that’s also a good reason to not have the screen fully close. less danger of stuff getting inside.

yeah but you’re not folding it 100 times a day. if you’re an avid reader, you’re opening and closing it 10-20 times a day tops.

no, and yes. i’m not going into more detail for fear of doxxing myself but basically we wanted the waveforms generated by a high-voltage short circuit.

later tests involved help from a power company and actual high-voltage lines.

we were recording the magnetic fields generated by a high-energy short circuit. we hung a mouse trap from one of the lines, with a lead going to one of the others, so that they fused together when it sprung.

it is normal here, yes. larger appliances get three phases, and single-phase outlets are split between them as evenly as possible.

we hijacked a conference room on a shared floor for a week and built a three-phase high-voltage line in there by hunting around the building for which sockets were on which phase, then plugging them into industrial transformers.

you’re thinking of the greeks. the norse gods were separate.

the days in english are from old norse, no?

• Sun’s day
• Moon’s day
• Tyr’s day
• Wodin’s day
• Thor’s day
• Freyr’s day
• Saturn’s day (okay that ones roman)

depends. it’s still an entire programming language.

i think that’s just a fundamental problem with designing magic systems though. if you design it logically, it doesn’t feel like magic. if you design it by feel, it doesn’t make sense. if you want it to feel magic but still be tricky to learn, it becomes a mess.

in the context of minecraft mods there’s also not much you can do.

hex casting is stack-based and has lots of different blocks for doing different things. trickster is fully functional and has very few blocks, but isn’t as well balanced for use with other mods. at least i think that’s the case.

i guess you could say the learning curve is a balance feature. it’s an entire functional programming language in a pretty unergonomic form factor, so actually building spells that do anything impressive takes a lot of time.

no, it does not. there is a rune that consumes amethyst but it’s just for flavour, so you can give your spell a cost if you want.

shout out to the trickster mod which is basically “what if magic is a lisp”

god, if “we didn’t think we’d need it” isn’t just the motto of wayland at this point.

font sizes and alignment are a big hint. usually you want punchy slogans to be the same or bigger than the surrounding text, and text on posters is usually centered.

can we not with the ai signs, the text is so annoying

i’d even be okay with making the graphic with an image generator if you would just fix the text

ELFA is still around.
