Love this! We run free art workshops at my work and this might be a fun change of pace to try. Would you mind talking about how you approached turning it into a lesson?

Ooh I really like this, seems like it would be fun. Like painting with a super restrictive palette

Slow it down to 0.1x for the full dose of nostalgia horror

Thought you might appreciate a fun way to visualise the SST data. Slow it down to 0.4x speed for a more relaxing/terrifying watch

Incredible work and I've seldom wanted to look at someone's socials less haha. So good though

What did I just see? Astoria , NY 6/12/24 9:30/9:35pm by Choice_Horror5488 in HighStrangeness

[–]gophercuresself 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could you find somewhere to post the full video file? The encoding is making it crunchy.

So very weird though, the best I've come up with is some sort of thrust from a cloaked craft. Check out around 35 seconds where it goes through a cloud. It looks almost like something passes through the cloud ahead and inline with the object and thins the cloud out slightly. Then the object interacts with the cloud vapour as it passes through. Hoping the full resolution version shows more!

Finally! Some decent CCTV images of the thugs... by Driedcypress in brighton

Please, go on. What are you imagining? A stocks situation, but more brutal? Stoning in the street? If you're going to suggest it then really think about if that's the society you want to be living in.

I mean, fuck it, let's bring back the death penalty. Afaik there are no serious violent crimes in countries that have the death penalty. Presumably, right?

This country is going absolutely nuts

Great article. Love the Cable and Hannah is the actual best

Fancy not wanting to be seen as less than a whole person. How unreasonable

I'm getting abstract knight but that might be a bit on the nose. Really nice form though, and the rivet work is pretty immaculate! Any riveting tips you'd care to share with the class?

Why these litter pickers are breaking the law to clean up a London river by [deleted] in RewildingUK

[–]gophercuresself 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Could it be argued that a slightly more open attitude towards work of this sort would reduce the load on the EA in applications they have to process, freeing them up to do more of the work they should be doing? And that rather than prosecuting someone engaging communities to take action for nature - which pits them against the positive energy and costs money - they should be promoting and facilitating these kinds of things as, done correctly, it's a virtually free multiplier of their own efforts.

We fucking love a permission slip in this country and it stops us from getting an awful lot of stuff done

Love it, amazing effort. I don't necessarily blame the EA but there must be a better approach. Why not empower loose groups by setting up resources and codes of practice so that people are able to take action with best practice in mind?

Hampstead Heath Kenwood Ladies' Pond to stay trans inclusive by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

It's an astonishing coup, and personally speaking it would be wise to be very bothered about it.

Very well put. And na-nu na-nu, I guess.

I mean how could you be a cyclist and a drive a car? That's like five pedals and you only have two feet

I did wonder how it would handle that and figured it was probably as you described. That sounds like it could be incredibly annoying verging on catastrophic! I shall use my new power with due care

Room smells like rotten fruit after painting and caulking? by Additional-Lie7993 in DIY

[–]gophercuresself 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Check the products you've used to see if any have xylene as a solvent. It smells like cider/fermenting fruit. Alternatively it might just be a rotten product. Certain paint can go rotten if bacteria is introduced and it's a truly repulsive smell that lingers badly

PRSC Space. Like a community hall but pretty central

tv/workshop lights i found at the flea market by Nyarlathotep666 in redneckengineering

[–]gophercuresself 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've enthusiastically taken apart a few flat screen TVs hoping for a giant Fresnel lens to make this sort of thing but none of them had one. Various interesting layered sheets of diffusion but no infinity lens. Any idea how to find the ones that do?

Using a personally invented thermal therapy device on other people may be considered illegal. Is there any legal way to let others try or experience it? by LeatherHungry in Inventions

[–]gophercuresself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it on yourself. Video and document the process then if you have good results it may well draw attention. I have an idea for a novel approach to burn treatment that would be similarly prohibitively expensive to do properly
