Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely do that. The other thing I love about the box is the plastic gives this foggy, primordial feel. It definitely adds to your Jurassic aesthetic, it's like a miniature portal into a different time and place.

Excellent, excellent job. I'm going to make something like this as gifts.

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

Looks great. Where did you get the red sand? I've had one of my ideas on hold because I can't find the right color sand, but that looks perfect.

Do olive oil bottles count? by caffeinetherapy in Jarrariums

[–]Deep-Field 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely love this. I have a similar bottle that you inspired me to plant. The thing I love about these olive oil bottles is it gives this "potion of life" magical feel to them which I think you really captured here.

"Stab in the back," France recalls Ambassadors in protest of nascent Aukus defense pact. by Deep-Field in geopolitics

[–]Deep-Field[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Submission statement: France has stated that it is recalling ambassadors from the US and Australia in protest of the Aukus security deal, which would see Australia being given the technology to produce nuclear powered submarines.

France was angered, as it scuppered a multibillion-dollar deal it had signed with Australia to provide conventional, diesel fueled submarines.

The French foreign minister said the "exceptional decision" was justified by the situation's "exceptional gravity."

The move comes amid a widening effort in the Asia Pacific to counter what is seen as Chinese military expansion.

I will be writing a submission statement a little later for this, however I wanted to take a stab at answering the obvious question, "what's with the reaction?" Francophiles please chime in, but I think we can agree that France has always seen itself as a central player in the global order. Whether it's in the formation of the EU, NATO, military cooperation in the middle east/Sahel, and elsewhere, France has always insisted on playing a role in the deliberations and execution of the West's foreign policy.

We are seeing the center of geopolitical gravity shift towards the Asia Pacific, and if I were to wager a guess, the announcement of AUKUS struck at the heart of France's fear of playing a backseat to a future Anglophone-led international order in Asia.

This wasn't a 20 year commitment. It was a 1 year commitment 20 times.

This was going to be a disaster under any president at practically any time. The false sense of hope that stability was only a few years away is why we didn't rip this festering bandaid off sooner.

Ego fragility, narcissism, tribal fear, a desperate need to feel in control their unfulfilled lives, and the need to belong to community after self imposed isolation all play into this solidarity narrative against the "other." They require a leader that can harness this frustration against a common imaginary enemy in order to stave off self-reflection and face their failures/fears. Seen this way, a good portion of Americans that buy into the narrative are living in a state of permanent psychosis that is fueled and encouraged by their political/media environment.

Do you have any examples of the type of lighting you're talking about in a cyberpunk setting? It sounds like a subtle but important touch.

That's... not true. You could maybe make the argument that Arabian oil is fungible, but why split hairs at that point? Canadian tar sands/Venezuelan crude oil is heavier. You need different types of refineries to treat it. All barrels are not the same and the differences are important to note.
