    Looking at the size of the section presented, assuming the thumb shown is within one standard deviation of the US male average, accounting for +/-0.01% error when fitting edges together, calculating the number of pieces required for the full map....

    200cm wide.
    I blame DK's obviously Trumpian hands for being off by a factor of 2.

    There's a couple millimeters of artificial pop-up from sea to land so the coastlines remain recognizable. This also allows me to fill the sea with a light blue dyed epoxy, which will look darker the deeper the ocean is. I'm considering doing this. The main issue is that it's irreversible if I fuck up and each tile takes about 20 hours to print. Another option I'm considering is it looks rad when backlit. I'd like to maybe use colored LED light strips and light up the land green/tan and the oceans blue.

    It's going to be about 40" wide and 22" tall.

    Natural Earth. It's a projection that preserves nothing but is aesthetically pleasing.

    And on the topic of voltage, a taser is like 50k volts IIRC but it doesn't (necessarily) kill you. Amps are what you watch for.

    People keep saying this and it's wrong. It's both. It's the power delivered. But more than that the deadliness of electricity is complicated. Tasers are high voltage, low amperage, but it you got one right to the heart it could easily stop your heart and kill you because it doesn't take a ton of electricity to stop your heart and the probes pierce your skin.

    Dry skin presents a resistance of about 3 Mohms, so you need a relatively high voltage for the electricity to start flowing through you. That's why you can place a finger across a 9v battery and nothing happens, even though it could deliver 20A in an instant, vaporize your finger, and explode in your hand.

    I do this too and I've never had an issue. I also take the zipper and fold it over the edge of the pot once it's sealed and that both holds it closed and stops the thing from moving around.

    i was contemplating this, and surely there is a way to make either a removable ocean component moulded to the topology of the ocean floor, or even just a transparent membrane for the ocean surface so everything is clearly visible

    also i was hoping this was going to be a giant globe and you had painstakingly ensured that each section would fit together into a sphere

    I wanted to pick Mercator because I actually like the angle preservation property and think the shape distortion is neat. But the overall dimensions of the map come out huge and square, you have to clip off the poles (and usually all of antarctica), and my boyfriend put his foot down and would not allow it.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
