This makes me cry, actually.
Just to add on. Libraries in many cities have 3d printers you can use that charge you only the price of materials. So if you can't wait for the shipping from the engineers, try your local library.
Humanity at its best 🤗

i think this is literally my favorite tik tok it’s so fucking funny
ive been doing a lot of youtube recipe binging lately so i was recommended this video and i was like fuck it diet soup why not
and it sounded pretty tasty so after the vid i scrolled down to see what people thought of it, and i just really need to share with you all what the comment section is like
and for the one that broke me:
I laughed so hard I gave myself an actual headache oml
i laughed so hard at this comment
Alright, Here’s some good news to give you hope and show you that what we do matter !
Egypt is going to open Rafah Border Crossing to get medical personnel and supplies to Gaza.
“ Egyptian doctors on their way to Gaza “
Egypt also gave an official statement:
” Palestinian red crescent ambulances carrying the injured are now considered a part of Egyptian military and any attacks on them will have an equal response “
Egyptian red crescent is now accepting donations on : https://www.egyptianrc.org/Donate/online-donation
And Jordanians crossed their borders in significant numbers to help Palestinians... civilian Jordanians ❤️
I mean ... I am crying tears of joy.
ألا إن نصر الله قريب
I believe the Lebanese were trying to do something too
Yes, but sadly one young Lebanese man called Mohamed Tahan was killed trying to cross the borders. Allah yerhamo
Everybody talks about children of divorced parents but let's talk about the true soldiers. Children of "will you pls get a fucking divorce" parents
shockingly enough turn signals exist for a reason
So I looked this up and the whole story is wild.
Basically, market research for japanese bakeries determined that a) they sell more breads and pastries the more different varieties they have, and b) japanese bakery customers prefer items which are not wrapped, because individually wrapped things give the impression of being like, preserved or something instead of fresh and good I guess? So the obvious solution is to sell as many different kinds of unwrapped breads and pastries as you can.
But! In actual practice, that’s a nightmare. No packaging means no barcodes to scan, so the cashier needs to know all like 200 different (often very similar) items by heart and add them up manually, which means training new employees is a slow and painful process and customer service in general suffers badly. And having a person handle all those un-packaged foodstuffs to count them or examine them, in addition to being slow and clumsy, is unsanitary as fuck.
So one bakery chain owner approached this computer guy in 2007 asking for a system to automate the checkout process. It took five years and the company barely survived a financial crisis in the middle, but long story short they developed a highly specialized AI that will look at the pile of bread a customer picked out and automatically identify everything, tally it up, and charge them correctly, while the live cashier is free to make small talk or help people out or whatever. The whole process is simple, fast, sanitary, and pleasant for customers and employees alike, and to an outsider it looks like fucking magical bullshit.
But then in 2017 a doctor saw an ad for this bakery scanning system and it occurred to him that cells under a microscope don’t look all that different from weird loaves of bread. And it turns out that yeah, you can use almost all of the same code to analyze a tissue sample and pick out any potentially cancerous cells in it. Other people have started buying the same program for everything from analyzing the readout from big physics experiments to labeling charms and amulets for sale at shrines to detecting problems in the wiring on jet engines.
me after i post my opinion to tumblr.com and omegaverse-obsessed-otaku with a picrew icon responds with "no. you know what? no. fuck you"
Hey fuck this post
Concept: cosmic horror video game where the ordinary world has roughly PS2-era graphics, but the Creatures From Beyond are rendered with AAA photorealism, and the distortions in reality that their presence induces are all modelled after the kind of glitches you see when you’re running a game on a platform that doesn’t have quite enough memory to support it. (e.g., objects becoming intangible because their collision didn’t load properly, people appearing faceless due to missing textures, etc.)
