The contrast in effort between the second and third image is perfect.

I thought I'd check which 2^N gets you to a trillion, it's N=40. So you can have 40 parameters per planet and add one more, then suddenly you've created an extra trillion planets.

Cool photo!

Best of luck with the new med, I hope things keep getting better for you.

I spent way too long trying to work out if it was a scale model with the man there to demonstrate how it was used, or if the bust was a weird decorative part of the cannon.

Somehow bionic nipples weren't on my futurism bingo card.

Perhaps you could try friend-finding apps such as Bumble BFF? You're likely to find others there in a similar position to yourself. It also focuses on 1 on 1 which should be a little easier to manage with social anxiety.

Clubs are a good call. Look into societies at your university, find something that you're interested in or think you could be interested in. Societies are social in a way that seminars and other course activities are not. Don't worry if you don't "click" with anyone immediately, keep attending and do your best to engage in conversations.

I also recommend seeking out a university counsellor. Most universities will have them and their advice can be valuable.

I doubt this is AI. This looks right for a micro-CT angiograph.

The blood vessels will have X-ray opaque dye injected, so they stand out on the CT. You can then set a threshold in the visualization software to filter out other tissue. The software then uses an algorithm to apply some shading to the surfaces of the unfiltered tissue to create a 3D effect.

The red colouring is a choice of the user, it just colours darker parts red and fades out to transparency.

I enjoyed the book, but I'm not bothered about a TV adaptation. The clip makes it look a bit too somber.

Ah well, it's a little reassuring that this didn't just happen to me!

Just a tip if you've had your eBay account since before you were 18. Never update your date of birth on either your eBay or PayPal account such that you would have been under 18 when you made the account. I made that mistake and they banned that account, I had to make a new one.
