Robust Mirror

Just curious what’s your setup?

So, if you use it properly. Just like you wouldn’t use a fork for soup despite it being a utensil and food. Using a tool for what it’s good at and avoiding using it for things it’s bad at is part of using it properly.

I’ve made custom flashcards for anki to study stuff and I tested this for some similar things and it was a lot faster and easier. Anki feels like it takes forever so the investment to make a custom set is only worth it for things you need to study for a long time.

If all you want is to generate a bunch of flashcards fast and you have a pdf with the info presented clearly it’s an easy method.

But if you’re dropping them at the same time right next to each other, the earth is so large they would functionally be one object and pull the earth at the same combined acceleration.

Works for me.

World’s tiniest Fukuyama Castle model – the size of a strand of hair – created in Japan April 10, 2022 (Mainichi Japan)

FUKUYAMA, Hiroshima – Tiny enough to sit on a strand of hair but with the same elaborate exterior design is a 0.217-millimeter model of Fukuyama Castle, all but invisible to the naked eye, made by a precision metal parts manufacturer in this western Japan city.

(Mainichi/Shinji Kanto) Castem Co. in Fukuyama, Hiroshima Prefecture, created the miniature model on a scale of 1/170,000 of the actual castle tower, which measures 33.5 meters high, using a special 3D printer in cooperation with Kyoto University of Advanced Science in the city of Kyoto.

Yuki Toda, 34-year-old general manager of the company’s new business division, explained, “We infused manufacturing’s playful side into the world’s smallest model of Fukuyama Castle.”

Castem boasts advanced metal casting and fine processing technology, and has used 3D data to reproduce stainless steel models of paper cranes folded by the late Sadako Sasaki, who was exposed to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. It also made a 1/250-scale Fukuyama Castle key chain.

For about the past two years, the company has been working together with Kyoto University of Advanced Science to develop technology in the fields of 3D scanning and materials, and produce medical supplies.

The miniature Fukuyama Castle model was made to be about the same size as the thickness of a strand of hair using the university’s 3D printer and special resin, and its surface was coated with platinum. When looking at the model under a microscope, it is evident each of the tiles and the stone walls have been precisely crafted.

If the material is processed further, it is apparently possible to reproduce Fukuyama Castle with a height of 0.2 micrometers, which is 1,000 times smaller than the current miniature model. Fukuyama Mayor Naoki Edahiro looked impressed after observing the model under a microscope and said, “It is encouraging to see the display of Fukuyama’s high-level technology. I want to exhibit it at Fukuyama Castle Museum, which will open following renovation 400 years after the castle was built.”

Yeah I read one, was about to click away and decided to look at one more and it was yours. Thanks for pulling me back to reality, off I go.

So does Thunder.

Yeah in Australia I just use my home phone landline number converted to a mobile number, first 2 numbers are state code so like 02 1234 5678, mobile numbers are the same but 04 at the start. No idea if it is someone else’s number but I haven’t clashed yet.

I like it. First reason is I don’t always watch just one show, sometimes I’ll move between 3-4, so it can be a week before I see the same show again. Just because a lot of people binge doesn’t mean everyone does.

Secondly there’s no way on earth I’d want to scrub through the previous episode trying to find and remember the important points, especially with buffering, it’d probably take just as long as rewatching the episode.

Third is that it’s not always just the last episode they’re recapping, sometimes it’ll be something from episode 2 that’s only now become relevant in episode 5, and without binging it I definitely prefer the reminder, sometimes even with.

My last point isn’t really a point explicitly in favour of recaps, but finally, you can skip them very easily if you don’t want them. Most if not all streaming services literally build in a skip button for the theme/opening/recap. But even if they don’t it’s pretty easy. So I don’t really see it as a big deal in the end.

I just stopped fighting it and bought a cheap usb c adapter. The only time I want to use earphones is when I’m out anyway.

I mean I think it can be boiled down pretty simply: cause the least harm to living things that you can personally manage, according to your definition of harm. Having impossible goals isn’t necessarily a bad thing. If your impossible goal is to make a billion dollars ethically, and you get to 50 million being 95% ethical, you could still consider that a win, even though you didn’t reach your impossible goal.

Even the simple goal of “always being a good person 100% of the time” is probably impossible to achieve over an entire lifetime while meeting every person’s definition of it. That doesn’t mean it’s useless for someone to strive for that within their definition of “good person”.

In fact I’d say the vast majority of meaningful, non trivial goals could be considered “impossible”.

Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up.

I’ve been liking searxng. It aggregates results from search engines you select and returns the results without being tracked by them.

SearXNG is a free and open-source federated metasearch engine forked from Searx. SearXNG supports over 70 different search engines. Similar to Searx, it does not collect information about users.

3rd result using these settings on searxng.

Simple question: Who do you think would be better for the country as president? Neither isn’t an option, because one is happening, no matter what. Equally bad isn’t an option either, as no 2 people are completely identical. It doesn’t matter is objectively false, as they will do things differently, and those differences are not equivalent.

The fact is actively telling Kamala supporters not to vote is indirectly voting for Trump, and vice versa, whether you yourself turn up or not.

If you truly believe it doesn’t matter, there’s no reason to tell anyone to not vote, as voting and doing the other actions you recommend are not mutually exclusive.

I have a pixel 6.

Yeah it’s pretty nice, basically every convenience of paid streaming services for free and every movie and TV show in one place.

If you use it I highly recommend the torrentio add on https://torrentio.strem.fun/configure

I stream torrents using stremio.
