Hey, have you seen those Japanese? They have curved swords. Curved... Swords...!
Another one? Another one...
Considering how this graph... Hmm... Shall we say... Takes a number of creative liberties with actual history surrounding these great women, doesn't this graph undermine its own message?
Don't. Because this graph takes more than just a few liberties with history, specifically for the sake of creating some kind of outrage.
Of course! Because otherwise it would mean all the mystique is gone! And if the mistique is gone, people can't imagine they're supposed to be starship landing pads!
Or lay-line powered aura cleansing structures.
Or part of an ancient technology global warning system.
Or a physical star chart pointing to the origins of the Egyptians.
Or hydrogen fusion power generators.
Or piezoelectric resonance generators.
Or... Some... Other things I probably forgot about. But it's certainly, beyond a shadow of a doubt, NOT a tomb of some egotistical man that believed himself a god on the Earth!
No, that knife isn't made of atoms, that knife is made of pure solid quarks. That's why it can cut atomic nuclei.
"Please make Gimp relevant" would be a pretty interesting pull request.
Ah. So gimp is going to stop being 15 years out of date and instead going to be just 10 years out of date. Cool.
Nice to see some good news for once.
White bicycle helmet with the company logo in bright orange on the front.
Bright orange rain jacket with reflective strips and the company logo in white on the front and back.
For days that aren't rainy; a mostly featureless zippable bright orange hoody with the company logo in white on the chest.
For sunny days; a mostly featureless bright orange t-shirt, two of cotton, two of polyester, with the company logo in white on the chest.
A black rain pants with reflectors and the company name in white written on its side along the legs.
A large, cubic, expandable bright orange thermally insulated back-pack with reflectors and the company logo in white on the sides.
From these screenshots it's very easy to tell which one is Star Trek and which one is NuTrek.
Just because Russia is doing it doesn't mean it's fine for Ukraine to do it too. Bad guys target civilians.
Isn't Sims 2 still the most robust and fleshed out Sims out there?
Now that is something that needs a whole lot more attention.
Yeah, but when people get dramatic about bees dying they're almost exclusively talking about the honey bee. A lot of people don't understand there are other kinds of bee.
When I look up metrics for bee populations dying I've not found anything that talks about bees outside of the honey making industry.
Yeah, there's that too. Honey bees are native here in Europe, but they're foreign to America. America has their own bee populations, but they don't produce honey. Or at least, none of the native species are the kind of bee the industry used for honey production.
First a definition for this question, because there are many kinds of sci-fi out there and they sometimes liberally use cool sounding words without explaining them:
A disruptor is a kind of weapon that weakens, or "disrupts", either material bonds (breaking a material into molecules), molecular bonds (breaking a molecule into atoms), or atomic bonds (breaking an atomic nucleus into protons, netrons, and free electrons. Almost like instantly turning into plasma).
Temperature can do these things, but the idea behind a disruptor, specifically, is that it happens through some kind of catalyst, rather than brute-forcing with insane amounts of heat.
Would such a weapon physically be possible (even if we don't know how to make them just yet)?
How would a target realistically behave when hit by a disruptor?
So, I have a Steelseries M800 keyboard and a Corsair mouse. Unfortunately neither of them are supported by Open RGB, and so I'm stuck with my RGB making rainbows.
Well, sort of. My keyboard still has the configuration it had from when I still used Windows over 2 years ago. But my mouse does not.
I use an XP Pen tablet for making art, and the official driver from XP Pen doesn't come with any options to adjust and calibrate the screen's colours, but I managed to figure out how to access these hardware settings through command line. Now this has me wondering if it's possible to do the same for my keyboard and mouse.
I have a 2nd generation XP Pen Artist 13. It's a great tablet and I've managed to make it work with my Steam Deck too.
But...
It's basically an external monitor with pressure sensitive surface, so still less portable than an actual stand alone table. So I'm wondering if there is a tablet with a pressure sensitive screen and battery free pen that either comes with Linux or can install Linux on.
The programs I use for making art are Krita, Gimp, and Blender 3D.
There are many other bee species that can sting Humans and survive, but the European honeybee has a barbed stinger, so it cannot remove the stinger once it's stung. In attempting to remove the stinger the bee will rupture its lower abdomen and then die.
Why? What is the evolutionary advantage to that?

I apologize if this video has already been posted here. I did a rudimentary look through the posts of the past few days and couldn't see it.
Recently discovered The Art of Noise by looking up Max Headroom. Found a bunch of tracks I like that fit well with my already existing Spotify playlists.
However, I want to find more music like three of the dance tracks on the album Dreaming. specifically like the tracks "Colour Red", "Colour Maroon", and "Colour White".
Any recommended tracks/albums/artists?
I want to get back into reading, so I'm thinking of getting a Paperwhite. But I have no idea if it's possible to transfer files to it from a computer, and I have no experience with pirating books.
Do I go to the same places I torrent movies and games or are there special places dedicated to E-Books?
EDIT: So many awesome answers on here! You guys have been very helpful. Thanks a lot!
