Desfrutemos do cambio climático.

Conhece se desde a tua casa vás poder ir andando à praia (ou se estará baixo a agua)...

Está bem irmos conhecendo o nosso futuro, já seguro umha vez assumimos os câmbios de EUA, e também da UE, aos que estamos demostrando que não somos capazes, ou não queremos, opôrmo-nos.

Assumamos e aproveitemos o cambio climático, Outros já o fão, como Trump com Groenlandia...

The Haunt on the Harth: There is a spirit haunting the forest of Malberg, which also called “auf der Harth” (“on the Harth”), and many people could tell of the pranks he played on them. A Capuchin monk thus led the spirit away from this spot, and to another, where he could no longer bother anyone. A woman, who was part of the procession, told the Capuchin: “Let me see the spirit.” The Capuchin replied: “Step on my right foot with your left foot, and look back over my left shoulder.” The woman did so immediately, but before the eyes of everyone present fainted, and fell down to the ground unconscious.

Working-Class Women Aren't Supposed To Say This

‘What I’ve made is good. What I’ve made is important.’ It’s rare and radical to say that out loud. Especially if you’re working class. Especially if you’re a woman.

Pete Hegseth is a frat-boy fascist completely unqualified to be Defense Secretary.
An article from The Index titled “This Man is a Buffoon” features a close-up image of Pete Hegseth in a suit and red tie. The article, written by Joan Westenberg and dated 25 March 2025, describes Hegseth as a “frat-boy fascist” unqualified to be Defense Secretary, accusing him of leaking classified war plans and undermining the military from within. The header of the site reads “The Index: Truth in an Age of Noise.”

### Motiv: Das Bild zeigt einen lebhaften Marktplatz, wo viele Menschen zwischen Holzhütten schlendern. Die Stände sind mit bunten Waren dekoriert, und die Menschen scheinen sich zu unterhalten und Produkte zu begutachten. Es herrscht eine geschäftige Atmosphäre, unterstützt durch die Vielzahl an Personen. ### Stimmung und Wirkung: Die Atmosphäre wirkt fröhlich und einladend, mit einem Gefühl von Gemeinschaft und Geselligkeit. Die bunten Waren und die Vielzahl der Menschen vermitteln einen lebendigen Eindruck, während das sanfte Licht der herbstlichen Umgebung Wärme ausstrahlt. ### Technische Details: Das Bild ist in natürlichen, warmen Farben gehalten, mit herbstlichen Gelbtönen und sanftem Licht, das die Szenerie beleuchtet. Die Komposition zeigt eine dichte Ansammlung von Menschen, die in der Mitte des Bildes angeordnet sind, während die Holzhütten auf beiden Seiten einen geschützten Eindruck hinterlassen.

Years ago, I was inspired to bring to life a great piece of art by my friend, Doug. I used a crusader helmet template by Ben Eadie as a basis for the helmet and constructed it out of floor mat foam and craft foam. The wearer can see through the black fabric covering the eyes and mouth.

@recantha yeah, I recently came to realise I have something called "Aphantasia" which is where you can't physically see things in your mind. It means my 3d design process requires a lot of test prints just to figure out how one thing works with another in real space. How I ever ended up working as a designer is beyond me!

This is sick as hell and deserves more attention:

I don't think I've ever seen that done before, which means everyone making futuristic credit sequences in the 1970s missed a *major* trick! Also, what a great tool for understanding signal processing.

@mmby True. I could be wrong, but I think that should be possible with a Fourier transform and some oscillators, but maybe not easily to that crispness. The earliest video games were all done by drawing onto an oscilloscope just like this, though, so the idea wouldn't have been utterly foreign to them.

26 March 1934 | A French Jewish boy, Francis Levin, was born in Paris.

He arrived at #Auschwitz on 23 November 1943 in a transport of 1,200 Jews deported from Drancy. He was among the 914 people murdered in a gas chamber after selection.

Picture of the face of a young boy in a white shirt buttoned up to the neck. He is smiling. He has short hair and a fringe pulled to the right side - slightly wavy.

Rheinmetall has a lot looking good for (its upcoming profits).

First off, the Ukraine war has massively boosted demand for their wares.

Second, Trump has made it more likely they need to boot USA bases and/or not rely on them.

Third, Leopard 2 and upcoming variants like the next generation Leopard 2a RC3.0 really make the Leopard 2 platform just plain more flexible for different country's needs - including better than USA.

Leopard 2 and Skyranger are particularly needed.
