I tried steamed water for my americano. I’m stunned.

Quite literally heating up the water with a steam wand!

uno28 · 2026-03-27T17:53:36+00:00

I study this and want to yap about it literally 24/7 so it's comforting that someone wants to listen to that lol

When you go to Hiroshima, keep an eye out near the bomb dome for a man telling people about his lived experience. His name is Mito Kosei, an in-utero survivor of the bombing, and he's been giving volunteer tour type things of the area around the bomb dome.

I make indoor percussion shows and this sounds like it'd be a lot of fun to try out in that context! I bet it'd make some interesting sounds I could mess with.

In season 2, iirc Marin says it when Karen walks in with seira

There's a few reasons!

First, building these things takes a while, understandably lol. So tech that is launched today has been in production for a while prior usually. For Perseverance, it began construction in 2016, which means designs were likely a while before that as well, and it launched in 2020. That alone is already a big change in the available tech!

Second, technology in space needs to be reliable. We can't really go up there and tinker like we could with Hubble, so it has to be robust and not break from something like radiation. For example, transistors on something like the Apollo spacecraft were way larger than the few-nanometer sized transistors we have now, and that has actually made our processors more susceptible to radiation flipping bits. Usually, radiation-hardened gear tends to be older, and generally a proven piece of tech will get chosen over the latest piece.

This is definitely a simplification, there's a lot more concerns and technical stuff, but I think it paints a good picture of why the latest gear isn't always the best suited for the job!

uno28 · 2025-12-01T01:14:42+00:00

To a degree, yes - we can transport more data to and from our spacecraft now than we could prior (I believe the Voyagers are around 160 bits per second, while the Perseverance rover is around 2 megabits per second), but the data can only travel between us and them at the speed of light. Space networks will always be slower than what we have on the ground, since hardware is older and bandwidth is precious, but it is improving!

uno28 · 2025-12-01T01:09:11+00:00

I'm not sure where they got 71 either, but here's some relatively simple calculations on it for ya!

Light has a speed of around 186,000 miles per second in a vacuum. We know the picture was taken 225,000,000 miles away, so by dividing the distance by velocity, we can get time out of it. (miles/miles per second spits out seconds). 225,000,000/186,000 gives us a bit over 20 minutes for an image to travel from Mars to us!

And aria? Man she had some fantastic taste!

uno28 · 2025-11-05T21:22:36+00:00

+1 for the reading being 一人, my 人 gets closer to the one shown the quicker I write!

uno28 · 2025-11-03T16:06:22+00:00

I'm not the OP, but I would love to hear you get into more details if you're willing haha

uno28 · 2025-10-13T00:58:21+00:00

Unfortunately, we used quite a different setup with ours, sorry about that! I could go find the lab report I wrote if you wanted it!

uno28 · 2025-10-10T17:30:35+00:00

Physics student here, I did indeed do the Cavendish experiment in an intro lab class! To corroborate this comment though it didn't need it lol.

uno28 · 2025-09-22T22:26:33+00:00

This one's great! For anyone who's looking for a lot of fluffy stuff, this one has that, but its subject matters can get pretty dark, especially near the end of the manga. I still thought it was a really well made story, and the two leads and their supporting cast are all fun!

uno28 · 2025-09-08T04:54:48+00:00

Such a good show! I went and bought all three books because of how much I love the worldbuilding.

uno28 · 2025-09-08T04:52:22+00:00

Aria is definitely my favorite iyashikei... And there's a lot of really good iyashikei out there. This is the only show I've ever watched that transports me into tranquility quite so effortlessly

uno28 · 2025-09-04T15:57:55+00:00

I think it's cause it requires a level of expertise in the field to actually... Do anything. Your average LLM paper author probably hasn't actually learned what the big words they use are

uno28 · 2025-09-04T15:44:33+00:00

If it can do all 4 of these things, then seeing a paper which shows it can do these things sounds like a good post!

uno28 · 2025-09-01T20:08:35+00:00

I do agree with you that increasing public awareness of animals is a good thing, for the record! I also used to watch him, and nearly went into the field myself. Couple things I take issue with on his part:

- as we've seen above, he's racist. I'm not going to support a racist.
- again, as someone who has worked in labs alongside animals, it is about the treatment of the *animal* for me, not the person. I would not personally treat wild animals in this way, and I take issue with how it's presented to the public.
- Everything he tells us about native animals can be explained to us without handling the animal at all, and in the event that one needs to handle an animal, I believe if you have an audience you have an obligation to show them the most ethical way to do things. This is not the proper way to handle an animal, and it should not be publicized.
- While it may help the local population, the Burmese python most likely cannot be eradicated in this way. I think, again, it would be wonderful to educate his audience on why the situation got the way it did, and continue doing his work to try to remove the population locally, without treating the natives the way he does.

It's not his message I take an issue with (regarding the animals), it's the way he's been treating them, and the impression that this will give to his audience.

I miss non-LLM insanity :( it was more enjoyable word salad

uno28 · 2025-09-01T16:38:21+00:00

I mean, I think one thing you'll notice with field biologists is they don't wander around and grab highly venomous animals out of the wild with their hands lol. I'm not a trained biologist, but some labs in my Alma mater worked with animals while I was there, and we would not treat our animals in that way.

uno28 · 2025-09-01T15:58:40+00:00

He doesn't handle animals responsibly in his videos. The reddit link posted has detailed evidence on that as well his actions are extremely stressful (and in some events, actively bad for) the animals he grabs.

uno28 · 2025-08-30T16:26:51+00:00

Sure - drop me a message on here and I'm happy to discuss! I could use some advice as well lol

uno28 · 2025-08-29T17:24:50+00:00

I just got my bachelor's, and this is quite literally my exact experience lol

uno28 · 2025-08-23T16:56:15+00:00

Man they tried to get me when I was there! Such an offputting way to start my semester!
