Just the other 60% or it.

He has a little more than half a face, so that counts for something but by some definitions, that isn’t actually a face… It took me a while to find that detail, though. The arrow helped, but people use big red circles for a reason, friend.)

It’s mostly function for cameras like that. The lense stacks for cameras these days is some really cool stuff crammed into a really tiny package. I don’t know the exact function of each camera, but they are collecting a lot of light to focus on a small camera sensor and are able to achieve some amazing results for various focal depths.

More lense with bigger holes equal more light, usually.

The biggest ones are going to be your generic filters which need big enough to keep the rings from interfering with the field of view.

There is some super cool engineering packed into those thing, but mainly because of their size.

I would try and light it outside, but with a long stick (like a wooden skewer). There is a high chance that those are O2 bubbles, if you were trying to make some Sodium Percarbonate which is a common additive to laundry detergent anyway… It’s supposed to be equal parts mix, but I suspect the excess of hydrogen peroxide is intentional as to have the best chance to convert all the sodium bicarb and still have plenty of liquid to soak something in. (Just a guess. Chemistry can be a weird science sometimes and I think there were a few reactions that could of happened here.)

Consumer grade hydrogen peroxide is dirt cheap, and so is the baking soda. I dunno if you saved money and a made a more effective solution for what you are trying to accomplish. A spoonful or two of regular laundry detergent may have masked smells a little better. Dunno. I like science but I also like efficiency, so whatevers! (Experiments are fun.)

Billionaire Island, Issue #1

Trash app. If you actually want to see all of your data and have it recorded accurately, just switch to the Garmin ecosystem. Garmin isn’t without their own set of issues and problems, for sure. However, if you actually want data and not AI slop summaries, stay a far away from Google Health.

Simply put, it’s designed for people who think that wearing a fitness tracker will improve their health and want a chat bot that will make them feel better about that.

Life, uh, finds a way.

Booze is a helluva drug.

My search converged with the other commenter and found the same link they did… (I completely skipped over the link they provided somehow before I started my own looking.)

But yeah, I agree it’s probably an EEPROM and you might be able to copy it?

Well, it’s kinda cool to look around and also realize that much of what you see likely came from multiple supernovae and/or kilonovae. (Huh. I have never needed to pluralize the word ‘kilonova’ before. Meh… It looks cool with the ‘e’, so I’ll leave it.)

Eventually, our atoms are going to get blasted out across the universe again to maybe become part of some other planetary system, before it eventually gets destroyed or sucked into blackhole and is evaporated as radiation. This might not even be the first universe our bits have been a part of …

That is the fault of the CISO. Execs get really interested, really quick, if the CISO can draw clear lines to the risks of direct financial loss via fraud or compliance failures that would result in fines or loss of customers.

The worst presentations I have seen are usually where the CISO tries to lean on FUD or cries wolf about hot-topic security threats that don’t apply to the company they work for.

Before or after their mandatory service time?

I would normally say this is a parental issue. However, the quirky combinations of vitamin b, caffeine, massive amounts of sugar combined with whatever else is even slightly rumored to boost energy should be, at minimum, slightly regulated for youth.

I am not doing deep-dive research for this comment, but I would speculate that the above drinks are simply not healthy for developing bodies and brains.

I also suspect that the biggest issues are with lack of moderation.

Nicotine is removed from tobacco before it is reintroduced in a controlled way during cigarette manufacturing. This creates a consistent dose per cigarette.

Lower nicotine tobacco is not needed.

Most of TNG painted a picture of a perfect utopian Starfleet and how humans had grown up, like you say . (Obviously, humanity is never perfect but the messaging is fairly clear: They try.)

I can chime in more about VOY and ENT though…

VOY is my favorite and also when you start to see a little more of humanity in Starfleet. We learned a few things like: The Prime Directive/Temporal Prime Directives were always just suggestions, murder could actually be justified, you will never get promoted past ensign if you play the clarinet and chemical addiction is still a key driver in human decisions and behavior.

ENT is just the human transition out of a military focused race to a race focused on exploration. (I am not sure why Archer always seems to have serious case of constipation, but it is what it is.)

It took an entire research center to determine that VPNs were being used to bypass age verification even though everyone knew that VPNs could bypass age verification before any restrictions were ever put in place?

Ya know, I’m starting to think that country leaders aren’t exactly the brightest folks in the world. Or, age verification is just being used as an excuse to ban encryption completely…

Genetically-optimal? How in the fuck do they determine that? What happens if their spawn is not genetically-optimal? Recycling bin?

Geezus fuck people are dumb sometimes.

That pic looked too jpg’d to be real, but I found another source.
