also as far as we can tell most food safe plastic isn't even safe 🫠

me when I feel like digital drawing:

1. open Krita
2. spend 2 hours getting a brush just right
3. exhausted, only draw for 5 minutes before giving up and getting my physical sketchbook and a pencil

the melody: 🎶energetic foot stompin barn rompin high tempo banjos & fiddles🎶
the lyrics: this drought is killing my village so we're turning the last of the grain into whiskey so at least we can die smiling

I'm gay but I'm a lady so a regular log cabin is already pretty butch if I build it 😁

I would rather watch console output I don't understand scrolling by too fast to read than some dumb spinning dots >:[

I just got a new job at a place where my coworkers are really into seasonal decorations, so I'm low key excited for winter

With math, is it arithmetic that gives you trouble or the actual symbolic manipulation of mathematics?

I am hot garbage at keeping track of numbers but turn those fuckers into letters and (at least for me) it's off to the races. Then I just convert everything back to numbers in the last step before jamming it all into a calculator. This method saved my ass in 400-level biochemistry courses. (Annoyed the shit out of the grad students grading my exams, I'm sure...)

You may be better at "math" than you think :]

I think it's more likely that the consistent quality is a side bonus from most of 3M's customers being other corporations, not individual consumers

If 3M only sold painter's tape to the public, most of the public will buy it whether it's crap or not because most of the public only needs to put up with painter's tape occasionally

However if a large commercial real estate company who goes through palettes of painters tape suddenly has to start ordering 1.5x as many palettes because some of the tape is defective, they'll threaten 3M with cancelling a multi-million-dollar contract that will hurt 3M's quarterly spreadsheets.

That is until inevitably someone at 3M gets the idea to start producing a cheaper "consumer grade" painters tape and then everyone who doesn't have a relative in building maintenance who can swipe a pro grade roll for you is SOL

depending on what you're taking it for those 10 minutes can be worth it

Unciv if you enjoy sacrificing hours of your life :)

Your mom dies, your brother runs away so now your dad spends all his time looking for him, and your village gets overtaken by fascists, oh and you're like 12. Somehow it's your job to save the world though.

looks like hot garbage until you spend 300 hours theming it but BOIYE IT FAST AS FUCK

Here's a pretty recent paper on this. I only skimmed it but boy does this seem wacky. It is in Nature, though, so I guess it's at least somewhat serious...?

Old Bay seasoning
