hey science side of tumblr, if you’re not on your union mandated lunch break, a question for you
when these resin casts are made and the top is sorta like, opaque (if that’s the right word) how come when the liquid resin is poured on top and then sets, that it becomes perfectly clear
Because of light refraction! Basically when you sand Resin casts (or in this case, from sanding the pinecones down) you wind up with an absolute fuckton of tiny scratches in the surface, and light that hits it bounces in all kinds of weird directions. But, since liquid resin can still bond with set resin, pouring a *very thin* layer of it over the top fills in the imperfections and makes the surface smooth like glass, so the light travels in a normal pattern again
The Little Free Pantry utilizes a
familiar, compelling concept to pique local interest in and action
against local food insecurity. The Little Free Pantry offers a place
around which neighbors might coalesce to meet neighborhood needs,
whether for food or for fun.
The single Little Free Pantry is “little.” Lots of Little Free Pantries might be big. Duplicate freely.
helpful thing: if someone finds your (lack of) visible emotional reaction offputting, a good go-to phrase is, “sorry, I’m still processing this–how are you feeling?”
focus the conversation back on them, because if they’re telling you about it, they needed the space to be heard. you don’t need to have a big emotional response, people do actually find it comforting if you’re calm and receptive and give them space to delve into their own emotions.
it’s shitty that autistic people are made out to be unhelpful with emotional conversations, when it’s that groundedness and presence of mind that can be so desperately needed for people in a crisis. neurodivergent people, your calmness is a superpower.
I heard reference to something about how all anime are required to have good looking cabbage because of That One Time. So simply looking up “anime cabbage” I found the source.
Some harem anime way back in the day had an episode where the characters cooked, and they animated cabbage so terribly like this it left a bad mark on the anime community forever. Apparently this is part of the reason why all food usually looks good in anime, even moreso than the regular show sometimes. With cabbage being especially well drawn.
A complaint, apparently in a paper.
The first show when released internationally was reanimated in this part.
And high quality or low quality cabbage is sometimes referenced.
I learned of this because the most recent Hologra episode has noel eating cabbage, tearing apart a fine quality cabbage into two low poly halves.
i love learning about other cultures’ memes, especially like this
Oh my god, it’s more unpaid Twitter rent. Twitter’s London headquarters are on Crown Estate land, they’re the landlord.
Given that Prince Charles is still trying desperately to make us like him and has started putting a lot of publicly-known-about Crown Estate profits into the public purse, I wonder if the same would happen here if we all… made a fuss? Turned this into a public case? Made it clear this one is perfect for His Maj’s please-stop-hating-me personal campaign?
Could the struggling poor of Britain going through a cost of living crisis take Elon Musk’s money, is what I’m saying
