667@lemmy.radioto Ask Science@lemmy.world•Why is this ballpoint pen spring shaped like this?English514·4 days agoThis prevents spring distortion by effectively creating two shorter spring segments, probably because the pen designer wanted a longer barrel and the mechanical engineer was told to “figure it out that’s why we pay you” and the truth is I have no idea it just sounds plausible enough.

But Sometimes They Don’t Make Sense.
Refrigerator.
Really? I’m getting mixed signals tbh
667@lemmy.radioto Casual Conversation @lemm.ee•I recently changed a lightbulb that I was forgetting about for weeks (part of a 3-set). I took me a few minutes once I committed to it. What's the last menial task you postponed for far too long?English1·23 days agoThere are some things computers are just not good at, and collating memories is one of them—thus I am a huge proponent of scrapbooking. I’ve been scrapbooking since 2014, and since then I haven’t touched any of the tools, binders, or boxes of keepsakes I’ve been intending to go through.
667@lemmy.radioto Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related@lemmy.world•FDA to suspend quality-control program for food testing due to staff cutsEnglish19·25 days agoBackdoor deregulation. It’s been their plan all along.
I stay awake all day to punish myself for not sleeping at night.
667@lemmy.radioto Science@mander.xyz•Massive, Unarchivable Datasets of Cancer, Covid, and Alzheimer's Research Could Be Lost ForeverEnglish15·1 month agoFrom the article:
A message appeared at the top of multiple NIH websites last week that says: “This repository is under review for potential modification in compliance with Administration directives.”
Orwell:
Winston’s job was to rectify the original figures by making them agree with the later ones. […] The original figures were as arbitrary as the rectified ones, and in any case, the Party had control of all records, and they themselves created reality. The past, he reflected, had not merely been altered, it had been actually destroyed.
I regret that you you are right. Nothing’s been the same since Harambe.
667@lemmy.radioto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Dr Strange saw 14 million possible futures and none of them had Thor going for Thanos' head on his first shotEnglish15·1 month agoThat’s two levels deep, and an amazing take.
667@lemmy.radioto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Dr Strange saw 14 million possible futures and none of them had Thor going for Thanos' head on his first shotEnglish31·1 month agoThe subtext there might be that Dr Strange felt so hopeless about the situation that he didn’t conceive to look into the possibility, out of an infinite number of them.

667@lemmy.radioto You Should Know@lemmy.world•You should know there's a font designed to make reading easier, especially for people with low vision. It's called Atkinson Hyperlegible Next. It's free for personal and commercial use.English1·2 months agoThat’s quite a nice typeface. I find myself torn between serif vs sans; when reading a book it’s so ingrained to expect serif (I switched from Bookerly) that my eyes stuttered a bit when I started Atkinson’s.
As long as I can get the OTF or TTF files, I’ll try em all. You have any more?

667@lemmy.radioto Technology@beehaw.org•Wait, why is the White House using Starlink to ‘improve Wi-Fi’?English7·2 months agoThey’re letting the terrorism button cool off a bit, considering its basically not been let up since September 2001.
Next week is inconvenient for me as my existential dread has flared up again. Can we try tomorrow?
