Rules for thee, not for me?

Wow.

Basically my intro to improved jpg is the Library of Congress Sanborn insurance maps. Either download and archive a 300MB TIFF or a 20 something MB JPG2000.

GIMP is a fine viewer for me, but it is incredible

I hate that you’re not wrong

So many concrete buildings replacing the masonary. 😩

7 was a stand in for a single digit numbet… didn’t realize it was that low. Yikes

But inanimate objects? I remember hearing a story about a Russian (Soviet) machine that is a “He”, not a ship “Her”

I guess we humans do tend to personify stuff

My brain went “Firefox has what 7% market share? What’s 50% of that?? Actually, that probably is 4x the ‘Fediverse’ user total right there”

That’s the Curiosity/Perseverance rovers. The second generation Spirit/Opportunity are much smaller. Spirit is to the upper left.

Story still pisses me off to the day I heard about it.

TL,DR: in the dead of night bulldozers physically tore up portions of runway. Standing 50+ airplanes. FAA approved using taxiway to evacuate

It just the other guy is a giant

The induction is mindboggling. Haven’t gotten the hang of it yet because I JUST CAN’T UNDERSTAND THE HOW.

It’s life changing. I’m coming from the electric “coil” stoves

Granted, it sucks that a few of our old pots are useless now, but we have plenty good still, so not a huge loss

The black widows really get that screamish response that most bugs don’t give me. There’s something about that red on black that hits my primal buttons in a tizzy

The only other bugs that get me like that are the too many (more than eight legs) bugs. Milli/centipedes

It took me a second, then 😱

Anything over 190 is just fine for me.

Assembly is probably the closest thing to magic humans have ever created.

(I’m disqualifying String/Quantum as they are “theories” and not in common use)

I was worried for a second, but this BOLTR was fine.

I think if you pick and choose he’s fine still…

I like the longer form videos from him

If you go far enough, everything is.

But SVGs are one of the few image types that can be human readable and editable
