guy needs to focus on his tall cats instead of his opinions

this reminds me of this one guy in the french revolution who was up for sentencing during guillotine times and the judge got his last name wrong by adding the de and the fella was like "hey judge i'm here to be made shorter, not longer" and the judge thought that was so funny that they let him go

every piece of modern communication software falls on a scale somewhere between "not cops" and "cops"

Signal is decently far towards not cops. telegram is right in the middle. discord is very cops

none in the tensor, extreme in the diy lamp judging by those exposed AC terminals

fuck yes

My dad showed me some AI-colorized footage of Germany from the 20s. It turned all the cars purple and green and other bright colors... the specific shades you see hot rods painted in.

Tensor's innovation was taking advantage of the galvanic isolation provided by the transformer using the hardware of the lamp as one leg of the circuit, so they only had to run a single wire

looking at the executive summary of this movie this seems laser-targeted at you

i think it's just the rectifier made by US&S. my guess is that a machinist or engineer built this thing as a task lamp.

ah. three hundred twenty. i have plenty of tensor lamps already

...how much do they want for it

this looks like an early equivalent of a Tensor transformer lamp. they used 12v bulbs to get sharp light, since lower voltage means a shorter filament that burns hotter (and thus cooler, color temperature wise)

in 2007, steve jobs promised an all-in-one device that would serve as a cell phone, an ipod, and an internet device. what he introduced next was the Mac Pack: a 135-pound backpack with a pull-over steel dome housing a computer monitor, a 14-foot aerial antenna, and a 900-foot retractable power cable

White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

in retrospect i think the "zombie" tv/movie craze that encouraged everyone to fantasize about how theyd murk all their neighbors, hole up in their house and eventually run into the woods , was a mistake

this bong rip is for you boys. cheers on the frameworks

an adaptation of the sandy loam chart, aka, a triangle where each side is an axis from 0 100, forming triangular little pockets in the center in a pseudo-3-axis chart form. the three axes are "hoinky sploinky" "doinky woinky" and "rinky dinky," each with a "pure" form (penis music, furret walk, and ukelele covers respectively). there is a minor screed here about electroswing sucking, which it does.

After trillions of Euro in investment and years of grueling (and some say dangerous) experimentation, the Large Pasta Collider has yielded another critical breakthrough in the fundamental physics of pasta dishes.

It was never about "doing it the right way."
