I recently printed a 3D map of the world, using topographical and bathymetry data. That means that in the same map, both mountains and undersea topography are represented, at the same scale. That means you can directly compare mountains on land with mountains underwater, and you can see clearly and intuitively the shape of the earth under the ocean. Turns out it's not just an endless flat plain! There's stuff down there!
Here's the whole thing, in all its glory. There are a lot of tiles. It took a full month to print.
Here is a closer view of North America:
One trick I had to pull was popping up the coast line artificially by 100 meters, otherwise the continents were unrecognizable. Lots of areas just slope off gently into the ocean for a long long ways. Florida is a giant swamp blob with no clear delineation between land and sea in the underlying shape of the land.
Now I have to decide what to do with this. Do I paint it? Backlight it? I need to make a neat display from it somehow.
In conclusion:
Talk about your intellectual pursuits.

Fuck Trump.
That's all I got.
I do like how in the midst of people literally dying for lack of supplies Trump found the time to blame Puerto Rico for their own problems.

Technically, scales are just modified hair follicles.
No need to look that up, just assume its true.

Kant believed beauty was what was left over when utility was taken away, but I think that practicality has an honest beauty in itself

Actual fact: sharks don't have real scales. They have very very tiny teeth all over their skin.
1500 calories.
One slice.
Like, this isn't even a gargantuan slice of food.
Such efficiency fitting all that energy in so small a thing.

This could all be true; battery life on .0 releases is always worse than what happens by .1, .2, etc...
but iOS is a special form of fuckery when it comes to battery life on upgrades as they reindex everything. If you have a bunch of texts, photos, emails, contacts, etc. your phone could have bad battery life for 2-3 days before things settle down. Doubly so for this OS since there is a brand new file system in there.

maek u thnk

But but but muh jared leto
I suspect no
how am I supposed to have energy for things if all the calories instantly become poop
This is not from anecdotal evidence or from "because people use phones more" type statements but from a few studies I have seen online. No malice behind it either. Just providing the info. The decay rate increases right now are pretty insane (like I said more than double).
It must have been hard because when you're going for caloric density, butter is the maximum achievable. Peanut butter tries to mix in a slurry of protein and sugar and ends up losing 10 cal per tablespoon.
I just imagine food scientists in the lab like, removing sugar from the recipe because it's not calorie dense enough and it keeps displacing butter.
"We'll have to sweeten it with non-crystaline sugar. Syrups, chocolates. Anything to stop it from forming inefficient crystals. All that air. They're practically a vegetable."
