Why do women wear mascara that makes it look like they just woke up and have the flu... in fact, why do women use mascara at all. Then again I kinda find most makeup extremely unattractive so I am probably more bias than most.

@freemo "Aesthetic adornment is a cultural universal and mascara can be documented in ancient Egypt. Records from around 4000 BC refer to a substance called kohl that was used to darken eyelashes, eyelids, and eyebrows.[7] Kohl was used to mask the eyes, believed to ward off evil spirits and protect the soul, by both men and women."

The treatment of Julian Assange is insanity. No matter what you think of him as a person or as a journalist, no matter if he had sexually abused someone or not, the Kafkaesque and demeaning treatment of him and his case is an embarrassment to the legal system and human rights.

@peter I agree about the centralization of internet services, and it could probably be the reason for slow IPv6 adoption. Bitcoin is at least decentralized, and really looks promising compared to the hyperinflation of western currencies.

In other words, the best defense is incorruptible employees.

How to simulate a nuclear reactor on an analog computer (from Principles of Nuclear Reactor Engineering, Samuel Glasstone, 1955). #retrocomputing #electronics

Added a SHT31 humidity/temp sensor, and tweaked some more. CO2 experiments soon...

[S1] CO2: 414ppm, TVOC: 2ppb, baseLine: 0xADC1 (0xA8C0), lErr: 0b0
[S2] Pressure: 100629.10Pa, Temp: 32.71C
[S3] External temp: 31.69C
[S4] Humidity: 55.96%, Temp: 32.76C
Uptime: 1966s

@freemo @funny I wish this was the case across the board, but expensive brand names seems to be excluded by tech workers.

@2ck The bounce/reflection changes the frequency depending on material, different frequencies are perceived as different colors by the receptors in the eye. The absorbed photons turn into heat, the ones which gives partial energy to an atom will be reflected at a new angle. The average frequency of all photons reaching your eye determines color.

This may be the best chance we get for years to ban federal use of face surveillance and withhold some federal tax dollars from paying for this invasive and dangerous technology. eff.org/deeplinks/2020/06/now-
