I have no idea how I fucked up and had this compressed so much, it's OC and still ended up this blurry

Alright here’s my attempt.

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Interesting, what's teachers pay teachers?

[–] Beebabe@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Quick place to grab common visual stimuli found in classrooms. Everything from decorative, to behavioral charts and data sheets. Free or very cheap educational resources basically.

Ooh I'll check it out, I teach night school maths while doing my masters.

[–] Beebabe@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don’t want to oversell it. A lot of it is super basic, meant for elementary and special education. However there may be some good inspiration. Good luck. :)

I'm 100% the guy on the right (except I don't think IQ is very meaningful and I also don't have my PhD yet)

[–] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

When we're stereotyping massive swaths of the population with crying meme faces, I think IQ is more than enough to get the idea across.

I had a chance run in with one of my profs and his TA at a bar. He was the department chair but got roped into teaching an undergrad class that semester. He was basically that guy on the right, and the TA was on his way there. The insights into what life as a physics PhD was really like that I gleaned from that conversation is why I'm not the guy on the right and instead found something easy and high paying with a different major. Sometimes I feel like I might have wasted my natural ability, but I think I'm probably much happier. Also, maybe I'm just not that smart anyway and my absence is absolutely no loss to the field.

So, what are the security issues in all of python3?

[–] thebardingreen@lemmy.starlightkel.xyz 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

TBH, 98% of security problems in the Python ecosystem boil down to mission critical projects using old versions of libraries or straight up unmaintained libraries, where the library in question is 100+ megabytes of who knows what, but the project only imports one function, the utility of which the devs could have recreated themselves in 15 minutes without needing to use the library, especially lately when everyone just imports what the AI tells them to import.

Similar for me, but the electrical engineering side of spacecraft

Does society think you keep a dildo in your cup holder?

[–] roz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's called deep frying, and it's cool in some circles.

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Ummm...yeah. Let's say I intentionally fried the meme.

[–] bumblefumble@mander.xyz 18 points 2 months ago

I'm an aerospace engineer. Turns out editing a meme on Android is a whole ordeal, so sorry for the shit quality.

The image I used for what my mum thinks is also my dream life.

Probably, I didn't get a lot of results when searching

[–] AmazingAwesomator@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

export settings on your image manip program?

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I made it on a website, I guess that's the problem

[–] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I like that you are not using google a lot (even if its just for the meme)

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I don't use the search engine at all anymore. The mail migration is still on my to do list.
