With polar coordinates and Fourier transforms, you can draw the outlines of tons of figures. But you can’t go back. Imagine that you can go with your pen around the center in only one direction, but any distance from the center.

Since this curve is cyclical, you can do it [-infinity ; +infinity] and it’s the same curve again and again.

Study suggests people make smelling sounds out of their arse.

What the actual fuck.

Oh crap. You are right. Now I feel angry if this is fake data.

It’s way more exhaustive actually ! https://books.google.fr/books?id=7mWeBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA97&hl=fr&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=1#v=onepage&q&f=false

I was maintaining a custom autoexec.bat just for TIE Fighter.

From my point of view : it has a hudge ecosystem with tons of robust libraries. This does not make it perfect, but for an industrial point of view, you don’t look for new shiny clean things. (My point of view is 15 years old yet…)

Sexy

I spearfish and my phone gives me random pictures of dead fishes. And cooked fishes.

A friend has been challenged when trying to bring a nordic cheese (from Norway to France). The TSA equivalent said that it could be liquid if hot enough. Yeah… glasses too.

Yes. It breaks points.

Oh man. That’s great! I love the pace of these videos.

Boooooring

Also lobsters. Lobsters can live for 100 years, but way less if gifted at Christmas.

Let’s make microplancton plastic toys.

Wait. What about microplastics in the oceans ?

What?! It isn’t?

Some wasps are. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tetrapus&diffonly=true

In Europe, we changed to the Euro not that long ago. I was a student and I used to use a shared laundry machine. It was the day before returning to school. I was barely alone in the dorms. Let’s do a laundry !

The machines were updated to get euros. There was another machine just to change the coins, especially since the washing machines only took one kind of coin (20 cents).

I put one fresh euro in the exchange machine, expecting to get 5 coins of 20 cents.

Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. <pause>… Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. <pause>… Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. Tching. <pause>…

What ?! The machine was buggy and would not stop. I grabbed a hoodie to put the coins in it. Soon, it was not enough. After what seems to be an eternity I was there with around 50€ and kilos of coins.

The thing is, harmful apps are now difficult to detect compared to years ago. The hackers prefer to get the control of your device without ruining it.
