If they don't blink and you hear the servos whirring, that's a pretty good sign.

In other news, they interviewed 200 historians and by chance found one that happened to predict 9 of the last 10 elections correctly.

Knowing the media, not being able to say anything coherent is a benefit for him, because unlike Harris, nothing he says can be construed as truth, a lie, or anything sensible. If Harris says something that could be even slightly wrong, she will be pilloried, while Trump will be excused because he is senile.

Gravity is not instantaneous. It moves at the speed of light. And the "speed of light" can only be measured locally, because the time and space at a point are curved. The path of light corresponds to "null geodesics" in spacetime, and a body traveling along the geodesic experiences no time elapsed.

The only material changes I can see would be for Russia to move nuclear weapons into occupied Ukraine and/or resumes nuclear testing. Every other escalation does not result in a change their stance that can be perceived from outside Russia. Either of these events would cause an enormous elevation in the readiness and deployment of NATO forces and would risk uncontrolled escalation. How desperate is Putin now?

The system can be overwhelmed by having too many incoming rockets, so it does have its limits.

The question is, which worker in an office will be the first to come in only four days a week.? They have to make management shut down the office, otherwise the workers will be too afraid of management to not be seen.

The question now is how much is left in Marvel for Disney to exploit? And what will happen once Marvel movies don't reliably make a profit? They might bury the corpse, or dismember it and sell it for parts.

Could someone recommend examples of high-fidelity, best-practices Western Blots from Open Access Papers? I would like to use these examples to see what kind of distortions or corruption might occur to these images when they are reproduced or archived in various ways.

I have a program (fldigi, pointed to by the github link) that uses dozens of shared libraries. I would like to be able to distribute a pre-compiled version of the program for testers. I could require each tester to install the shared libraries and compile the program for themselves, however, this would be extremely difficult for most users. What are some options for distributing a pre-compiled version of a linux program? Do I need to make a package for common distributions or common versions of each distribution? How about snap, nix, or flatpak? I don't have much experience with using docker or preparing docker containers, and the particular program (fldigi) requires access to system hardware to function, which a containerized version would have to accommodate.

This is going to be a temporary solution and I hope once the program is done being tested, my changes can be pulled upstream and then distributions will include it that way.

It seems to me these giant grants to a small number of organizations (Climate United Fund, Coalition for Green Capital, Power Forward Communities) seems like it could be delivering pork to well-connected people. Is this actually going to produce "clean" energy and help disadvantaged people? These seem like very large awards to a small number of organizations.

Guitar Pedal (github.com)
submitted 11 months ago by profdc9@lemmy.world to c/3dprinting@lemmy.world

For the past few days I've been working on a 3-D printable footpedal potentiometer to be used in a guitar pedal. It is a parametric model in FreeCAD. It has a top and bottom that hinge together, with a potentiometer that is coaxial with the hinge so that when the pedal is pressed, the potentiometer is rotated.
