders, but definitely similar and you can see them from here.

Link is to the video, here’s the new album: https://youtu.be/ByaaQG0g1ZQ

An underwater camera set up 55 years ago to try and photograph the Loch Ness Monster has been found by accident by a robot submarine.

The ocean-going yellow sub - called Boaty McBoatface - was being put through trials when its propeller snagged the mooring for the 1970s camera system.

It is believed it was lowered 180m (591ft) below the loch's surface by the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau, a group set up in the 1960s to uncover the existence of Nessie in the waters.

No footage of Nessie has been found on the camera, but one of the submarine's engineers was able to develop a few images of the loch's murky waters.

 

Seen at a national park.

 

It bulks it up, it stretches it out, it lowers the taste some.
