4 months agoYeah, I instinctively tried to open mine with vinyl gloves on once and immediately thought “I’m dumb, gotta take these gloves off first.” That was a good shock when it actually worked first try, much confusion…

That’s a funny way to spell “church officials raping kids…”
Editorial watering down like this is disgusting. Even if it wasn’t intentional, if you as the reporter aren’t comfortable calling sexual abuse rape in a headline and have to water it down to “harm,” that’s another reason to keep it full-strength. If it makes people mad, good. The truth should make people mad in cases like this.

Hahaha, this stupid Jotunn wants to be struck! Time for target practice!
I’ll die trying to pet something I shouldn’t, and at least get to cuddle with a lion cub before mommy lion rips my throat out.

Jigga deez nuts!
31·8 months agoEvaporation isn’t the breakdown of 2(H2O) --> 2(H2) + O2 (hydrogen and oxygen) like electrolysis… It’s just water molecules overcoming the intermolecular force and not wanting to be liquid anymore, H2O(l) --> H2O(g), still just water and sadly no good as a fuel.
2·9 months agoHaving considered the military, I think enlistment should absolutely remain at 18 so you have time to rise in grade and get special training if your going to be a pilot etc. The problem with alcohol is Americans are too stupid at 18 (and even 21 in some cases) to drink responsibly… Which is a problem with Americans, not alcohol at 18 (or at least it doesn’t seem to be a problem in Europe). If America made the drinking age 18, a quarter of our dumbass population would be drunk within 24 hours…
9·9 months agoI find the opposite to be true for me, but I’m the type that will sit down and read a textbook for entertainment as well. Purely informative podcasts, not entertainment etc. I’ve learned a lot of philosophy and ancient history via Spotify actually, it’s a very useful medium for information access, for those so inclined.
I, for one, (a vampire Goth) fear for my life when our werewolf overlords enter society …
And that trait does exist in nature already, it’s just rare and mostly useless until environmental pressures only allow those individuals to reproduce.
You overlook the cost it takes to get that qualification in the first place… No one can just go up there and fly a plane unless you’re willing to spend every penny in your savings and take out multiple loans to get there…
In most US states you need to have a decree of name change notarized by the county clerk, or issued by a family court if. Not that hard to do, but a lot more formal and government-involved than the UK process.

14·11 months agoHi, amateur citizen scientist here.
James Webb space telescope has 2 major imagery instruments, and a couple others for alignment and spectrography. All these instruments are in varying portions of the infrared spectrum.
When making an observation, JWST uses NIRCam, a near-infrared imager, to take a series of images. There are two identical sensors in NIRCam, which capture adjacent portions of the sky in both a short and a long IR channel. There are also two filter wheels that take the images with an array of slitless filters.
Many images also use MIRI, a mid-infrared instrument that generally produces slightly less dazzling (but still amazing) pictures, but very valuable scientific data that allows us to see the most redshifted galaxies. MIRI also has an array of 9 filters. This instrument allows JWST to see farther into the universe than ever before.
But this is only where observations begin. While terabytes of grayscale imagery and spectrographs are invaluable to scientific study, the public usually prefers more artistic presentations of humanity’s collective efforts. The image is still authentic - nothing is “edited” or “photoshopped” in the traditional sense. But it takes hours of painstaking work to “shift” the images from infrared into visible light.
After the series of filtered grayscale images are colorized in a way that makes sense in visible light, they are still a series of separate images from monochrome IR filters. An analogy would be to take a long exposure picture with red, yellow, green, blue, purple, violet, and red filters. The images are then overlayed to create a composite, like what you see here. Sometimes MIRI images are added with low opacity to showcase the mid-IR whisps of “dust” in some nebulas (mostly glowing gasses and plasma), invisible to all previous telescopes.
All the raw data from JWST is available as soon as it’s fully received and uploaded by NASA at the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST) run by the STScI, for both researchers and hobbyist like me. If you have a lot of storage space and some basic images processing skills (or are willing to spend an afternoon to learn), I highly recommend reading more about the process and trying it yourself.

As soon as I finish my degree lol.
And the Satanic Bible of course. And Nietzsche for the atheist philosophers, prose and poetic eddas for us heathens, some text or another for Wicca, and a Latin edition of Ars Goetia… right? No? Then I smell religious favoritism worthy of the supreme court.
