the scientology is approved by people like Tom Cruise. Might be better avoiding though, even if Mission Impossible is enjoyable.

for a lot of people (me included), a cheap second hand thinkpad (or dell pro) with a light distro would be more than enough to cover their computing needs for years.

not sure what you mean, but I find that Dells are also cheap (second hand) easy to find, reliable, solid and easy to maintain (like the hardware is easy to access for cleaning and replacing/updating).

edit : I’m using a latitude 5470 with lubuntu. I bought it second in a pawn shop a few years ago and added some RAM last year, it still runs like a charm.

yeah, it’s more about finding open minded people with empathy (and be open minded and empathic ourself) more than finding people just like us. Embracing differences, respecting and understanding eachother is key. There are plenty of people out there who keep their kids to themself and have plenty of other interests, it’s easier to meet them if we don’t push them away in the first place (just like they don’t push us way fro being child free).

the archerfish can accurately spit jets of water to hunt inscects … I’m sure there are much more examples of other species accurately throwing things around. we’re not that special …

weshgo, 9 months ago (edited 9 months ago)

it is not such a stretch. according to Oxford dictionary, to throw is :

1.propel (something) with force through the air by a movement of the arm and hand.

which is a very human concept. We then can not judge other species ability to do it (exept primates). just like we can not say animals don’t have languages because thay don’t speak english.

2.send suddenly into a particular state or condition.

The archer fish is then very efficient at sending water into a particular state or condition with high accuracy.

the octopus for exemple has been observed throwing stuff around.

edit : elephants do it to. and you can find plenty of bird examples.

thanks ! that is usually what I do. Someone offered me a sketch book made of stone paper (it’s actually quite nice to draw on), so I was wondering what to think of it.

thanks for the clarification ! that clear it up :) I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it advertised several times, but I can’t find the actual claim anymore … I hope I haven’t made this up somehow, otherwise I apologize for the misinformation :/ (I’ll keep looking).

Thanks :) I used idia ink in a brush/water pen, it’s a brush with a small tank in the shaft that you can fill with water or ink. like that :)
