Woot! Heavy timber construction!

Croissant starts at $2.99 per month, or you can pay $19.99 per year or a one-time fee of $59.99. That’s probably too much for casual posters, granted—McCarthy says the intended audience is really small business owners and creators “who use social media professionally, but is not their full time job.”

I can see the appeal of the annual cost—even the one-time fee. If you post at least once a week, that’s 156 posts across platforms per year. Add Instagram into the mix and now you’re at 208.

I thought X is Twitter

Imagine having to factory reset a kidney to perform better in a transplant.

Damn, and here I thought Covid was supposed to make my memory worse.

I’m concerned for my American friends that have just elected a leader that believes that, and I’m paraphrasing here, “if they stopped testing, they wouldn’t have any cases” as well as hired a guy firmly bent on undermining vaccines and vaccine information.

Ok waste paper, mhmm, coffee, yep, microwave, good thinking—

FORM A UNION

Woah, woah calm down Satan.

I’ve never even thought to access BlueSky via anything but the ‘following’ tab. Wow!

The irony isn’t lost on me!

Most likely an unpopular opinion, but I took this opportunity to try something new and made the switch to macOS at home as my daily device. If I do end up gaming, I’ll probably just get myself a Steam Deck.

tl;dr maybe don’t sleep where you print

Does this mean that 3D printing causes cancer? No, not by a long shot. But, it’s clear that under lab conditions, exposure to either PLA or ABS particulates seems to be related to some of the cell changes associated with carcinogenesis.

So much for the goodwill of fediverse integration.

wow

So one banana.

Just for comparison: the energy density of gasoline and diesel is around 10,000 Wh/kg.

Never knew about this metric before.

I’m looking forward to the instant benefits for e-bikes!

You could relive booting up your computer at breakfast to get it ready to use by lunchtime.

The implications of this change in the inner core’s movement for Earth’s surface can only be speculated. Vidale said the backtracking of the inner core may alter the length of a day by fractions of a second: “It’s very hard to notice, on the order of a thousandth of a second, almost lost in the noise of the churning oceans and atmosphere.”

The USC scientists’ future research aspires to chart the trajectory of the inner core in even greater detail to reveal exactly why it is shifting.

“The dance of the inner core might be even more lively than we know so far,” Vidale said.

That’s a lot of bASS.

I think they really nailed the natural titanium colour. Looking forward to the new colours in September.

The actual total two-way communication distance between Zhang and his patient was more than 20,000km, a considerable challenge since longer distances can cause more latency, or delay, between the surgeon’s console in one location, and the response of the robotic arms at the other location.

In this case, China’s 5G telecommunication network helped to lower the delay to a 135 millisecond latency, less that the 200 millisecond latency that various studies have identified as ideal for telesurgery.

I never would have guessed Cyber Surgeon could be on the Work From Home bingo card.
