The thing about being a Door-To-Door used newspaper salesmen is that you learn not many people are interested in paying for yesterdays news, yet they have no problem having their children and grandchildren pay for the things that make the news today, down the road.

A imagem mostra um teto com uma rede de pesca presa ao teto, envolvendo uma lâmpada pendente. A rede parece estar desgastada e amarrada de forma irregular, criando uma forma irregular e desproporcional. A lâmpada, de cor branca, está suspensa no centro da rede, com sua cúpula apontando para baixo. O teto é de cor bege, e a rede é de cor marrom, contrastando com o teto. A rede parece ter sido instalada de forma improvisada, possivelmente para capturar algo ou para fins decorativos.

I admit there is one thing I sometimes use llm's for: generating largely meaningless crap for corporate processes and buereaucracy. Maybe the use of LLMs correlates precisely with the amount of meaningless devoid-of-meaning lifeless crap in our lifes?
Calciomercato, la Carrarese chiude a +17 Tante sono le operazioni in entrata concluse dalla società giallo azzurra: 10 sono contratti pluriennali per una rosa complessiva di 29 giocatori. L’obiettivo dichiarato è avere una formazione in grado di giocare sia con il 3-5-2 che con il 3-4-2-1
Astronomers have discovered a super massive black hole (SMBH) at the center of the well-known Cosmic Horseshoe Einstein Ring system.
Using gravitational lensing effects and stellar kinematics (how an SMBH affects the motion of stars around it) and data on asymmetrically placed lensed images of another distant galaxy, the mass of the SMBH is estimated at 36 billion solar masses, close to a new record. The galaxy itself is estimated at 5.2 trillion solar masses.
The diagram below illustrates the principle of an Einstein ring, formed when light from a distant object en route to an observer is bent by gravitational forces of an intervening object (e.g., a galaxy). This occurs because a massive body bends spacetime, as predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity.
When the observer and objects are aligned, multiple images of the distant object can be seen in the shape of a ring.
Einstein’s theory of gravity originated from contemplating falling objects, leading to insights about light bending in gravitational fields. Though initially dismissing gravitational lensing …
The following diagram is my guess for why the two images for the other distant galaxy appear asymmetrically placed around the main Einstein Ring in post #1.
The other distant galaxy must be located slightly off-center from the line of sight through the intervening massive galaxy.
To see an Einstein Ring like no other, check out this thread for an amazing image by the venerable NASA Webb Space Telescope. 🤩 fosstodon.org/@AkaSci/11423733… 4/n
This vibrant image by the JWST is one of the most amazing images of an Einstein Ring.
It features an elliptical galaxy named SMACSJ0028.2-7537 (the egg-yolk-like smooth center) surrounded by rings of light from a distant spiral galaxy, whose light has been bent by the gravitational forces of the foreground galaxy. Multiple blue spirals and even stars of the magnified distant galaxy can be seen in infrared "colors."

Chuck because it was so funny and did a great job capturing the San Gabriel Valley vibe of a Best Buy store (called Buy More in the show), which was located in Burbank.
The image features two individuals in a space-themed setting. The person on the left has voluminous, light-colored hair and is wearing a black and maroon uniform with a high collar and a distinctive insignia on the shoulder. The person on the right has short, dark hair and is wearing a similar uniform with a red and black color scheme. Both individuals are adorned with large hoop earrings. The background is a gradient of blue and green, with star-like specks, suggesting a cosmic environment.

Public relations giant Edelman is helping COP30 host-nation Brazil hone its media strategy for this year’s UN climate conference – even though it also works for Shell, one of the world’s biggest fossil fuel companies. climatechangenews.com/2025/07/…
Shell nelle sue pubbliche dichiarazioni scrive che «il mondo ha bisogno di una strategia bilanciata e ordinata per la transizione dalle fonti fossili» ma dimentica di dire che gli effetti sul clima del suo modello di business sono noti alle aziende petrolifere da cinquant’anni. Come sono ormai accertati i cinici tentativi di disinformazione e negazionismo. Una politica che ha impedito di cominciare a prendere provvedimenti, e quindi al ritardo attuale. Per questo, avere una società che lavora per clienti dell’oil&gas e altri impegnati nella difesa del clima è un controsenso.

I've played a lot of instruments (none of them particularly well). That quote is of course not literally true, but it is one of my most favorite happy instruments to jam on. The default tuning with open strings is already a happy G chord, and everything ends just adds flavor.

I saw The Arcadian Wild a couple of months ago. For their encore, they came out into the crowd and performed "Rain Clouds" *with* us. It was the first time all year that I've truly felt unalone.

I play Nipsy Hussle’s FDT every Thursday at the DC Protest OnThe Bridge. Then all the other old Hippies in the protest look scandalized, and I switch to something from CSN&Y. This happens every week.
Remember how Zuck went on Rogan and whined about how Biden was mean to him and he wasn't going to take it anymore... And the media was all like "look at the tough manly new Zuck" That was 8 months ago. RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:sg2e2…
Prevent that annoying sticky plastic buildup that causes print failures by using our Plastic Repellent Paint™. Start using this time-saving paint today.
likely related to the PFAS ban. They will probably not heat it enough to get rid of all residues. Wear gloves etc if you must. But then you still have this stuff on the bottom of every one of your prints.
@RichiH Makes sense, wasn't aware how far they've come with that ban (also somewhat ignorant towards the fact that e.g. PTFE tubes are made out of PFAS - how will those even be replaced?).
Any other recommendations to get your nozzle to be less sticky, especially with PETG? Perhaps some specific material, or some other kind of coating? Looking for a V6 Volcano-compatible solution, preferably made out of a harder material so abrasive materials still work.
