That makes sense to me. Going to space is going to space; astronauts go to space.
I’ve been interested in peertube for a while. That’s good to know, thanks!
Came across this over on Mastodon, seemed like a good fit for this community.
Ramps are assistive technology, right?
I don’t know how to do image captions in Lemmy, so I’m putting a text description of the image here instead: The post’s main image is of a large format spiral bound booklet open to a middle page. The paper is manila colored and shows wavy wrinkles from years of use. On the page is a list of planet names in black text with braille embossed over it. At the bottom of the page is a chart of the planets arranged in a line, with each planets dot embossed so it can be felt. The top right corner has a NASA logo which is also embossed.
I’m modelling a pencil holder version of the star projector at the planetarium I volunteer for.
That is nuts. Thank you for the added context!
It looks pretty bulky for now, but seems like a promising advancement.
Wow, that laptop was my family’s computer growing up. Star Gate nostalgia hits different here.
The book “Talking to Strangers” by Malcolm Gladwell does an excellent job of explaining how access to convenient means of suicide increase rates, which contradicts the common argument that suicidal people will find other means to die if guns are less accessible. It turns out suicidal behavior is often situation and time specific, and removing tools for self harm means better chances of improvement.
I am not an AI advocate. But this will be cool if implemented well.
I met a medically retired marine back when I was in school that changed my view on this. His superior insisted on his group walking as much as possible with their packs, but instead of it just being extra exercise he wound up having to get an amputation after all of the stress on his legs lead to an issue with the arteries or veins. At a certain point, extra punishment isn’t beneficial, and a mechanism to manage it would be useful.
