Hope that sodium battery powered e-bikes hit the market soon. They’ll have lower range, but they don’t explode or catch fire like Lithium batteries.
There doesn’t seem to be a high-res version online that I can find :(
I don’t know how much Impossible Meat is because nobody around here carries it, but I would imagine it’s a bit pricey just for the name being so popular.
Having tried a fairly wide variety of vegan meat replacements, I personally found that Impossible meat was the most impressive. Their beef imitation is quite literally indistinguishable from the real thing. If anything, it’s beefier than real ground beef. I can sometimes find it on sale at my local store for about $7 or $8 a pound, but usually it’s more around $10 or $11. I always stock up on the beef or sausage when it’s on sale, as my non-vegan family has fully embraced it, whereas they have been less receptive of other beef imitations (though they’ll enjoy any old imitation chicken, which appears to be easier to replicate).
Florisboard has decent swipe typing from what I remember, and should be available in F-droid.
EDIT: after checking, I see Floris has not been updated in two years on f-droid. :(
@[email protected] wrote down the recipe here.
1.2l water
240ml sodium sulfate
60ml sodium chloride
20ml xantham gum(optional for increased efficacy by keeping the solution homogenous)
Boil water, stir until fully dissolved, a small amount of solute should remain, if not, increase sodium sulfate concentration slowly until it does, indicating no free water molecules available for dissolution.
Solution should now be cooled to below 18c( freezing point) for an end product that will regulate temperature to 18c so long as it have sufficient(negative) thermal energy.
Solution of pure sodium chloride will have freezing point approx -20C, while solution of pure sodium sulfate has freezing point +35C. Adjusting the ratio of NaCl to Na2SO4 will shift the freezing point towards either end of thag spectrum, depending on what phase change temperature you are targetting.
XMPP would be the best choice at this point in time, as it doesn’t suffer the downfalls of Matrix (though even Matrix would be better than Discord).
This is a summary from @[email protected]:
TL;DW:
This is a simplified version of simplified version.
Flippy test!
Hmm, I think that design might need something more bespoke.
it might not make as much sense as plants usually grow upwards
There are those upside down tomato planters.
I actually like that simpler version much more as an S, something about the increased whitespace around the dot in that version compared to the sun in this version looks a bit better to me. The framing around it helps a bit too, though as you say, all of them a pretty cool.
I’d recommend checking out our local documentary community, [email protected], which is chock full of docs! :D
Though admittedly, most of the ones there are not directly related to solarpunk. Since the movement is really only just catching on in the mainstream, there’s not much documentary/movie content about it.
The only fictional movie I can think of that’s solarpunky would be Strange World from (ironically) Disney.
I did a really quick a dirty edit to see how that’d look.
Definitely like it mirrored better.
I tried rotating it to more clearly resemble an S, but I think it detracts from it, since then it just becomes a letter, instead of a slightly more abstract (and IMO memorable) logo.
I’m not really seeing the resemblance other than similar colors, but green and yellow are somewhat solidified as pretty solarpunk-y colors, at least going by the various flags and emblems floating around.
Cheers for mentioning this, that shit is right up my alley! :D
A few that come to mind:
The article is pretty well laid out, IMO. It sets up the story with background information of who Ken Williams is, the history of the Police Quest series and the Sierra hacker/stoner culture, then goes into Daryl Gates and his background, and finally how Ken hobnobbed with him and pushed hard for him to be involved despite the resistance of the game devs. It then goes into how the game that Daryl advised on was deeply influenced by his racist views, which Ken had no trouble publishing, and even hoped would generate controversy for profit.
It gives all the context needed for non-sierra fans and for people not familiar with Daryl Gates, and doesn’t really have any fluff or repeating points.
Not sure what you mean by skewing the facts? Could you give an example?
Article’s kinda crap, really; the whole point is “a prick hired a prick to be involved in a prickish game.”
Ken Williams has generally been pretty well regarded, especially by Sierra fans. He was even included in the old Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution by Steven Levy, so I think it comes as somewhat surprising that he was so easily swayed by Rush Limbaugh back then, and shifted so far right wing to the point of purposefully working with a cop so heavily associated with systemic racism and the Rodney King beating.
It certainly was news to me, as someone who grew up with those games.
Not everyone has the ability or spare time to become skilled in every field. Calling them lazy and illiterate for not learning a complicated thing (when they may already be learning some other complex subject) is kinda the definition of elitism.
Don’t be an elitist bung hole, dude.
She had a (non-cancerous) brain tumor, which she did a few videos about treating. I hope that’s behind her forever as well. :(
