Why is Ellen Degeneres in there?

SzethFriendOfNimi ,

At least it makes sense why a city council who plans budgets and tax revenue based on existing models makes sense.

They’d feel the pain of having to maintain infrastructure for less occupied offices with lower tax revenue.

I don’t agree. I think cities should work on taking the shifts into consideration but it makes more sense for them than some employers who get no benefit and seem to be doing it out of habit or for power dynamics.

Does anyone here have the Eaglemoss Enterprise D dedication plaque? If so, did you figure out a way to mount it on the wall? ( lemmy.world )

I can’t figure it out. It isn’t huge, but it’s heavy. Specs are 9 x 2 x 12 inches - ‎1.52 pounds. And it’s totally smooth on the back. Nowhere to put a hook. Has anyone figured out a way to do it?...

SzethFriendOfNimi ,

Is it metallic? Specifically anything a strong magnet can attach to?

If so maybe a wall mount with several strong neodymium magnets and a lip on the bottom to lessen the chance of it falling would help?

It’s the kind of thing 3d printing is great for.

SzethFriendOfNimi ,

Just a quick search across printables and thingiverse to show what some people are doing with eaglemoss. May find something that matches your needs exactly if there’s somebody who can print it (or via your library)

Or as inspiration for any woodcraft or other diy solution.

Another one that comes to mind would be some kind of acrylic/plexi case but that gets real pricey real fast.

SzethFriendOfNimi ,

Command strips are great for that. And obvious now that it’s mentioned. They even gave some heavy duty ones if you’re really worried about it dropping.

SzethFriendOfNimi ,

And a dose of West World

SzethFriendOfNimi ,

Totally fair opinion. I like it because it’s the Wizard behind the Curtain scenarios.

That peace treaty and the wonderful meal prepared?

Yeah… guys on the lower decks had to make that happen. Mundane paperwork, etc.

How did this magically get resolved so quickly? Lower decks did it.

It’s the Star Trek equivalent of Super Store where you see the lofty ideals and futuristic space travel is really just every day life with people doing people things like we do today. Whether good or bad.

You’ll still need a drain too which, even if the water length and bends was alright, wouldn’t work in that scenario.

The way I understand it is that it’s a field just as photons are an excitation of the electromagnetic field.

Except that the Higgs interacts with some particles giving them “mass” where they otherwise wouldn’t.

So it “exists” in the sense that there is an all pervasive field that is interacting with other fields/particles.

PBS space time is a great channel for things like this

And here’s an easier intro to the topic

Definitely. There’s always whole swathes of nuance and you have to do that. Even so I still find some of it hard to follow.

Similar to viascience. Great introductory material that gets harder and harder the deeper you go.

Which, to me, just speaks of the incredible depth of knowledge we have and astounds me that we figured out as much as we have as it gets less and less intuitive.

SzethFriendOfNimi ,

Probably not need but it would be helpful when determine where to apply what limited resources (time, staff, ship location) is most needed for a given mission

SzethFriendOfNimi ,

As I understand it. LEDs work on PWM. The controllers should regulate it as needed.

So it’s changed from 120 to whatever internal DC current is needed and that’s cycled.

When you use a dimmer you’re lowering/raising that 120v which is messing with the bulbs AC/DC converter which is designed to take 120 and output the applicable DC current for whatever LEDs it has on the circuit.

It definitely won’t adjust the PWM rate or brightness except in some extreme range and I’d personally avoid it unless you have some bulb that says it’s fine (e.g. doing something clever to adjust the DC based on the AC input)

Threads vs microblogs?

Does anyone have any advice on whether to use or when you're looking to say, start a discussion about a topic on ? Is there an etiquette for what option is best? Or do people just pick depending on their mood (having a Twitter vs a Reddit sort of a day)?

SzethFriendOfNimi ,

It’s not related to Meta (name aside)

@NudelnAlDente

As I understand it on kbin a:

  • thread is the equivalent to a Reddit “post”. E.g. it’s the main link/image/text entry that other people can comment on that’s added to a community.

A microblog is like a “tweet” but added to a particular magazine (aka community)

So, for example, the all homepage of kbin social is all threads.

But if you want to just generally throw out something to a community unrelated to any article/thread you do it as a microblog.

SzethFriendOfNimi ,

It can definitely be confusing. And kbin’s naming convention is confusing too.

Either way it’s an interesting way to build a platform and I’m enjoying the change of pace
