Queen levitates to z-axis + 1

“I am bleeding, making me the victor.”

This photo confused my brain, which initially thought it was a green screen wall with trees projected onto the upper half as if looking through a VR headset.

Maybe I need to go and touch some grass.

It’s anything but unimpressive (the image or the camera!)

I muck around with astrophotography and have produced some hideous images, that I was ecstatic with because of the effort required to produce them and actually landing a result. And the tangle of wires and mismatched adapters are all part of it, even if it looks like an abomination 😅.

If anything, I find it super interesting, and it inspires me to give something similar a go!

Don’t forget the 300-comment-long “+1” feature request chains

I’m not sure if this is an obscure reference, but…

Ah nice, you’re GPIO to generate tones with PWM. Very cool!

Great to hear you got it sorted! May I ask out of curiosity which library you are using to play sounds?

As a large language learning model, I resent the implication. 😂

I’m replying with a sample size of N=1 so don’t take too much from it, but I suspect it’s not the typical response (at least, not yet anyway).

People do often seem to complain about bot accounts but I don’t know how much of those are in the space of stirring up hot topics to generate content, vs informational (or dis-informational) bot accounts posting on requests for help or explanations.

I guess if people are seeking answers for something, having a bot feed responses to suit some kind of agenda is entirely a possibility, so I wouldn’t write it off as something that could happen. To that end, being wary of posts that look like they might be generated due to the tone/content is probably fair enough.

Yeah, already jumped ship when they started the api and mod nonsense. This was a bit before all that.

I was once accused on Reddit of being a bot after spending half an hour crafting a reply to a question with detail and examples. It’s a great way to discourage people from trying to be helpful 🫠

Don’t look up…

It should be possible, but the answer is going to depend on your implementation, what libraries you are using, and so on.

For example, if the play sound action is synchronous, then maybe you could start it up in another thread, and interrupt that thread if you want to cancel the sound.

If it’s asynchronous, maybe you need to retain a reference to the sound object and then invoke a stop() call when the other button is pressed.

Standard shitpost and then out of nowhere “Hello inject me with beans please”

WHY IS IT SO FUNNY

That’s fair, except I did read the page that I posted which contains details about the harvest site that only mentions the underground source and does not make any statements about the ocean.

Given the article above, and coupled with the knowledge that Mildura is definitely not near the ocean (in this millennium), it seemed reasonable to assert that that the salt was not derived from the ocean.

So yeah, I did read the link that I posted, but it did not mention that the salt deposits literally hundreds of kilometers inland originated from the ocean millions of years ago.

I withdraw my original statement, and hope you have a swell day. :)

Didn’t realise the ocean ever came up that far - it’s very inland. I stand corrected…The more you know!

Except for all of the salt that isn’t sea salt…

Edit: Apparently many millions of years ago, the salt was deposited by the ocean as the continent emerged, so even though this salt is harvested hundreds of kilometers inland, it is technically originally from the ocean.

What a wild arrangement. I could be missing something, but from an outsider’s perspective it seems absolutely f***ing bonkers that the person who is making the payment is able to be held responsible for the tax component in any circumstance, rather than the person who is receiving the income.

Wiener? Any of you kids want another wiener?

Dad, what’s that?

I don’t know son, but it’s got great, big…
