Somehow this reads like it was said by T-Rex of Dinosaur Comics (qwantz.com)

Edit: this was not a criticism, I now wish to mate with you

Do you have a full ranking or is this ex just your least favorite while the others float around the same general score?

Spending a day doing SEM and seeing fuck all then seeing this meme feels targeted

I don’t know if you’re memeing but for anyone else, it’s angstrom (Ångström originally, but the Swedish spelling is not needed or appreciated anymore >:( ), or 0.1 nm, 10^-10 m

I need context for why my feed is filled with corn today

Honestly subreddit simulator was amazing. At that time I was super into text generation, I programmed a few basic Markov chains as well. It is a shame that modern generative AI sucked the joy out of what I considered a fun toy at the time.

Not an American, but here’s how I see it: It’s ammo.

To Trump supporters, deporting immigrants is seen as a good thing that he’s doing. But they also usually have a staunch anti-LGBTQ stance. Trump blowing a dude, regardless of if this bubba is or isn’t Bill Clinton, goes pretty hard against their stances. If there’s ever plausible evidence, it might be what makes Trump supporters see him for what he is to the rest of the world: a bumbling, lying idiot.

Putin potentially having such evidence further escalates this into yet another indicator that Trump might be playing his nation into Russia’s hands.

After a while you need to stop caring about the overall plot (which is pretty interesting on its own, but that is like drip fed to you) and start enjoying the arcs individually. Usually the structure is that they get to a new island, get to know the inhabitants and their culture and individual characters, the crew finds a mystery, problem or conspiracy, and they help the inhabitants. Quite often there are also multi-island plots that tie up all the plots of each individual island.

Admittedly the solution is always inevitably “Luffy punches the bad guy really hard in the face” while the rest of the characters are usually busy punching the bad guy’s underlings, but since you end up liking both the main characters and the characters they meet in each island (and the relatively rare but much beloved recurring characters), you don’t mind it as much.

Yeah, I’m always surprised at how common the opinion “one piece gets good after 50 episodes” is. One piece was pretty fun from the very start to me. Later episodes actually get worse for me because of how much they drag. I had to switch over to One Pace in dressrosa because I thought the actual plot was amazing, but I couldn’t handle the pace of the actual show.

Spin-coated fast food condiments coming soon

Your comment made me realize that used to be the same for me, but it’s been years since the last time I remember being given a straw. I guess they’re phasing them out

In Portugal, it’s very common to find bananas from the Madeira islands being sold in stores, even in like our equivalent of Walmart or Carrefour.

They’re like half the length of a Cavendish, a bit more tasty, but still very similar. I very much prefer them.

I know it’s not as exotic as your selection but it was something I was able to eat regularly and pretty accessibly there

Man, I think I’d prefer that outcome. Getting laid is easy compared to finding fun people to game with

Ah, not to worry, even professionally it’s very common to buy your wafers. I am on mobile data right now so I’ll check out those videos later!

Basically, every single machine that needs a vacuum chamber - so almost all non-wet processes, like physical/chemical vapor deposition, reactive ion etching, scanning electron microscopy (although a good optical microscope will do if you’re not at the nano scale… Which is almost certainly the case if you’re doing things at home).

Honestly maybe I’m just too used to the lab setting and am underestimating how much you can actually do without vacuum processing. I’ll take a look later: this all looked so out of the reach of an ordinary person that I never even considered following content creators who do this. Thank you!

Ah, no worries at all. Thank you for all you do anyway!

I love writing systems of all kinds, but besides Greek and Cyrillic (and my native Latin) I never really managed to dedicate enough time to memorize them long-term. All my Korean is gone and can only get like 30% of the Arabic alphabet now… It’s something I’d love to invest more tike into, actually.

(to be clear, when I say Arabic, it’s actually the farsi variation… only because I know a surprising number of Iranian people)

Wait, I work in cleanrooms professionally. Fabricating my own semiconductors at home always seemed like a cool idea, but really out of reach. I kind of always wanted to keep old machines from the labs I worked at, but with such expensive things they never threw anything away (of course)!

Isn’t it prohibitively expensive and/or noisy? What type of projects do you do?

You’re a very good person!

My mother’s dog was a dog we gave “temporary” shelter to… Five years ago. She’s 10 now and we couldn’t be happier. She came to us from a very difficult home situation (her previous owner had just escaped from a violent marriage, and we think the dog might have been a victim too, but nobody was ever able to prove anything). She’s still a little monster and she’s still very afraid of everything, but there’s no comparing how she was when we adopted her and how she is now.

I had an ex who lived somewhere where people often went to to abandon their dogs once they grew too old, too big or too aggressive. Her family also took in as many as they could: when we broke up, they had something along the lines of 10 dogs. It was very rewarding, too, as she got a good friend in each and every one of them. But it really hurts my heart to imagine that someone could be so cruel as to just abandon a dog like that, even hurt them.

It’s true that barely anyone is into actually contributing, but I assure you a fair amount of people are into the actual open source implementations and are thankful for your efforts!

Any game in particular you contributed to that you want to share?

Which anime? I don’t recall watching anything along those lines, but it sounds like a show I’d enjoy
