after finding a keyboard that supports simultaneous double swiping, i CANNOT go back. i casually hit 100+ wpm on this fucken thing.

missed opportunity to rhyme micro-plastics with fantastic

y’all are a hoot

sometimes i wonder why people shit on .ml so much.

sometimes.

incensole acetate has ~1/10th the anti-anxiety potency of valium, which is pretty darn high if you think about it!

myrrh is also psychoactive, but it’s a straight up opoid agonist. it was commonly used as a pain reliever before the widespread use of opium poppies. in high-ish concentrations folks report general euphorua, dream-like states, and even vivid/lucid dreams! i can personally attest to the first two hahah

late reply but i ONLY JUST CONSIDERED, the cloth would most likely have some static charge which WOULD result in a literal “attraction force” towards the water!

physics is so stupid, i love it so much

is THIS why i’m so enraptured with tritium accessories?

i mean it’s literally why liquids wick into cloth

the cloth attracts it because of the capillary action pulling water into the gaps therein, and capillary action relies on surface tension! i think without outside forces like suction, the liquid in this scenario would never flow against gravity.

i think hahah

oils have low surface tension, i believe a true no-surface tension liquid is as impossible as a true frictionless surface.

i didn’t consider friction though! i think the rag would still dry out completely pretty quick, but you might have a few seconds while the water falls out depending on how tight the mesh is?

i dunno, this is a real whacky thing to think about!

i think without surface tension it would also just fall out of the cloth as soon as you lift it, because nothing would wick against gravity. in fact of your floor is pourous at all, i reckon the water would just immediately all flow further down and you’d be left with a dry floor.

man THAT’S why that happens!

the hammer is my penis

ds9 is best trek imo. the double fake identity twist is just silly enough that it somehow feels conceivable, even with the cosmetic surgery angle. i don’t know that i’d take a plot like that seriously in anything other than a star trek story lmao

depends HEAVILY on the eye. some folks are really good at eyeballing shit. usually this goes hand in hand with other “visual calculus” skills like telling whether two things are the same size or determining angles at a glance.

reckon it’s just spatial reasoning + visualization + practice. i had an uncle who could look at a mechanical system and tell you exactly where all the wear would occur. i always thought it was some kind of savant trick until i started working on similar stuff.

the brain is just another muscle, you can train it to so all sorts of really amazing things!

bowie didn’t hit me when it happened, but years later blackstar made me weep

i learned about crosscode recently, and i could tell from just a few gameplay snippets that it’s a game i’ll spend a lot of time with. at full price it was only $20, and i’m more than happy to support the devs.

their next game, alabaster dawn, looks really nice so far too.

i don’t think we need one?

also you can etch those lil white squares surprisingly easily with commercially available glass etching creams, my mom used to fuck around with em a lot in like the 90’s i think.

maybe a difference in the actual composition of the grease? i was writing on polished stainless pots at below freezing temps, but i was ALSO using new-old-stock refills bc the current standard size is it’s own proprietary can of worms lol
