  1. When Rio de Janeiro looks like a tropical Minmus.
  2. After a nice kayak trip in the ocean, I discovered that my watch is not as water resistant as it thought it was. Maybe it meant 100 m not deep, but laterally over water.
  3. I remember once when I was playing Portal, and I broke the door in Chamber 14. I jumped on the button that opens it, and it sparked and got stuck open. I don't remember what GLaDOS said, but it was probably something condescending.
  4. Vitrifying someone is not especially difficult- We've already done it with a bunch of people and brains. I think considering the stuff that turns up in our ice caps you might be able to preserve your body for that long, provided there was someone around to take care of your high tech barrel. Waking you up at the end of the long wait, however, is kind of difficult. (Using current methods) you wouldn't have any blood in you, so that would have to be pumped into your body, and instead you'd have a glasslike substance which would have to be removed. You'd also be at liquid nitrogen temperatures, so first you have to be warmed up in order to support liquid water (ice is really bad for tissue). So once you've been defrosted and rehydrated, starting your heart should be a little easier. So, maybe we'll find a way to do all that. Or maybe we're doing it wrong and have a few more lessons to learn from frogs and tardigrades and bears. Or maybe it's just best to wait for ASI and ask it to upload you to the cloud. I think if I was to artificially live a long time, I'd go for the cloud.
  5. Good, because I already started one. It's an animation too. With shadows!
  6. Yeah, it looks like a giant cricket with lobster claws. So seems pretty benign.
  7. I hadn't noticed that! Oh well, Antiope and its twin are almost the same size and orbit very closely, giving them at least some distinction from Didymos. They're also much larger.
  8. 90 Antiope is an interesting system. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/90_Antiope It's a binary asteroid.
  9. It's simple, just remove the lock via the w axis.
  10. That leg also looks bent upwards in a way that isn't supposed to happen.
  11. I helped this weevil get back on his feet just now: I tried to just flip him over, but of course he latched on to me.
  12. 10.873 seconds! That's the first time I've gotten two records in as many days since I first finished memorizing the beginner's method! This would put me in 3978th place if I was in a WCA competition. Currently I'm officially in the 5400s range. Still not sub 10 though. Maybe tomorrow! What happened was I got a very quick F2L, I only had to pair up two sets and another was already in place. I could've gotten that solve sub 10 if I was a little more focused.
  13. Maybe. TUBM can find their heading and latitude by the stars.
  14. Or you could skip the lizard and leave only the dinosaur.
  15. So the Falcon spends quite a while at sea, huh? Do ground crews have to repair any ocean-related damage done to the booster due to this time in transit back to port?
  16. "Bigger is better!" -Bandcamp It requires a 1400x1400 cover image, so I gave it a 1760x1760 .png and it converts it to .jpg and shrinks it to 1200x1200.
  17. 2 step last layer and intuitive F2L makes for...poor rhyming material...but sub 20 averages!
  18. Today I did my fastest 3x3 solve yet, in 11.204 seconds. I'm hoping I can join the sub-10 club soon...
