There are some amazing oil paintings of waves where you can see the light scatter below the surface of the water (subsurface scattering for my CGI nerds) and I always found it so amazing that you could do that "by hand". These waves here are... Not that.

Not only did it get the job done, it got the spectators well done.

That's enough budget for a whole ass R&D project and team. Can this ring shoot lasers or steer a helicopter or something?

Absolutely. The short version: Chest freerzers are way more efficient because the cold air doesn't "fall out" as soon as you open them.

Going for the whole thing, eh?
Not even just the "symbol version". I don't like long nails but one has to appreciate the artistry here.

It may not help much, but remember that it was the rational decision at the time. There is really no reason (other than hype) for the value of Bitcoin to move the way it does.

If you don't play the lottery and the numbers that you would have picked win big, then not playing the lottery was still the rational thing to do at the time, because the chances of winning are so astronomically slim.

Wasn't there some weird political fuckery in Munich as well, where the Microsoft HQ just so happened to be set up and pay their taxes in Munich once they switched back?

I don't see a link in your comment for some reason. I can just search for the name online so thank you for providing it. Just wanted to let you know. ;)

"The most sustainable phone is the one you already have". But if you need a new one anyway, go for it. I'm really happy with my FP4.

As much as GoT has shit the bed in the later seasons, the intro sequence including the title theme was always (and still is) amazing! It never failed to hype me up!

As we learned from trump during covid: If you don't look into a problem it does not exist.
It's a fact!
