Adderbox76 , to pics in New Zealand shown from the International Space Station

I wonder what kind of lens they use to make the horizon curve like that…

/s obviously

I feel like it’s hard to truly comprehend the scale of pictures like this. They always make the world look so small.

Too far. I love extreme sports too but you have to be alive to have an adrenaline rush. You can’t experience that if you’re dead.

Is it really with those colors?

@lefty7283@lemmy.world avatar

The saturation is increased, but looking at the moon through a telescope you can barely see some faint blue/tan colorations that line up with this pic. The blue areas have more titanium minerals and the tan/orange areas have more iron

Thank you! I never knew that before. Titanium wow.

The mountain’s wife is tiny. Not a dwarf, but just small.

You think “dwarf” is offensive? What about the Dwarves from LOTR? Or the Dwarves from WoW? Or the Dwarves from OnePiece? Or the Dwarves from Norse Mythology who made Thor’s hammer? Dwarves are awesome, “little people” sounds like an even worse insult than the M-word.

Try saying “little person” with the tone of voice you’d talk to a kitten meowing at you. And then say “Dwarf” like a Nordic guy.

batmaniam ,

Honestly the comparisons you made are the point. They’re just people who are short, not a magical mythical race of non humans lmfao. THATS where the whole “little person” thing comes from.

DragonTypeWyvern ,

Yes but there are also folk that actually like the term. I guess default to little person unless told otherwise?

batmaniam ,

That’s been a great rule that hasn’t failed me for nearly anything.

EmperorHenry ,
@EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

The condition is called “dwarfism” in medical textbooks.

batmaniam ,

Sure, but there are loads of medical conditions with less than ideal names (a particularly severe structure is caused by a gene literally named Sonic the hedgehog). The clinical name might be important in a clinical setting but that’s not where most of us interreact with people. I’m just going with what I’ve known people to prefer.

Kusimulkku ,

Little people sounds demeaning to me

Agrivar ,

Did… did you just speedrun a comment/callout/rebuttal all by yourself, in the body of a single comment?

Impressively efficient, if a bit strange.

Entropywins ,

I mean, if I had a say, I’d just call them a person…

Don’t get it twisted, I’m not prejudice against them.

Those would be mythological dwarves, not human dwarves.

To whoever’s downvoting me, were you under the impression some human blacksmith brothers crafted Odin’s spear and Mjolnir?

@southsamurai@sh.itjust.works avatar

They aren’t pronounced the same? I’ve never heard the distro’s name spoken

Molten_Moron ,

The joke is that Kilimanjaro is pronounced similar to ‘Kilomanjaro’, which would be 1000 Manjaros.

What plane is that? It looks like a B25 but the B25 doesn’t seem to have the twin engines on the tail, but under the winds.

SuperNinjaFury ,

It’s just a photo shopped picture of a B25 where they moved the engines to make it look like an A10.

Crowfiend ,

Ah ok. The A-10 is a favorite of mine and this looked like it could be a variant.

Canadian_Cabinet ,

Its a B25 but with A10 engines

We should all just switch to Unix time.

Zehzin ,
@Zehzin@lemmy.world avatar

That’ll be great for 14 years

notabot ,

Linux has been switching that to 64 bit, applications just need to catch up and use the new call. They’ve got almost a decade and a half, so I’d hope they’ll all be updated, but you know there’ll be something subtle and critical that only gets done at the last second.

We could inadvertently make 12/31/1969 and 1/1/1970 the most dangerous destination for time travelers, sounds fun to me.

Routhinator , to mildlyinteresting in Managed to stop the pump at exactly $10 today
@Routhinator@startrek.website avatar

In Canada you have to prepay and set the maximum amount of fuel you want, so this is “every time I dont set the max to more than my tank can hold” for me.

Jakeroxs ,

What happens if you overpay and can’t fill up the full amount?

Hedlosa ,

I would assume it stops and then you pay after whatever it stopped at

Jakeroxs ,

He said you have to prepay tho

Nasan ,

The few times I’ve prepaid cash in the US, you go to the attendant booth/inside the convenience store and they’ll give you change.

Jakeroxs ,

Duh, good point.

Routhinator ,
@Routhinator@startrek.website avatar

Our gas pumps dont charge until the pump is stopped. The prepay is a ping on your account that basically reserves the funds after checking you have them, and then it let’s you pump, and only withdraws what you use.

And then the “sprinting” looks like it does in your sleep, where you feel like you’re running through treacle.

cloudless , to cooking in [RECIPE] Sushi Bake

It would sound much better if you change it’s name to “layered rice bake” instead of using the “sushi” name.

It just doesn’t feel quite right to call it sushi. Sushi rice is just short grain rice anyway.

That said, I really want to try it.

scytale OP ,

Well I didn’t exactly coin the term, that’s what it’s called by everyone who makes it.

HappycamperNZ ,

This was my thinking - this sounds and looks soo wrong but I’d demolish some.
