Momentum could still be conserved if the velocity is unchanged, but it would mean there's now a lot of kickback once it gets big...
Yeah, the only thing I could imagine would be that image loading/processing uses an optimized library, but a single color is (unlikely but possibly) implemented poorly as a loop over every pixel, with some egregious overhead.
Most likely shit post though...
Oh I wasn't complaining, I was making a bad joke (the cartoon is a stalemate).
One of the coolest parts of The Expanse IMHO was that The Mormons commissioned a giant space ship, and it didn't feel forced or far-fetched.
Ugh, Lemmy is full of stale content.
(Edit: it's a joke. Stalemate/stale content...I chuckled at, and upvoted, the post.)
I've been super happy with it. Knock on wood it's been super reliable. I have a single ZFS drive, take snapshots with various retention policies, nothing fancy.
Another fun thing is to set up a reverse proxy on it as an endpoint for services on your local (home) network which can only be accessed by VPN. For example, my Jellyfin service isn't public facing, but I didn't want e.g. my parents to need to set up WireGuard. So instead they can point their TV to a raspberry pi on their network to access the service
even a first gen RPI can handle Jellyfin reverse proxy over WireGuard for moderate bitrates!
In my experience, the blue (405nm) lasers pointers can far, far exceed the nominal (5mW?) power.
"Necessary, but not sufficient" sums up the role of a degree for a lot of jobs.
Lenna had her time; Fabio will likewise be replaced. But Lorem Ipsum is immortal.
Remind me again, what color was Obama's scandalous suit?
Ah, right, that's why it looked familiar
pretty sure I've seen articles from there posted in one of The Onion communities in lemmy.
People often complain about San Francisco's public transit
and to be sure, it's not perfect by any means (multiple separate agencies doesn't help). But the historic streetcars are pretty neat!
They're painted with the livery of various historic streetcars from all over the country (and a few international, I think). Best of all, they run alongside the modern fleet
same route, same fare.
I recently started using voice (SSB) on the HF ham bands, and have made contacts on 15, 17, 20, and 40m. No real DX, but made one foreign contact ~1000mi away and another domestic ~2000mi away.
I live in a city and it's challenging to get a good antenna setup, so it's always a compromise where I am.
Nothing very impressive by ham standards, but it's fun.
