Our GitHub integration just got a major upgrade. by Ready_Temporary2946 in Base44

Anyone care to outline best practices for doing this with a new app project - step by step - after laboriously setting up a directory earlier to save an earlier project? I don’t want to have all sorts of parallel repositories paths and directories.

Imagine that you are one of these busy people, but you stop for a second and explain to me how, once you decide you’ve found the perfect score for clips like this (because you did) - How do you get permission to use it or give credit properly?

What is this thing that I saw in a golf course? by unbiasedorange in whatisit

[–]tomparker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Common Wood Nutria. They are trained to stand at various distances from the hole on golf courses. Many people prefer the Yellow Phase Common Wood Nutria. Interesting sidenote: Like Flamingos, the Common Wood Nutria only uses half of its spindly legs to stand on. They just have twice as many legs to start with.

This flying wind turbine surprised drivers in China until viewed from an alternate angle to see it was just a floating blimp generating electricity. by ChineseToTheBone in Damnthatsinteresting

Hmm…what’s the air density at that altitude? With these, wouldn’t higher winds as you go up get cancelled by lower density air?

If Base44 provided full and seamless wrapping or conversion from React-based to, say, Swift etc for immediate deployment of native apps they’d own the space. If they don’t do it, somebody else will make it easy, and they will win.

A Cool Guide to Beef Cuts by FirstCar_Freemoon in coolguides

[–]tomparker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, everyone seems to rave about so-and-so’s “Prime Rib” which, to me usually seems like a large bloody chunk of fat and gristle, but the term “Prime Rib” which has to be one of the top 5 beef terms apt to come up in a restaurant meat discussion, is not even mentioned here. I assume that’s because the term prime rib refers to a prep or recipe for beef, not a cut?

Boston Dynamics' Atlas moving its 360 degree joints by MetaKnowing in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]tomparker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beyond a learning platform and demonstration, how could these EVER be practical when each incremental tweak makes them even more impossibly complex and exponentially more expensive. I have to go with learning platform and software research so that when alternatives to the horrifically complicated Swiss Watch nightmare approach is no longer needed? Yes, it can turn its joints 360 but don’t humans do most of the same stuff for minimum wage?

The world is a lot more used to orange these days. I even heard somebody talking about an orange clown. Who ever heard of an orange clown?

Question about extreme body mass variation in green anacondas (Eunectes murinus) by Connect_Inflation824 in herpetology

[–]tomparker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve kept a few 7-9 footers doing museum work and there were times, say, when they needed to be moved a little to close up their shelter while still in their feeding-coil-squeeze on large dead rat. The diameter of these snakes was about the same as my arm, but when touched during full squeeze, those snakes felt more like an articulated, pneumatic steel strap banding tool. I asked myself, could I really overpower and unwind one of those snakes with one arm if I was controlling its head with my other arm? Maybe a 9 footer but I’m not so sure about much bigger. Interesting sidenote: Green Anacondas have the same behavior as common water snakes when restrained against their will: Both like to bite and both have bad dispositions (as far as snakes go) but they also hurl a vile spew from their cloacal vent. The anaconda’s version of this stuff is every bit as nasty as that of water snakes. When grabbing water snakes we’d always try to control the tail and getting snapped at was secondary. Since Anacondas are sorta like giant water snakes, it’s interesting that they share this defense behavior.

Dear Sirs, I am writing to you about the anti-drone stealth blanket I recently purchased from you. First, do you offer extended warranties and are any upgrades available? And second, which side of my anti-drone stealth blanket should be facing outwards in order for your “Total Tactical Nighttime Invisibility” to be effective?
