Well done sir, well done.

In known recent ⁠corruption cases, the death sentence has been applied when sums exceeding 1 billion yuan ($147.24 million) were involved. In 2024, Li Jianping, an official in the Inner Mongolia region, was executed ⁠after being found guilty in a case involving more than 3 billion yuan.

America, any billionaires around?

Ah, great! As a level up goal then, I suggest practicing turning them into frogs.

Perhaps, that's a good point. It is a green text though, and my bet is that the pic is unrelated.

There's all kinds of people out there, that's for sure. Some women (and men) do like the bulky, rough on the edges but overall caring type, but some don't appreciate that virility and attention from a partner and prefer a more candid approach, others are almost self-destructive and inevitably go for guys that I wouldn't give the time of day, to each their own.

My point is mostly that there're a lot of reasons people don't click, there's nothing wrong with that.

Hahaha.

This sounds pretty typical to me.

They like each others looks, and start talking a bit. She realizes just how many red flags anon is raising, and starts to backpedal.

Fuck women impossible to understand amirite.

Edit: nothing is black and white, especially when it come to people. I was just pointing out one of the likely scenario that hadn't been pointed out when I posted.

eGirl all the way! But you've gained the perk of Crone, and are now able to throw insults so pointed that annoying jerks and dimwits will run away in tears and leave you alone.

I'm gonna say that fighting a war does things to a person's brain. And maybe there's some personality patterns that predispose people to enlist. Then there's the conditioning that allows someone to kill another human with no remorse...

Most of which doesn't apply to your regular hooligans, so I have no idea...

This. If you wake up feeling unrested after a full 9/10h of sleep, do a sleep study.

Chances are that something is preventing your body from resting properly.

A question to any photography wizards - I really like this composition, but that bridge in the distance is screaming to be much closer to the foreground, is there a way to achieve this?

Like, stepping further back, using a telephoto lens, high f-stop - could it be done or is it impossible?

I think that the #1 advice I've seen is to use a reference image, and that even professionals sometimes struggle with perspective - we're so good at recognising faces that even the sliiiightest little bit off will get instantly noticed.

 

Just saw the post about Helsinki opening several bridges for a similar purpose, so thought I'd share this here as well.

Porto Metro system didn't exist until around 20 years ago. Just last year, it carried more than 90 million people, and it's not stopping.

While traffic in Porto has actually gotten worse, as tourism and building rehabilitation have exploded, the investment in the metro continues.

This bridge is part of the new "Ruby line", and will provide another much needed way of crossing the Douro river, and will be exclusively used by pedestrians and cyclists, along with the metro.

This line is great because it will connect the other existing lines to a university campus and a large shopping center, while serving a fairly high density area where the residents mostly work in Porto, and have to commute daily.

 

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to control a "dumb" led light strip segment with an ESP-01S. This is fairly low current, the strip will pull 150mA-200mA max (depends on... artistic? needs).

I have two NPN transistors (2N2222), one to control the 12V supply to the white "channel" and the other the red+blue (don't need the green).

I had to pull-down the gates as I had some flickering, and it works perfectly if I manually connect the GPIOs after the ESP-01S boots.

The ESP will boot if I have the RX pin (GPIO03) pulled down on boot, but not if I pull down any of the others.

I'm not smart enough to come up with a way to have that extra pin I need to be high only during boot, while the gate it's attached to needs to be pulled down...

Any thought, other than getting something with more IO pins?
