Yeah, I should have prefaced that. His storytelling is some of the strongest I’ve read and it opened my eyes to the lengths they go through to hide their actions and how adults will write it off as tough love, claiming these are all exaggerated stories. I’ve tried to tell friends and even some of them initially dismissed it.
I’ll add a note.
There’s been a couple documentaries on these schools. It takes students who have been through these programs literal years of dedication to make action happen. And this is with all sorts of evidence.
If you want a first-hand account of the full experience of a student, along with what they had to go through to get action taken (including being chased out of the country!), you can go to elan.school (cw: strong physical/mental abuse)
The people behind these schools have mafia levels of power and will literally disappear students back into their schools. If you’re not a previous student, you might have better ability to approach the situation since they don’t know you, but just be careful.
I guess I have to put my foot in my mouth over a comment I made a month or so back. I had said an XBOX handheld would sell out against the Steam Deck simply due to brand recognition.
This was of course before I thought they’d be dumb enough to make a console twice as expensive aimed at the mass market. If this was targeted at the same price as the Deck, they might have had a chance.
I don’t know anyone that would consider one of these now.
This is not far off from the color I want to get mine done in. I’ve always thought the NB was the sexiest generation.
First answer: yes
Second answer: is that profitable?
The dinoflagellates I can identify to the genus. They are Tripos
You can’t just make up words like that and think people won’t notice.
Kinda wish we could see a demonstration. This sounds both terrifying and fascinating. Wonder what caused it.
I saw this from the moment BlueSky was trying to advertise itself as Twitter 2. Single point of ownership means it will definitely come to be locked down over time because server cost and administration will always be a problem.
I love memes like this where the picture seemingly has nothing to do with the text
You Oughtta Look Out
This is the first time I’ve heard his voice and he sounds… human. Aside from Bernie, most every other politician I’ve heard in recent years sound rehearsed, even when they’re not, and they sound so unnatural for it. I wouldn’t want to be caught in an elevator with them mostly for fear of conversation.
But this guy is someone you’d excitedly hope finds a reason to strike up a conversation with you. He has true motive in his voice and I’m excited for him.
This is only my test picture. I’ll be posting a full album from my DSLR later next week.
It is insane just how big these events are and how surprisingly well organized everything has been. Really impressed overall with how alive everything has been.
I had earplugs plus noise canceling headphones on and the engines were still clear as day. Absolutely insane how fast they go. GA is sat right around the sphere and it’s a pretty heavy breaking zone. Even then, trying to track the cars for a good shot proved really challenging. Definitely pushed my skills.
And totally unrelated, but I also learned OneRepublic is responsible for like 90% of the modern pop radio that I hate. So that was fun to sit through…
The clever thing that Google Earth can do is load in detail dynamically. When you get close, only a few hundred feet of high res assets need to be loaded to trick the brain into believing it.
Here, you have only the resolution of the image with a hint of extra depth data from the second perspective. Your brain interprets it to be way more lifelike than a typical image because of the extra dimension, but if you got close, it would remain super blurry/blocky, just like it looks when you pinch to zoom all the way on one side of the image.
