#3067 - SawStart
A person wearing a black hat is standing next to a circular saw table. The saw is labeled "SawStart." The person is pointing at the saw and telling two other people standing next to him: "When the saw detects contact with skin, an explosive charge starts the blade spinning at full speed within a few milliseconds." At the bottom, a caption reads: "SawStop’s less-popular competitor." Hidden text: "Unfortunately, SawStart is one-use-only. Once started, the blade cannot be stopped, and must be replaced with a fresh blade while the running one is carefully disposed of."

Denmark supported the US in The Korean War, in The Iraq War, and for two decades in The Afghanistan War.

Or as J. D. Vance puts it: “[Denmark] is not being a good ally.”

This is a public service announcement.

Bamboo. Just don’t.

#Gardening

A shallow hole in a dirt bed next to an ivy covered fence. A clump of bamboo roots in the foreground and a pile of excavated roots in the background. All around poking out of the ground are their Geiger-esq roots. A spade and an extremely large crowbar propped up against the fence.
Second picture shows the view back along the fence where every meter or so a bit of bamboo root or a severed cane pokes out until you reach the house.
Final picture. Close up of the house showing a severed stump of bamboo coming out of the ground right up against the building.

Some plants roll out a velvet carpet for ants. They have "extra floral nectaries" which are like little juice stations where the ants can drink sweet nectar. Carnivorous plants have been known to host more insect prey so the ants can find the protein they need. And many plants have hollow structures that make perfect humidity regulated nesting places for ants.

We ought to sit up and take notice and learn a thing or two from the plants.

Provided by an account I can’t retoot, here’s a more detailed explanation and a link to the patch that’s claimed to save as much as 30% of power consumption in datacenter Linux installs.

lwn.net/Articles/1008399/

I hope some proportion of the claim stands up; at a glance the technique appears generalizable, though networking is probably already the place it will make the biggest difference.

@eigen It also appears to require application changes to have any effect. I don't see any reason why it _couldn't_ be used inside the kernel to benefit programs that aren't doing clever receive handling themselves, but that doesn't seem to have been what the authors were interested in.

@zwol @eigen From my reading it's not so much application changes but application "the kernel network stack is good now, consider deprecating your own cleverness", which I'd think - "it's just software", quote unquote - would be less of a burden than otherwise.

Lord of the Rings characters: screen time vs mentions in the book.

The further from the dotted line, the further off trend.

By reddit user austinw-8 reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/s…

A scatterplot depicts major characters from Lord of the Rings plotted by number of mentions in the books (x axis) and screen time in the films (y axis). A trendline reveals that Arwen, Theoden, Legolas & Aragon are over-represented in the movies. While Sam, Gimli, Denethor and others are under-represented.

Developing film in a dark room…

Whilst u employed in the mid 1990s I did a photography course at the local college. We had to develop our film in dark rooms as part of it. It was a marvellous process, watching the images slowly reveal trays of various chemicals in the dim red light that was permitted. I learned about manual filters and editing at the point of development. I would have gone on to study more, but I fell in love with Mrs. Nocash and moved from industrial Lancashire to the gold-paved streets of London before the course properly ended. We had an exhibition, though, and this is one of mine that was entered, on the overarching theme of Four Seasons.

Black and white. A children’s sweet/toy machine on the left, offering prizes for 20p, next to a window offering summer holidays with a 16% “massive” saving.
