Cosmic rays??

Because I've seen the movie Club Dread, I now always read the name "Penelope" as "Pee-nell-oh-p". Cursed.

Vera C. Rubin LSST is amazing. This app put together by the researchers to view the image data stitched together is also great.

It was pseudo-3D, I remember reading an article about how they made the sprites, but can't find that... wikipedia has

Donkey Kong Country was one of the first games for a mainstream home video game console to use pre-rendered 3D graphics

and they used SGI workstations to create the models and animations before compressing/converting them to 2D sprites

Rare invested their NES profit in Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI) Challenge workstations with Alias rendering software to render 3D models. It was a significant risk, as each workstation cost £80,000.

(sharing bc I thought that's a crazy amount of money for 1992)

I'm so sorry that you suffered through that. Thanks for creating this space ♥️

Great job! Quit 5+ years ago, though I've slipped and had a couple in that time. Not buying 'em was the biggest thing. Still want one whenever I see actors smoking in a movie or show... so the craving never quite goes all the way away.

I never realized how much it makes you smell until I stopped and could immediately smell it on anyone, no matter how hard they tried to hide it.

Beat me to it! Such a beautiful painting

Fkn love Kedgeree. Wife and I have a tradition on our anniversaries of making a fancy meal together, which is how I first tried this dish! Thanks for the recipe, will be cooking it next time we make it

Makes me think of the comic East of West by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Dragotta. The character of Death rode a robot horse:

I don't remember exactly what's in my old desktop that I converted (traveling and I still haven't set up tailscale sadly), but it has

• 1 6TB WD red for storage
• some other number of drives also as lvs
• 32GB RAM
• an i5 (9th gen i think?)
• An Nvidia 750Ti (lol)

Then I'm only running

• sonarr
• radarr
• prowlarr
• flaresolverr
• homepage.dev
• qbittorrent
• jellyfin

as a docker compose project/system service on Debian server, and I have a Raspi4 running Kodi/OSMC with the jellyfin plugin for streaming to TV

This was an old desktop I had laying around that was a hackintosh when I was doing digital art professionally, and I figured I'd toy with converting it. One day I'd like to get to a full-fledged setup like yours, but need time and $$

Beautiful pencil work
