Celebrating 10k raised!!

We've just raised funds to deploy a live streaming camera at one of our favourite dive sites Rapid Bay which is home to the elusive leafy seadragon!

We cant wait to get this camera down and share it with you all 🎥

@lucifargundam You would probably get used to it and not have much of an adrenaline rush. Much like looking over a cliff from a secure location

@drawandstrike

This is some of the dumbest shit I ever heard... people voting Ross Perot didnt put Bill Clinton in office, the 43% of people voting for Bill Clinton put Bill Clinton in office.

You act like third-party voters would all have voted GOP if they couldnt vote third party or something...

I'd much rather be a part of the minority who votes for the politician who is actually the best than the 90%+ of people who vote for horrible politicians and think its somehow a win because the other primary party candidate is as awful as theirs.

@FailForward There is a culture of drama on the internet sadly.. I think people think they get white knight points everytime they find someone they can decalre is "evil" whom they "vanquished" with a block... I wouldnt worry about it too much, they are usually just living some fantasy in their head and has little to do with you.

The disapearing notifications thing is common, it has to do with the timedelay of federation and tends to go away after some time. It may also be related to our subscribe feature which proactively tries to go out and fetch content regardless of an actual federated follow, which only stops once it gets notified you were blocked (which foreign servers dont always do and thus relies on periodic updates to become aware)

@Faket The planet was Abydos, the same planet from the movies, and the same planet skarra comes from in the series and movies.

Kasuf was the leader in the movies and series of the planet (pictured below from the series). He was also the father of sha're. So this is his younger self.

There is a **ton** of backstory that you apparently missed when you watched it (which explains why you didnt get as much out of it).

@Faket Did you miss the importance of who kasuf was in relationship to the other movies and shows, as well as what planet they were on?

@trinsec I dont mind vanilla minecraft at all, it means you have to get more creative to automate. More fun and more of a challenge IMO. Vanilla minecraft lets you do some super advanced stuff but you have to figure out how to do it with some pretty primitive tools. I have, using vanilla minecraft, automated just about every aspect of the game before.

@Faket I didnt really find it so bad, though it wasnt a masterpiece or anything. I like how they added some back story (the cartouche being broken, why ra was governing a planet directly, etc).. overall didnt really have any huge gripes up until that horrific ending.

@FailForward The consequence of federated social media.. We should spin up a block bot though, those notify you when someone blocks you.

Usually i just click someones profile and refresh and if the follow button is inactivated I know they blocked me.

@trinsec There are probably worst things to waste your time on honestly... minecraft is cool, havent played it in a bit though.

For some time I've been interested in what the world looks like with a different sensorium, so I was curious to know what the world would look like if we could see the polarization of light. To try it out, I bought these glasses and started wearing them: amazon.com/gp/product/B017V9VQ

They are linearly polarized like polarized sunglasses, but the polarization of one eye is 90° off the other. The result is that unpolarized light passes through unmodified, but linearly polarized light shows up differently in each eye, which gives an interesting "shimmer" effect.

Usually the world doesn't look that interesting with them on, TBH. For most of the day, the only polarized light you see is reflections, so your attention is drawn to cars, plastics and other man-made things.

@saxnot

The problem isnt that a party fights for their vision, it is the fact that their vision has blinders on and focuses with extremism on a few isolated ideals and never has a full world view.. They are parties for X, Y, or Z and never for "all the solutions to all the problems in one nice bundle".

What a party should be is a smart, educated, compassionate person who has a science backed solution for every problem that considers and addresses the concern of every "side" of an issue, not BE that side.
