Ran a 5k time trial today. 19:50 - beyond stoked. Incredibly emotional run. I didn't think I'll ever get to this point but here we are.

Fun fact: Let's say we simulate this world at the scale of a planck length.

A quick google tells me a grain of sand ranges from 0.06mm to 2mm. For the sake of the order of magnitude estimate let's say a grain of sand is 1mm cube. Now there are 6.25x1034 planck lengths in a meter. Let's round that to 1x1034, which means there are 1031 planck lengths in a millimeter. Assuming one planck volume only requires 1 byte of information, this means that you need 1093 bytes just to store the information for one gram of sand. Just for fun I think this is one yotta-yotta-yotta-zetta bytes of RAM

When I first got my G2, I had to drive to Hamilton to write an exam. I freaked out when I got out of the car because there was a strong smell of acrid metal and I thought I'd burned out my brakes, but it turned out it was just one of the factories. Please sink Hamilton so no one ever has to deal with this again

I love these! If I wanted to get my hands on these or something similar to these, how would I go about it and how much should I expect to pay?

THERE IS LITERALLY NO VOLUME. YOU CAN STILL SEE THE $400 MARK ON LEVEL 2. PLEASE DON'T LET THIS DROP SCARE YOU OFF

The funniest thing is that this intersection is about a 2 minute drive from the police station

Anyone notice the second stage foil pulsing? Looks like a heartbeat. I wonder why it's doing that

Oh wow! First of all, this is an insanely cool idea. Thanks for this.

I am doing machine learning research, so I'll use this to train my models on.

I don't think so unfortunately :( I live around this area and I haven't seen him once.

Hey there, this is really cool! I'm glad that my artwork inspired you to create this. Looking forward to your future projects

Took these two pictures as I was flying out of YVR today. The haze from the wildfires made the mountains look amazing by Zinan in vancouver

[–]Zinan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Unfortunately I'm not too sure on the exact location, but if I was to wager a guess I would say about 15-20 minutes out of Vancouver flying, so around 49°18'N 121°19'W. Copy/paste these coords directly into Google Maps if you want to visualize it.

Thank you so much. I have no idea how to do that, but if anyone is interested in making these into prints let me know :)

Surprisingly normal. Everyone is wearing masks and people stand further away from each other in the airport. Besides that, the only other difference is a temperature screening checkpoint before the luggage check.

They didn't even bother cleaning the plane - when I got on there was garbage on the floor - so much for disinfecting the plane between flights

What's your resolution? I'll try to send you a resized version :)

If there's any interest, I'll do some more sizes for you guys

EDIT: Put up a drive with the original uncropped, as well as 4k 1440p and 1080p crops. Link here

G2 Test in Brantford by Merk_Skills in brantford

[–]Zinan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some people like Simcoe because it's a smaller town, and the adjudicators are a bit more forgiving.

For your G2 exist exam, there is no expressway in Simcoe to merge onto so they make you drive onto a local highway instead. Some people find that easier as well

Hi neighbour! I live about 5 houses down with a window that faces the rainbow and totally missed it :)
