lime!

learning to use a workshop has nothing to do with how the tools are constructed. open source means very little to people who are not familiar with software tools, and is not likely to get someone started.

as soon as you are even starting on an intermediate level you need to care a lot, because you start building your own tools. but before that point, open source just means the big players. good luck explaining the benefits of awk before they know the difference between office and openoffice.

i’m assuming it’s this part:

• fingerprints are not genetic, but are formed by the movement of the fetus in the womb. while they are not a reliable way to identify someone out of a general population (the likeness is about 1:10000; there have been wrongful convictions based off of fingerprint data) they can be used to differentiate two individuals.
• almost everyone has some insignificant scarring on the hands or face that’s created after birth and which is tied to some stupid story about cutting cheese or whatever.
• everyone has some weird fetish. if you don’t think your fetish is weird, it’s because you’re in company that shares it.

it’s one of his worst! he plays himself in it, but as a pedo. no, i don’t know why he would do that.

the Burton batmans are not only the best batman has ever been, they’re the best Burton has ever been. i will fight people on this.

Fully expecting flak for this, but Uwe Boll’s Postal. It’s a gross, idiotic movie with awful taste, and it’s not so much that it hasn’t aged well, it’s more that it was made awful on purpose. that’s also what makes it perfect for schlock movie night.

if you’ve played any of the Postal games, you know what to expect in terms of tone. if you haven’t: GOOD. Don’t.

hot fuzz is not plain stupid, it’s advanced stupid. it’s a dumb movie made by really intelligent people.

it was, i miss it. surprisingly little smoke, but we did get some good arcs going.

no, and yes. i’m not going into more detail for fear of doxxing myself but basically we wanted the waveforms generated by a high-voltage short circuit.

later tests involved help from a power company and actual high-voltage lines.

we were recording the magnetic fields generated by a high-energy short circuit. we hung a mouse trap from one of the lines, with a lead going to one of the others, so that they fused together when it sprung.

it is normal here, yes. larger appliances get three phases, and single-phase outlets are split between them as evenly as possible.

we hijacked a conference room on a shared floor for a week and built a three-phase high-voltage line in there by hunting around the building for which sockets were on which phase, then plugging them into industrial transformers.

you’re thinking of the greeks. the norse gods were separate.

the days in english are from old norse, no?

• Sun’s day
• Moon’s day
• Tyr’s day
• Wodin’s day
• Thor’s day
• Freyr’s day
• Saturn’s day (okay that ones roman)

font sizes and alignment are a big hint. usually you want punchy slogans to be the same or bigger than the surrounding text, and text on posters is usually centered.

can we not with the ai signs, the text is so annoying

i’d even be okay with making the graphic with an image generator if you would just fix the text
