You’re not perceiving the picture correctly, the stub-looking thing on the left for docking is around a foot high. The side of the canal is at least 4 feet and the middle at least 7 feet deep. Mobile camera lens do not give adequate perception, as such, like with taking a photo of the moon.

Haha, I love how a guy called Ian made a ‘secure shoelace knot’

As a physics teacher (not kidding here), if you want to be taught straight out the electron wave functions in 3 dimensions in high school you might consider not doing undergraduate physics. And I don’t think I’d bother being a physics teacher when more than 90% of my class don’t understand what I’m talking about.

From the wiki article:

The stingray, possibly mistaking Irwin’s shadow for a tiger shark, suddenly “propped on its front” and stabbed Irwin several times with its tail.

It is presumably the only known human death by stingray.

A backup 3 months old off-site. That doesn’t sound like a very recent backup 🌝

The elderly I expect come from a generation of school students who were not taught critical thinking. The elderly are exposed probably more to the whims of the media than young people are, and coupled with cognitive decline and lack of critical thinking, their brains are easily rewired and indoctrinated. Think about the number of voters you can sway.

Not to mention that destroying quite a few refineries and storages of oil has just released quite a fair bit of extra emissions, and wasn’t utilised at all. 0% efficient use.

Gosh, the one frame probably didn’t even have a reference time to work from.

A backscratcher

Ah I didn’t know gorillas had that function built in

People forgetting ecological disasters again. History repeats.

I replaced a fan on my Lenovo ThinkPad so yeah, it wasn’t difficult except for that moment of adding the right amount of thermal paste.

Great showerthoughts from this one

Mandatory military service, gun training, and guns are owned in a context of national security.

Whereas in US it’s a ‘self-defence’ thing so apparently US citizens can fire off a gun in quite a few legal/illegal circumstances. That got extended to school shootings.

Wouldn’t happen in Switzerland as it seems to be more a collective national defence protocol.

But that will just make it bla… Oh…

When you’re dead I’m sure it will be noticeable.

I reckon that applies when you’re working for a company but freelance (or own company) you may inevitably start to overlap public and private life.

I’d say no. As they say, find your passion, and if you make money using that passion, you’re good for life.

They’ll only be testing missiles with a dummy warhead. All countries (except NK) are no longer conducting these tests.

I think the difference is that it was already your passion rather than a hobby.
