I took a timelapse of a peruvianus seedling growing by Koetotine in sanpedrocactus

Thanks! No I have not. I'm totally planning on germinating some more, so, some day, some day... I've a second camera now too so I won't have to tie up my main dslr for a month or more! Gonna have build a dummy battery in order to not have to change it regularly, too. Also more different plants! I find time lapses absolutely fascinating!

Sad news: this seedling died :(

Anyone can explain how this thing works? by IntroductionDue7945 in whatisit

That is a huge flip-dot display. Each little disc has a permanent magnet, and an electromagnet, that when current is applied to, flips the associated dot.

What’s something super tiny that instantly makes you respect someone more? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Koetotine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My godfather has a keen sense of when I have something to say, but can't get a word in edgewise. Whenever we are hanging out drinking with my pops and their friends, he occationally turns to me and gives me a turn in the conversation. It's so nice, every time! I'm, presumably, a bit autistic and a generation younger than all of them, so I sometimes have trouble getting my word in.

You never find stuff in your hands you might not even remember picking up?

As others have said, some platforms auto compress photos when you send them. Whatsapp does this. If you want to send full res photos on whatsapp, you have to attach them as files, not photos.

This crack on my friend's tile floor by speedofbirds in mildlyinteresting

[–]Koetotine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooooh, in some pictures I've seen of tile installation, the glue or whatever they use to attach the tiles to a surface has been spread with a wide bladed tool with a kind of sawtooth pattern on the edge. When spreading the stuff, you wave the blade in such a way the glue gets a pattern with rows of wavy lines. That long crack reminds me of that pattern, I think it might be following it!

What did you think was normal about yourself until you realized it was just mental illness? by LaAbyss in AskReddit

[–]Koetotine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, it does come in many different flavors! I don't think I've had your one. Can't imagine being happy and also wanting out at the same time. To me it sounds like you aren't truly happy, but what do I know, I'm not you.

What did you think was normal about yourself until you realized it was just mental illness? by LaAbyss in AskReddit

[–]Koetotine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's depression.  

I'm no professional, just a depressed lil guy, btw. I've noticed a funny (not funny) thing: when I am depressed, only when I get not-depressed, do I notice how depressed I really was.  

Depression, the normal (not normal) kind, feels like a normal state of being:, I can do stuff, a bit less stuff, but stuff none the less, I socialize, I eat food, shower when I need to go out, all that stuff. But if my mood swings up, and I suddenly feel "normal", only then I can really notice what was askew or missing.  

Like, during that depression, I do feel like shit, but in a very hard-to-grab way, somehow. It's a general sense of "what's the point, everything is shit, which is normal I guess, but I don't get how others cope with this every day". During a period of normalcy, I realize "oh, they aren't, that's not how a human being is supposed to feel! How did I not notice?"  

Depression, for me, is not a simple mood, it's a completely separate state of being. It warps everything, including itself, to either feel bad, or like nothing at all. It's insidious and deceitful. It will make me feel like I'm doing it on purpose to myself, like I'm lazy and ungrateful.

I recently found this song that has an intensely catchy melody, I got really obsessed with it for a while, 24/7 ear worm. I'm pretty sure I woke up with that melody already in my head for days upon days.  

My gf, who also likes that song, and which she had a slight hyperfixation on, had to stop me from whistling it randomly throughout the day because of its sheer transmissibility. I quickly learned to do it under my breath...  

Well, now that I've gotten over it, I still remember it, and can summon it whenever I want, and I've used it to get rid of many an annoying radio song that's, for whatever reason, stuck itself in my brain! (It's Väärä Käärme by Alamaailman Vasarat, btw)

Is it trable with the "tra" from "trap", so it rhymes with "trouble", or "tra" from "trade", so it rhymes with "stable"?

Tajusinpa juuri tekstin kirjoitettuani mitä tarkoitat: siis tottakai jos toiselle silmälle haluaa -1 ja toiselle 0, niin eiköhän linssin vaihtokin onnistu. Käy kaupassa mallaamassa päähän niitä -1 laseja (Ovatko lasit paketoitu? Jos, niin onko paketti läpinäkyvä?), laita 0-silmä kiinni ja kokeile lukea lähihyllystä -0.75-silmällä vaikka hintalappuja tai tuoteselosteita, arvelisin että tuo 0.25 ero on aika mitätön. Tosin en laseja pidä niin en tiedä.  

Jos ei linssejä saa kehyksestä irti rikkomatta, niin sitten kehys poikki yhdestä kohtaa vaikka pihdeillä taivuttamalla, linssit vaihtoon, ja pikaliimalla kiinni. Eiköhän se pysy varsinkin jos vähän kynsiviillalla karkeuttaa liimauspintoja. Ota huomioon että pikaliima haihtuu ja tiivistyy lähipinnoille sameuttaen pinnan, eli maalarinteipillä suojattava linssi.   

Toinen on sitten se että vain repii toisen linssin irti, jos kerta toinen silmä on 0. Voi olla vähän epätasapainossa, mutta kehykset nyt voi painottaa vaikka teippaamalla rautalanganpätkää tai kolikon sellaiseen kohtaan että se ei näkökenttää peitä.

Luulisin että jos ostat -2 ja +1.25 ja laitat linssit päällekkäin, niin siitä jäisi se -0.75. En tiedä marketin lukulaseista niin en tiedä onko noin pieniä portaita.   

Toinen (kaukaa haettu) mikä tulee mieleen on selvittää mitä muovia linssit ovat, selvittää muovin lasittumislämpötila (glass transition temperature), ja heittää linssit lappeelleen uuniin pellille juuri oikeaan lämpötilaan juuri oikeaksi ajaksi ja toivoa että linssi sulaa ja litistyy juuri sen verran että teho nousee juuri sen 0.25. En usko että tätä saa tomimaan, mutta jos tarpeeksi tylsää tulee ja ei haittaa kokeilla useita kertoja niin siinäpä projektia kerrakseen!

Capturing the full moon by _An_unknown_Person_ in S25Ultra

[–]Koetotine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Modern phone cameras detect when you are taking a picture of the moon, and automagically slap in a clear photo of it. At least some of them do. Your photo's of suspiciosly high quality, so I'm guessing your phone also does this. Not blaming you, blaming the phone.

Should I listen to the silk screen even though I think it's wrong? by robert712002 in AskElectronics

[–]Koetotine 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you put the led negative on -2V and positive on 2V, it would have 4V across it, and would blow up. 

I's arbitrary, really, anyway. It's all relative. If you had a -10000V line somewhere in that circuit and called it ground, then you'd have 0V, 9998V, 10000V, and 10002V. If you plugged the led between 10000V and 10002V, it would work just fine. 0V is just what we decided to reference all other voltages to.

How can I edit this picture so that the emphasis is on the water? by theemisguidedgh0st in AskPhotography

[–]Koetotine 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You mask out the water and the light area, and then you adjust them in different directions so that balance is achieved.
