I really hate/love that is is what actually put the size of those container ships in perspective for me. I've seen the massive liquid natural gas tankers and those things are terrifying big but like... I still didn't get the scale of these. Thanks sci-fi (look you guys that box set of TOS pays off irl!!!) πŸ€ͺ

(Fr tho, anyone else have that set with the plastic curved cases with one of the uniform colors for each season? Prtty curves, infuriating snag-the-case,drop-the-DVD-on-the-floor-and-swear-and-snag-the-insert-pamphlet-closing-it-up-every-singlegoddang-time. But prtty curves)

I'm working on a robotics ai project as a hobbyist and I was really surprised at how affordable some of these quadruped robots have become. The one I would like to eventually try is between $1600 and $2k (USD) but the models in the $500-$1000 look darn good to. Having smaller boards for multiple ai processes to run together is really changing th feasibility of projects quickly.

Could you clarify what the joke is? Is there a pun here that I am missing picking up on?

This entire thing is absolutely fascinating.

You and that kernel were both panicking!

I guess I have the minority opinion here - I reallykme Jerboa. It's not Apollo or Sync but it's lightweight, all about the text, has bookmark, comment, up and down votes front and center, and gets out of the way.

I've also been over on kbin.social and the mobile interface there is really lacking so maybe Jerboa just looks especially good to me jn contrast!

I've been car free since I moved to NYC around 4 years ago and I love it. I do wish car rentals were easier for those odd cases where you need to move something big but don't want a U-Haul, but I love just being walking distance from everything I need. My whole world fits within about two long city blocks.

If I weren't in the city (and specifically this city - Boston is not as friendly to car free folks) it would be a lot more difficult. I especially don't know how people with disabilities manage because public transit here is, for me, not super disability friendly.
