Green or blue lasers, that are 300mw or higher in power, will permanently fry the cmos sensor.

......Just in case anyone was wondering.

Edit: Adding a little helpful info.

Class 4 lasers are no joke, so take care, Comrades.

Made the mistake of buying a bag of spinach as a person who lives alone so now every single meal I eat for the next 2 weeks is gonna about this damn spinach. We are on 24/7 spinach lockdown. Last time this happened, I made 3 salads and a spinach curry and spinach pasta and STILL half the bag turned to green rot in the fridge. My conception of "what meals require spinach" is rapidly expanding into "what meals COULD conceivably include spinach." I am considering recipes never before seen outside the realms of vegan mommy blogs. By day 10 I anticipate I will probably just do a Land Before Time and take the rest of that shit raw

I relied on a local foodbank for a while and had this experience with goat cheese. Everything had fucking goat cheese in it. A similar thing happened with corn my grandmother canned, at some point I had so much corn that I just dumped all of it into a pot and turned it into corn chowder, but then I had to eat this MASSIVE pot of corn chowder lol

It was good corn, and I was starving at the time so I wasn't complaining (still wouldn't even if I wasn't), but it was the corn-pocalypse.

10000 YEAR OLD ROCK ART OF GIRAFFES FOUND IN LIBYA LET'S GO

YES!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

of note: 95% of libya is desert, and giraffes are not found there! but this predates not just the libyan desert, but the entire sahara desert it's a part of! giraffes aren't found there any more and this is a memory of a time when things were giraffier

also apparently this rock art dates across multiple periods spanning thousands of years? but i couldn't find much detail on that so i can't give specifics

but yeah, this isn't just a memory of giraffes, but of giraffes now absent encountered by people just 2000 years (the difference between the late roman republic and today) out of the ice age, in a climate unfamiliar to any of the hundred billion people born since the desertification of the sahara drove the ancient egyptians to the nile, near the start of the agricultural revolution

the time between this and the birth of the sahara was nearly as long as the time between the birth of the sahara and now, in which all recorded history is contained, and all languages we can recognise at all - the language and culture of these people would be totally alien to current libyans, twice the difference between the oldest european language and english, predating all but libya's mountains!

and we have pictures of giraffes of the time! what a beautiful gift from such a distant past

Nigel Farage: I won!

UK: Yeah. In a by election you called purely to stroke your own ego, where every other party refused to participate. The only other candidate was a satirical comedian who wears a bin on his head. And he still got about a third of the votes, and yet you still refused to show up to the announcement

Farage: But I won!

UK: Yeah, you won. Your prize is, we're still going to continue that investigation into the suspicious amount of money you were bribed with. You utter twat.

This made me so fucking angry I have to inflict it on all of you.

what’s the punchline here

wait

ai fatigue

I rely heavily on what I call "scheduled chaos", it's after all my other tasks and routines are complete late at night and I let the ADHD rule where that goes. Scheduled chaos also usually doubles as brain defrag time. Prescheduled social events also double as scheduled chaos, and are beneficial to my mental health.
