  • And here I was running out of ideas of what to encapsulate!

    BTW if someone has an idea of something cool to do with this, I’m all ears.
    I bought phosphorescent pigment with the plan to make little canisters of ooze from TMNT 2 but not sure what to mix the pigment with…ideally something non flammable, I’ve tried water but it wasn’t super conclusive.

    Machined it in two parts using my former workplace’s CNC (I only gave it this shape because I had access to it).

    The dark line you see is where the parts are glued together, and I added a black laminate interlayer thinking it’d give it some style.

    Then did what felt like a year of sanding for such a small object, and some oil to finish it.

    I messed up the grain orientation though and the smaller hole in the back has been broken and glued back on already


  • Interesting! To each their own I guess, I enjoy most of these things when used in intelligently. Kind of like what an artist’s style in a painting adds to the scene.

    I had a different experience with avatar 2, saw it in 3d and apparently variable framerate and my eyes were getting lost everytime the framerate changed by a noticeable amount.

    You’re right, anyone coule have started it but I don’t believe that’s his point. I think he’s talking about the fact that the fundraiser for a billionaire is allowed by the website while the one for the guy who allegedly took him out is not.

    Ps: I’m not arguing for or against anything, just clarifying a detail about the comment you seem to have misunderstood.


  • Look it’s my opinion from personal experience, just disregard it if it bothers you.

    I read the whole series of posts but didn’t see them, I guess I needed to search some more - my bad.

    I’m not saying social media doesn’t let you do all those things, I’m saying you don’t need it to do them.

    I don’t have kids and never used Snapchat, but what does Snapchat provide that helps them communicate better than let’s say WhatsApp?

    Edit: I went to dig on Burnett’s page for the links you tell me about. All I found was a radio interview of a doctor on radio Boston, an article from the Sunday times about Burnett’s book and an article on Wales online, also about the book.

    Could you link me to the relevant articles I must have missed?

    Edit 2: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7364393/ Found this article that combines different studies made on the subject. Around halfway through the page you will find the results of some of these studies and you will see the answer isn’t clear.
